As a long time enthusiastic paper crafter I was thrilled when I discovered Cherish the Thought. There may be other stores with more volume but no other store with more heart. From the first time I entered the store, queried a technique, and found myself sitting down at the work table "doing it myself" I was hooked. We don't craft because it is easier or because it costs less - we craft because we love this way of expressing creativity - and no one understands this compulsion better than Jessie and the other people at Cherish the Thought. Don't compete, don't compromise, don't change. Thank you.

You must know by now how much I love your "little shop of love". Ever since I walked in to the store a year ago, I was made to feel so welcome, and still have the same feeling. The atmosphere is always so friendly and welcoming you just want to "hang out".
You have a fantastic staff, they are an extension of you. They make everyone feel welcome and are so helpful.
But, even though the staff is fantastic, it would not be the store it is, without "YOU". Your bubbly enthusiasm and personality is so great, compared to other "places" that I have gone too.
I have taken numerous classes, and have enjoyed them all, the people who do your classes are such a friendly group of people...so all in all the whole experience of shopping and participating in you classes has been a lot of fun, and always look forward to coming in to the store, and hearing all you little stories, about your little sweetie pie....(didn't say cutie pie) lol. I look forward to your weekly newsletter and have learned a lot from the classes. I was a total newbie, when I first came into your store, and now I have a "mini cherish the thought" in my house. And if I can ever help in anyway you know you only have to ask.

We walked into "Cherish" and immediately felt like part of the family. Jessie was so warm and open that we felt like we belonged. We learned so much in twenty minutes of just chatting...it left us a bit dazed, but oh-so-excited to learn and explore more techniques! Cherish the Thought is amazing, and Jessie is a treasure!

Thinking about what my testimonial for Cherish would say, I had to laugh at myself for not being "creative" enough to put into words what I feel when I come to the shop. Isn't the whole point of your shop to help us find our creativity? I dropped by one day out of curiosity and was peering in the window after noticing the store hours saying the store was closed. Wrong. Sure enough Jessie was there setting up for a class and waved me in. Well, about 45 minutes later not only was I interested in being a repeat customer, I was signed up for classes and walking out with the most amazing bag full of goodies. I have found that my creativity needs inspiration. I found it in the form of a little shop with the biggest heart. I "Cherish the thought" that I can pop in and pick up a small item for my craft or sit down with a cup of tea and learn a technique I'd only imagined being able to do.
Thank you from your devoted customer,

I would like to say how much I love coming to Cherish, You girls are the best. Always willing to help on techniques give advice and also just to come by for tea and a chat. I wouldn’t know what to do if I didn’t have your place to come to. I’ve met such wonderful people had such great fun at the classes. It’s a great meeting place. You have all been so very kind to me and I very much cherish your friendships. You are the best.

If you are looking for a place that has the latest and greatest techniques you've found it. Jessie and her wonderful staff have shown me so many neat techniques that I would never known how to do if it wasn't for them. There are always willing to go the extra mile to help you out whether it is ordering in a stamp that I wanted or just showing me some new ways to use some of my existing supplies. I love going to Cherish the Thought to get inspired as well as relax as it has such homey feel to it. I look forward to each visit.

Cherish the Thought feels like coming home ... it really does. Where else can you see old friends, make new ones and share a relaxing, affordable, enjoyable hobby? Great projects, fun products, superb demos and awesome staff add to the experience and somehow it feels like your cropping on your best friend's dining table. A may be a new customer but Jessie and her team are now stuck with me for life. See you there!

Every time I come into Cherish the Thought, I'm greeted with such warmth and friendliness. I love the variety of stock and get tons of ideas while I'm shopping. Most of all, I love that everyone is so helpful!!!
Thanks so much for opening up in Port Moody!!

I haven't been a customer of Cherish the Thought for all that long....I only discovered them this past fall. But, I've been treated like an old friend every time I go to the store. You can find everything you need, and sometimes more than. Their classes are a treat to attend...well thought out, innovative ideas, and a smaller class size so all participants regardless of ability get personalized attention. And there's always a hot cup of tea if you need one. Jessie and her staff really are wonderful.
