Buyer beware. A few items in my order were out of stock online. The order was auto sent to the "local" store for pick up. Unfortunately, my work schedule and appointments conflict with the store hours. Apparently policy has changed and all orders are autosent to a local store. Never had this happen before.
The online availability is updated every 24 hours, so some items listed as available might not be.

I heard Michael's is going out of business. This may be part of that. Good luck.
Sorry, I forgot my manners. Thanks for the heads up, I'll be looking it over 👍

Got there and back in less than an hour! I was the only person in the bead aisle too. This was just over 100$ Thanks so much for this post. I went to a gem show today specifically to get beads and only came home with rocks lol.

julieooly Nice haul. My purchases will be arriving over the next week or so. I got a "few" strands of specialty beads, a variety of shell beads, jewelry findings and beading needles.

Our AC Moore definitely looks like it is closing. Too bad. I liked it more than our Micheal's. eta- julieooly If you have one- hit that one up, too.

Another better deal just came in. 40% off all regular priced purchases through 12/16. Promo Code HOLLY40W.
I knew there was a reason I did not purchase some needed/wanted items that were not on sale.

Good thing though I think I have enough now! The binder I made was awesome but I didn't consider where I was going to put it and it just didn't fit into my space. i'll post some pics from my phone. If you can't seem them lemme know, I got these great storage boxes at Michaels when I went last night. I put a cat bed under my work table, my Bony loves it under there. There's a heat vent that just blasts me and I was looking for a way to close it off better, this is a win win for the two of us. Pics in next post.

Just spent the rest of my budget. Findings, shadow boxes and a couple other things. One being a bulk purchase of supplies for my artist daughter. That will be her B-day present in March.
Ended up with over $600.00 of items for less than $100.00. All were needed or presents. No impulse purchases.
Thinking I did good.

Had to check exact $ spent on everything I ordered. Daughter sent a last minute present request for some immediate need art supplies.
So, 75 items ordered. Cost, including sales tax was $128.00. Not bad, considering the shadow boxes ended up at $15.00 for both. My highest priced items.
Figured going over budget for this amazing sale was fine, considering Some items are presents.

Can't begin to tell you all how many times wife dragged me into AC Moore, coupons in hand. The last few years we've gone to Michaels and Walmart. I've purchase a small fortune in yarn and South Carolina is a little warmer for her efforts. Rick B

How are you storing and organizing them? Gosh you get up early in the morning! Got home from work at about 11:15 last night. I had been wide awake since 2:00 AM. Was able to sleep until about 4:00 AM today. Have to work a full shift from 3:00 - 11:00 today. Coffee is my friend, lol. Storage methods depend on material. For the findings, I store opened packages in small tackle box. The others are in one box marked silver and one marked other metals. Beads are separated according to material. I have one for crystal types. One for shells/corals. One for Hemetite. One for Turquoise (or dyed turquoise). One for wood. One for metal beads. One for misc. When using the beads, I only remove as many as needed for the project I am working on. It can be tough to remember is a specific bead is Natural Turquoise, reconstituted Turquoise, Dyed Howlite or dyed Magnesite.
