Samantha's Cricut Creations 1st Anniversary blog hop

Welcome to Samantha's Cricut Creations 1st anniversary blog hop!

If you have just hopped on the tour, please go to Samantha's blog at http://www.samanthascricutcreations.blogspot.com to start at the beginning. If you have arrived from Mallika's, www.missnotsogoodwithwords.blogspot.com you are in the right place.

The hop theme today is crafty anniversary. I took me awhile to decide on what to prepare to celebrate Samantha's first anniversary with her blog. And what a fantastic blog it is, I might add! She has so many great ideas and has come a long way in the past year with her blog. So, I finally decided on a HUGE shout out to her for her special day. Hope you enjoy and Congratulations Samantha!!
