Color Me Mine Review, Memorial Day Sales.

In my post on May 6, 2009 I had mentioned about the Color Me Mine activity for Mother's day. I wanted to provide you with an update and review if any of you were thinking of going.

I had made reservations before going since we were a group of 8 . They do welcome walk-ins, but if more than 6 people will be going I would definitely recommend making a reservation. We got a separate room all to ourselves .

They have a lot of ceramic pieces to choose from. Although I have to say that they are a little bit pricey. You have to pay a flat rate studio fee and the price of the piece that you choose. On the day that we went , they had a promotion for Mothers day where the studio fee was waived. So we ended up saving about $30 for a family of 4.

Once we chose our pieces , the associate let us know the procedure. They have a lot of colors, stencils, foam shapes available. It takes about 2 hours for the whole process. It is very relaxing and calming. We had 4 kids with us, and at one point to my surprise the whole room was quiet-- no arguing,talking, fighting. I wish we had more moments like these :-)

It took about a week to get our pieces back. They turned out good. The kids were happy to see their creations.I would say it is worth a visit. Even the Dad's enjoyed this activity.
