We celebrated our daughter's birthday for the second year in a row at the studio, and I continue to be charmed by and in awe of Shannon. Last year we celebrated with a slime making party and this year the kids created fairy and wizard lockets and homes. This past party we had 28 kids, and the size did not change the quality of the experience at all. Shannon is easy going and so engaged with the kids. She makes each child feel special and gifted in their art; she refers to each of them by name as if she's an auntie that has known them forever. It's a drop off party and completely hands off as the parent hosting; she and her helpers handle it all. Shannon also has decorations, including a balloon arch and a banner with the birthday child's name. You bring the cake and pizza, and she supplies the juice, water, forks, plates, napkins.

The party was super easy--all I had to bring in was pizza (there's a pizza place just next door!) and my own goodie bags. I even opted to add in cotton candy (so fun!) at the end for guests to eat on their way out. This was by far the easiest and most fun party I have ever thrown. My girl and her friends were thrilled with...
   Read moreShannon and her assistant did a wonderful job on my daughter’s slime birthday party. The kids had so much fun and each made 3 different slimes to bring home. The slime jars and bags were decorated with customized logo stickers. The place was beautifully decorated with a balloon arch and a customized name banner which my daughter got to take home with her. They took care of drinks, utensils, and paper products. I only had to bring in my daughter’s favorite foods (pizza and donuts). Shannon was very communicative throughout the booking process. This was such an easy party because they take care of everything! I highly recommend if you are looking for a unique craft party...
