Fan Mail Friday- February 20th, 2026

Hi everyone,

Oh my goodness, it is our favorite time of the week. We are wrapping up Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and the most incredible Griffinite group get-together, and our hearts are just overflowing. It is such a joy to hear from each and every one of you. Thank you for filling our mailbox with so much love and creativity!

Watch the video:


Socorro from Alabama mailed a mixed media, musical masterpiece with paper dolls, hand-painted details and tiny jeweled brooches. Her creativity is bold, expressive and full of heart.


Kris, who always stars in Fan Mail Friday, sent a sweet Valentine blessing and even followed up on last year’s toad card story. Her humor, generosity and loving spirit made this year’s surprise extra special!


Myrna from California shared an inspiring quote and her beautiful words about connection and community along with her lovely floral post box card. Her message reminded us that we are all pieces of the same ever-changing puzzle.


Coral, also from California’s Beautiful in the Making Circle, sent vintage classroom Valentines that brought back childhood memories. Her thoughtful gift was full of nostalgia and joy! How cute are these?

We received most extraordinary birdhouse from the Beautiful in the Making Circle event, hosted by Michelle Compton and Marie Fix. It was filled with handmade cards, tags and messages from every attendee, each one like a feather coming together to form one beautiful bird, and it completely overwhelmed us with love. We will be sharing more about it on a special blog this Sunday!

Every single card, letter, and gift this week reminds us why this community is so special.

You are not just crafting. You are connecting. You are encouraging. You are creating something meaningful that reaches far beyond paper and ribbon. If you have ever thought about sending in a card or letter, we would absolutely love to hear from you. Fan Mail Friday is all about celebrating you, your stories, your creativity, and your generous heart. Just choose to participate. That is where the magic happens!

Send your happy mail to 99 Armour Drive NE, Atlanta GA 30324.

Thank you for being part of this incredible creative family. We are so grateful for you and cannot wait to see what you make next.

Love,

Anna

I just love those antique Valentines, I have a few that my mom and dad kept from their younger days in the 1920 (wow over 100 years ago….those are so special and I have them in scrapbooks I made of my parent’s younger years. I was looking thru finishing school project and I saw the lanterns that were made from the Anna Griffin Honoka paper, would there be any chance of bring that back I am sure many of us would love to purchase that especially due to Chinese New Year comes every year. Also, if you brought it back it would be great to pair that paper with a kimono die set and/or lantern die sets, even dragon die sets or both. If you have any Honoku paper in your warehouse I would love to purchase a package or two ;)

What a beautiful collection of Love Notes..
Anna.
Would you please re-release the CAH5 Concentric diamond dies with the Concentric rectangles offered on the same sheet.
I ended up purchasing everything else after the event along with the instructions. Unfortunately, I missed out on the Diamond sheet.
Thank you, Kathy😻
