This experience was disappointing enough that I felt compelled to share it…read more On a Saturday evening around 6:50 p.m., I stopped by Hobby Lobby with my 4-year-old daughter and my elderly mother-in-law. We were preparing for an upcoming funeral, and I needed help with an expensive gold frame I had purchased from Hobby Lobby. One of the corners had separated, and I wanted to know whether the framing department could repair or reinforce it. Because the frame was large and heavy, I left it in my trunk until I confirmed that someone could help. My mother-in-law waited nearby so she could rest while my daughter accompanied me to the framing counter. I approached the employee working in the framing department and asked if he could assist me. His first response was, "I'm off in six minutes - what do you need?" The tone immediately caught me off guard. As I began explaining that the corner of the frame had broken apart and needed reinforcement, he interrupted me and said, "Stop. Just hurry up and tell me what you need." I was surprised because I was simply trying to explain the issue so he could determine whether it was something the framing department could fix. I told him the frame was needed for a funeral and asked if it could be repaired. Instead of addressing my question, he asked why my husband couldn't fix it. I explained that my husband is currently deployed, so he wasn't available to help, and that while I would try to repair it myself if necessary, I also work full-time. His response was simply, "So do I." At that point, it was clear that helping me was not a priority. What made the interaction even more upsetting was that my 4-year-old daughter asked afterward, "Mommy, why was that man so mean? Why didn't he want to help us?" Hearing that from my child was heartbreaking. I told her that maybe he was having a difficult day because I wanted her to understand that we should still try to show kindness to others. I shared my experience with the manager, who told me that this employee often tells others how important it is to be friendly with customers. Unfortunately, that was not reflected in the interaction we experienced. Thankfully, we went to Ace Hardware afterward, where an employee immediately took the time to help us. He recommended reinforcing the frame with small metal corner brackets, nails, and gold spray paint. His advice worked perfectly, and we were able to save the frame in time for the funeral. This review isn't about expecting perfection. Everyone has stressful days. It's about the importance of treating people with basic courtesy and respect, especially when they may already be going through a difficult time. A little kindness can make all the difference. Unfortunately, that was missing from our experience at Hobby Lobby.

First off I walked in there feeling inspired already because of all the different materials to choose from. They got beading, fabric, cute paper for scrapbooking, wood work and etc. They got refurbished sewing machines for sale as well. Also, if you have any questions the ladies are pretty helpful.

I truly hope they stay in business for a very long time because so many fabric stores have closed, including Joann's. It's becoming harder and harder to find sewing supplies, especially patterns. Many patterns have to be ordered online, and that can take a while to arrive. Sometimes you want to start a project right away, so waiting for a pattern can be a real bummer. Having a store like this is such a blessing, and I hope it will be around for many years to come.

This studio is filled with great instructors and students. It's always kept clean and organized…read more There are many options for glazing, and different options of clay that are held at the studio for purchase. I appreciate this place being more of a class setting than those one-time activities for date night or to hang with friends, because ceramics takes awhile to get a good handle on. Plus there is a process of the bisque and glaze fire which cannot be done in a day. My recommendation is to take the 8-week class and show up to every class. At the end of the course, I'm sure you will have a better understanding of pottery.

Thank you for being super responsive and delightful to be around. Overall, everyone at the studio is amazing, and i love the welcoming atmosphere!!

The staff person…read moregreeted us and asked if we had been there before which we told her no - she explained the process and told us we could pick our item and she would help set up. it took her a minute to help us get "set up" but really it was just her explaining how the glazing worked and where the paint and supplies were. I picked an item that was around 20 bucks and it was actually pretty fun. The paint they use dries fast so its easy to use multiple coats. I was able of finish a small project in 20 minutes or so. The staff stayed a bit late to help us finish and we didn't feel rushed. We were able to bring home the second not yet finished item for next time. There is a nomimal fee if you dont finish and need to come back later. Otherwise they fire up your project and you caome back in a week to retrieve it. Looking around I kept thinking how cute it would be to bring my kids or girl friends back here and would love to work on another project. The prices for the actual items were a better price than I anticipated as well!

The store has a huge selection of paper reams and envelopes of colors and types. I usually try to look for certain types of paper for my projects and writing. I asked a staff member at the front, who just pointed to the aisles I can look. He said everything I needed I would find. I honestly was quite overwhelmed and getting quite anxious, as I have already spent much time looking. I did end up finding nice writing paper. Pricy but good value. When rung up I was told there were other cheaper alternatives, but by then I wanted to leave. I at least know where good writing paper is, but the other types I will continue to purchase online.

Although stationary boulders was my request silly me Kelly paper is what they specialize in. I could've walked out knowing they could not service my needs, but they were so kind. I looked around and purchased reams of paper. I knew I would need in the future. After purchasing three reams of paper a box of envelopes at a well delightful price. I went on my merry way. Knowing that this was quite a holiday, they even assisted me to my car, which I thought was very professional and nice. The prices at Kelly are extremely competitive when you go to an ordinary stationary store. So Pop by this huge warehouse and take a look. You won't be wasting your time. Thank you, Kelly paper and associates.
