We have NO craft stores around here, other than Wal-Mart and they shrunk the crafts sections to about 2 isles here. I do have Michael's and Hobby Lobby but they are well over 45 minutes away on a good day. So I HAVE to shop online And I am on a fairly tight budget (although at times my mail carrier doubts it).... So where are your favorite places to shop. I ordered from Blitsy once (and my order is supposed to come today, I ordered it June 9th, prices though were great) I have ordered from SSS (I get the monthly kit), and I love the selection but they are high priced. So where is your favorite place to shop? I am always on the look out for new places that have great customer service.

I usually shop at A Cherry On Top. They are not always the lowest price, but if you sign up for emails, they regularly offer 20% off your order, including shipping. They have everything you could ever want, lol!
ETA - ACOT has great service. They package everything extremely well. I've never had a bent corner from them.
I also use Amazon quite often.

Amazon and eBay.
I'm primarily a cardmaker and love to look at design inspiration on Pinterest. If a Pinner has an active link to the original post and it has the exact names and items numbers, I start by googling for sources and checking prices and shipping and handling.
I often end up purchasing from Amazon because I have Amazon Prime. My second-best option has been eBay because many vendors have free shipping. I find that most of the dedicated Scrapbooking/Craft shops have way too high shipping for single items, or the minimum order for free shipping it too high for my budget. I like to buy only what I need and not have to try to pad my order to get free shipping.

I am lucky enough to have a LSS an hour away and several more at a distance of about 2.5 hours. Michaels in the same general area. I do my best to keep them in business And the LSS's keep me well supplied with brand name papers, basic supplies, and extras. When I order on line, I usually go to Paper Wishes because I like some of their exclusive products (like "dazzles" stickers) and Taylored Expressions because they have so many really cute dies. Both offer lots of ideas on line. PW has a weekly webisode showcasing different products and techniques, and TE has a great blog. When you sign up, they send emails of their specials and events. Great question erica8 ! Love to get a summary of where everyone feeds the habit!

There are no longer any LSS anywhere near me. I use Michaels and HobLob (and their coupons) for generic things like adhesives and 100# white card stock. I often check Amazon and they sometimes have some really good deals. I've purchased a number of Lawn Fawn stamps and dies from them at great prices (and free shipping with Prime).
Online scrapbook and stamp stores for me include SSS, Ellen Hutson, ACOT and scrapbook.com. Most times I buy stamps and dies directly from the manufacturer.

I buy TONS of letter stickers from Walmart!
A cherry on Top has fast shipping a huge supply of stuff.
Paper issues has latest and greatest, everyday promo codes, and extremely friendly community on Facebook and fast shipping.
Blue moon has great stuff but the shipping is a bit longer. I don't mind because when I ordered, my confirmation email gave me a phone number if I had any questions or just felt like chatting and that cracked me up.
Joanns .com has the pretty good paper deals.
Scrapbook steals has neat surprises.
And I need to stop shopping...

I often find what I want on ebay, and I've gotten some good deals by being patient and persistent waiting for the right price and the right shipping charge.

I like paper issues for the permanent discount code (join facebook group) and reasonable shipping to Canada I also just discovered that scrapbook.com has decent shipping rates too, so will likely be adding some stuff from them!

Do you have a Tuesday Morning store near you? A lot of us have been finding scrapping treasures there!

I do HL and Ms. HL can be ordered online also if you don't have one nearby. I have used scrapbook.com and Paper Issues. PI is really fast on her shipping and the cost of shipping is not so terrible.
If you want things but don't have to have them immediately, you can order from Scrapbookgeneration.com. They have a special program called Bank-It. You put things in your cart along with the bank-it and they hold your order until you get to $75 and then shipped with free shipping. So you can buy just a pack of ephemera. Bang! No outrageous amount of shipping on a $3.99 item. They have a Markdown Monday with different specials every week.

Paper Issues, is that the 20% off? Or is is more on FB? If it is 20, you don't even have to join the FB group the code is right on their site. But if it is more, I'll join!

I really wanted to try SBG for this very reason...but when I went to check the shipping on my tiny and I do mean tiny order (like 2 packs of Thickers and a few packs of stickers NO 12x12 papers, or pads or albums) the shipping was $29.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The same items (if they had them) at scrapbook.com would have shipped for $7.00! So I guess I won't be shopping there. Save

Use code Melissa for 20% off your total order at PaperIssues.com She ships super fast. I try to post here when she has new collections hit the stores or bigger discount codes.

I love scrapbook.com. They have amazing customer service. I thought they forgot to ship me something because two paper pads were wrapped together and I couldn't tell that because I'm a dork. They sent a new one to me immediately when I thought it was missing. They even let me combine shipping when I screwed up and wanted to add more to an order

The thing about the Paper Issues FB group is that Cassie is always having extra sales 30, 40 and recently 50% off. And sometimes it's just for the group only. Most times we get a few days head start, too if it's a sale for all and not just group. Plus, we get advance notice on when she's getting shipments or loading things in the shop. It's a friendly group with lots of great challenges. That is why I belong to the group and its my go to place first. If not there then Scrapbook.com. Also a Facebook group that is now an online shop too called scrap happy deals. But I'll tell you this, I always contact Cassie at PI first if I'm looking for something and she has gone out of her way to get it!

I can usually find stuff here and there at the big box stores but I do a good amount of shopping when the Expo comes to town. mostly paper that you can't find at the box stores.

I also shop at A Cherry on Top and I've been very pleased with their service and their super fast shipping. Do pay attention if there is anything marked with an asterisk in your shopping cart as those items will delay your shipping. Otherwise they are super fast.

Has anyone shopped from the online store shoppumpkinspice.com ? Just today I ran across this site and it does look like they have some good prices. Does anyone have any reviews or recommendations about this site? Thanks.
