I have worked for Simply Renee since the company started. I worked part time and started full time this January. I love my job!!!! Originally I got to go to all the fun shows, travel and meet a lot of amazing people. Now I get to work with Renee and Bobbi in making our company grow. I'm so proud of Renee and all that she has accomplished. We have had lots of fun working together and we have lots of crazy memories. Also I'm lucky to be Renee's little sister.
I'm a single mom with two/three amazing kids, Brooke who is 20 and going to University of Utah with (Jake my other kid/her boyfriend). Mitch is 16 and a junior in High School. They keep me busy and young at heart.
Here are some of my favorite things:
My kids of course!!!!!! I love running/walking (especially hills) with my best friends while solving all the worlds problems and hiking (Utah has some of the most amazing trails).
I love summer and being outside: swimming, boating,baseball games and just soaking up the sun. I recently found that I love being on the back of a chopper especially with a handsome guy ;-)
I could eat Mexican food and Dr. Pepper for every meal. I’ve tried to stop drinking my diet Dr Pepper but gave up - why should I stop something that I love and makes me happy. Life is too short to grow up and be serious so I laugh and play everyday.
Of course I love all of our Clip it up products but my favorite is the original Main Base and Upper Tier. I have all my jewelry on it.
Happy Birthday Clip it up!!!!
This week’s drawing is for the Upper Tier. To enter add a comment to this post about one of your favorite things to do in the summer. Make sure you include your name and check back on July 16 to see who won the drawing.

Nice to meet you!! Love all of the pics! Your Clip It Up is doing an awesome job organizing your jewelry! How cool to actually WORK for a scrapbooking company! I cannot imagine! That would be a dream come true!
ReplyDeleteNice getting to know you. Favorite things to do in the summer is watch my grandson play baseball, go to LSU baseball games and spend time with my granddaughters.
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn (waving), how clever to use a clip it up for jewelry...has my head spinning about other ways to use it...hmmm...in the kitchen to hang Koolaid and gravy packages and such. Okay..focus...what I like to do for summer--we usually get a camping site for the month of August and go back and forth (depending on work schedules and vacation weeks) all that month. Just love seeing my family appreciate and enjoy being outside after being cooped up for the winter.
ReplyDeleteLovely to meet you! Things I love to do during the summer: eat fresh fruit, barbeque, go to the lake with my family!
ReplyDeleteLovin' how we get to meet all of the staff this month. What I love about summer is going for walks. Even if it just around the block, I love getting outside for some fresh air and sunshine.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful greeting post Carolyn, it's so much fun getting to "meet" the staff! I could totally eat Mexican food every meal too and am addicted to Diet Coke!
ReplyDeleteI love being able to play with my two little boys outside and see them run and giggle together. They adore the sprinkler!
Hello Carolyn, thanks for sharing and for giving us the chance to win a Clip it up.

I love going to the beach with the kids!
ReplyDeletehey what a great idea for jewelry but I have to say I would use it in my scrapbook room first! I love the sunshine hitting my face while I am floating in the boat on a lake somewhere!!
ReplyDeleteI love that you used the Clip it UP for your jewelry very clever. In the summer I love to go to the pool, a movie, or anything inside because living in AZ it gets mighty hot. Of course just staying home and scrapping is a lot of fun too. Thanks for a chance to win such a great prize.
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to love about Summer? I love watching my kids splash and play in their mini blow up pool :) They're so content in there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity! LOVE my clip it up :)
Love that you used the Clip it Up! for Jewelery. One of my favorite things to do in the summer is go to the beach. I call up all my siblings (there's 6 of us!) and we get all the nieces and nephews and do a big summer beach trip! It is super fun and super hectic. Now I don't have children of my own but I love to take pics of my nieces and nephews and scrapbook the memories for them. So fun!
ReplyDeleteI love spending time with my kids during the summer. It's great to do some crafting with my youngest who is 15. We all love baseball games swimming and music. It's a shame summers go by so fast! I treasure every moment I spend with my family. ---Cheryl P.
ReplyDeleteswimming if my choice of summer fun. And the watermelons are not bad either.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the storage idea! i already keep my jewelry on mine; however i see from the pic that you also have your headbands on the top. i have forever struggled to figure out a good storage solution for my head bands and other hair accessories.
ReplyDeleteWell so far this summer I have done a lot of cleaning out of storage and reorganizing my studio. I plan to spend the rest of the summer working on new projects :) No traveling in the near future for me.
LOVE THAT CLIP IT UP WOULD LOVE TO WIN IT THAT'S FOR SURE HOW COOL TO HAVE EVERYTHING IN ONE PLACE.
ReplyDeleteLIKE WHAT YOU DID WITH JEWERLY MY FAV THING IN SUMMER IS TO DIN OUT BY WATER WITH DH AND WALK ON THE BEACH.

