    Adding to my KISS Hello Kitty ceramic collection with this trinket box ($28)
    Violet P.

    This was my third visit to a Color Me Mine and it's always a fun time! I purchased a Groupon worth $30 for 2 people and my friend who came with me had never been. I went in a few days earlier and the staff person working encouraged me to take photos so I could show my friend what pieces we could paint from. We went on a Wednesday evening and there was one couple painting. There's so many cool ceramics to choose to paint. I wasn't sure if I wanted to paint a Snoopy and Woodstock mug or a Hello Kitty trinket box. I decided on the Hello Kitty ($28) and to paint it Starchild (KISS) to go along with my Demon HK I painted last time. My friend picked out a heart shaped bowl ($35). Because I was familiar with the process, the staff didn't provide much instruction. My friend was nervous but I asked for some books so she could get ideas on how to paint her bowl. The bottles were neatly organized by numbers and the wall showed the colours according to the paint number. A few colours were pretty popular and shared amongst the painters. There were 2 more couples that showed up to paint too. We painted for close to 2.5 hours. There are stencils and small bottles with fine tips which are great for decorating and writing. There are 3-4 different sizes of brushes and staff are good with changing the water. My friend really enjoyed it and I did as well. I love relaxing and painting while creating something for home that is unique. It was no problem paying with Groupon and gift card. The price includes everything and I got a call 2 days later to let me know the pieces were glazed and ready for pick up. They offer special events for kids and adults and I believe discounts for mall staff and military. This is a great place for kids' parties, date night, or fun with friends!

    Got to attend a Mommy Connection event hosted by Color Me Mine, located in Phase 2- across Galaxyland. Small activity area in the front, set up by staff with a lot of pottery to choose from. Baby safe paint and a party area in the back. Website is organized and you can have fun with your creative ability and just hang out with friends, family or whomever you choose to take. They can Host a slew of events - just have to call and book. Pick your pottery and they provide the paint. Decorate and your final craft will be ready for pick up in a few days. Staff were very nice and organized and deals happen every so often.

    I've been here a couple times and have enjoyed it each time. It's always busy on the weekends so if…read moreyou're a bigger party make reservations! The staff are friendly and helpful. I do wish they offered payment options outside of cash & e-transfer so keep this in mind when you go. There's also a parking garage about a block away. Overall it's a fun time

    My experience started by being shown where my assigned seating was. Next, I went to the shelf where…read morethere was a pretty decent selection of ceramic trees to choose from. I had prepaid via Eventbrite for a $50 tree. When I saw a bigger and fancier tree, I chose to upgrade to the $100 tree. I just had to pay the price difference. After this, I received a brief explanation of a couple of paint options I had to choose from and then I started painting! This wasn't set up like one large ceramic painting class. People came and went at different times. Each group that came in would get separate instructions by the staff members. This worked out because painting times definitely varied. I honestly underestimated how long it would take to paint a ceramic tree. I think I must've painted a total of 6 coats of paint. It's partly because of the paint option I chose. I required a base coat to ensure my tree would come out shiny dark green. It took me about about 3 hours to paint! I wanted to make sure all the crevices of my tree were covered. I did this activity after work on a Wednesday night. It was a fun way to unwind and chat with my friend. However, in the future, I would prefer to do this on a weekend instead. I finished painting right before the store closed around 9pm. It would've been more relaxing if I knew I didn't have to work the next day. Once I was finished, I painted my initials under the tree. I was told it would take about a week for my tree to be ready for pick up. When I was reunited with my tree, I was super happy with the result! The wiring for the light bulb was inserted. Light bulb not included. I also received a bag of multicoloured mini plastic bulbs and a plastic star topper to decorate my tree. Overall, I had a good time here! I would definitely consider coming back to paint something else. The staff were helpful and the products are good quality. I know I could've easily bought a ceramic tree instead of painting one. It might have been less expensive and definitely easier to just buy a finished tree. However, I'm proud to say that I painted my tree!

    I enjoy going to this every year... it feels like admission cost is rising but at least the price…read moreis valid for all 4 days rather than day of and next day only. There's also no scratch n win promotion cards for next season like previous shows. It's very warm in there, so expect to use $2 coat check. Your admission ticket also equals one ballot for their prize draw. There are draws for free admission pre-event on their Facebook page. If you're really keen, they have links that showcase the vendors this season. Vendors offer a large variety of unique crafts, some are similar to each other though. Prices and deals vary depending on the vendors; but keep in mind that unique tends to be more expensive than big box stores. It's mostly the same vendors as previous years, so it's easy to shop if you know what you want... or if you had regretted not buying something from this year, you'll probably get a second chance with the next year's craft sale. It easily gets crowded despite the decent amount of spaces between booths. If you can avoid using a stroller, you'll be able to get around more freely for sure. That being said, the butterdome is wheelchair & stroller accessible, which I appreciate. I also like how most of the food vendors are along the same area. There's always a bunch of samples to be had & popular items to pick up are wild dried mushrooms, butter tarts, bread, and maple products; just to name a few.

    I rarely buy anything at the Butterdome Christmas Craft Sale - not that there isn't a million…read morethings to buy (I gal could spend a fortune!) no, for me I just love strolling the isles, with my Mom, Sister-in-law and Aunt, spending time together and getting in the Christmas Spirit. For me, the Butterdome Christmas Craft Sale is a tradition, and I love it! I love meeting the busy vendors, seeing the new or "it" products side-by-side with classics like hand carved wooden toys or home-made fudge. I love the hustle and bustle of people doing their Christmas shopping in one big go, and trying to find my yearly must-gets! The Craft Fair is usually the last week in November or first week in December, so keep it in mind to add to your list of holiday events. Make sure to bring cash!! That's a must. Parking can be tough, the SUB parkade is the best bet, but you can take the LRT! And wear your comfy winter boots, it's a lot of walking! Happy Crafty Holidays!
