***Edited*** First let me say that I never intended to be away from my blog this long and I’m really sorry for that, because I know that so many of you, my blog followers, really do care about and have been genuinely worried about me.   Let me just sum it up by saying that it has been a very rough year+ with many changes and various medical issues.   The majority of those medical issues have been outlined in detail on my personal Facebook page and if you’re interested, you can read all about them there.   But here and now I am focused on going forward and have a new resolve to start anew! Some of the changes I’ve made involve aligning myself with some really great companies whose products I already use and love.   I am now an Independent Consultant for Close To My Heart (CTMH), a premier crafting company that has been in business for over 30 years!   I’ve been buying their products for years now and in fact, have alone been mak...

I thought I’d better get back to blogging and finish telling all of you about my CHA highlights, after needing a few days to recover from being on my feet for 4 days!! Let’s start with Provo Craft – Cricut, Cuttlebug & more:  Here’s what new & fabulous:  Can I get a Halleluiah??  FINALLY—they are releasing a new version of the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 Cricut cartridge (TBBM2) , which IMHO is a “have-to-have” cartridge for every Cricut user!  They’ve done some very smart things with this updated version, including having the optional ability to have some of the boxes cut out in 2 pieces (that you can then tape together), which means you can make much larger versions of those boxes than if you could only cut it them in one full piece!!!  WOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!  But hold on Cricuteers, there’s more!!  They are also releasing a SCORING BLADE that will work with this cartridge and selected others in the future!!  In other words, many of the ...

Here's the BIG NEWS:   The very busy "Cricut Event/Special Project" I've been involved with over the past couple months is that I filmed a TV INFOMERCIAL for Cricut / Provo Craft that will be airing on all the major network stations. Please watch for it!! It was the experience of a lifetime and I will be forever grateful to have had the privilege of being involved with it! I just saw that Teresa Collins had posted on Facebook about it, so I doubled checked with the production company and they said it's OK to post this info now, so now you know!!! The production company that Provo Craft very wisely hired to shoot this infomercial was Raymond Enterprises and let me just say they were an absolute dream to work with from start to finish.  Every single person I came into contact with from Raymond Enterprises was unbelievably professional, amazingly grounded and every one of them made me feel like a million bucks! On Day 1 they actually did my shoot at my family bus...

OMG!!  I was soooo happy when I saw all the new Cricut cartridges that were released this week!!!  Because I’m a proud member of the Cricut Circle, I got to see them a day early on  “Hello Wednesday”, when Provo Craft posts them to the members-only Cricut Circle Blog.  But now that it’s Thursday, they are all listed for public view on the “Hello Thursday” section on the Cricut.com site on the Shopping tab . Of course I was THRILLED to see another new Imagine cartridge (I just wished there would have been more of them for the Imagine in this release!!)!!    It’s the Cricut Imagine ® Art Cartridge, “Greeting Cards Inside and Out” and it’s filled with birthday invitations, thank you cards, birth announcements, engagement and wedding announcements, and cards for all sorts of occasions.  Not only is it going to make it quick and super easy-peasy to make all sorts of cards, but I also absolutely LOVE all the new Imagine papers on this cartridge!!...

Hi All!! Oh, I wish all of you could all see what is going on here.  I am on “vacation” again this week, finishing up a very special project.  In order to get everything done in time (because there was an “industrial accident” here last week that destroyed weeks worth of work I’d already done—can’t talk about that right now or I might seriously start weeping, LOL!!),  I literally have every Cricut machine that I own working away for me, all at the same time. I have my Expression 2 (which I am now soooo LOVING—thank you soooo much for this machine Provo Craft!!!!), next to my regular Expression, along with my original Cricut (aka Baby Bug) all three working in my craft room.  Then in the family room, I have my Cricut Imagine machine cutting away as well. I have my laptop permanently logged into the Cricut Craft Room design program and I am just moving the USB cord from one machine to the other in my craft room—when one machine finishes, I start up the other one (s...

I've missed all of you & am ramping up to have a really great social networking summer via this blog/website & my business Facebook page.

Well, here we go again-it's already time for CHA! Hardly seems possible, since it feels as if we barely just finished up with everything from the last CHA last summer! I absolutely LOVE the thrill when we first see the hottest new products unveiled (the ones that have been kept "under wraps" until they debut at CHA!!). I especially look forward to everything involved with the Provo Craft events, from their fabulous set-ups within their exhibit space on the Convention floor, to the always fabulous party they have for us Retailers. Now, it's no secret that I am a huge Cricut fan, but even though I do favor and sell their products, I don't think anyone does CHA BETTER than Provo Craft!! I can't wait to see what they're going to show us this time!! What do you all of you think think they're going to WOW us with this time??!! Anything you see that you want me to order for you, please be sure to send me your list of items via email to glendascreativepla...

As always, all Provo Craft products are available to be ordered from me. This includes all Cricut, Imagine, Cuttlebug, Yudu (and of course, the newest products!!). Please email me at  glendascreativeplace@yahoo.com for prices!!

SPELLBINDER's Blog Hop!!!  Get ready for all the new CHA releases!!  FYI, I'm typing this on my phone so it will be very brief (since it takes me forever to post anything from this very "smart" phone, LOL!!).  BUT--I wanted to make sure everyone knows that I am going to be taking pre-orders for all the new Spellbinders CHA releases.  So be sure to keep your eyes peeled over the next week and a half (or so) on the Spellbinder's blog at http://spellbinderspaperarts.com/blog/  .  Each day during the Blog Hop, be sure to click on the featured designer's names to be linked to their blogs (there are usually 2 featured designers with the new Releases/Reveals).  In fact today they have a new designer who is one of my personal favorites , and that is DONNA SALAZAR!!    WooHoo!!! I LOVE her!!! Many of my regular customers know that for a while now, I have been quietly providing them with the first line of Spellbinder's Compatible stamp...
