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 am so grateful for my family. I had a play date with my grandchildren Saturday, and the love I get from them is warms my heart.
Hi Anna & AG Team!
I’m so very thankful for Jesus Christ. Without His birth, life, death on the cross & Resurrection from the dead, I would not have any hope for eternal life with Father God. I thank Him everyday for the gift of life eternal😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I’m so grateful for my son Richard who is looking out for me everyday. He moved in with me when my husband passed away now 12 years ago. His generosity has kept me from moving out of my home. He does all the yard work and everything else I can no longer do. I love my home and my son. God Bless
God Bless you all!!!
While I was unable to fully participate in Create this year (knee replacement – took more out of me this round!), I’m thankful that I was able to watch some of the live classes, such a positive, upbeat group that has me raring to get back in the “saddle” asap!
