about us
Hi and welcome to Simply Cooper!
If you are reading this page then you've probably clicked on to find out what we're all about!
I'm Debbie and I'm the Owner/Creator/Designer/Chief Maker/Boss Lady/CEO of Simply Cooper. I'm also Mum, Step-Mum, Wife, Cleaner and General Runaround-er to a crazy bunch of humans that I absolutely adore the bones of and who I do all this for. I'm totally winging life and this whole running a business malarkey, every day is a school day as they say!
The story of Simply Cooper actually began 10 years ago in 2013 after I had my first son. Later that same year my husband and I sadly lost our second Son, Cooper, during pregnancy.
My personal journey has taken me to hell and back, but I've also since then been a huge advocate for spreading Baby Loss Awareness and breaking the taboo around the subject - I'm sure you will come across a few awareness items in our shop!
In 2017 we were lucky enough to be blessed with our Rainbow Baby - our crazy, whirlwind, non-stop 3rd Son!
Not to get into too much detail, but the past 10 years have been one hell of a ride with one thing or another and it's taken me a long time and a hard fought battle to beat my own demons and have well mental health.
One thing I did discover on my journey is that my coping mechanism is crafting, if I'm feeling overwhelmed with mum duties crafting totally chills me out. In 2021 Hubby bought me a Cricut and I suppose the rest they say is history!
One major goal I set in 2023 was to find a space suitable for Simply Cooper as I had quickly outgrown my dining room! I'm pleased to say I found the perfect space - my garden! Check out my blog page to see the build process for Simply Cooper HQ!
I run Simply Cooper alongside with my regular day job and around my kids so I'm usually unavailable on Thursdays and Fridays, but I will try my best to reply to any messages in the evenings.
Any questions, queries, custom orders, wholesale/bulk orders please contact me at [email protected]
2024 sees Simply Cooper starting fresh across all social media. I've archived ALL old content and have begun a huge rebrand with all new posts, templates and content! I just need to practice taking good quality photographs of my products - which is one of my New Years Resolutions!
I've ran Simply Cooper for over 2 years and I'm now able to see what works and what doesn't for us, I know what is important to me and my company and what is important to you as a customer.
I can now spend time and focus on our Visions, Values and Aims and in turn begin to make plans for the future! (...It's bright by the way!)
