As many of you who regularly read our blog know, Kalyn Kepner has been working full-time for
Paper Crafts magazine as an editorial intern since May 2008.
During the time she’s been here, Kalyn has worked on a number of important projects for us, including writing articles, helping us sort through project submissions, assisting us in preparing for this year’s World Card Making Day on Saturday, Oct. 4, and doing a wide variety of other important tasks.
Not only has Kalyn been a hard worker who’s been fun to work with and who has brought a lot of paper crafting experience and ideas to the table, but she’s become a good friend to many of us who have worked with her, as she has a friendly, outgoing, energetic and positive personality.
Since Kalyn’s internship ends this Thursday and she’ll be heading off to complete her last year of college, I thought you all might enjoy reading what all of the other Paper Crafts team members had to say about their experience working with Kalyn:
Kimberly: Professionally, Kalyn has been a big help to the Paper Crafts team, and has been willing to help out with whatever we’ve needed whenever we’ve needed it. She takes a lot of pride in her work, and is also a quick learner. I will miss working with Kalyn because she is a lot of fun to be around, is always optimistic and kind to others, and is really passionate about paper crafting. I know she will accomplish great things in her life, and certainly wish her the best in her last year of college, and in all of the other adventures she has planned for the future!
Stacy: I will miss her enthusiasm and cute smile! She was willing to take any assignment no matter how big or small and she did a great job, too.
Cath: I will miss Kalyn’s willingness to try absolutely everything here in the office! Good luck Kalyn!
Brandy: On a personal note, I’ll miss casual lunch-time conversations and crafting with Kalyn. On a professional note, I’ll miss Kalyn’s impeccable writing, fabulous product knowledge, and entertaining comments in meetings. Kalyn, thanks for all you’ve done for our team and best of luck in all your future adventures!
Susan: Kalyn is a real go-getter and a talented paper crafter! I totally admire her for deciding that she wanted to intern for Paper Crafts this summer and making it happen! Kalyn and I have had good times in the studio with Stace and learning from the masters like Cath and Kelly. Though I have only known her for a brief time, I know that I am going to miss her Panera-loving, Sex and the City-watching fabulous self! Best of luck, Kalyn!
Kelly: What impresses me most about Kalyn is her passionate dedication to our magazine. Not many 20 year olds would abandon the comforts of their hometown (friends, family, favorite mall) to serve a two-month internship in a state they’ve never been to. But Kalyn is not like most 20-year-olds…She’s fully embraced her role as an intern and jumped right into any assignment we threw her way – which were many! I’m going to miss her sunny personality, tenacious work ethic, and unwavering love for anything paper-crafted. She’s even inspired me to organize all my supplies and start creating again!”
Neko: What I will miss most about Kalyn:
Smart, appropriate input with regard to each magazine and special issue.
Cute style and fun personality.
Good morning greetings to all of us individually.
Hearing about how she got around Utah without wheels. And more importantly how she got home. Such an adventurer.
Brenda: I'll miss Kalyn's willing attitude and friendly personality. She is always lots of fun to be around and a great help.
Best of luck to you, Kalyn! We will miss working with you!
Kimberly
