The woman helping us (I believe the owner) came across very fake and a bit rude. She would interrupt conversations my boyfriend and I were having if she overheard something, even though we weren't talking to her. It felt intrusive and awkward.
At one point my boyfriend was just standing there while I was shopping and she told him he could go stand outside if he was tired -- but it was 90° outside. That just felt unnecessarily rude.
It also felt like she was following me around the store the entire time, which made the whole shopping experience uncomfortable.
Another thing worth mentioning is the store itself felt pretty warm, like the air conditioning wasn't running very strong. Unfortunately there was also noticeable body odor when checking out, and with the warmth of the store it made that interaction pretty unpleasant.
Now as for the store itself.
It's actually a large space, but it feels small because everything is packed in and the aisles are very narrow. It's definitely a tight store to walk through.
They don't necessarily have a huge amount of inventory, but they do have a wide variety of items. If you're a scrapbooker, junk journaler, or paper crafter, you'll probably find something useful. One thing I noticed is they carry a lot of die cuts that I don't usually see in other stores.
They also carry Vegas-themed scrapbook items, including Golden Knights themed paper and supplies, which could be useful if you're documenting a Vegas trip.
I personally went looking for Toy Story paper and they didn't have it, but I did end up buying some pretty Prima paper sheets that were about $1-$2 each.
Pricing overall felt high compared to other places. For example, one of the journals she was selling for $32 is the same one I've seen on Amazon for about $19.99, and Thickers were $9.99. I understand small stores sometimes charge more, but the price difference was noticeable.
She also mentioned a mini album class for $275, which honestly surprised me and she proceeded to close it as I was thumbing through it I've been to so many scrapbooking and junk journal events in California and Nevada, so I've seen a lot of class pricing, and that felt extremely high, especially when the sample shows it's falling apart.
They do hold crops in a back room, but from what I could see the tables are extremely close together -- closer than any crop setup I've personally experienced.
Overall, the store does offer a good variety of supplies, but between the pricing and the customer service, I personally wouldn't go back unless I really needed something in a pinch.
Otherwise I'd rather just go to Michael's, Hobby Lobby, a crop vendor, or order online.
After visiting, I understand why several women I've met at crops say they usually avoid this store.