ReplyDeleteIn the summer, I love BBQs, buying fresh fruit and veggies at the market and visiting family who live far away.
LOVE THE CLIP IT UP!!!!! Thanks for sharing. I love summertime ~ love to swim, watch my grandson play little league, cookout, beach trips and being lazy on Sat. mornings!

ReplyDeleteOooh, I know we can't all be winners, but PLEASE pick me! I *need* an upper tier for my mini! I am running out of space!!! *begging* I SO hope I am lucky enough to get picked!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Simply Renee!!
My favorite thing to do in the summer is paper craft in my air-conditioned craft room! It is all you CAN do in 110F Phoenix!!!
My favorite thing to do in the summer is sit in my rocking chair on my front porch, with the ceiling fan on high of course, and watch the birds, listen to the locusts and my wind chimes, look at the clouds and/or stars in the sky, talking to my dog and four cats, and eating fresh summer fruit.
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you! I would love to win!!
ReplyDeleteI like to get together with friends and family, and of course stamp and scrapbook.
My favorite thing to do in the summer other then going up to camp is watching the birds in the feeders and birdbath in our back yard. It is so relaxing to just watch them. Especially when you start to see the babies coming out exploring everything very sweet!! Of course when I am not doing that I am in my craft room being creative!!
ReplyDeleteLove how your jewelry is organized! One of my favorite things to do in the summer is enjoying spending time with friends and family. Of course, we enjoy scrap booking, card making, gardening and quilting together!!!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see the people behind the product. Love the clip it up!
ReplyDeleteFor summer fun we love to go camping! And I try to squeeze in some scrapbooking. Usually I only have time to organize over the summer. So the upper tier would be awesome to win!!
ReplyDeleteSummer=BBQ'ing dinner every nite and spending more time with the family outdoors
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post! My favorite thing to do in the summer is take half day Fridays and go to the beach! Thanks for the chance to win :)
ReplyDeleteI love the use of the upper tier for bracelets! that is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI love to sit outside on my patio with a cold drink and a good book during the summer.
ReplyDelete...my favorite thing to do in the summer is to sit outside under our deck on the hot days with my Devon Rex cats, who by the way, stay in our fenced in yard as they watch the birds. I then get my copic pens out and enjoy the weather while working on my stamped projects so I can turn them into cards that I sell for Relay for Life. I am anxiously waiting for my mini clip up so I can display them better! Whoo-hoo!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the early mornings in the summer,I enjoy getting out into the backyard with the dogs before it gets too hot. I can read and be still while the neighborhood wakes up. It sets the mood for my entire day.

Hello Carolyn - it's nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteOoh, one of my very favorite summer hobbies is tending my herb and tomato garden. Home grown always tastes so much better! :)
Cheers,

What a great idea using your CIU for jewelry! I need to do that!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE summer because of all the fun festivals. I can't get enough of them!!
Just discovered this amazing company. Now I can organize my favorite hobby, card making and all the accessories (ordered the ribbon holder). My favorite summer pursuit is camping, though not when it is over 100 as it was today in northern Calif. Also love all the fresh fruits and veggies of summer (9 tomatoes on my largest tomato plant!). Oh,and one more, homemade ice cream!
ReplyDeleteOh how I would love to have this. Thanks for the opportunity. Social Security doesn't think I should craft!!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite summer thing to do is go to the lake with my kids and play in the sand and water (and fit in scrapbooking when there is time)!
ReplyDeleteThe upper tier is awesome!
ReplyDeleteMary Smith
