Glenda's Creative Place - Paper Crafting fun, CRICUT, CLOSE to MY HEART Consultant

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 b...

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...

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, a...

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 ...

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 re...

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 li...

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 w...

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...

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...

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 Applicat...
