Please keep us in your prayers--family emergency

I had to travel to Omaha, NE today for a family emergency.  My 81 year old Dad is having surgery in the morning to repair 2 aneurysms that were discovered. Please keep us in your thoughts & prayers. Any orders placed during my absence will be shipped out after I return. I hope to return about Jan. 5th or so, depending on how things progress here. Because I will be spending the majority of my time in the hospital, I won't always be able to return your emails right away, so I'm asking for your patience and understanding while I'm away.  Your business means everything to me, so please know that I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you for all of your business in 2010.  I appreciate it more than I can ever say.  I look forward to helping all of you again in 2011.  I wish you and your loved ones a very Happy New Year.

Finally--a working laptop--for now anyway!! Also, new releases...

OK friends--WOW, is there anything less fun than having computer problems??  HOW FRUSTRATING!!  But it seems to be OK (for now).--The laptop kept yelling at me regarding something about a Print Spooler, and a Print Spooler Application kept closing the laptop automatically and then re-starting it and it just kept going around in that never-ending loop!!  VERY FRUSTRATING!!  Finally did a full System Restore from the week before.  Good reminder for all of us to manually make a RESTORE Point every so often! Good news is that I have all of your emails from the Black Friday weekend & am working on them now, so expect to hear from me with your PayPal invoices soon!! I also know I need to get some new products put up here on the site for all of you (after I'm done with Black Friday!!) but for now let me just start by letting you know that YES--I am selling all of the new JustRite stamps--the originals and all the new Cling stamps, as well as the long-awaited JustRite/Spellbinders

Black Friday=laptop problems galore!! BUT-ALL sales are being honored!

This is being posted  from another computer by a friend. Been having lots of PC problems all weekend--worse today--continually keeps starting and restarting in a loop. Can't stay on long enough to get anything done or respond to your emails or orders-- BUT--want you to know I am honoring ALL orders & sale prices from this past weekend!! I DO have your emails and orders --I just can't get them answered yet. Giving up tonight after fighting with this for 2-1/2 days. Going to attempt to do a System Restore before I go to bed (if it will stay on long enough!) to see if perhaps by chance, some crazy driver or something got installed somehow that shouldn't have. Hopefully when I get up in the morning, it will have been corrected by the System Restore.  If not, at least it will be normal business hours when I call HP for help, since warranty just expired on the laptop! (Of COURSE it did!!!) I will be going thru all your emails and orders from the weekend sale just as soon

*Black Friday sale CONTINUED thru SUNDAY!!- re:Black Friday /Saturday at GlendasCreativePlace.com

Hi All!!  Hope everyone has had an absolutely fabulous shopping weekend! Good news --I have extended my sale thru midnight (Pacific Time) tonight (Sunday, Nov. 28th) because I have had sooooo much computer trouble with my laptop this weekend, I haven't been able to answer all the emails I've received. (Laptop keeps freezing up for hours at a time--grrrr!). So rest assured, if you have emailed me over the weekend (anytime since Friday), I WILL take care of you!!!  And if you were worried you missed out, you still have time right now to get your list to me!!  Now, just wish me luck keeping this #*@!)*^# laptop running, LOL!!!  Thanks!!

Black Friday /Saturday at GlendasCreativePlace.com

My Black Friday here at Glenda's Creative Place is going to mirror my everyday crafting philosophy.  And all of you who are familiar with my crafting philosophy know that I think crafting should be FUN and therefore, it should be fast and simple (aka easy-peasy!!).  But, how do we get there, to simplify all those great techniques we want to try??  Well, the answer is by having the right tools and GADGETS that do the work for us! And who better to help you with those then me, Glenda, who is the original GADGET QUEEN of the internet?! So on this Black Friday, I am offering a 40% discount (off the MSRP/Retail price)  on all the major lines I sell, whether the products are in stock or not!!  So what that means is that all the manufacturer's products listed below are yours at 40% off (unless otherwise noted) all day Friday, as well as Saturday (Nov. 26th and 27th)!!  The reason I'm extending my sale thru Saturday is to celebrate the National Small Business Shopping Day (on Sat

Busy, Busy, Busy--products rolling in!! And check out new Snag 'Em Special section!

