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 grateful for a husband who supports me in all my endeavors….may it be in leading a gourmet group, participating in my women’s club or my card making activities which accounts for my need to buy ALMOST every Anna Griffin product there is! He gave me Create 2025 fir my 89th birthday and I thoroughly enjoyed the 3 days….I do have many projects left to finish.
I’m grateful for my family. As I look around, no matter what is going on within our government that affects the people, everyone is spreading joy, helping one another, and giving from their hearts.
After slipping on some wet pavers in late June and suffering an ankle fracture with 2 badly sprained knees and hips, I am so grateful for the physical therapists who have helped me to greatly improve… I can stand and walk and have gained so much lost muscle function! Hurray!👏🏻👏🏻
So many things for which to be grateful. It was pouring rain last night, but I woke up warm and dry and my basement didn’t flood.
I am grateful for being a part of the AG Community. It has helped me re-invent myself since retirement three years ago. If I had not met Anna and the community of crafters, I believe I would have been lost. Everyone in this community has inspired me to be a better person to myself and to others. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!
