My Dad has been coming to this place for I don't even know how long! Professor Carter writes poetry and publishes book of it and this has been his go to spot for the longest for lamination and binding needs. In 2007ish, my mom and I were responsible for leading a women's Bible Study group at my church. We read a book entirely focused on love and how the only way to love the way the lovely 1 Corinthians love verses describe, we can ONLY truly love with Christ as our center. My mom, being the bad and boughie and incredibly wonderful person she is thought we should end with a little gift for each lady. I, being the scrap booker I used to be and having a name that is NEVER included on personalized gift shop keychains, decided to make personalized bookmarks for our group. This began my relationship with this fabulous small business after asking my father where he frequented. I needed my bookmarks laminated with holes punched in the top for ribbons to be inserted. I took my designs to Ms. Cindie here... I don't know what her title is but she da bomb! So sweet! So thoughtful! So personable! The greatest presence to be around! She explained the three lamination thickness options, verified exactly where I wanted the hole, asked if I wanted lamination left around the paper as opposed to a flushed, round-cornered option, and told me she wasn't sure if all of my textured paper would laminate after inspecting my stack. She asked how my father was doing and told me my order would be done the same day before before offering to leave the finished products in the bin outside of the door for after hours pickup. Ummm... yeah! Several years later, this is still my go-to for paper finishing needs. I really don't know what all they do here but they have come though SO many times with my last minute arts and crafts endeavors! Ms. Cindie still makes me feel warm inside with each interaction. There's a blue-eyed gentleman who always remembers I am King's daughters and knows how I like my bookmarks. And there's a more mature blue-eyed gent who exclaims "bookmarks!" any time I come in. I can't lie... you should park across Madison when visiting this place, but I park in the adjoined lot in a spot I'm not supposed to for my quick run-ins. I know this isn't the most helpful review, but if you get anything out of it, try them! Give them a call to see how they can hook up your paper projects! 2018 Challenge - 13 of 100