Sorry I haven't been posting lately, but I have been incredibly tied up and just haven't seemed to be able to find the extra time!! But things are starting to settle down a bit, so hopefully I can start to get back on some sort of a schedule here. Lots of products are arriving and more on their way--Spellbinders, Ranger, Tim Holtz,  JustRite, eh I, eh, I, oh!! As always, my prices are far below the Retail/MSRP.  If there's anything you want, please email me at glendascreativeplpace@yahoo.com & include the list of products, your zip code & of course, the email address that your PayPal account is under. FYI-I'm starting a new section on this blog called "SNAG 'EM SPECIALS" .   I will occasionally put items in there with special pricing and limited quantities, so be sure to check those out when you have a chance!  These will be changing frequently, so the easiest way to keep tabs on any changes is to make sure that you are subscribed to my si

More new CHA Items--and it's just the beginning!!

Please CLICK HERE and check out the link to this interactive catalog which shows many of the new products from CHA that I can get for you.  (FYI-this link was updated on Sept 19th, so if you've saved a previous version, please save this newer version) . This is a great way to get your "Wish List" going!! If you are interested in any of these items, please send an email to me at glendascreativeplace@yahoo.com with the list of items and whose product line the items belong to (i.e. Tim Holtz, Spellbinders, etc,).  Please also be sure to put the words: "CHA Product Catalog Info" in your email subject line. This catalog does NOT show everything from the last CHA, but it is a good start. (Remember, there is always a list on the right sidebar of this site showing the product lines I have access to as well!!) I also wanted to make sure that all of you were aware that I am now able to get single versions of individual Copic markers for you (because before this

Who Wants to join the Cricut Circle?? Who wants to receive the special for the launch of the Cricut Imagine?

If you've been teetering on the fence about whether or not to sign up for Provo Craft's Cricut Circle special program, this might be the information you're looking for to push you over the edge. There is a special offer for Cricut Circle Members in conjunction with the HSN Release of the new Cricut Imagine. This special will give Cricut Circle Members access to another Imagine cartridge (in addition to the regular bundle that will be revealed on HSN). To receive the additional Imagine cartridge you must do the following: • You must have been signed up to be a member of the Cricut Circle by Sept. 13th.

Pink ATGs and i-rock Tools--I'm still at it: I'm packing and taping and printing and labeling and shipping--and again-- I'm packing and taping and printing and labeling and shipping, and again...

I want everyone to know the rest of the products are showing up and I have been at it non-stop, trying to get everything out to everyone as soon as I possibly can (in fact, I've been up again all night again!!).  Yes, thanks to the power company, who decided this is the ideal time to replace some transformers in our neighborhood,  they've actually got a "planned outage" for most of today.  In other words, we'll have no electricity here most of the day--again--yikes!!  Now it's not bad enough that because of this lack of electricity, I won't have access to my computer, printer, fax, phones (yes, all my phones here are cordless and therefore run on electricity!) and we won't even have a working fan in here (remember that I live by the beach, so we have no air conditioning!!), but on top of that, just to add insult to injury, no electricity means NO COFFEE ---urrrrggghhhhhhhhhhh!!!  Talk about torture!!!!!! Especially after staying up all night again!!! B

More delivery news about Pink ATGs, their refills and the i-rock Tool!!! YIPPPEE!!!1

OK, here we go again--are you ready?? Let's begin with the latest news about the Pink ATGs and their refills: Great news about the remainder of my 2nd shipment of Pink ATGs--they should be here by the end of the week.  I did manage to round up some more of them today from another vendor & they already shipped them out to me today.  Unfortunately, they ended up costing me quite a bit more than what I would have paid if I'd have just waitied until the next shipment showed up from overseas, because this vendor charges for freight (and this many ATG units in this many cartons did cost me a big chunk of change to have shipped!!).  But, I decided to bite the bullet and have them shipped right away because I know how many of you have been waiting for a very long time for these and I absolutely don't blame you for being impatient about it.  I ALWAYS try to look at things as if I were the customer how would I feel and what would I want the Seller to do for me, and I kn

First shipment of Pink ATG have arrived!! It's Wall to Wall in here right now!!

