I presented three different projects for Stephanie. I dropped off yesterday afternoon with an…read moreexpectation for pick up before closing time. Each project was completed both professionally and in a timely manner. The inventory with her store was phenomenal. Both of my visits saw women sitting at the center table in conversations about their different artistry projects. The cost of each project was priceless. Stephanie is definitely an asset to the surrounding communities and those visiting from other locations. I highly recommend Bead Artistry for all your needs or services with your special projects or requests.

This store is owned by the loveliest woman and is a well curated bead shop with Preciosa and Czech…read morecrystal beads. Stephanie teaches classes and will give you help and tips if you come in and ask questions. The selection is great but I do miss some of the curated small quantity customs beads. I know crystals sell, so I don't mind, but I used to get the MOST unique beads there! The store is clean, well organised and a great place to spend an afternoon. The value is comparable to other bead shops and it's so convenient if you just need a few beads to finish a project. I will say, the crystals are pricey, but they'd be close to the same price at pretty much any bead specific store and if you're just making a pair of earrings or a bracelet you can't go wrong shopping here!

Fabric area employee and customer were talking about how they think other areas in town and the…read morepeople in those areas are g*etto and poor and full of non English speaking people. This conversation topic was extremely discourteous from both these people however very unprofessional from the employee. After about 10-15 min in line, I expressed concerns to the employee about about long wait time ( I made no comments about their inappropriate conversation). The customer decided to insert herself into the conversation. She said " this is why I don't like you people" ( I am Asian). Though I was at the store at opening at 9 am, this customer decided to try and give me the profound advice of getting to the store earlier. She stated "You should have come shopping earlier to avoid lines instead of being a B word." I don't expect a minimum wage employee to be inclined to deal with this but she could have called a manager or just offered to call for assistance. I did not feel comfortable being harassed by a repulsive, angry woman so I left. Fabric cutters were Terri Linn and Andr-a per Hobby Lobby manager. Customer service supervisor believes Terri Linn is the employee I had the most interaction with. Manager Linda states she can speak with employee but do nothing about the customer. I understand a manager only can say so much but to do NOTHING is ridiculous. If I went into Target and started harassing other customers and stating racist comments on top of calling other customers the B word, I am pretty sure someone would speak to me about it or tell me to leave if I do not calm down. Per Hobby Lobby website: "Honoring the Lord in all we do by operating the company in a manner consistent with Biblical principles. Serving our employees and their families by establishing a work environment and company policies that build character, strengthen individuals, and nurture families." Hobby Lobby on Blackstone certainly does not adhere to these values. Some of the employees really need more education on basic culture studies. It's not hard, do your job, be professional and for the customer, mind your own business. She seemed to have a lot of struggles physically and mentally so pick a struggle and work on it.

I do enjoy…read moredecorating the house for holidays and this is a great place to come for your indoor decor needs. Also, if I'm hosting people at my house, I'll come here to get things I need. I even enjoy the baking aisle because I do get in my baking moods! I'll buy pretty sprinkles and cupcake liners and cake accessories here. Even though this place gets super busy, I always find a parking spot quickly and it's very easy to navigate the aisles, it does not feel claustrophobic or too narrow. Lots of floor staff so if any questions arise, you're taken care of. They have amazing sales as well especially in between transitioning seasons. It's a very relaxing environment with soft music playing. They have a fabric area which is pretty vast and they have a lot of items here your crafts and project needs. It's always a treat to come here. But beware, you might fill up your cart with things that you don't necessarily need so, yes will power is of the essence here!

My family got here when we they opened. Conner explained how to clean the item and how many coats of paint to put on the item so it stands out. He was attentive and very kind. Was willing to refill all our paint in our trays multiple times and never had a disgruntled attitude. He was the best helper we have ever had. He was fantastic at helping other adults and children around us as well. Was a experience to remember. I recommend this for 3 years old and up, just understand that it could take you 45 minutes or you could be like me and take 3 hours.

I took one start away because I feel like as a paint store they should offer aprons so your clothes won't get paint on them and should offer some sort of paper or pencil to sketch.

I loved that we could bring our own food and drinks at no extra cost, and the space was already decorated but still allowed us to add our own touches. It felt creative, relaxed, and fun for everyone and we did it all on a tight budget! Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a unique and memorable birthday spot for kids or preteens who love crafting! Also, the hostess, was super sweet and very helpful. They even cleaned everything up. 10/10

I have to take my husband with me because I could overspend here and get lost. My husband is a big fan of this store too but not as much as me. They have so many things I want and have to buy! I love redecorating my house from time to time. Especially with the different holidays throughout the year. I like to go with the theme of the holidays. I've found a lot of craft stuff as well. My daughter usually has projects she has to do for her class and majority of the time we can find everything we need for her. If you go to their website, you can always find at least a 40% off coupon for one single item that's regular price. So really, their products aren't expensive especially if you use a coupon. Staff are ok in customer service. They aren't that friendly and aren't that helpful. They are just there to stock shelves and check you out when you are ready to check out. I find that the way the staff acts at this location acts the same at the other location I've visited. It's really disappointing for me.

With a studio space right on Fulton, it can be easy to miss when walking by. However, once inside, it's a very roomy space!

Christine also has yoga classes on certain days with payment options that best suit your budget (and I think there's a monthly option as well). There are a few chairs and a couch for lounging, and the staff member that I talked to was super sweet! Definitely a great hangout area or even just for a quick stop by to check everything out!
