There wasn’t much at my store. The Tim Holtz markdowns were mostly the metal embellishments which I’m not into. I did get a TH distress crayon watercolor kit for $6.25 , which is half price. It looks like it will be fun to play with. It has 6 markers, a brush, paper, paper, several stamps, and a black ink pad. Not bad since that stamps alone would cost about that much. My store doesn’t even carry the Gemini.

Heavy duty paper packs were 50% off. I bought 4 packs for card making. I bought two TH hipster stamps that came with dies. Regular $19.99 on clearance $3.25 each.

Thank you so much for posting, Hobby Lobby is right around the corner. I got the TH alphabets for 2.75, some cute TH mason jars for 1.75, some of his markers, a hipster goat with a die, some spellbinders, and some cute wood stamps. Screamin' deals. Time to use them!

I stopped in at one HL yesterday, and didn't see ANYTHING with clearance prices in the Tim Holtz section- there were some empty hooks, so maybe all the stuff was already gone? (but I don't think I've ever even seen that tag maker in the store... and that's what I was really looking for.) There wasn’t much at my store. The Tim Holtz markdowns were mostly the metal embellishments which I’m not into. I did get a TH distress crayon watercolor kit for $6.25 , which is half price. It looks like it will be fun to play with. It has 6 markers, a brush, paper, paper, several stamps, and a black ink pad. Not bad since that stamps alone would cost about that much. My store doesn’t even carry the Gemini. ^^^ this does sound like a good deal! I'd like to try those distress crayons, too... I'll have to stop by one of the other Hobby Lobby stores and see what they have.

They finally marked stuff down but then most were already gone so I asked an employee and she suggested a different location so I made a road trip today and got some goodies. Very happy and it was worth the drive but it was s complete gamble on my parts. Both stores had an empty space where the Gemini was.
It's also weird that prices are different from store to store as my prices were higher than some mentioned here. No complaints here though.

So...I'm seeing posts in several places (YT, IG, etc.) that employees have told people that they're downsizing the Papercrafting section to give more room to general crafts. Has anyone here heard that while they were in the store? Half of that is true. We are downsizing one aisle of papercrafts and one aisle of cards & party to make room for more seasonal. That's why the clearance is 75% off right out of the gate... we have to get rid of all that stuff! And each store isn't starting their clearance until after inventory is finished (which they should be now since inventory ended in January). The clearance packet for papercrafts is 174 pages, which is MASSIVE. Since we don't have scanners, we have to ticket all of those items by hands, so it will take some time.

The store closest to me had a big section of empty hooks where the TH stuff used to be. I got a thin die alphabet set for $5 (TINY letters though, not sure I’ll actually use them) from that area. Also a set of Pebbles chalks for three bucks and change, two packs of Minion stickers for my friend, a Echo Park collection pack for $2.50. They had a ton of planners and planner stuff on clearance too, but I left all that there because I don’t use what I have enough to justify buying more.
Who here was looking for the pink Carpe Diem planner? The store I went to had the blush ones in both sizes on clearance, the smaller one was $7.50 and the bigger one was $10 both of which were less than half price.

Most of the clearance stuff I saw was in the aisles where the stuff normally lived, not in the back wall clearance area. The store by me used to have a lot of the smaller clearance items pulled out and collected kind of on the sides of the endcaps at the back end of the aisles, but all of those were gone when I was there this week.

Please don't say that they are clearing out so much brand name stuff to keep mostly Hobby Lobby branded items. Oh please, oh please don't say that. Ughhhh......

Went to HL for the first time in my life. They just opened (today) one 5 miles away from me. It was overwhelming! It is Michaels + Joann + Home Goods all in one. Lots of TH in clearance. I was going to buy the ink cubes, but not all sets are on sale. I did notice everything is their brand, including yarn.

My store was pretty wiped out too but there were still a few things.

There was NOTHING on clearance at the bigger HL I wrong to today. That was kind of a bummer. ^^^ the same thing happened to me yesterday- nothing in the Tim Holtz section was on sale, at all. There were a few sticker packages here and there for 75% off, and I did see a random selection of Paper Source paper pads on clearance for $5, but nothing I wanted. I take it back- I saw ONE foam stamp I liked- regularly $2 on sale for 50 cents- but I didn't want it bad enough to wait in line to buy it. So far I've gone to 2 different Hobby Lobby stores; I might hit another one or two today, just to see, but I'm beginning to think those great Tim Holtz deals just aren't happening here in AZ. (I saw one Youtube video where the person had gotten the Distress Ink minis for clearance prices! And someone here mentioned getting a Distress crayons watercoloring kit- I really wanted to see those kinds of things on sale, but no such luck...)

Of the items that are being discontinued, I'd say we're clearancing half HL branded Papercrafts and half name brand stuff.

I picked up 3 paper pads (Paper Studio which is a HL brand) today - 2 were 3.75, the other was 5. I wouldn't have bought them at full price or even 50% off but they were clearance priced low enough that I talked myself into them.
I got Little Boys and Their Toys....some of the pages are too juvenile for me to use but there were enough I see me using to make it worth $3.75 (and I've actually got one that I didn't think I would use that's now the background for a layout in progress - so win-win there)
Also Murphy's Square which'll be perfect for outdoors and masculine layouts - I've already used 2 pages in a layout today.
And Pixie Sticks which is totally not my typical style - so PINK - but the colours are bright not pastel/washed out - hopefully I'll use it

I walked around another HL yesterday and actually found a few things to put into my cart, but then talked myself out of spending $$ on it, since I have so much stuff at home already. (and since I had just bought $20 worth of SB supplies at a thrift store, lol!)
I just need to stay out of the stores altogether, I think- I'm starting to shop 'just for the sake of shopping' to waste time (which ends up wasting $$ especially since I haven't actually made a SB page in about 6 months.
