This was my first time scrapping in years & first time ever at this location. They were all so friendly & helpful! Shout out especially to the woman at the front desk that could tell I was a bit unsure what to do- something as simple as reassuring me that I could ask anyone questions & they'd be ready & willing to help really made the experience much more comfortable. I will definitely be returning!
