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

Hi everyone!! Well, our son's wedding went off without a hitch, we partied like rock stars, but now I am back to work and taking all of your CHA Summer 2012 orders. Anything you see that you may want, there's a good chance that I have already pre-ordered for you, or am in the process of ordering.  Please keep in mind that my prices will always average at least 25 to 30% (or more!) below the Retail/MSRP price. To place an order with me, or to just make an inquiry about products, all you have to do is email me at gcporders@yahoo.com   and put the word "ORDER" in your email subject line, then list the items you are interested in, along with the name of the manufacturer, the product name & if by chance you have it, the product code. To see which products have already been, or are just now being released, here's a great site: http://www.scrapbookupdate.com/cha-summer-2012-sneak-peeks/  .  BTW, you will likely see many of the manufacturers listed there more ...

The new Tim Holtz Seasonal Summer 2012 Distress Inks were announced by Ranger today.  My orders for all the Summer colors have already been placed (for both the Ink Pad Sets, as well as each of the three new Summer 2012 re-inkers!).  I expect that the ink pads will ship out to me within the next few days (if they haven’t already!) and the re-inkers should be shipping to me by the end of next week at the latest. The three new Summer colors are absolutely gorgeous.  They are: Picked Raspberry (it’s sort of a hot pink, which you know I LOVE!) , Mowed Lawn and Salty Ocean (which is my very favorite of course, being that I am a beach girl, LOL!!!) Per Ranger’s official Press Release , the Summer 2012 Seasonal Ink Pads are once again being produced in limited quantities (just like all the prior Seasonal Ink Pads), so please be sure to order yours while they’re still available! (For those of you who missed out on the original Fall 2011 Seasonal Distress Ink Pads, y...

If you love many of Tim Holtz’s products and are NOT yet signed up to take Tim’s very first online class , I can only ask “Why Not”?  This two-week online set of eleven classes are for any paper crafter who wants to understand: how to use , when to use , and why to use all the different types of inks, colorants, markers, papers and more that we already have in our stash, or that we might want to add to our craft supplies in the future.  In Tim’s words, these classes are all about technique. “The goal here is not to just make pretty things, our goal is to understand the “how’s & why’s” of the products too.” It is an online class which incorporates the very best formats available for online classes in that they are interactive classes because you can ask questions and interact with the instructor and other class participants in the Class Forum, but you can actually “attend” the classes and watch the videos on your own schedule , and the very best thing is that you have LI...

First let me apologize to anyone who has been waiting for a return email from me from either yesterday (Valentine’s Day) or today.  I actually took these 2 days off, but for some reason, my “Vacation Response” isn’t working in my Yahoo mail, so if you emailed me, you didn’t get an automated return alerting you that I’m actually off work—sorry!!  If I don’t get to you later today or tonight, I will certainly get in touch with you tomorrow (Thursday). Next, I want to let everyone know that I’ve now added direct ordering for the new Tim Holtz Distress Markers for customers within the USA only .  You can now order them directly by using the PayPal ADD TO CART button located on my MARKERS webpage in the Tim Holtz Distress Markers section, which is located about 1/3 of the way down the page!!  For those of you who have already placed a pre-order with me for this full 37-piece set of Distress Markers and who have NOT yet received an invoice from me can go ahead and ...

I wanted to let everyone know that I’ve now added a separate “page”  under my Navigational Buttons at the top of my site with PayPal Shopping Cart options for U.S.A. customers to directly order the different sets of Markers from multiple manufacturers. First, I’ve already added all the options for the Spectrum Noir Mar kers, including a fabulous, limited time bundle that will get you everything you need to get started and more.  I will also be adding the new Tim Holtz / Ranger Distress Markers very soon.  Then, as other markers or pens show up that I’m getting a lot of requests for from my customers, I will add those there as well. ***FYI, NONE of the PayPal “ADD TO CART” or “BUY NOW BUTTONS” on my website are currently set up for International shipping, so any customers who are outside of the U.S.A., still do need to contact me by email to place their orders!!!!  Please do NOT use the ADD TO CART Buttons, because they will not work properly, nor will they gi...

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,...

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!!

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 Nationa...

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 ...

Hi all!  I'm editing this post from the original post, because all the Tim Holtz Embossing Folders are finally now in stock, after having their ship dates changed several times! To place an order, please use the PayPal "ADD TO CART" Buttons that are located inbetween the Name of the Folder and the image of the Folder.  You may add as many folders as you like!  If however, you want to add some other products that do NOT have any PayPal buttons associated with them (yet), or if you're an International customer, please email me at glendascreativeplace@yahoo.com . List all the items you want, along with your ZIP CODE (or for International, your country and city codes) , and please put the words "ORDER for Tim Holtz Folders..."   (or whatever else you're ordering) in your email's subject line !!  And-- if your PayPal account is under a different email than what you use to contact me, be sure to include that as well.  I will th...

OK, here's the information many of you have requested about the new releases from JustRite Stampers. Those of you who have been wanting more SQUARES, here you go!!! There are 3 new SQUARE sets, WooHoo !! If you love the water and the beach, wait until you see "By the Sea"! And for those of you who have been asking for something a little more light-hearted, this is your lucky day with the "Let's Celebrate" set!!  (But be sure to notice with the "Let's Celebrate" stamps, those borders could be used beautifully with a totally different category of stamps! Such is the genius of the entire JustRiteStampers "system"!!

