Hobby Lobby — Local services in Lubbock

Hobby Lobby is great at convincing anyone that spends enough time in their store, that Martha Stewart lives in all of us and it's possible to create beautiful designs from scratch. Then you arrive home with bags full of parts only to realize that it's not quite as simple. But you rationalize it because it was all 50% off. So, in that aspect they have a huge selection to do or make any project you can dream up. I did learn something at this particular shopping trip that I didn't know before. All of their candles and candle accessories were marked down 50% off. I bought lots of taper candles and things that I wouldn't have because of the 50% off signs all through the isles. What I didn't see was that it only applied to items that were over $2.99. The candles I didn't really need or want for the candelabras that I rarely use, were $1.79 at full price but since I thought they were included in the sale I picked up enough to change colors for different holidays. So I needed 10 of each color. As I was being checked out, I was told these didn't qualify for the sale. I didn't read the ultra small print. As there were already multiple people behind me, I didn't want to cause a longer checkout by not getting the candles that had already been rung up, I did say I didn't want the rest, but left with a little bit of a bitter taste after....

Hobby Lobby is an exceptional store: they have ALL kinds of art supplies for all types of skill/talent levels (including desks, easels, lighting, cases). They even offer a framing dept which will beautifully frame one of your own pieces or something you just found there. Other areas are dollhouse/miniatures; trains; stenciling; t-shirts/bags/aprons; paper crafts & scrapbooking; jewelry & beading; stone, clay & masonry work; woodworking; children's crafts (separate supplies, bulk and/or kits); science & school projects and supplies; floral & wedding; fabrics & sewing; knitting, crocheting, cross stitch & rug hooking; home furnishing (i.e., decor, furniture, mirrors, building supplies, even drawer pulls, etc.); mosaics; and, of course any & everything "seasonal". It is a HUGE place & I'm probably leaving half of what they offer off this list. Just know that there is an enormous selection of quality & more affordable materials & supplies available. It's hard for me to go because I want to get way more stuff...

Brought in comics to be framed and a frame that was made at this store a few years ago. Apparently they didn't take a photo of how it was supposed to be placed and I got a phone call they didn't I said I didn't think I had a photo but would have to ask my husband or I could go up and arrange them but they are numbered somewhere the guy said no he thinks he remembers. He said something about changing a mats color because it ripped when taking it apart I said no that's not what I wanted. I had the same issue a few weeks ago they didn't order the right mat and I settled then this time no. I get there and the comics are half wrong and I brought a photo to compare too. They said they will redue it I said no this time. The comics s slid out of place after receiving it the first time and now they are mixed up so no I will take them somewhere else when I get moved those comics are worth a lot and do not need to be handled like they are doing...
