Suzy's Crafts

Welcome to the Giving Back Blog Hop!  We wanted to give back to the person who has given so much to us! 

  

So, this is in honor of Erica from My Cricut Craftroom.  

 You should have come from Gayles blog. If you are starting at my blog, you will want to start with Kat’s Blog so you don’t miss any of the great layouts.   When you get done hopping, you will want to go to Erica’s Facebook Page  and leave a comment on her page.   We will be randomly selecting someone from those comments to win blog candy.

I first met Erica about 6 months ago on FB. Although I'd had my expression for about 2 years, she really helped open my eyes to all the possibilities available with the Cricut. Yes, she was giving prizes and that was what originally enticed me, but in a very short time, I met many wonderful crafty ladies who are so talented and I think of as friends. Erica being the one who originally arranged this and made me get off my duff and use my Cricut, create a blog and start sharing what I make.  LOL - that is very scary in the beginning, wondering how people are going to critique your stuff and seeing all the other amazing talent out there.Oh my goodness, she put me on her first Design Team I almost passed out from fright!( Erica did not take no for an answer)  But we got past that and now I could not imagine not being a part of this very talented group of ladies.

I finally met Erica in person at a Circle crop in Ohio. Yes, she even made the Circle sound so awesome, I had to have it. LOL And I have not regretted it yet. My family thought I was crazy going to meet someone off Facebook, but I met the best ladies there. Kat, Amanda, Emily, and Ricki.  We stayed up late into the night making crinkled ribbon(oh the mess) and learning so many new things. It was one of the best times I've had. 

This picture was taken as we were going into the Crop event. Yes,  Bella is a Circle member..I'm sure the youngest. :)  And she is such a sweet little girl. She was a pleasure all weekend and very well behaved.

Thank you Erica for the wonderful memories of that weekend. And thanks for all you have done since then. You are a true friend and I hope to be able to get together again soon. 

The next stop on the hop is Rosa's!

The entire lineup in case you get lost is listed below.
