I’m not gonna lie. I’m a bit of a craft hoarder. My craft stash rivals many well-appointed craft stores. So it goes without saying that I would be excited about Mindy’s Minute Market, a deal of the day site devoted to great prices on craft finds. Mindy’s Minute Market wanted you to be excited too, so they are giving away (edit: our winner has been selected – see below) a prize pack worth over $100 and filled with all kinds of delightful craft supplies!
I interviewed MMM to see why they wanted to give you some goodies:
How did Mindy’s Minute Market happen?
Our online store started as a means of intervention. We love to craft…we hate to spend…so we would try to justify our purchases by buying BULK. Now we have too much NOT to share.
What makes Mindy’s Minute Market more special than other daily deal shops?
We have a terrific site that offers a daily deal with an ongoing “store” that offers missed opportunities {who DOESN’T believe in second chances?}. We offer craft, decor, accessory and other fun purchases that we find at the cheapest possible price that yes, we’ve bought in bulk.
Ooh, clever! You started a store to deal with your stashes… hmmm… sounds like a good solution for a stash the size of a small country. *cough cough*
Help us…or our husbands may leave us. ;)
So what are you giving away today?
We are giving away a sponsored crafter package- with a retail value of over $100. This may feature items like fabric, ribbon, wood items, burlap items {ribbon or bags}, upholstery tacks, baker’s twine, etc. [photo here includes the prize package, but does not show the 1 pound of designer fabric scraps that will also be included!]
Congrats to our winner:
MindysMinuteMarket.com is giving one lucky Dollar Store Crafts reader a special prize pack worth over $100 and filled with various craft supply goodies.
To Enter:
1) Check MindysMinuteMarket.com and comment here to tell us what you think of today’s deal or share your favorite item from the Other Items section.
Quick Rules: Residents of USA, 18 and older. Ends on Thursday 2/16/2012 at 11:59 PM. Winner will be announced here in this post on 2/17/2011.
Disclosure: This post was sponsored by Mindy’s Minute Market.

Wow, I love the idea and you never know what they will have! I almost need to do the same thing with all my craft supplies!
Chelsea
I love the vintage-style metal open/close sign! I’m a sucker for signs and typography (my jr. high art teacher predicted I would develop fonts …) I kinda want to cover it in glitter and do something with the chain, though. :)
Katy Lamb
Please enter me in Mindy’s Minute Market giveaway. I liked both the “Tying up Loose Ends” yarn for $4.00 and “Funky Ribbon Montage” for $3.25. They have a lot of good deals that I’ll be checking out.
peg
i love the whole twine and scissors holder idea.
Garnet
Those flower cabochons look like a great deal!
Kelly
For two things that I really liked… well actually more then two but, well you all understand…. cabochons and the bathroom vinyl sign.
Julie
Ribbon! Ribbon! Ribbon! I <3 ribbon!
Lora W.
Wow, such great prices! I liked the candlesticks in 3 sizes. It’s a perfect grouping.
Stephanie Evans
The string holder is a great idea.
shawn
Love the different sized candle sticks – have a craft on my “list” that calls for three diff sizes, and haven’t been able to find them locally! thanks!
Melissa
The flower cabochons are so cute. I could come up with a lot to do with them. Thanks

Megan
I like the knobs, too! I need some for towel hooks in my bathroom, don’t have enough room for a towel rack! Thanks for the great giveaway!
buggalcrafts
I love the twine dispenser! Sissors handy! It’d be nice however if they were “chained” to thetwine dispenser – as my sissors wander away from me! If I had a craft table – this would be one item that would be on it!
catherine
The ribbon
Kristy
I love it all, but the vinyl Bathroom Rules are really cute!
Suzanne
What a great site . . . the cabochons, the rick rack, the baker’s twine, the knobs. Yep, I’ll be back there for sure!
Rachel
I love those birds- they remind me of that super-funny episode of Portlandia where they “put a bird on it”- but I still love birds!
Cari
Very cute. The site is easy enough to navigate and looks great. I love the quirkiness with some of their names (ie Boot Scootin’ Cutie).
melissamo1
What a fun site! That string looks great! It always amazes me how often I need string!
Tara
My favorite item is the lace. So pretty- and so many things I could do with it!
Dahbou
I love the Twine Stand. Not only is it a great idea to keep the twine and scissors together but it looks really nice. It would be so easy and quick to just grab it off a shelf and go. I love simple yet useful products like this!
Heather Johnson
I love the push pop containers! I have never seen those before!!
Shannon
I liked a lot of the items, but my favorites were the “for the love of birds”. What a cool website!

