I am so EXCITED to share some INCREDIBLE news with all of you!!!
Tim Holtz has asked me to design some projects for him for his booth at CHA later this month…
yeah…
this month…
as in just a couple of weeks!
Of course I said no…HA! Are you kidding! I was screaming YES at the computer so loud that I am sure he could hear me all the way in ARIZONA! I am SO honored to have him ask me! I truly admire not only his immense creativity and his amazing products, but I also admire how he runs his business and and his teaching! I can’t share what I am designing until after CHA but rest assured, I will be pulling out all the stops!
I am still planning all the projects for Ustream, Youtube, and the kits that I had planned for this month (Thank goodness we have been working and planning in advance!!). The Page of the Month class is still scheduled, however I am going to move the first class of the series to the weekend (Feb 4/5) after CHA in order to free up time to work on the stuff for T!m. I will have a post here on the blog with the details tomorrow. The kits will still go up for PRE-ORDER tomorrow as well.
Lastly, I have posted the winners of the Laura’s Favorite Things on my side blog. I have your shipping info if you have ordered a pattern or kit from me in the past. If not, please email me with your shipping info. The winners of the prizes from Scrapadabadoo.com are posted on their blog. It is a ridiculously LONG list so CLICK HERE to go to their blog for the list of winners.
I don’t think my feet are going to hit the ground for months!! I am so excited I am about to burst!! Once again, thank you to all of you for supporting and encouraging me! Come fly with me….it’s going to be a blast!

Heather aka momofcody
Laura, Congratulations, I can’t think of a more deserving person to have this happen to. Last night I sat and put all my Laura Denison Designs in a notebook, now I am going to take really good care of them as I will be able to say “I knew her when….”. I knew if someone with some clout saw your designs they would scoop that talent up. I am sure this is only the first of many, many good things to come for you and the Denison family. I am so looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Your brain must be on overload. LOL I am really happy for you and just as proud as though you were my sister.
Pam Davis

Congratulations Laura!!!How exciting, but I am not surprized, you are so super talented !! I cannot wait to see what wonderful projects you come up with…
OMG!!! That is wonderful Laura and he couldn’t have made a better choice!!!Congratulations, I am going to be biting my nails on this on:) what an honor it is to design for T H !!! This could be the begging of something huge, and I will add that he is just as lucky to have you, your talent is endless!! It’s funny cause you are always saying a year ago if someone would of told you that you would have this many people watching you you would of told them they were crazy well now look lol what if someone told you T H would ask you to design for him a year ago lol.
Congratulations Laura!! You must be over the moon?! Tim knows a good thing when he sees it. You are a marvelous artist and this is a well deserved honor. Now go have the time of your life!
Elaine Allen

Laura-Laura-Laura, I read your post and screamed to my husband right out loud. I admit he wasn’t near as excited as I am for, but he did get it a little. Laura, I am nobody, but PLEASE listen just a little tiny bit to what I am telling you. PLEASE don’t take on too much right now. This is OPPORTUNITY rewarding you for your talents. You MUST be available. Remember you said a year ago that you could not see yourself doing any of this… well here comes the next phase, because you really have a talent. Anyone that has spent any amount of time with you knows how much you deserve this. Tim Holtz is NO FOOL, and he knows exactly what he has stumbled upon. Truth is, where going to miss you… but honey you are on your way to your next life. You know what Tim says… ENJOY THE JOURNEY! Good Luck Laura!!!!! Muriel Charlonne
