Martina was so…read moreaccommodating & easy to work with, the kids had a great time, & the experience left all of us (the kids & many of the parents) wanting to try our hand at even more crafts. We opted to have the kids do Wool Painting, which was tons of fun, but walking around the My Creative Outlet store & the "craftiness" building/party room (a few doors down), we were able to see various other craft ideas that would be fun to explore at some point. Even many of their room decorations are handmade! If you haven't checked out My Creative Outlet, I highly recommend you do. Whether you buy an item from their store, take a class, host a party, or simply browse their store, the creative possibilities they offer are endless! Below are some pictures of the Wool Paintings the girls did at our party. We did Stitch theme, so Martina had the kids do a Stitch inspired Wool Painting. Unfortunately, between crafting, chatting, & cake, they ran out of time. Martina (& Jenny) were so sweet & actually sent each of the kids home with the necessary materials to finish it on their own.

I highly recommend Sharon and her business to anyone who's looking for unique gifts that your recipients will surely enjoy and hopefully they'll invite you :) You can never go wrong with liquid gifts!

Very cute niche gift items available but they do tend to be on the slightly pricier side. Several types of stationery items available, and gift wrapping is an option too. They charge a $8 gift wrapping fee and you're charged for your selected ribbon and gift wrap. While it was expensive to get the gift wrap, I honestly didn't mind it since it was sooo cute. I would consider doing this again for specialty gifts but if I had more time I would have just wrapped it myself. Staff is always very friendly upon entry, very welcoming and they try to help if you're looking for something specific.

There's also lots of antique shops in the area, including a farmers market on Saturdays so it's a great weekend activity with lots of things to do!

In addition to finding great items as gifts, they offer large discounts during holidays on the designer items, which is great!

You really have to see it because you can't judge it from the street. There are community classes and activities. Follow their IG and FB pages then go to their website to view a calendar. You can go to the Just Vibes grab a custom coffee and then walk the grounds and speak with the staff about what they offer there as far as trees and plants. They also have beehives and in their gift shop they have every variety of honey you can think of as well as lovely gift items from books to body care to jewelry to honey.

So I'll come back on Saturday morning to do that. I also decided to walk around the store since I also had to use the bathroom. The bathroom is toward the back of the store but it was closed for whatever reason. I saw that this Michael store now has a self checkout station, they didn't have that before.
