When we try to ask questions or ask for assistance, we have found the staff member present to be pretty apathetic. There was a lack of supplies needed such as paper towels and so we constantly felt like we were asking for things and that annoyed the person working. That being said, there are a plethora of paint colors to choose from and unique pieces to paint.

The tags, my task, were just good fun. Lots of room to be creative and simple to complete without assistance. The passport covers were another story. The other 2 needed assistance a lot, especially during the stitching, which took quite a bit of time and was a tad hard on their hands. The employees were more than willing to provide the assistance they needed though. There were definitely a couple other crafts I would've enjoyed trying. Fabulous concept, pleasant employees, and a cool way to spend a few hours...especially for those of us very much out of our comfort zone.

This store is intimidating when you walk in, with tall industrial shelving and narrow aisles, but has so much magic in stock! I came in for this pad of special paper they carry, and ended up walking out with a dozen different items! They have a bit of everything there. It has the art supplies any student would need/want, lots of craft project supplies and ideas. They also had ink bottles from many great companies - I got a phosphorescent ink just for the fun of it. They carry all shapes and sizes of baggu bags and hilarious pencil cases.

I've shopped at many different Michael's locations in many different states and they're all pretty much the same. Parking was plentiful here and not one shopping cart incident the whole time. Most of what they have in stock reflects the current wants and tastes of the local community. My husband was looking for macrame supplies and I guess the good people of Tualatin aren't much into macrame. Aside from some cotton cord, supplies were none existent. I, on the other hand, was looking to spruce up my fireplace mantle with a more coastal theme and needed some sea stars and large seashells. There were no sea stars to be found but I did score a decent size bag of beautiful seashells. Good sizes and varieties, and perfect for my project. At checkout there was one register open and the person being helped was having issues with her gift card (of course!). The salesperson said three employees had called in sick that day and we were welcome to use the self-checkout. Both of us being strong Union supporters, we declined and said we'd be happy to wait. When we finally got to the register, the woman gave us 25% off just for being so patient. Thanks!!!! I'll continue shopping online but it's nice to know Michael's is still there and hasn't gone the way of JoAnn's...yet.

Examples are mugs / dishes, gnomes, animal dishes, all different animals, jewelry boxes, and so on. After you are finished, you turn in your project and that is where they put it in their fancy machine - takes about a week and comes out so different but super pretty! Very fun.

I found out, their warehouse is in Eugene. So, I went ahead & ordered. The photos don't do wanders, because whatever they have @ the warehouse, that's what you'll get. Of course, one of my items, 5% of one inside the package (I ordered 5 items in bulk) was not exactly as the photos I wanted. I emailed customer service, on which I got a respond back, and yes, I could exchange it. I called her back, rather than explain exactly what I needed, I got a human voice - not playing phone tags like before - and I was told 'there's no guarantee, they can re-send me a new package, without the shipping, but I may end up getting the same package, not the one in the photo." But no matter, I went ahead & re-order it and I ordered more of the same, just different colors. She didn't even charge me for the 'wrong item'. I'd say, they have the best CS, and shipment is fast! I seldom order online, because I've been burned before, by using Paypal. I used my CC now!

The woman on the phone understood what I was talking about, she went onto the web site and found just the right thing, and then she said not to bother sending the others back, just keep them and they sent me a pack of the new ones, no charge for anything! They do not have a retail presence so I would say, before you pick anything out, call as they have great customer service.

The shop is a blend of vintage and Parisian inspired decor with glass armoires and baker's racks filled with treasures. Upscale craft, party, and card making supplies are in abundance. This is not Michaels crafts; these items have been thoughtfully selected and curated to create the charming ambiance of the store and the items that can be created. I wandered in a few weeks before Valentine's Day so hearts, Cupids and vintage Valentine's Day card supplies were plentiful. The owner, Kelli, offers classes which are held in the back of the shop where there is a huge rectangular table that can comfortably sit 15 or so eager crafters. I found the shop and environment to be very inspiring. I've been an active crafter since I was a pre-teen so this shop really spoke to me! I'll definitely be signing up for classes; a great way to make something unique without having to buy packets of the individual components. Plus the opportunity to meet others with similar interests. You can even organize a class for a group of your friends around a theme - bridal shower, special birthday, reunion, whatever! Kelli and I chatted for awhile; she gave me a history of her shop and her sister Kim's Chocolate Shop, Enchante, next door (see my review.) It's obvious that attention to detail, designing beautiful spaces and experiences, and a love for all things Parisian is a family trait!

The Academy offers a low student-to-teacher ratio with a complete range of core academic classes plus various electives. They have made a tremendous difference in my child's life. The struggles she was having in the public schools were more than they were prepared for. Ridicule was beginning because of her falling behind. School was becoming a nightmare for her. The lack of resources available made it a downward spiral. Park has the resources. The knowledge. Teachers that are prepared to handle the needs of kids with learning difficulties. The teacher ratio is a vast improvement. No child is left behind because they are encouraged. They are stimulated to learn and explore.
