In addition, Carolee serves as a role model for young women, showing them that you can run a business and raise a family while doing what you love.<a href=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/vendors\/meet-road-2016-vendor-adornit\/attachment\/adornit-9\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4072\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-4072\" src=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Adornit-9-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Adornit-9\" width=\"584\" height=\"389\" \/><\/a>\nIn 1985, Carolee was just 23 years old and a new mom when she started her first business promoting decorative or \u201ctole\u201d painting. She taught classes and created patterns for tole painting books published by Provo Craft. When a set of twins arrived, Carolee started self-publishing her own books. As her family grew, Carolee was a stay-at-home mom who kept her small business going by continuing to write books. She tried to attend two conventions a year to meet her customers and outreach with her products.\nWhen her last child was born in 1995, Carolee became a pioneer in the new trend of scrapbooking. She noticed that there wasn\u2019t any clip art available to embellish photographs of special events in a person\u2019s life.\u00a0 So, using her folk art background, she created a CD-Rom of scrapbooking clip art. This led to starting her own scrapbook paper line, Carolee\u2019s Creations. Her designs and concepts revolutionized the scrapbook industry and eventually included stationary products as well.<a href=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/vendors\/meet-road-2016-vendor-adornit\/attachment\/adornit-1\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4070\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-4070\" src=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Adornit-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Adornit-1\" width=\"633\" height=\"422\" \/><\/a>\nIn 2004, Carolee wanted to get back in to the soft market with her art and began licensing fabrics along with her paper products. Incorporating words onto both paper and fabric has been very popular. Says Carolee, \u201cPeople want the inspiration that words give.\u201d\nToday, Carolee employs three of her daughters in the ADORNit business. Georganna serves as president overseeing sales; Alison is a designer; and Jackie works part time making samples. They continue to show how young women can add to their family\u2019s income while pursuing a creative outlet.\nADORNit uses trade shows to outreach to the public, letting them know who they are, what they represent and that they have good ideas. ADORNit\u2019s \u00a0future plans include expanding their fabric line while staying hip, relevant, and trendy in the design world. <a href=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/vendors\/meet-road-2016-vendor-adornit\/attachment\/adornit-3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4071\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-4071\" src=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Adornit-3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Adornit-3\" width=\"568\" height=\"379\" \/><\/a>To learn more about ADORNit, please visit their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adornit.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">website<\/a>.\n&nbsp;]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":4070,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[29,37],"tags":[60,322,676,1165,1314,1395,1405,1406],"class_list":["post-4069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-road-2016","category-vendors","tag-adornit","tag-decorative-painting","tag-licensing-fabrics","tag-scrapbook-paper","tag-tole-painting","tag-women-in-business","tag-word-fabric","tag-word-paper"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Adornit-1.jpg","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4069","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4069"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4069\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4070"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4069"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4069"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4069"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
