Crazy Fantastic!!!!…read more My girlfriend and i were shopping at Valley Fair when we ran across the Twindom kiosk. We had no clue what it was all about but Gary was very nice and explained everything. You get into the booth and they take a picture of you from all angles with multiple cameras. i wish i had brought a change of clothes but we both pose separate and together. The figures took less than 14 days to arrive at our apartment after we place the order. Now i am not saying that they are the best looking thing in the world but considering how little it cost....We are quite satisfied. another tip: were bright colors as drab colors do not look so hot!

The model examples that they showcase are amazing and really show the details of the individual. I decided to go for it! It wa dinky going to cost me $109, for a 5inch statue of my and 2 of my kids. It took quite a while to get the "right" scan and they even offered to have it arrive by Valentines day (promo at the time). I then sent my dad and his wife and two other friends for a big family statue! Then there came trouble... Valentines came and went and there were no signs of any of our twindom statues. When I called a few days later they said that they were never marked for the Valentine special delivery promo. Okay, fine, bummer. But that's okay, these statues are bad ass right? So let's just deal with miss-shipping, we can get over it. Then two fancy weeks later, here we are they arrived!! And WOW! It's the most creepy thing I've ever seen of me and my kids. Unfortunately we like ALIENS! The scan was really really bad. It doesn't look like us at all. There are several different "shadows" on the statues that take away from very important detail. We are all missing noses, and our eyes are sunken in with no real definition or color. The rest of our faces are a very blurry blob. It's all really scary looking. Very bad. Sad to say, I was really excited about this, I was sending to my parents for valentines and it didn't arrive and then once it did, the quality was so bad it was scary. Maybe too good to be true, unfortunately.

I contacted Art Smart to hang 20 pieces of art work for me. Valerie responded to my call right away…read moreand was very pleasant to talk to. In fact, she was able to put me in their schedule the following week! Valerie and Paul arrived promptly and were very friendly. I showed them around my home and where I "thought " some of my art should be hung. With their years of experience, they gave me wonderful suggestions on placement of my art pieces. ( I have had these pieces for over a year and was completely flustered on where and how to hang them). They worked at a great pace, ensuring every piece was hung with care and sturdy! I cannot recommend them enough! My art pieces look fabulous and now I can sit back and enjoy them! Thank you so much Valerie and Paul!!

We are planning to ask Valarie to frame some childhood memories posters for us as well. Thank you Val! Best

My New Year's resolution was to support more local and small businesses, so I decided to try KH…read morePhoto to make copies for our save-the-dates. I dropped off my photo, explained what I wanted, and was told they'd call me later that day. It was getting close to closing time and I hadn't heard back, so I called. It definitely slipped their mind to call me. I was also nervous because this is our one and only copy and worried that they might misplace it. Anyways, we went over everything again, including pricing, and I was told it would be ready the next day by noon. I came back after work, hours after I was told it would be done. It still wasn't ready. They had to locate my original photo and print/cut everything on the spot while I waited. To their credit, the edits (reducing blur and glare) turned out well, and the attendant was apologetic throughout. However, I also had to return again to pick up my original photo, which they again had trouble locating. Overall, the final product was decent, but the process felt disorganized and inconvenient. I don't usually expect discounts, but given the multiple issues, it would have been nice and I probably wouldn't have written this review. Can't say I recommend them.

My fiancée and I chose Sanarpics for our engagement photos in Santa Cruz. We were extremely pleased…read morewith how the whole shoot went and how the photos turned out. We were impressed in how far Tendayi (photographer) went to get good shots of us - for example, laying down in the sand to get a particular angle of us, to going on the ferris wheel and gondola, to under the pier. He was very easy to work with and is very professional. Our pictures turned out to be amazing! We're extremely pleased with the whole experience and wouldn't have chosen another company to capture our moments!

