Hobby Lobby — Local services in Summit Township

I ❤❤❤ craft stores! I am a crafter, painter, and a DIY stay at home mom. Unfortunately Hobby Lobby did not get a very good rating from me. I had a whole afternoon to myself, a mom of 3 boys this is very rare, I was near Hobby Lobby and have never been there so I was very excited to finally check it out! I had a list of few few random things to get and hours to myself so I took my time and went through every isle. Well after about 20 minutes of taking my time, looking at items and checking out prices I noticed I was being followed by an employee. They thought I was shop lifting :( I understand it is part of their job, so I put my purse in the front of my cart, zipped, so hopefully they would see that I wasn't and had no plans to steal.

I became so uncomfortable I only made it through half the isles and two items on my list but decided I wanted to leave.

A big CONGRATS to Master Framer Laura! Laura and Ray do excellent framing of many local photographers' work, mine included. And she is also an artist in her own right. She recently joined the Photographic Arts Society of NWPA and entered one of her pieces in a gallery show at Glass Growers, coolest gallery in Erie. I was so happy to see her there at the Opening Night reception, especially because she was so excited to be a part of our group. I totally understand that feeling! Well, last night at our PASNWPA meeting, don't I hear that Laura SOLD her piece! Not bad for first time out, Laura! ...
