I am a "fan" of Pick Your Plum on facebook. They have daily deals on craft supplies. When they sell vinyl, it is like $1.25 for a 9x24 sheet. I order quite a bit whenever they offer it.
Hobby Lobby is my other store of choice, but only with a 40% off coupon in tow.
Me too.

After keeping an eye on that thread, expressions vinyl is still cheaper, by 10 cents for a 12x24 sheet. Not a huge difference, but every little bit helps. craft vinyl does price match, but what's the point when expressions vinyl is cheaper? I placed the same order on expressions and craft, and here's the breakdown:
www.expressionsvinyl.com - 5 sheets of 12x24 vinyl, $9.45 for vinyl, $6.00 for shipping, = $15.45
www.craftvinyl.com - 5 sheets of 12x24 vinyl, $9.95 for vinyl, $5.95 for shipping = $15.90
You could get craftvinyl.com to price match and save your 5 cents for shipping, but that's a lot of work for just 5 cents cheaper shipping. The only way I'd see this being worth it is if craftvinyl is carrying a color that expressionsvinyl doesn't, which is possible because craft vinyl boasts 56 colors, while expressions vinyl has 37.
Anyways, there's a good breakdown for all you vinyl crafters.
are these repositionable? i would like to make some sayings for on the wall but don't want to tear apart the wall when i move them or if I make a mistake.
thanks
depending on how much you need any of the above are great (craftvinyl or BLOCKED EXPRESSION and i've also had excellent experiences with the following:

is it easier to work with sheets or larger rolls? maybe it doesn't matter to much?
It really just depends on how much of that color you'll use. I have just a couple rolls of vinyl in black, white, and a blue that I love, but the rest is just sheets. Also, its going to depend on the size of your project, if you want to do a larger project, you'll obviously want to use a roll of vinyl.
