I have been so disappointed with my Michael's. They have zero Happy Planner and very little Tim Holtz. So sad!

They are definitely putting the emphasis on the in-house brands.

It's so sad Michael's don't carry Happy Planners anymore, it used to be so much fun looking through them.

I've noticed the lack of Happy Planner items in Michael's, also. May not be a stocking problem. Yikes.

They may just be scaling back their happy planner selection...

Yes most of the craft stores I've gone to really had no Happy Planners. I was so sad.....

Our Canadian Michaels is sad, too, when it comes to Happy Planner. I wondered if they were going to discontinue carrying HP totally. Surprisingly, our Staples carries a better supply of HP planners and notebooks. I can often pick up a notebook for $5....score!

Good to know, maybe I need to check out Staples!

I think HP low stock is making room because the new Spring release is usually in March? Also love Pipsticks, I’d love to see their washi in stores!

It might be that they are prepping for the spring release. Here's hoping!

What an inspiring shopping trip and I agree about the Lexington cart. I have a lexington cart in the kitchen (my washer is in the kitchen and the cart is my 'laundry room' ) and 2 in my craftroom/office, but I have nothing hanging off the sides, I know myself enough to know I would knock that stuff off constantly.

Good to know what works for you and what doesn't!

They might be working on getting rid of the current inventory ahead of the spring release which is probably coming in the next month or two I'd imagine.

Haha, saved by traffic!

I specifically asked at my Michael’s because I thought maybe they had just relocated them to another area of the store and they told me they are no longer carrying Happy Planner products. I’m not sure if that’s going to be for the entire chain or if it’s store dependent but it’s super disappointing!

@ScrappyWife

I think it must be a store to store decision, because I've seen some that have much larger HP areas.

Your store has more then mine. I don't have any planner stickerbooks or planners.

Thanks for taking me shopping! Fortunately it was a “no” spend for me! I love Tim Holtz and always find myself buying something from his collection when I find them at a different store.💙💛🪴

Yes, I can totally relate to that!

I have that Hudson cart topper - I have my Cricut on it! Works well for that since I am short on space to have it out on a countertop or desktop space. That’s actually why I got the Hudson cart in the first place! I knew I wanted to have my Cricut on it! I am also obsessed with collecting things that have my first initial “C” on them! Might have to go check out Michaels! It’s definitely been a hot minute since I have been to Michaels because of the lack of new items, and Happy Planner items. I love that CREATE neon light! The project pads are nice too because they are built as part of a collection so you can build a project a bit easier if you have the other collection pieces. I am a scrapbook paper pad junkie though and I enjoy trying to find things in my stash that work together with the papers I have - it’s a challenge I give myself!

@ScrappyWife

Using your stash is always a worthy challenge! And yes, I agree, it is always rough when there is not fresh inventory at Michaels. I do enjoy those project pads though!

I tend to prefer getting The Home Edit bins, they hold ALOT. If you can snag the 8 piece Multipurpose Edit (sometimes Walmart clearances them out so you get them for $12.50 rather than $25) you get drawer organizers/desk organizers in the 3 smaller sizes and the larger size works great for material storage (my craft is bow making so I have tons of ribbon in there). The XL bins are great too as well as the narrow ones, and they are far more affordable than the Michael's ones. Also, those Lexington carts: If you get the clear frosted baskets with holes that have the white handles (they do come in different colors, I just have those) they fit 2 to a section which helps wrangle stuff in cart.

@@ScrappyWife I agree, it's very inspiring to walk around the store. My problem is will power. Will I walk around the store or will I walk to cash register and pay for the stuff in my cart that somehow magically got in there? LOL!!!
