ADORNit are a manufacturer of paper crafts, wood décor and quilting fabric, as well as a distributor of unique boutique finished items. In 1985 Carole McMullin, founder of ADORNit, published tole painting books and found women painting her patterns and then cutting them out to use in scrapbook layouts. She saw a great opportunity to create a business to provide unique fresh art on paper for people to preserve their family memories. Carolee then started the company, ‘Carolee’s Creations’, which was one of the first pioneering companies in the scrapbooking industry.
Expanding her business became a reality when she changed the company name to ADORNit and in 2009 began designing and manufacturing her own original quilting fabrics. ADORNit was the first company to offer coordinating scrapbook paper and quilting fabric.
Carolee’s family grew along with her business, and her three daughters Georgana, Alison and Jackie, collectively known as the ‘ADORNit Girls’, have become integrated into the business from a young age, making it a real family affair! “Family has always come first, there is nothing better then working alongside my sisters and mom everyday,” the youngest daughter, Jackie said.
Commenting Carolee McMullin said: “ADORNit is run by a team of talented women. When you choose us, you can be assured that the ADORNit Girls are part of the whole journey. From designing the original hand-drawn art, making unique projects, and quality product, ADORNit has the customer in mind.”
Bringing you four new guest presenters; Georgana Hall, Alison Lindhart, Jackie Berryhill and Ross Mcmullin, join ADORNit this Monday 25th July at 2PM and 8PM, and Tuesday 26th July at 8AM and 1PM on Create and Craft!
