From the very beginning, we were offered help and guidance. We've never done anything like this before and admittedly a little skeptical that we'd all have a good time and the ability to do this. This was so much fun to do for all of us, from the beginning to the end. Oh, and I forgot to mention.....no appointment was necessary. Just walk in and have a memory making experience.

Selection is very poor and overpriced, but that pretty much goes for almost all brick and mortar…read morecrafting stores today in the age of Amazon and Etsy. The location would have merely walked away with the three star stamp of mediocrity for that. What particularly put me off was the door greeter/staff-member-who-was-otherwise-messing-around-in-the-cart-corral-by-the-door. I walked in, was said "hello" to very stonily which I otherwise ignored because I don't expect anyone in that job to be in a very good mood, then I walk almost halfway down the length of the store as I look around, getting a feel for the layout as I had never been in here before. Then I hear this idiot SHOUT (because I am again quite a ways away from the door at this point), "Can I help you find anything?" In other words, the dreaded, "Are you going to steal something because you aren't white?" One might generously detract that maybe he decided to scream because I looked lost, but his unfriendly manner throughout the exchange and the fact that I did not see (or more pertinently hear) him accost anyone else who entered in such a gross fashion leads me to believe it probably wasn't. So for that, one star and the recommendation you not support this decrepit outlet.