The first shipment of the Pink ATG Tape Dispensers arrived here last night (Friday, around 6:45 PM!!) and it is wall to wall PINK in here right now!  I've been going at it almost non-stop since they got here and I just realized, in all my hurry to get everything ready to go out, that I had forgotten to post and confirm that the Pink ATGs actually did arrive (although I know most of you already know that they did, since I'd already posted previously that I DID have a confirmed delivery date from UPS for yesterday!!!). I've also been tracking down alternate resources to try to get the remainder of my orders (the ones that they still have NOT shipped yet) delivered here a little earlier than what was projected (which was sometime soon after Aug.30th, which is when there's another big shipment expected to arrive from overseas).  Anyway, I'm hoping to hear back early Monday morning from a couple different 3rd party resale vendors to see if any of them have enough of t

More Info about Pink ATGs & i-rock Tool

OK, here we go again. Let's start with the Pink ATG: I just found out today that the vendor did NOT ship me every single Pink ATG that I ordered, even though I was told otherwise earlier in the week.  Apparently, once again, they are parceling them out to the rest of the retailers, so that they can fill yet ANOTHER order from the largest craft store chain in the country. GRRRRR!!  Yes, I KNOW I ordered a LOT of them, especially for a smaller retailer, but I really did expect to get ALL of them that I pre-ordered sooo long ago, but when I saw the final invoice for them today, it reflected most of them, but not all of them.  In addition, I've actually placed a few more orders for more Pink ATGs within the last couple weeks (including another one yesterday) because I've suddenly had another large amount or orders that have just come into me within the last week or two. Unfortunately, none of those additional orders that I placed will ship out to me until the vendor rece

Pink ATGs have shipped TO me!!! And i-rock Tool is also coming really soon!! YIPPPPEEEE!!

It is 100% verified and confirmed. The majority of the Pink ATGs that I ordered shipped out FROM the vendor TO me yesterday, Monday, Aug.16th!!  And I actually have tracking #s for all of them and guess what else---wait for it-----yep---a DELIVERY DATE!!!! They are scheduled to arrive by UPS very late afternoon/early evening this Friday, Aug.20th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Which means after I check them in & make sure everything is there that was supposed to be sent to me, I will start shipping them out!!!!! With the huge amount of them that I have to ship out, I expect it will probably take me 2 to 3 business days to get all of them shipped out, because getting each and every single order ready to ship out actually does entail a lot of steps. I'm not sure if all of you are interested in knowing what all those steps are, but I have had many people ask me in the past what the process was, so this seems as good of a time as any to share the steps I go through for those who would like to

Pink ATG-UPDATED news about shipping!!

I wanted to post a quick note about the latest information I received this morning about the Pink ATG.  They are FINALLY shipping the majority of mine to me TODAY, Monday Aug.16th !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I don't have the tracking # yet, but the promised that these would ship out today, which means that they should be here by the end of the week!!!!!   This is GREAT NEWS!!!!!!  And on top of that, whatever they're not sending me this time (which is just a tiny handful of them, so it won't really effect anything anyway!!), they said they'd send the rest of those in another shipment that should go out about Aug. 18th-20th time frame.  So I am ONE HAPPY gal!!!!!!! i-rock news: It still looks as if they are on schedule to be ready to be shipped out sometime this week.  As soon as I hear anything definite, I will post it here. Please, please keep tuned to this site right here for any & all updates about products shipping because I absolutely will post here first BEF

Pink ATG News--FINALLY!!!!

