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

Hi All, I just wanted to let everyone know that due to a combination of several personal circumstances, I will be out of touch for the next couple weeks.  Everything will be OK, so please don't worry about me.  I will do a detailed post explaining everything after I come back to work probably the 2nd week of December. Also, my home office # (714) 964-0656 will not be working after this week due to some other changes being made at home.  After next week, if you need to contact me, please use my cell # (714) 328-1223. Also wanted to let you know that I am selling a brand new, sealed up in the box, never touched Cricut Expression 2 Anniversary Edition machine (the one that has 4 pre-installed cartridges, the green end caps & that hasn't been readily available from Provo Craft!!).  I am also selling a Cricut Cake machine (the large one that's basically an Expression machine) & all its' accessories--this machine has only been used once & is in perfect m...

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...

Well, we’re on our way right now to watch our youngest son, Shawn, walk across the stage to get his college diploma.  We are extremely proud of Shawn, as he has worked very hard to accomplish this goal. This is now #2 of 2 of our sons who are now college grads.  It makes me think that we must be doing something right, LOL!! And although we are extremely proud of Shawn and his older brother, Matthew for both graduating from college, as a parent, this day is a little bittersweet, because we’ve raised them and I feel as if it was our job to get them to this point, but now that our “baby”is graduating from college, I’m not quite sure what my “mom” job is now!  We have a busy early summer this year, starting with Shawn’s College Graduation and then in just over a month from now, our oldest son, Matthew is getting married. WHEW!!!

I finally have a new puppy, thanks to a surprise visit from my only sibling, sister Gail.  She gave me that extra push I needed to find the right one, and then she made all the arrangements for me to get the puppy. She is a "Shihchon", which is half Bichon Frise and half Shihtzu. They're called the Teddy Bear dog because they look like a little stuffed animal Teddy Bear!!  She weighs 3 pounds! She's sooo cute it's ridiculous, she's unbelievably smart and she's a serious lover and snuggle bunny.  Oh, and she hops like a bunny--it's hilarious!!  She's non-allergenic, so she can be around anyone who normally has allergies to dogs!!  She has no name yet because we're waiting for my husband, Moe to name her, because he has named all of our dogs!! I am totally in love with her and she is already healing my broken heart from when I lost my last dog, Gucci. Most of you know I have been living with a seriously broken heart since last July 6, 201...

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...
