This tradition has been going strong for nearly a decade, and it truly is one of the best things that happens here. We would love for you to share in the comments what you love most about Fan Mail Friday and how you would like to see it grow as we continue building this amazing experience together!
Watch the video:
Julie sent a gorgeous bordered Phoebe card and recommended the book The Correspondent by Virginia Evans, a story told through letters that celebrates the importance of written correspondence. She also shared her gratitude for being part of the Beautiful in the Making Circle and our 30 Days of Gratitude during Create, reminding us how meaningful those shared experiences truly are.
Sheila from Indiana sent a heartfelt letter and a beautiful pink card with double bow for us and one for the team before joining us live on AGTV for Shop Spring. She bravely shared how crafting has been her constant through unimaginable life changes, and how creating with her granddaughter has turned her safe place into a priceless bond across generations.
Sheila’s Jasmine fan card for the team was filled with warmth and gratitude, and her words are going straight onto the bulletin board because they remind us why we do what we do. Joan’s layered cards and creative projects show what happens when you shop your own craft room and rediscover treasures you already have, turning supplies into meaningful, joy-filled creations.
Joan from New York sent her very first Fan Mail Friday submission filled with original cards, layers, papers, and dies she rediscovered in her craft room. She shared her journey as a first-time Create attendee, how she found her confidence by day three, and how she is now stepping into courage, signing up for future events and even using her cookie box dies to create 20 Christmas boxes for her upcoming honey harvest as a new beekeeper.

Fan mail Friday is a wonderful way to enjoy the stories and creativity of this extraordinary community! I never miss it! I only wish I had more confidence in my style to mail things in… somehow Hello Kitty stationary just does not make the grade🤣 🤷🏼♀️🥰
I enjoy seeing all the love on FMF, both to you and from you. We all feel the love that is shared by you to us through our screens. I don’t know how long FMF has been going strong, but I do know I sent you my first card after you came out with your first Christmas card box kit. It really unleashed my creativity and confidence. And I have been creating treasures ever since then.
Happy Crafting!
I love FMF. I like to see the different levels of creativity and I appreciate that you praise all of your items with the same enthusiasm. I’ve especially enjoyed the letters and stories. They really connect your fans with each other and you too. As soon as I’m able I’ll get my letter written.
I love FMF. I love seeing our community expressing love and thanksgiving for all you do for us. I watch every week and can’t think of any reason it could be improved. We love you and seeing you weekly for FMF plus the classes and times you share yourself with us in frequent videos, helps us learn new techniques or reminds us of a technique we may have forgotten. I also love Create twice a year. These experiences bless us all.
Fan Mail Friday is one of my cherished times to visit with everyone in our Anna Griffin creative world (or I like to know it as my LaLa Land). Whether it is a few items or two videos full of goodness, it all shows me how much fun we can have with gorgeous papers and glue. I
say keep it as it is. It truly is Beauty in the Making. Bravo!
