I’m
Georgana Hall, president of Adornit and Carolee’s Creations. I grew
up in the craft industry, as my mom included me in all aspects of her
tole and decorative painting business—creativity, design, tradeshows,
and teaching. I guess that’s why it’s no surprise I work full-time
beside my mom and do a little bit of everything here at company headquarters.
My grandma started my scrapbooking addiction when I was twelve years old.
She bought me scissors, templates, cardstock, page protectors, and a binder.
Every summer I would go to stay with her for a week and what would we
do? Shop and scrapbook. The pages I did back then are, of course, ancient,
but I never want to re-do them because I can go back and remember when
and where I scrapbooked them (and I can almost guarantee we were sipping
Diet Pepsi). Not only are my pages precious, but also the memories of
me assembling them with my grandma. Thank-you grandma.
As I scrapbooked, my mom noticed that my scrapbook supplies were very
plain. She sketched some designs for papers and stickers and took them
to a local printer. Everyone who saw them loved them and wanted some for
their scrapbooks. So Carolee published a catalog, attended scrapbook industry
trade shows, and her scrapbook company was launched. I was by her side
every step of the way.
I have been married for three years and I’m a mom to a darling one-year-old
boy, Boston . We have so much fun together. As a family we enjoy spending
time together, camping, four wheeling, and traveling.
