Hello crafters,
We are still in awe of the amazing time that we had together during this year’s Crop at Home 3. Two thousand of you joined us for an unforgettable weekend of crafting, community and friendship! We thought that it would be fun to highlight a few of our favorite parts of Crop at Home 3 for you since it was such a memorable weekend!
As with all of our events, we approach each with an attitude of gratitude. We are so grateful to all of you who decided to join us during the event and all that you did to make it happen! This paired with our intention of being loving, caring and creative set the mood for a beautiful event. Our platform allowed all participants to post projects, share social media posts, interact in state groups and meet up to create in our virtual craft room.
We created 20 AMAZING pages over 3 days, and we were each on a personal mission to make memories together and memorialize our own personal histories. From our lovely opening poem from Penny to each of our wonderful testimonials, live guests and attention to detail, we know that everyone enjoyed the Crop at Home 3 event!
Take a look at some CAH3 highlights!
Before the event there were lots of meetings, tests and preparation!
Each May these gorgeous New Dawn roses bloom by Anna’s kitchen window. When we see flowers, we know it’s time to scrapbook for Crop at Home!
It was so much fun to see you anxiously awaiting your Crop at Home boxes this year!
Anna, Robin and Sara loved these fascinators sent for the CAH3 festivities!
Day 1 was all about Annalise and the beautiful, colorful florals. Here are some of the photos from the event!
The layouts created are so fantastic!
The Tex Annas had the crafting spirit!
We love, love LOVE seeing your fur babies participate in the events!
From mothers and daughters to sisters and friends, we had so much fun seeing how you created together!
These borders were one of your favorite techniques!
Sometimes it takes a Create event to realize how small the world is! Our friend Pam (pictured above with her sister Michelle) was a cheerleader for a rival high school football team near where Anna grew up. This fun fact was discovered during a live guest segment!
The Leroux family (pictured above) was with us once again! There was no shortage of fun, celebratory hats this year.
Your amazing memories are the reason that we do our yearly scrapbook events.
We were all smiles after 3 days of scrapbooking our hearts out!
This was the most epic Crop at Home to date. Our bi- yearly events are such a great way to get an incredible collection of tools and materials, connect with our crafting community, expand your creative skills and be proud of what you can accomplish.
Our next crafting event is Create 9, and it will take place Friday, November 10th through Sunday, November 12th. Tickets are on sale now on our website! We are hard at work to bring you another remarkable crafting event. Nothing lets you know what to expect from our events like your fellow crafters’ 5 star reviews! Thank you to those of you who have posted one! In the comments, tell us your favorite part of this year’s event!
Love,
Anna

These were some of the most beautiful papers and techniques to date!!!! Love crop at home and making it available for so many. Thank you from the bottom of my crafting little heart
I am still bursting at the seams for this amazing time we had thanks to Annie first and also Martha Frischknecht! We had a wang dang doodle of scrappin time!!!
I love that Anna’s CREATE events give me something to look forward to. Knowing that boxes full of beautiful will be showing up at my home that I can play & create with brightens my life & allows me to brighten the lives of others too. Reminds them all how important they are to me & how much they are loved by me. All of these pretty pages full of beautiful records of memories are frozen forever in time & will be around long after I am gone for future generations to enjoy & read about their ancestors. It is nice to take these GORGEOUS scrapbooks off of the shelf & flip through them & remember the good times especially when you are heart broken, sick, struggling or missing someone. Reminds me that every little thing is going to be all right, that I am LOVED & strong & I’ll get through whatever has me down & helps me move forward. Life goes on. Good times are right around the corner. I like the idea of leaving important pieces of my love, my heart & my mind full of memories around in my creations. If I do not write it down & tell the stories of my memories they will die with me.
It is so uplifting to be in the company of others who share my same creative paper crafting passions too, even if it is virtually in the comfort of our homes. It is much easier & less expensive than traveling, lodging, eating out & hauling everything we like to use & need to some other location. We can be with our pets & our loved ones. Be comfortable, dress how we want, do what we want, when we want, how we want. I like the creative freedom of it all. I can go back & re-watch the video recordings of it all any time I want if something comes up or if I missed or can’t remember something. No packing or unpacking, no baby sitters needed, no pet sitters needed, no stressful anxious episodes, no parking lots, airports, taxis, rental cars or gratuity to deal with or pay for either. Anna & her team take care of every little detail & plan out the whole thing for us all. It is so worth the asking price & then some. I am so thrilled with this BIG beautiful Carte Noire box to store it all in too! The BIG warehouse sale afterwards is SO GREAT! I save up for it for months ahead of time. That is the best time to purchase your ticket for the next Create event (amongst other things). Wink wink. I loved Anna’s Create Crop At Home 3 box so much I purchased a second one at the amazing after sale that included printed step by step instructions & I also purchased an additional Create Crop At Home 2 box from the previous year at a deep discount as well. Scrapbooking is SO MUCH FUN & so important. Even if you are not a scrapbook fanatic you can use the contents to create cards & art journals too. Do whatever you wish, It is yours to do whatever you want to with. No crafting police will show up & tell you it is wrong or you are not doing it right or you can’t. I hope to see you at Anna’s next Create Event! HUGS YOU ARE ALL SO LOVED!👋👸💞💓💗🌸💐🧚♀️💖
CAH3 WAS GREAT! Now I’m going through withdrawal, I miss everyone already 🥺 I have been with you, Anna, for longer than I have been married (fyi I still have my first leather cave dress 🤣 ) you have been a big part of my crafting through time. You are ALL like family each and every Griffinite! My heart goes out to all of you and I wish only the best of joy, the best of love and the best of health to each in our community.
I will see you all again at Create 9, so put the top down and buckle up buttercup … it’s gonna be a fun ride!
NOW GET CRAFTIN’! 🙌
I was able to watch all of the amazing classes live but am waiting until my Mom feels better so we can make all of the gorgeous pages together. We will have our own mini Create…or perhaps Crop at Home Three, Part Deux. 😉 Seeing all of the pictures makes me smile and the finished pages are truly inspirational. Thank you!!
