Important Announcement
With mixed emotions, we are excited to announce we are moving to Jasper, Georgia!
This is bittersweet for both Kristina and I. We have been talking about moving to Georgia in the next few years. However, we decided to move it up because of Haley. We are so proud to say she was accepted to Georgia Tech. For Early Action Admission Decisions there was only a 9.4% admit rate. They only let in 3,000 students out of 32,836 applicants. Georgia Tech is her dream school where she will be studying architecture and civil engineering. We have decided to speed up our move to help Haley save money on tuition. If we can establish residency by June, Haley only has 1 year of out of state tuition.
What does this mean for you?
We are going to have lots of sales. We are going to try to clear out some inventory, so we don’t have to pay freight to Georgia, with the first one being this Thursday 3/7 through Sunday 3/10.
We are going to be able to offer more types of materials. Being in Florida, freight was double the cost as other states because most truck drivers don’t get a load out of Florida, so we would pay for them to bring us freight and we pay for them to drive back empty, which made it cost prohibitive for us to offer some types of materials.
We are temporarily changing shipping to Monday-Thursday. This gives us Friday-Sundays to work on our great move of 2024.

Products that will be discontinued:
1.) Original MDF
The original slick MDF will be discontinued. I have updated the remaining inventory on the website to reflect what is left in stock. There are several Glowforge 11.75 x 19 boxes available. The larger sizes have very limited inventory. I’ll be running a sale on the Glowforge sizes very soon. We purchased the last 2 units in Florida last year and have not been able to secure anymore in Florida. There’s an exclusivity deal with one of the distributors and they are in a stalemate with the manufacturer over pricing.
2.) Smooth White MDF. There are 8 sheets left of double-sided Smooth White MDF that I will be clearing out in the next few weeks. They are not cut up yet so I can offer them for local pickup or cut them down to Glowforge size. That is still to be determined. If anyone wants the full sheets, send me an email at Brian@hhcreationstampa.com
There are a lot of moving parts to get all this done and we are working diligently on getting pricing figured up and what sales we are going to be running. This literally all transpired in the last week. Haley was accepted back in January, and we have been trying to figure it out ever since then. Last Friday 2/23 she got her last decision from all the colleges she applied to, and we decided on GA Tech that evening. So, the wheels have been turning 100 mph ever since.