Kimberly
Oh my gosh! I’ve only ever been able to find push pop containers in quantities of like 100 and they are sooo expensive!!! How exciting! I’m totally buying some.
Oh, and I love the wooden candlesticks and the chevron pillows and the colorful cabochons in the “other items” section. :) Great site!
KT Cowden
I love the big pack of cabochons!
Ann Winder
I love creative people, because I’m not!!

Clearly I need to make some push pops ASAP.

I am kind of hooked on Mindy Mae’s. I buy through their facebook page. I love the idea of jute ribbon and can’t wait to get my hands on it!
Jen VG
“Today’s Deal” today is the “push pops”… I never knew you could get something like that. They look so cool, and the goodies they show in them in the picture look amazing! I really need to think of something to make with those and think I have found a new craft supply site. Thanks!
Jen VG

Heather C
I am definitely a big fan of rickrack. Interesting idea!
Sharon B
the pushups are so cute – I make dolls – what fun they would be!
mrs_helm
Enter me!
Mindy’s site is so cute. I actually like that there is a limited list of deals, unlike some craft sites that carry so many items you get overwhelmed looking through them! I especially like the little assortment of drawer-pull knobs, and I would like to make a peg rack with them, they are so cute. (But, Mindy, can you put a little more in the details on items…like measurements, etc?)
Shannon R
Before I even realized this post was a giveaway, I’d clicked through and bought Today’s Deal and some twine from Other Items!
Heather dela Cruz

Do I really have to pick one thing I like???? Impossible! I love the little baggy thingeys, the sign, the candle holders. I don’t know what the little things are in the bottles, but I adore the colors! Guess I’m just a born packrat!
BethJ

Thanks for bringing this site to my attention.
I would choose the metal birds as my favorite.
I always try to add a bird element to my arrangements

aimz
I love the 3 candlesticks.
Gramodog
I can always find uses for ribbon, so that set for $7.50 is mighty tempting. If I didn’t have an insane amount already…
Heather
I love the funky ribbon montage and tying up loose ends! I’m a really big fan of using up all the little scrappy bits from other projects, so those seem like they would fit into my crafting.
Kathleen
The giveaway basket sounds great….. I hope you pick up more fellow crafters to your site…great deals!!
Laura
I love the featured owl charm! It would be so perfect to use in a bracelet for a friend whose sorority mascot is an owl! Perhaps I will have to do this for a Valentine’s Day gift. :)
julianne
i think today’s deal, the 2 owl pendants, is awesome! and not a bad price for 2 pieces!
Tamarah
I would love to win this, I thought the site was an awesome idea, but my favorite item was the chalkboard paint kit. It’s very hard for me to find the supplies for that around here.

Janet
Can not enter the giveaway, I am posting from IPad and Apple does not allow flash. Lots of goodies I could put to use. Crochet around candle holders after finished with paint, to many ideas to put down. Someone will get a great gift.

Michelle
LOVE this! What a fun site with tons of goodies that I’d love like the burlap bags and twine!
Marian
I love the little owl pendant-my sister would flip out over it! I’m also digging the chalkboard paint idea (with the grout) for $2.50. I finally have a craft space and I think I want to add some chalkboard paint on one wall for decoration! Please add me to the contest!!!
Cindy
What a great idea. I like the bathroom rules/get naked signs.
Noel
Todays deal is the Roarin Wrap. While I am not a fan, there are some other great items and I love that you can buy smaller quantities (ie. the twine).
Annika
I really like the cabochons. I have no idea what they are, but they look cool and they would be fun to use for embellishing decor around the house and especially for my little girl’s room.