The lead photographer (that wrote one of his own - unfactored - reviews on here, by the way),…read morecalled while I was planning my wedding in 2012. Because my husband is a veteran he was offering us a free photo session with two free prints. I couldn't believe my luck! We were going to skip pictures because of the expense but suddenly, here he was like an angel. We did the session and were really excited and had fun. T.M. (Owner, lead photographer), promised we would have pictures in a few weeks. After a few weeks he sent a proofing sheet (that we wouldn't be able to save/use later because it was all one picture file) and then fell off the face of the earth. He wasted our time and then I couldn't ever get a hold of him. I had planned on buying extra prints and what not because we got the session for free but he never completed the deal. We wanted to have engagement pictures to give to my grandfather (who passed on 10/24/2013) and that never happened. It's been over a year since our free photo session and I still feel like he cheated us out of something special. He promised something we had no hope of getting before and then crushed our hopes when he failed to deliver. I'm in the market now for a photographer for both maternity and newborn pictures and you can BET I am not choosing this one. DO NOT TRUST THIS MAN. He won't deliver. Edit to add: We finally got the pictures 4 days before my son was born. Which, I should add, was 14 months AFTER my wedding. I had hoped to gift a photo to my grandfather but he sadly passed away before I got my pictures (by 7 months). We did eventually get what was offered though. Since then I have used other photographers and have had much better experiences but the shoot itself for this session was good. Not excellent, but good. He definitely made us feel special during the shoot but some of the angles were not favorable.

Attended Mosaic of Motherhood Exhibit at Noble Gallery in San Jose…read more This was organized by Jessica Gutierrez a very talented and passionate artist. Jessica had some of her pieces displayed. Multiple artists had art displayed. Elba Raquel had some very interesting pieces. It is my understating that Noble Gallery hosts art clinics. There was a photographer there to take family photos for a donation. There were many families and children present. Art just makes me feel good and makes the world a better place. Bravo to all these talented artists with imaginations far beyond mine.

He has been working with vintage typewriters for years. He is a 5-star wonderful and kind artisan. The store is in a little strip mall that has seen much better days. This rundown non-vintage San Jose parking lot with worn out shops surrounding it amount to one star. I'm super glad I met Mr. Kim and highly recommend him, especially for your old typewriter needs.

This review is for the permanent jewelry side of her business:…read more I love my bracelets! There's a necklace too I didn't take a picture of. Christine has been my source for permanent jewelry. She's so kind and able to explain whatever it is you need to explain. Her pricing is reasonable and everything is easy to do. The welding is not noticeable, if at all, so the pieces look very seamless. The quality of her pieces are great with options for silver, gold-filled or solid gold - no gold plated here! I've had my pieces for months and they are sturdy. I work out (lightly), shower, household chores, etc. I'm also very accident prone, hitting myself on many things and these babies do not come off. I trust the sturdiness of the bracelets so much I had no qualms about getting one for my toddler! She made it loose enough for her to grow into but not too loose where the bracelet would come off. She's had it a few weeks now and it hasn't caused any issues for her. Christine's options for chains can vary though she does keep the very popular ones in stock. She's able to do hand chains, necklaces, anklets, etc. I've seen my friends book her for private events, like a luncheon or bachelorette/bridal shower. The hardest part of the whole process is deciding what I want! Everything else is very quick and you can be done in a very short amount of time if you're not indecisive like I am.

Christine is such a gem and an amazing person. Her work is impeccable…read more Prior to moving out of the Bay Area, I'd been seeing her for lash extensions for the last 5+ years. I mean, that's like a long-term relationship! -And I wasn't ready to "break up" so I continued a long distance relationship. Since my corporate office was in San Jose, I would fly back to see her and would schedule my work meetings around my lash appointments. As I began to do less work in the Bay Area, me traveling there became less frequent and I was FORCED to find another lash artist. I like my lashes wispy with a hybrid of different lashes. I don't like them too thick or too long...but don't want them too thin or too short either. I like them natural but with a slight cat eye flair. I'm not picky, I swear LOL. After a year and 8 different lash artists later, I pinged her on IG and confessed to her about how much I missed her doing my lashes and admitted to how many artists I'd seen since my move. A couple days later, she sent me a lash map to take to local artists to see if they can replicate her work. I took it to two other artists who tried to and LUCKY FOR ME, the second one was able to come close enough . Christine's artistry is immaculate and it doesn't hurt that she's such a kind soul either. DON'T hesitate to book with her.
