So, up until Saturday I had never, ever bought any Prima flowers... yes, sad...I know!

I got an awesome 25% entire purchase coupon for Michaels... and I walked out with THREE jars of flowers :blink: ... they were all so gorgeous I just wanted them ALL!!! And I just got a 50% off coupon, so I'm going back today to buy more! LOL!

Ummmm... this is not good. :p

LOL, I honestly don't get the thing with Prima flowers. I do have some - I went on etsy and got a few lots (for super cheap, too) just to have some variety. Honestly I like the Bazzill Wings better. :)

Ohhh they can be addicting, I used to have a TONNN but then when I sold off most of my paper scrap goodies they went too since I hardly used them, one jar goes a long way!

I know, but I wanted all the pretty colors! hahaha

Maybe I should've bought some mixed lots online too... lol... oh well! :)

It's not physically possible for me to walk into Michael's with a coupon, and NOT walk out with Primas. I heart Primas.

I just got a coupon too and am going tomorrow at lunch to see if our Michaels carries the Primas.

You know you can always offer up a Prima share, I'm sure that some ladies would take you up on your offer. I've seen it done on other boards and it's always a big hit since those jars have SO many little flowers in them!

THAT is a FABULOUS IDEA!!! There is no way I could use all of the flowers in each jar! Who's up for a swap? :)

Prima makes really beautiful paper and fabric flowers for scrapbookers (or hybriders! ;)).... They sell them online or at some craft stores. They just started selling them at my Michaels in the last few months.

I have one little jar of Primas. Very hard to decide what colors to get.
But what is the diff btwn Primas and other flowers? They all look the same to me.

I went to Michaels tonight, to take advantage of the cardstock sale, and to buy a pile of scrapbook inserts for my scrapbooks - I had my 50% off coupon in hand... they only had *ONE* jar of prima's left! And it was bright orange with polkadots I think... not so interested. I wish they sold more mixed jars. No, I have never bought primas myself either, I cut my own flowers out of paper. Not as pretty, but much cheaper!

i've never bought them either. i don't think i've even seen them, lol. all i have here is a JoAnn's and a Hobby Lobby. and i don't think they carry them. I miss Michaels; i used to live near one and now i'm not sure where the closest one is.

I too "HEART" Primas and have a ton but still buy them every time I see them! I did get a bunch of Etsy since I know I'll never use every one of the ones I have in the jars (there are a ton in a jar) and it's such a bargain to get them that way. BUT I do love how the jars look on the shelf in my scraproom so I get suckered in every time! LOL!
