Just sad again a Christian company so anito family and really grandstanding on Christian values.

I would still go here before going to Micheal's since they typically beat their prices. Very disappointed that they greatly reduced the availability of Christian greeting cards. I guess selling Nic Nacs was more profitable, so something had to be scaled back?

My experience with Amanda was less than satisfying…read more The amount of emails "confirming" date, time & amount of people who would be attending was a total turn off. Might I suggest a deposit when booking and a "no show" or "cancellation" fee if there is a last minute cancellation? Upon arrival Amanda was level 10 stress. I don't think she was breathing at all during set up. I had a confirmed 15 people to paint & GREAT set up in a garage for my party. Amanda didn't like the idea of someone having their back to her during presentation so she tried to get rid of my 15th spot. No worries though, she wanted me to PAY for 15 but only wanted to allow me to set up for 14. She must have forgotten that she was at MY house & I was a paying customer also, this made her joke about "this was her only job so thanks for paying rent" incredibly awkward. Amanda is very dry which comes off rude. Don't expect a smile or a warm fuzzy feeling from her - it's not going to happen. Also don't you dare talk while painting or you'll get "All eyes on me" as if you were a 1st grader. I was embarrassed by my choice of entertainment for my evening. Paint and wine should be fun. It's hard to have fun when you feel as if you're being scolded for any move you make that amanda didn't like. I'm rating a 3 because we did do a painting and what she came to do did get accomplished. I would also like to add - if you have a great attitude, were little more flexible & had your customers pay at the end of the evening.... you might get a cash tip instead of a written online review

Another person posted a review said she "felt like she was in kindergarten". That is a good way to describe our evening. We were told over and over how to behave. IN NO WAY WERE WE OUT OF LINE WITH OUR BEHAVIOR. We were 14 women there just to have fun. She gave great instructions on the painting technique and came well prepared. It's too bad that she didn't lighten up and enjoy herself. My rating would have been a lot higher.

This is my 3rd time here at the Hiawatha location and every time I leave I always have another project in mind for the next time. This time around I went with all the momma's in my fam for a ladies' night! I gave them each a gift card for Mother's Day and none of them except for my mom had been there before. We were all at the same table and got to help each other with our projects and we all left planning another class together to make some Christmas decor! Such a fun group activity! The inventory is always being added to. There's a HUGE variety to choose from and they have lots of seasonal things to create as well! We'll be back, again and again and again!

These are interactive ornaments that when plugged in to the special cord will sing a song and have dialogue. When we gave them to her Jack did not work properly as the speaker was extremely distorted. Amy's did take the return of Jack but could not Replace him as they were sold out. (These seem to be very popular items). So we still had Sally and she would sing her song, but we were missing the interactive exchange. Fast forward to this year. We purchased Jack, to replace the one from last year, and Oggie Boogie. We plugged in Jack and he immediately greeted us with a "Merry Christmas". Plugged in Sally to listen to them sing together, and nothing. This was a little frustrating. I did contact Hallmark through chat and they would not help me out and suggested I call the store. I did call Amy's Hallmark on Collins Road. The person I spoke with was very pleasant and did not have an immediate answer but listened to the situation and asked for me to call back the next business day to speak with the manager. When I called back the next day the same employee answered the phone and remembered the conversation and had already briefed her manager. They did try to troubleshoot over the phone and asked if I would be willing to bring all the ornaments and the cord into the store so they could see exactly what was happening. When I arrived I was assisted by the same person who had been so empathetic and patient on the phone. The had the last Sally ornament pulled aside to test with a brand new cord. We were able to get all three ornaments interacting and she sent me home with the working Sally ornament and a new cord. This was above and beyond my expectations. The employee was awesome and willing to work with me. Thank you for service minded approach and for making it a "Nightmare Before Christmas" Christmas.

Since 1993 I have purchased (and still have) three Husqvarnas from this multi-generational business, the appeal being that they are of Swiss design known for quality, durability, and innovation.

Always someone knowledgable to assist with questions about sewing machines & the latest features, long-arms, high-quality fabrics & notions, specialty threads and projects. Classes are personalized to attendees' level(s) of knowledge for making quilts, totes/bags/pouches, and an array of items for decor or function and gift-gifting, or simply learning new techniques.
