It’s me Carolyn

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!!!!

  3. Hi 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.

  6. What 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!

    I love being able to play with my two little boys outside and see them run and giggle together. They adore the sprinkler!

  13. I 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.

  15. 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!

  16. I 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.

  18. Thanks 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.

    Well 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.

  27. 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.

    I like to get together with friends and family, and of course stamp and scrapbook.

  29. 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!!

  36. I love to sit outside on my patio with a cold drink and a good book during the summer.

  37. ...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!

  38. I 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.

  43. 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!