Please be sure to include your zip code and the email address for your PayPal account (if it's different from your regular email).  Please put: " JUSTRITE NEW RELEASES" in the subj...

I got an early morning call from Spellbinders today with some REALLY good news!!  The only dies that were still missing from the original shipment of all the new CHA releases that I received earlier this week (on Monday, 2/15/10), were being packed & loaded for me today in their warehouse in preparation to be shipped, so I should have ALL the new CHA Spellbinders releases in my hands by early to mid next week!!!  WOOHOO!!!  The dies that I'm talking about that were missing are the Easter dies & the Big Scalloped Circles (LG & SM). They were missing because their delivery from overseas had been delayed. So, if I already shipped you all your Spellbinders CHA new releases except for any of these missing dies, I will mail them out to you as soon as they arrive.  If you've placed an order within the last day or two that includes any of these dies, then I've already make arrangements with you about your entire shipment. T...

Well, here I finally am, with an internet connection that will now hopefully STAY working! Great news to share is that new CHA products that I ordered are arriving!!  FYI--most of the new CHA Spellbinders releases were delivered today (except for a handful of them, mostly the Easter Dies and the Big Scalloped Circles, but Spellbinders says they're expecting those to arrive from overseas early next week (hopefully Mon or Tues 2/22 or 2/23), so they'll be here soon as well--woohoo!!!). The new releases for JustRite Stamps are already here and more products are scheduled to arrive later in the week!!  And the rest of the products I'm interested in, such as the new Ranger & Zutter products are all still on schedule to arrive either late Feb or early March.  (So, if there's anything you want me to order for you, please let me know!!)   For those of you who haven't heard, I've had a very faulty internet connection over the ...

Well, I must admit I have a problem and I really need your help!! My problem is that I'm out of storage space for any more inventory. So, I need your help to clear out some of my inventory ASAP, in order to make room for all the new CHA products I'll be purchasing this week. (And I could also use anything I make from this Inventory Clearance Sale to buy even MORE great CHA products for all of you!) So, come on now--help me clear out this inventory please!!! Everyone who places an order & pays my invoice during this week: 7/25 thru 8/2, will be entered into a contest for a full set of the new Cuttlebug Folders. This also applies to pre-orders--everyone who has already placed their pre-orders for the new CHA Spellbinder's products--they will also be entered to win a set of the new Cuttlebug folders. Plus, I'll have a couple other 2nd & 3rd place prizes to give-away as well!!! If you haven't placed your orders for all the brand new CHA releases, see my 7/25th p...

OK, here we go again. Seems I just finished with the initial pre-orders for the first 16 new Spellbinders (aka SPB) dies (the Pendants & Borderabilities) and now I'm starting pre-orders for all the NEWEST SPB dies, being released in yet ANOTHER Blog Frenzy rollout!!! WHEW!! See the SPB Blog for all the details & to follow the "Reveals" of the new dies: http://spellbinderspaperarts.com/blog/ Please email your orders to me ASAP, as I want to be sure I get enough products ordered & stocked, so as to keep up with your orders.

Thanks. It is MORE IMPORTANT than EVER to pre-order these dies, to avoid being shut out, if Spellbinders sells out this new group too, as they've just done with the initial rollout of the 16 new dies (Pendants & Borderabilitie...

Wow, after waiting & waiting since January, the new, larger size Companion set of Rock-A-Blocks (RAB2)are FINALLY, FINALLY here!!! WooHoo!!!!!! Plus, I've added some bundles for the different Crafter's Companion products that I carry!!! I was soooo excited when the UPS man arrived with my shipment of the new large Rock-A-Blocks last evening!!! You should have seen me rip open that shipping box!! And boy, oh boy, did I EVER give them a serious work-out last night. I was in a stamping frenzy!!! We have needed these additional sizes of Rock-A-Blocks (one block is 4 1/2" x 7", and the other block is 2" x 7") sooooo badly!!!! And they work just as fabulously as the original set---they are just sooooo easy & the results from both sets are absolutely outstanding!!! No more ink splotches from ink on your block transferring onto your paper!! No more unevenly stamped images !!! No more ruined projects!!! WooHoo!!!! (Can you tell I'm excited??? I feel li...

What can I say about all of you??? Once again, you have totally humbled & surprised me!! I knew a lot of you had been asking me to make other products available to you here, using the same type of price structure & deep discounting that I've offered since I began selling on my blog, but WOW---your response truly knocked my socks off!!!! I had no idea what the response to my latest offerings (see May 12th post here) would be, but I certainly had no expectation of the volume that you ended up honoring me with! For all of you who placed your orders with me this past week, the words, "Thank You" just don't seem adequate, but I'm saying them anyway, because I never want you to doubt how deeply grateful I am for the trust you put in me by spending your very hard-earned dollars here with me. It is something I NEVER take for granted & always take very seriously!! And I have news---after the first order was closed & finalized with the wholesaler, I had...
