This is what I would do. Don't ask open ended questions or make requests where she feels like it's a maybe.

Say:

"Tabitha, I need 3 copies of this book sent to this address via FedEx to arrive there tomorrow"

not

"Tabitha, how are you? hey can you help me with something? Do you think you can send this package out for me?"

For requests like folders, why is she coming to you? Show her where the supplies are and tell her to talk to your boss to order more. That's it.
