against my creative energy. Without my family, none of this would be possible.” Laura connects everything together with her faith. “My faith is at the very center of what I do and I’m so happy to have been able to weave God’s Word into many of our products. It makes me hopeful that they provide inspiration and joy.” Like a piece of clay waiting to be shaped into being, Laura is in great anticipation of what the future holds and as with all things, Laura can’t help but intertwine the future of Coton Colors with her family’s journey. “It’s exciting for me to see how my daughters are taking part in the company, and I can’t wait to see where their ideas and the events of their lives will take us.” Ultimately, her hope is that customers, employees, family and friends are inspired to celebrate their own unique journey, create timeless traditions and recognize that added all together it truly is a wonderful life. Laura beams when she says, “Every Christmas I imagine all of the families who are opening up gifts from Coton Colors and the joy that they are bringing makes my heart sing.” Bringing hope, wonder and joy into someone’s life is the best gift, and as Laura has learned, this is a gift to be shared and celebrated one precious moment at a time.
