“Came in on Friday, July 26th around 11:30 am and was greeted by who I believe to be the store manager. She was very welcoming and inviting. One of the staff Phyllis was also really wonderful and helpful! I was short with time and Aiden helped me laminate everything I needed to laminate. They were both delightful and super helpful! I enjoy coming here!”
“Today reminded me how much kindness matters. My 8-year-old loves art, and we signed up for a challenging 3-hour class that pushed her outside her comfort zone. She had a moment where she felt overwhelmed and anxious, and we stepped outside for a little break.
What stood out was the quiet compassion in the room. The instructor, Lainey, and the small group around us didn't stare, comment, or make it a big deal. They simply gave her the space she needed and welcomed her back quietly when she was ready.
She returned, kept trying, and finished most of her project (final touches were completed at home). I was so proud of her perseverance, and so grateful for Lainey's patience, encouragement, and genuine kindness throughout the class.
Not every victory is about finishing perfectly. Sometimes it's about taking a breath, coming back, and trying again. Thank you, Lainey, for creating a space where kids can feel safe to do that. She has already asked me when she can come back again, and I think that says everything. ❤🎨”
