Default Black Friday craft specials

It's almost that time, when people throw caution to the wind and go broke buying bargains.

Let's make it easier for SCS members to find those bargains by posting all the Black Friday stamping, scrapping and cardmaking specials in one thread.

I'd start, but I don't yet know of any to share. :oops:

Hi Melissa! I was just thinking of doing that tonight!

I usually check out Black Friday Ads - The Official Black Friday 2011 Website for Black Friday Deals! for a list of all black friday ads.

Here are Michael's BF deals: Michaels Black Friday Ad - The Official Black Friday Website (Sale begins 4 pm on Thanksgiving?!, 138 items). M's is also doing a sale the 19th and 20th as a pre-BF sale. I just got the email today, so you can probably get it if you sign up for their list or shoot me a PM and I'll forward it to your email addy)

And Joann's BF deals: Joann Fabrics Black Friday Ad - The Official Black Friday Website (Sale begins at 6 am Friday, 129 items)

The Cat's Pajamas (SCS Member Company and HYCCT prize donor!) is having a BF sale EVERY Friday in November. Check out the info here: Black Friday SALE by Miss Meowy at Splitcoaststampers

Wow! What a great start to this thread! Thank you!!!!

You probably figured out that I started it after we touched on Black Friday in the HYCCT thread. :-)

BTW ... It's really stinky that Michael's is making it's employees work Thanksgiving evening! I guess they figured they'd not be able to compete with Best Buy, Target and those other places that will offer huge discounts on expensive items.

I'll be working on my Christmas cards on that day. Likely won't even get in the car on Thursday or Friday--but if they have things left on Saturday I may venture out and check out some bargains then.

It is sad that so many stores will be open on Thanksgiving. I feel sorry for the employees. I won't shop on Thanksgiving even if they have the Grand Caliber for $10.

Hobby Lobby will never open on Thanksgiving or in the middle of the night. The most they do is open 1 hour early on Black Friday . Good for them!!

Embelli**** is having a sale beginning today with 40-80% off on 1200 products. That is Embellish It but the site name is actually one word.

I'll be doing some online shopping if I can find some appropriate sales. I wish the stores would announce their sales sooner than later though so I can plan ahead and figure out which sites I need to concentrate on and how to make my money go further finding which sites are offering the best prices on the things I'm hoping to find :-)

Hobby Lobby is a Christian-owned store. They are also closed Sundays and Christmas (not sure what the practice is for other holidays as our local HL just opened a few months ago). Kudos to them. They value faith and family over money ... as it should be.

Flourishes stamps are having a Black Friday sale, too. I don't know any details but when I do, I can post them.

Also, another fav store of mine is Scrap-Mart, they usually have some awesome deals. A couple years ago I bought Spellbinders for $10 each!!! I tried to stock up on as many as I could get I think last year they were 50% off, or around $12 each, still not too shabby!

When I see more I can help post too I am strictly online BF shopping this year, as we will be hosting family at our house on Thanksgiving. My husband's family is Asian and my Mom (MIL) has no interest in scrapping so it would be rude to drag her to a scrap shop on BF

Oh My Crafts has various sales between now and Black Friday. Today, I ordered 6 bottles of Zing Metallic Embossing Powder: Three colours for $5.50! My mom and I are splitting the order and even with the shipping to Canada, the end price is much lower than I could find it locally.

I shop at Hobby Lobby over other stores because they practice what they preach.

You can always find a clerk on the floor to help you find something. If they run out of an advertised special they will give you a rain check. They don't play games with Door Busters and only have a couple to sell.

In our area we can have severe snow storms and Hobby Lobby is the first business to close so their employees can get home safely.
They are closed on Sundays, Christmas and Thanksgiving and they close early on National holidays so their employees can enjoy family time.

They pay higher wages than the other craft stores. In fact I read that two years ago in the middle of the recession they gave their employees a raise.
I don't know anyone who works at HL.

I'm actually looking for a KINDLE TOUGH 3G...I wonder if Amazon will have it less than the $149 as it's new and will just be released next week. Maybe they will add some free book downloads or something with it? Wishing...Wishing!!!

Why not? They have such lovely stamps, but their cost is what keeps me from buying them (sort of on principle). I will buy them second hand but I can't afford their prices :(

Mel, tomorrow (sunday) It looks like QVC is going to have the Nook as their value of the day. Usually, they throw in extra stuff when they do these. So tune in, it may be worth your while. (No, I don't work for QVC! LOL)

Well it arrived in a package just like an Apple product - simple, with a pretty little graphic card with like 5 words on it.

You turn it on and it already knows your account info and has any books you've downloaded with (in my case) the Kindle app or another Kindle you have.

It's a fantastic size and is very simple to use.

I read 15 chapters of the Help last night and couldn't put it down, and I'm VERY old school about books

My mom has the one right before this, and the leap in design and size is pretty amazing. If you looked at it you'd swear Steve Jobs made it.

It has WiFi.

I'm in love.

ROTFL!!
As a former (backsliding) Weight Watchers member, I can so relate!
Honestly, though, I'd have a tougher time with the pies and cookies than I do with the stamps.

I spoke too soon.
Not a Black Friday, but a (pre holiday sale): Unity's Brown Friday with 45% off the stamps. Great deal!! And smart to get the bargains out early!!
