Michael's store is a go to place for both personal projects or school assignments, and it's been a…read morereliable place overall. Since Party City closed, the local Michael's is marketing heavily on party balloons. The Michael's have a wide variety of art, craft, yarn and part supplies, which makes it easy to find what I need in one trip. The store is usually organized, and items are mostly on in stock. I like coming here for holidays decoration, as well. The staff is generally nice when I've asked questions, especially when looking for specific materials. Prices can be a little high at times, but the coupons and sales make a big difference. Recently, the store offers self checkout which is nice when you're coming in for a couple items. Overall, Michaels is a convenient and dependable for simple decorations on holidays to bring cheers to the office or classroom settings.

I recently purchased several paint by number sets for my kids. When they began painting one of the…read moresets, it was discovered that roughly half of the paint colors were completely dried solid. I went to the store to return it and was told by the manager that the item was "on clearance" and could not be returned. I explained that the item was defective and, under California law, must therefore be returnable. She was unmoved by this, so I simply gave up. I have to wonder whether the manager is ok with the idea that the store gets my money and I get nothing of value. Does this really sound like a sensible store policy? It kind of sounds like stealing to me.

There were plenty of pieces to choose from, the staff were kind and accommodating, especially when we needed refills on our paint and responding to questions along the way, the bathrooms and studio is really nice and clean, the ambiance is very relaxing. It was only two other tables there at the same time we were so it was truly a relaxing experience with a low crowd. We came back for our prices and they turned out great! Definitely a great place to come with friends or for a cute date.

The space itself is gorgeous with terrazzo tables, rattan pendant lights, and a wall of colorful glaze swatches that make it feel like a creative sanctuary. We painted ceramics together and the whole experience was way more fun than either of us expected. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive, checking in on us throughout without being intrusive. I actually slipped out mid session to grab drinks from next door and they had zero issues with us bringing them in, which was such a nice touch. And when we ended up finishing right at closing time, the team handled it with total grace and never made us feel rushed. The glaze color wall alone is worth the visit. There are so many options that it's almost overwhelming in the best way. Whether you're artistic or a complete beginner like me, you'll leave with something you're genuinely proud of. If you're looking for a unique, low key date spot with a great vibe and even better staff, Kitsch is it. We're already planning our next visit!

The instructor goes over everything on screen so you can watch before you move forward with each step. I always think its going to be hard but honestly its just so fun and who cares if your cookies turn out perfect or not. Mine never do but I am always impressed with how well I actually do. Classes are $50 per person and are worth the memories you make. Plus the cookies are SO good!

Grunderfully Delicious is always a ton of fun…read more My wife had been turned on to this place by a friend of hers and always came home with adorably decorated cookies. I had joined her awhile back and despite having difficulties of my own, I had fun and the cookies are delicious. After the first experience I have returned on numerous other occasions and do feel I have progressed a bit with my decorating skills but all in all its about the fun. The cookies are always well themed and we enjoy eating these for several days afterward. It really doesn't matter what the end product looks like as long as you have fun creating your masterpiece. As Frank on Everybody Loves Raymond would say, the stomach knows not ugly and these are delicious no matter the result. I will definitely return again soon for more of these classes and highly recommend checking them out for something different, fun and challenging

This is a smaller store, but they have a bit of every kind of art supply you need here. I found…read morethis Blick shop as I was in the neighborhood, and I'm glad I stopped in. I was greeted by the cashier and also by another staff lady while I was browsing in the aisles. The store itself is nicely organized and if you test any of their pens, pencils, or anything like that, they have a separate tray where you can place them. I'm thinking they probably do a sanitize thing with them, which is cool. I will have to stop in again sometime!

I love Color Me Mine, and this location is one of my favorites to go to! It does get really busy,…read moreso a reservation (or at least calling ahead to see if they can hold seats on the day of) is pretty much a must. The Brea location has more seating than other locations I've been to, which makes it a bit more forgiving if you try to do a walk-in. Reservations are made online and cost $5/person, which goes towards your total. From a large palette, you choose five colors. Sometimes if a friend and I want to use the same color, we'll just put it on one person's plate, which ends up giving us more color options overall! There's also a guide on each table with tips for different ceramic painting techniques. There's a cup of various styles and sizes of paintbrushes, and you can also request for a thin bottle for writing or detail-work. You get two hours to paint, but I've never felt rushed with either picking my piece or during the actual painting process. The staff here are always so attentive, courteous, and helpful, which makes the whole experience even better. I've noticed that when it gets super busy and you need a paint refill and someone hasn't come by, don't be afraid to raise your hand or walk over to someone, everyone is super friendly. They have a great selection of pottery, and you just pay the price of your piece plus the flat studio fee. The space is clean, and I love that they also offer outdoor seating. Since it's right in the middle of downtown Brea, it's fun to people watch and enjoy the vibe outside on a warm day. They'll occasionally have special events or deals too, like student nights with a discounted studio fee. With its central location in downtown Brea, it's such a perfect spot to catch up with friends, celebrate a birthday, or have a cute date!

Posh paper was a wonderful experience!…read more I came here to order invites and envelopes for my sisters baby shower. The overall process was super easy. We first discussed everything I wanted on the invites as well as I showed some samples of what direction I wanted the card to look like. A week later I was given 3 samples I could choose from which were all well thought out! A day or two later my invites & envelopes were ready for pick up. Mine were done fairly quickly since I decided to write out my addresses myself, but if you want they can put your addresses on for you. Let me say both Laura and Brittany were both professional and incredibly nice during the entire process. Also the shop itself is adorable as well as bright and inviting.I will definitely be returning for any future invitations I will need made!!

I ordered everything at the same time (hence the CC reviews). Shipping came ground to my PO in Canada in approx. 3 - 5 days as indicated for shipping. I've actually physically been to this location 2 years ago and I remembered their stock. I didn't buy or take anything back at the time due to space constraints, however, kept their information on hand as they had some embeds (wood) and miniatures for a project. This time I was looking for baking related embeds that Michael's here used to carry and only these guys still do. The price was $$$ but worth it.
