Jenny Jones, Design Associate
A native of Durham with a beautiful daughter, Aliyah; a rabbit named Houdini; and a Doberman pinscher named Coco. Jenny currently works full time in the optical industry and part time here! She’s a free spirit, open to new people and new experiences, with a great deal of enthusiasm. She has the ability to retain a lot of useless information and truly enjoys Yahoo’s odd news. Jenny believes that laughter is the key to life. She has earned the nickname, “the drive-by scrapper,” because she can put together a project so quickly.

Tonya Krout, Administrative Diva
Since moving here a year ago, Tonya has been hunting for the best stores in the Triangle and immediately added Carolina Memories to her list on opening day.  Her two cats, Tinkerbell and Birdie, let her live with them because someone needs opposable thumbs. She has one room dedicated to crafting and sewing yet projects still sneak into other areas of the house. She plans to combine her interests in genealogy, bookbinding and writing to create family history scrapbooks for each of her nieces and nephews.

Fareeda Mater, Design Associate
Fareeda, a longtime Durham resident, comes to Carolina Memories with a background in business administration and three years’ experience running a family business. She has been a crafter for more than 40 years and has been creating handcrafted cards for the past three years. In fact, Fareeda is our resident “card-making diva in training” (CMDIT) as she keeps countless designs in mini-albums so she can recreate her favorite card designs. She is always learning new card-making and stamping techniques. Her other current craft project is discovering digital scrapbooking, which she is mastering little by little. Fareeda loves helping customers finish their projects, so don’t be surprised to hear her asking, “How may I assist you?” when you stop by.
