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!

My first Create. Loved, Loved, Loved it. Amazing people, supplies and all the preparation that went into the event. Took someone’s suggestion to just watch and enjoy the process. You can then go back and work with the videos. Still enjoying the classes. Thank you, Anna and staff. Happy Holidays.
I had so much fun during Create 9. I learned a whole new scope of items. So many of the items are prefect for gifts to special friends. Thank you all for the inspiration you so freely share. May God bless. Merry Christmas!
I’ve been to 2 Create’s and 2 Scrap at home and I have to say Create 9 was the best and over the top. I enjoyed my 3 days so much. I loved the projects and crafting along with everyone. I enjoyed listening to all the special guests and wanted to give them all hugs. Beautiful Event with Beautiful, caring and wonderful people. The supplies were wonderful too. So much thought and care put into the event. I thank each and every person who was involved in planning and creating the event. Hats off to all!
This was my first Create so I only bought day one because I didn’t think I was advanced enough for the other days.
I was so sorry I didn’t get the whole package.
I love being able to go back and watch instructions over and over if you need to.
Create 9 has been by Far, the most wonderful, beautiful and amazing event. The paper, the dies, the embellishment, were just outstanding. And meeting new people, who live close by too, was amazing as well. If I had to pick one favorite, it would be the Birthday cards. By February, I would have given them out, and would have to make more.. But getting a thank you from those receiving them, that makes my day!!
Thank you Anna and Team!! Can’t wait for CAH4 and Create 10!!!
