Welcome to the Giving Back Blog Hop

You should have come from Amanda's Blog, if not please start at the beginning with Kat so you won't miss any of the great layouts.

After hopping you'll want to go to Erica's Facebook page and leave a comment.  We will be randomly selecting someone from those comments to win blog candy.

This blog hop is about giving back and saying thanks to our leader and hostess to My Cricut Craft Room, Erica 

         For my contribution to the album that was the idea and thoughtfulness of Laurie, one of our design team sisters, I made a layout using a picture of Erica's alter ego 'Secret Santa'.

         Christmas happens to be Erica's favorite holiday and if you follow her on Facebook or her blog you will quickly find out all about Secret Santa.  You never know when she will pop up with a game and or prize giveaway, but more than prizes Secret Santa has given more than she will probably ever know. She has lead us in her passion to give to others and I'm so grateful to have been included in her endeavers to contribute to our soldiers and to the children of St Judes.  She has given so many a place to come and share a love for the one thing we all have in common...crafting.

          We are from all over the world and even though everyone has a different story, lifestyle, young and old we have bonded as friends. Meeting Erica and this group has opened up my world to a whole new experience of crafting for me, not to mention the best support from some wonderful friends. 

           This is what 'Secret Santa' has given to me and I am eternally grateful.

Thank you Erica!

You inspire us all!
