Hello friends,
As we gather our hearts and crafting supplies this Thanksgiving season and beyond, we are reminded how powerful it is to pause and give thanks. Gratitude changes everything— it deepens our joy, brightens our outlook and connects us to one another in the most meaningful ways.
During Create 2025, we crafted something truly special: our Gratitude Journals. These books were designed not just as beautiful keepsakes, but as daily companions, a place to reflect, record and celebrate life’s blessings, big and small.
Now, we'd love for all Griffinites (whether you attended Create or not) to join together for a new tradition: 30 Days of Gratitude, beginning today, November 17th.
Each day, we will be posting a short video sharing something we're thankful for. You’re invited to join us by posting your own notes, photos or videos of gratitude on social media using #AG30DaysOfGratitude. If you made a Gratitude Journal during Create, this is your chance to fill its pages with heartfelt reflections. If you didn’t, you can still participate with any journal, notebook or make your own Gratitude Journal. What matters is the spirit behind it!
Let’s celebrate the beauty of giving thanks together. Whether it’s a cherished person, a joyful memory or creative moments that fill your days, your gratitude will inspire others to find their own.
There is also a special place within the Create Event Platform where attendees can share entries and photos of their Gratitude Journals, but remember this is for everyone! Our creative community shines brightest when we come together in generosity and love.
Let’s fill the season and our feeds with thankfulness, one day at a time.
Love,
Anna

I’m grateful for my four children nine grandchildren.
I am grateful for my wonderful husband for 45 years. I appreciate all the love and support of our BeautifulintMCircle CA gives to us all year long, not just at the Creates. I am so grateful to Anna for giving me crafting and card making to fill my life in retirement. I am very blessed.
I am grateful for my Savior who has given me support always when grieving the loss of my grandsons. So grateful for my family that I will be able to share the holidays and count our blessings!! 🥰🌸
I’m so blessed to be married to a great guy who I’m grateful for everyday.
I am SO grateful to be alive! Longer opportunity to prepare for Heaven, I hope. Stroke right next to my brainstem tried to undo my plans, #3 stroke, but I am now walking, talking, need very little care, and I thank GOD for every breath I take! I could go on about it forever, but I will save more for tomorrow…
