I have been here many times in the past year. The store is divided into 3 sections/areas (arts and…read morecrafts, equipment (like drawing tools, different kinds of paper and paint) and framing). The people working there are very nice. It's appearance on the inside can give a little bit of sensory overload (in terms of the colors in different areas in the store). However, they carry varying amounts of supplies so you might have to go online to buy them if items are not available in store. BTW 1) They have a point card where you could get 10% off each time you purchase something and collect the amount you paid (ex. Pay $15 = 15 points). 2) When you are shopping online, you will get free shipping if you buy things that add up to $39 or more.

My absolute favourite art supplies store of all time. First of all, the staff are amazing. They've…read morebeen consistently helpful and friendly since I started going there in 2002. Obviously a change in staff, but the manager has been around for a long time and a couple staff members had stayed and have been amazing and funny! Seriously, I used to just hang out here as a kid because it's an art store, I'm an artist and the staff is great. It's a very clean store. They always have what I need and things I didn't know I needed. The prices are far superior to Michael's and better than Curry's. Plus the discounts are great and the rewards program is solid too. Oh and did I mention it's animal friendly? I can take my dog for walks in Petsmart and Deserres, Oh and also the customer bathroom is pretty cool. And free bags, who needs to pay a nickel for a bag? All in all, it's a great store. One of my favourite hangout spots, I can test my markers and pencils and all that and talk to awesome staff.

I can see store like Write Impressions disappearing slowly and it is just a shame…read more In this modern digital age, people are sending emails, messages and texting their love ones. It is even not as often that we write each other a letter or a love note? Write Impressions does carry all the cards, stationary and paper needs if you do decide to send your admirers a note or to your love ones to show them your appreciation. Or you want to start keeping a Journal for a special period of your life? I found it so much personal to write that down with my own handwriting than just typing it in the computer. Write Impressions is a great store for shopping for gifts for yourself and that special someone..... And thinking of that, I need a journal for my YELP adventure!

A few years ago I purchased paper from them for my wedding invitations, as opposed to having them…read morehandle the design. I found their customer service lacking. On more than one occasion I felt as if I was inconveniencing them. They only seemed to care about their design customers, while I was just a nuisance buying only paper stock. One thing that also bothered me. After spending hundreds of dollars on paper (over multiple visits), they repeatedly refused to give me any break on the price of the stock. I don't know what their margins on the paper were, but this was something that bothered me.

On the inside of the folder there was a place to put the Bride and Groom's name, the wedding date, and a personal message. Due to the shiny surface on the cardboard, traditional calligraphy was not an option - it would have had a risk of chipping off. Instead, our wording was hand done with a ball point pen, which looks terrific. I am sure that Jenn and Chris will treasure this keepsake for many, many years to come!
