I've just been wondering when we might start seeing anything seasonal from Martha at Michaels for Christmas?? Does anyone have any clues on that?? or has your Michaels changed the seasonal portion of her display over yet??
I hope they wait until at least AFTER Hallowe'en.... I'd be VERY disappointed otherwise! I know as crafters we like to at least start planning our projects in advance, but one holiday at a time for me!
Hope her Christmas stuff is as swell as the Hallowe'en was though!

It's out at my Michael's. Some cool new border punches. Nothing else that made a huge impression, because I'm totally drawing a blank. I'll have to stop in again tomorrow for another look. ;)
I called my Mikes this weekend and asked if the X-mas stamping stuff was out yet. The manager said it will be out in another week or so after halloween. I know many SCSers said their Mikes already had the x-mas stuff out so I've been watching mine for it. I like their cheap stamp sets. I bought all of them last year and i'm hoping they come out with some good things this year including the Martha stuff!
It's always so interesting to see how Michaels is different in every part of the country. Our general Christmas things--including the end cap of rubber stamps, stamp sets and boxes and pads of Christmas-themed papers--has been out for at least 2 months, it seems. Christmas trees, etc have been out for a month . . . it's just the Martha things that haven't shown up yet. I figured that when they totally clearanced out Martha's Halloween and Fall things--they'd replace that display with Christmas and Winter things.
Punches sound good, especially since we can use our coupons now
I heard from an employee at my Michael's that they won't be getting any Martha seasonal stuff from now on. It may be different at each Michael's but I hope she is wrong. :(
I just got the new Michaels flyer yesterday and they show x-mas stamping stuff all on sale. I called my M's today and they will not have the truck in until next week. The mana ger said to hang on to the flyer and bring it in as they will still honor the sale price next week after they get the stuff in and put out. Can't wait!!!
Georgia268, wouldn't that be something if there is no Martha Christmas stuff? I just went and checked marthastewartcrafts.com and there is nothing on there, actually! If you click on holidays and occasions, birthdays and Halloween are listed--but no Christmas. Even a search on that website only brought up glue!! Certainly, if you want to work on Christmas cards or special packaging, etc--the time to get started is now!!
All of the Martha Halloween stuff at my Michaels has a big sign hanging close to it saying 50% off ending 10/31. It'll be very interesting to see if it all disappears after Wednesday and nothing Martha is put in its place.
Hmmmm (I'm probably obsessing about this a little too much) . . .
My Mike's was emptying out a lot of their regular Martha stock yesterday; maybe making room for something new? Whole sections of rolled wrapping paper were going, a lot of ribbon...I'm wondering what the rest of the week will bring?
today I was in Michael's and Martha Christmas was out. NICE! I was gonna buy some Christmas goodie boxes BUT then I found some Martha plain white ones on clearance for 3 bucks!! and I get to decorate them myself!! 6 boxes for 3 bucks! FYI measurement is 3 in W X 1.8 in D X 6.5 in H!!

I work for Michaels and our Martha Christmas stuff was waiting to go out on the floor when I left yesterday. I wish I would have had time to paw through the boxes before I left yesterday. ( One of the perks of the job) Also, check the regular Martha stuff because there is a lot on clearance but we don't use the regular Michael's clearance labels on them. The clearance labels on the Martha stuff looks just like the regular labels. Some of it has been about 70% off! I got some cute note cards that are very stampable. Overall a lot of Martha's products haven't been selling that well at least at the store I am at. I will be curious to see where the line goes in the spring.
