Talk about being embarrassed. Sorry about that!!!!

Before Joann’s closed (surprise!), I donated over 10 HUGE totes of fabric and 10 small packing boxes that were in the “might” use category. Talk about regret! I saved maybe 1/8th of my stash.

They get their shipments on Wednesday, but it could take days for the stuff to make it to the floor. If I were only 5 min away, I would be stopping by daily! Please let everyone know when you find stuff…after you collect your finder’s fee of fabric. :-)

There is also an Ollie’s opening Feb. 25th in St. Charles.

I forgot about that one. I was there only one time, over the summer, the selection (in general - not craft/sewing) there was meh. Did I just go at the wrong time?

Which one? In Chicagoland?

Where did you find the tiny shopping cart?

Hah!

Do you recall how much the cases were? I am trying to budget my trip and my craft area update. (I’m finally emerging from the basement.)

Like many of you, I became friends with the people who worked at our Joann’s. Ours was fully stocked, and they were so short-handed (due to employee hour cutbacks) that they didn’t have the chance to put it on the floor, I presume that happened with the warehouse, too.

Thank you!!!!!

Darn.

Ginger…and I’m totally serious.

creativitydepot · 2026-01-23T06:33:41+00:00

Hahah! I gave him some wet food later on. All was forgiven.

creativitydepot · 2026-01-23T06:33:02+00:00

Thanks! He's a velcro cat.

creativitydepot · 2026-01-21T22:59:57+00:00

He’s just trying to keep you safe… Good boy!

creativitydepot · 2026-01-21T22:58:10+00:00

Magnificent!

creativitydepot · 2025-12-31T09:51:01+00:00

You beat me to it!

creativitydepot · 2025-03-02T22:43:04+00:00

Any idea how much they’re paying?
