I love the Studio Art School! Super cute place in downtown McHenry…read more A bunch of girlfriends and I did the paint class on Friday night -- it is $30 if you go by yourself, but if you bring a friend (or multiple) its $25 per person -- huge steal compared to places in the city. Reservations are required and on the website they show you what painting they do each Friday. BYOB, adults only class, and all supplies for painting are provided. You can also have your painting framed instantly for an additional $20 The instructor was super nice and fun, always encouraging a drink or two to boost your confidence if need be, lol. And everybody's painting turned out soo well!! I really can't wait to paint again!

Last time, it was a new girl with someone shadowing her, I figured i was good since she had someone monitoring her. The monitor was pretty distracted with chatting and when i got home, i realized that i had been charged full price for paper plates and napkins which are ALWAYS 50% off. why not just price them that way? anyways i got taken that day. Today i bought 8 of the tshirts that are marked $4.37 but are again always 30% off or $2.99. i honestly think the cashier was the same new girl from the last visit (3weeksago). she rings up the first two shirts at $4.37 each. i told her that they were always 30% off and she just blankly stared at me and grabbed another shirt to ring up at $4.37. i said please stop as i am not paying that price so please look on your sheet to see that they are $2.99. She really didn't seem to have a clue what to do at this point so i said to the cashier at the next register "how much are these shirts?". trying to assure the young girl that they were $2.99. the other cashier said they are $2.99 30% off and told me to not scold her as she's new and that i should be patient with her?! what? who wasn't patient? i got that she didn't have a clue what to do and was trying to get her some assistance on how to proceed as she had frozen. The nerve of that woman to criticize me in front of many others when i was supportive of the young girl without mindlessly paying twice the cost so she wouldn't have to deal with the real price. So.disgusted. if someone needs extra training - please provide it to them but don't yell at your customers when they try to work through the situation.

I'm a big geek and love craft-like activities. Usually I get my best ideas wandering around stores…read moreand looking at various items and thinking of different ways to use them. Hobby Lobby is a land of a bazillion potential ideas. I walked around for an hour and a half (much to my sister's dismay) and had to stop myself from starting too many projects at once. The home decor items are at the very least interesting and the very best unique and fantastic. You'll find your fair share of ceramic roosters, but there are some great treasures there as well. I don't like buying things there unless they are on sale. It seems to rotate through the sections. One day ribbon is full price, the next day it is half price. Just don't pay full price unless you have to. The paintbrush section is a lot better than Michael's selection. There are more brands and higher quality brands with more brush shapes. It's no Blick, but for suburban McHenry, it gets the job done. The paper options are also notable. They had a LOT of different types and prints. Some Michaels have a good selection, but I have yet to see one as good as Hobby Lobby. If you are like me and like picking up items and getting ideas, the clearance section is like a treasure hunt. I picked up a lot of very cheap items that I know I will use in the future. It's quite fun to dig through. Why 2 stars? The owner of Hobby Lobby has no interest in supporting women's rights or gay rights. WHO DO YOU THINK SHOPS AT YOUR STORE??? While I think the employees I've come across are fantastic and truly enjoy the store, I just can't give it more than 2 stars. And sadly after writing this and feeling rather hypocritical about shopping here....I will put my money behind companies who care about the rights of their customers and employees.

I went to this Joann Fabric store in McHenry. I was going to order some items on Etsy it for the…read moreprice they would have been easy enough to make. I went there had the fabric cut, found some matching thread, Also found a few Christmas items on sale. I went to check out. No cashier so I had to press a call button. I clearly hear a cashier is in the way. Meanwhile, at least 5 minutes have passed and now there is a huge line. I waited. few more minutes then decided to leave. This is not the first time this has happened. It's a shame the fabric was cut but I but it obvious they company does not care loosing customers. I doubt I'll ever go back to a Joann Fabric store and I will not order on mine from them. I did however ordered my things from Etsy. I paid triple, but it was already made and I supported a small business. Joann Fabric your too cheap to pay a cashier. It's obvious your also to cheap to install a self checkout. I'm sure you'll be out of business soon enough.

I bought 6 spools of handquilting thread online. A tangled mess arrived. When I contacted customer…read moreservice, I received a reply about how to reorder. I did receive partial credit for the order, but that isn't really the point---the point was to have a quick and easy purchase. I provided the photo (attached)---good policy would be to immediately ship replacement thread, not put me through the hassle of redoing everything with a process that I now do not trust. How hard can it be to put a little paper into a box so that spools of thread don't unspool in transit?