OK, here's the news about the Pink ATG tape dispensers I know many of us have been waiting for. I FINALLY got confirmation that the majority of the Pink ATGs I ordered should be shipping out to me either by this Friday, Aug. 13th, or at the latest, by Monday, Aug.16th.  So that means I should have them in my hands sometime next week--WOOHOOOOO!!!! This of course means I will start shipping them out as soon as they arrive and I will be shipping them in the order in which they were received (first in, first out). They "think" they should be able to send me the full amount of the entire quantity that I ordered, but they couldn't (or wouldn't) verify that until they actually ship. But they did say it "looked good", so I am VERY hopeful that everyone who ordered them from me will get yours shipped out after I receive this shipment. I am STILL out of town, supposedly on vacation, although with all the emails I've been receiving because of the Pink A

SHIPPING UPDATES for the Pink ATG and the i-rock TOOL

First, let me please apologize that my "out of town" technology has not been working very well and certainly not with any consistency while I've been on my trip to the Midwest(to CHA and then a swing over to Nebraska to visit the folks and take my first vacation in 2-1/2 years!!). It has been an exercise in frustration to say the least. I've even resorted to trying to at least update my Facebook, but there's nowhere on my mobile application to send or receive emails there--so PLEASE don't send me emails thru Facebook, since apparently I can't get them!! If you need to email me, please use my regular email address, glendascreativeplace@yahoo.com . But please, please use this post to get the information about the shipping dates if possible, rather than just emailing me for it. My email is absolutely back-logged right now because of all the issues I've had with my technology while out of town. OK, on with the product and shipping updates. Let me firs

ORDERING ON MY SITE (and LOTS OF CHANGES HAPPENING HERE!!)

To all my very LOYAL Readers, Followers and Customers, Yes, I've heard you.  Because of your many, many requests, I am in the process of changing the way you may order or pre-order from me, including how you can now easily and quickly pre-order / purchase the new PINK ATG Tape Dispenser by 3M with the touch of a button!!  Making all these changes across the board is a very time-consuming process, so please be patient as I get items updated. I have begun adding the ability for my customers to purchase many items by just clicking a button and going through a Checkout process, all managed by PayPal, which means every transaction is absolutely secure. Please note, so far, the Shopping Cart Buttons are ONLY set up for domestic mailing within the USA!! All International customers, including my Canadian customers, need to email me their information and I will send you a PayPal invoice. That way (for now anyway!), I can keep a better handle on the International shipping!! Please ema

I'm at CHA! Wow-HATS OFF to Provo Craft for the new Cricut Imagine machine!! And--my first vacation in 2-1/2 years!

Hi Everybody!! Greetings from a very muggy (and now under a severe thunderstorm warning) Chicago!! I am at CHA and trying to look at all the new goodies for all of you!! I am in a bit of technology funk right now, so if you're trying to reach me, please be patient! WOW--Cricut fans, you are in for a SERIOUS treat with the new Provo Craft machine, the Cricut Imagine. Hats off to the entire PC team, especially Mr. Jim Colby, (VP of all Product Development at PC), of course CEO Jim Thornton, Mr. Mike Wigton and everyone else on their teams who were involved in the creation of this next generation of our beloved Cricut family. Wait until you see how it can combine your existing Cricut cartridges with the new Imagine cartridges, basically rendering the need for lots of different colored cardstock, as well as lots of patterned paper moot!! You can now take an image from any of our existing Cricut carts, (which now, as we know, only cuts an outline of the image), and with the Imag

Pink ATG Gun- Pre Order: $21.50 with 2 free rolls of tape!! Now here's something we can do to help with the Breast Cancer cause!

Well, isn't this timely?  Just after hearing the news about our fellow crafter , Monique being diagnosed with Breast Cancer, I got a notification that there is now a new ATG tape gun being offered by 3M that is PINK and the best part is that 3M will donate a portion of the proceeds of the sale of THIS item to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.  When I read that, I knew I had to place a pre -order for these so I could allow myself and my customers to help out with this cause.  Ever since we've all heard about Monique, the most common thing I've read is how each of us wished there was something we could do to help.  Well, I have to say, I believe there are no coincidences in life --which makes the timing of the email I received about this product introduction simply amazing. For those of you who are not familiar with what an ATG is, it is simply a double sided adhesive applicator. Here's a description from f rom 3M: The Scotch® ATG Applicators quickly a
