She is SO good with the littles and makes them feel so talented and special. And she's so encouraging and funny with older kids and adults. Her puppets are high quality and amazingly well designed. Her puppeteering is wonderful, funny, and overflowing with her talent. I cannot recommend puppet pie enough for gifts, parties, or workshops enough.

Everyone loved it, and got to take home a souvenir from the party. Something more than a goodie bag.:-) She works with the hosts on the actual number of kid attendees, brought extras, and did not charge for the ones that were not made and returned to her. She also actually fixed an error on the payment portal that saved me $$, If you live out in the Surprise/ Grand Ave area, she also has an ice cream truck. Highly recommend her!

The girls kept looking at even the miniature toilet paper in one of the doll houses. The woman who runs this museum was very welcoming and answered all our questions as well as informing us of the dolls' histories. Definitely worth walking through. And there are a few dolls and clothes for sale too to add to a collection.

They have a rewards program and run some really spectacular deals. They offer a date night during the month as well and think it would be a lot of fun to take my husband to in the near future. What I love about this place is that you can choose your own project. We all have different tastes and interests and it is fun to be able to have the choice to make something that fits your particular wants and needs. I look forward to going back!

Experience: I stumbled upon Board and Brush Avondale thanks to my mom, and I couldn't be more grateful for her find! The owner is an absolute sweetheart, guiding us through the entire creative process. Choosing our own projects and the option to bring snacks and drinks made the experience even better. The atmosphere was lively and fun, and I was thrilled with how my project turned out.

Initially, I was impressed with the design of the papers offered, which prompted me to enroll in…read morethe workshop. However, the experience proved to be challenging. I received a minimum of fifteen emails and spent approximately fifteen minutes on the phone troubleshooting an issue, during which I was asked to participate in a second call. The difficulty in being added to the class was due to a technical problem on the instructional side, not my own. I requested tracking information for the course materials, which were not provided; moreover, the materials arrived after the start date. The workshop did not occur on the scheduled weekend despite my leaving work early to participate. Despite having paid for the course, I encountered these issues, and similar content is available free of charge on YouTube.

It's an incredibly supportive, intentional, and inspiring place to learn. Highly recommend.

I've done 3 different classes so far and they were all packed with information, helpful tips, and real world acting advice that is beneficial for both working actors and non-actors.

A special thanks to the Improv Instructor Navaris, so is fun, witty, and talented. I had no idea I would learn so much about improv in 6 weeks. Looking forward to my next class!
