Hello Griffinites,
Can you believe that Create 9 was almost a month ago? We have loved your feedback and thank you notes! and we think that this just might have been our very best event yet.
During our weekend together, we focused on happiness, acknowledging each other as family and creating in perfect harmony. The beauty of being surrounded by a chosen community of likeminded people is amazing to behold. We want to say thank you to everyone who shared in the Create experience with us this year.
Let's take a walk down Create 9 memory lane.
We started out on the right foot with our Craft Happy Event on October 23rd featuring inspirational speaker, Buck Davis. He took us through a conversation about the positive impact that crafting has on us emotionally, the benefits of crafting and so much more!
We kicked Create 9 off with incredible written words by our resident poet, Penny!
Anna welcomed all attendees to the 9th Annual Anna Griffin | Create! We always love seeing our co-host, Robin and "instant crafting replay," Sara too!
One of our favorite things about our virtual events is that we get to know members of our crafting family and how they incorporate creativity into their lives.
We met Laqueta and were able to see her beautiful family. Her mother-in-law got her into crafting, and she has been creating full speed ahead!
It's so much fun to learn more about crafters like Deepa, and the great work that she is doing in her local community.
Crafters from 49 states, Canada and the UK joined us during the event!
We chatted with Claudia all about crafting. Just look at her gorgeous craft room, and how perfectly she and Anna coordinate.
Dr. Rhonda Moore Jackson was such a joy and inspiration. Her smile lit up every screen!
Seeing your posts and projects absolutely made all of the hard work worth it! Hello Jeanne and Shannon!
We adored seeing pictures of your furry crafters too! Hello Sharon and Molly!
Paris green was perfect for kitty!
Carolyn and her dog were so sweet to see!
Paper crowns are for everyone, even Fang!
Your crafting interpretations are amazing to witness. Hello Pam!
One of the key things that crafting does for all of us is evoke happy memories of friends and family.
There's nothing quite like the pride you feel when you create something beautiful.
The bounty of Create 9 was certainly a feast for the eyes.
Seeing your finished creations is the gift that keeps on giving!
We had a blast seeing all of the unique creations made with the incredible tools and materials from Create 9.
We couldn't leave without a few behind the scenes photos now could we?
We are so thankful for our virtual events and how they uplift and inspire. Connecting people through creativity is what we are all about!
Our next event, Create Crop at Home 4 will take place May 3-5, 2024. We hope that you can join us for an event that is sure to be beautiful in the making. Be sure to tell us your favorite part about Create 9 in the blog comments.
We love you so much!

Create 9 was a real highlight in my life! I loved all of the classes and had a great time making a merry mess in my craft room. Thank you, Anna, for including me in the mix.
Create9 was off the charts! I’m still creating all the things. Working on the scrapbook calendar for my daughter and son in love using the dies from Create 9 and CAH3. Looking forward to CAH4, it’s my birthday month in May!
Loved looking back. I had a great time with create 9.
Create 9 was definitely fun. Even though I was under the weather during the event, I did enjoy watching the demos. And I most definitely enjoyed the Craft room at the end of the first 2 days. I can still chat away when under the weather. It is so much fun to meet and chat with like-minded people. Thank you, Anna, for bringing us all together.
Happy Crafting!
