Today has been the bestest day. I had a class planned for the day, so thought I knew how the day was going to unfold......how wrong can a girl be. I always arrived at the shop, boot up my laptop and check my emails so that I can prepare a "to do" list for Karen before the class starts. There, in my inbox, lurking amongst all the junk mail, I spy an email from Tim.....not any old bod called Tim but Tim Holtz. The bestest bit is that he invited me to be part of his design team.....me....little 'ol me....in my teeny tiny shop, here in teeny, tiny UK. You cannot begin to imagine the excitement. I rang Mark at work to tell him, then I was willing Karen to arrive for work early as I was busting at the seems to tell someone. Then I emailed Linda E. who is nearly as excited as I am!!!!! Then I had to teach my class....which turned out fab, they all did an amazing job....I was so excited, I forgot to take pictures....I'm so sorry girls and thank you for sharing my excitement with me. It's my birthday next week.....this is the bestest birthday pressie ever!!!
I think I need to calm down now......poor Mark....what an evening he's going to have!!!

All I can say is'you deserve it'. You have always been at the forefront of the crafting industry in my eyes. I remenber, years ago, at a stampin show, maybe at the Armouries in Leeds, seeing you demo micro slide mailers and since that day have always been inspired by you creativity. Tim has just made a VERY good choice to join his team!!!!!! Well done !!!!! x

Can't wait to come on yours and Leandra's paperartsy weeekend in October (first one) to finally have some tuition from you :)

I can't think of anyone more qualified for a spot on Tim Holtz' design team than you. You work is amazing!!!!!! And you are one of the best demonstrators/tutors I have ever met, so he is lucky to be able to have you in his team!

No surprise there - your work is always stunning. Congratulations - what a great honour and well deserved.
Oh my goodness. I am truly ashamed to say I have only this morning "discovered" these wondrous pages which, from first to last, are testimony to the fact you are one hugely talented lady.
Heartfelt "Congatulations" Lin, to be chosen by The Master himself must truly be the icing on your creative cake. WOW!!!!!!!!!!
Have only just read this entry, several days late, but must add my congratulations to everyone else's. It's so well-deserved.
Great news .....all I can say is Tim clearly has excellent taste!
Well done.
