Easy communication scheduling our event and Our facilitators were engaging and fun and had a tough job trying to keep us in line. We brought our own drinks and some took advantage of the suits to rent to protect their clothes. The actual mixing of paint and splattering was entertaining as we had the music going and drinks flowing too. The splatter team took photos and videos for us of the whole event, but did use one of our phones so make sure you have a charged battery! Our canvas was delivered a week later and looks great!

Upcycle Arts is basically an arts & craft thrift store. You can find all types of cool stuff here…read morefor scrapbooking, sewing, knitting, painting and so much more. I like coming here when I have an idea of what I'm needing or wanting otherwise you could easily spend the whole day here. Prices are also very reasonable! It's located in a strip mall next to Book Buyers and some other shops. There's plenty of parking out front. You can also donate your used or unwanted art supplies too. They have a list of things they accept on their website.

The workers were super helpful explaining everything and bringing us our paints. It's takes 10-12 days for the art to be ready to pick up so keep that in mind in your planning. They had plenty of holiday and seasonal options in case you're looking for a special gift for a Mother's Day or Father's Day gift/activity. The pottery prices we 20$ and up but they didn't charge studio time by the hour like I've seen other places do, which is great if you have smaller kids. Great activity!

After purchasing a Christmas cookie event as a birthday gift for my sister a few months ago. I was…read moreexcited to do one with my husband. I booked the Conversation Heart Cookie, aka "Creator's" conversation heart cookie class lol, which was emphasized at the beginning and twice during the class. The class came with 6 cookies to decorate and a beverage from the Hopfly Brewery. Laura and the ladies taught us how to put filler as a background on the cookie and other neat little tricks to do. The icing was really tasty and went well with my mango passion fruit cheesecake blender drink. I think the class and brewery was a good idea. But, I honestly did not like the fact that I paid $60 for this event that was diluted by the highlight of "The Creator's " being on set for free with a guest. I think there should have been a separate private class for them vs the way it was done. I get this is the New way to spread the word about your business. But it should not out shadow your paying guest. Being mindful is big in my book.

Yes, Charlotte's own haunted house is terribly cheesy, but isn't Halloween supposed to be cheesy? I…read morehad a lot of fun checking out the silly ghouls and the bad makeup. It's half-haunted house and half-mini golf, which is kind of a bizarre combination, but it makes for a great night out. If the silliness of the haunting gets to be too much for you, you can hone in on your game. I found out, also, that they will adjust the level of the "horror" if you have kids with you, which is kind of nice. Let the folks at the front door know if your kids are a little sensitive, and they'll tone it town (keep the beasties from jumping out at you). It's a good night out for the haunting season, and it's a great way to pass a couple of hours.

The store is clean and organized in a way that is easy to navigate. All beads were clearly labeled with price. They had almost any color, or material you would want in beads. They also had sections of charms and pendants. You could really make anything- necklaces, earrings, bracelets, even keychains! There is a lot to choose from, I was a little overwhelmed at first but the staff is AMAZING. They were very well staffed and were very willing to help. There were already made pieces around the store, or they were able to look at inspo pictures and find beads/pieces that matched. Once you pick out your pieces, they give you a board to lay it out, and string to bead it on, then they take care of putting the clasp on and finishing it. They have tall tables to work at so you can stand while you work, or sit in a stool. You can drop in anytime they are open, but they are only open until 4:00 during the week. We scheduled a private party which they do after hours, is $20 a person not including jewelry, and you need a minimum of 8 people. We also brought our own drinks and snacks. As far as pricing, everything is very clearly labeled, then it was an addition $5 to put the chain and clasp on. My necklace was $40 total and most pieces made by our group ranged from $30-$60 for the most part. I will definitely be back!!

I do think some items are very expensive for what they are. I love the option now for self check out. I think there could be better signage for this as often people are still waiting in line and don't seem to realize you can walk right up. I have to give a big shout out to Jennifer who was exceptional after the balloons I dropped off to get filled up somehow got lost. I was definitely disappointed as I bought specific ones for a theme party, but she called the morning of I was suppose to pick them up and truly was so apologetic and tried to make it right.
