Fan Mail Friday- February 27th, 2026

Hi everyone,

Happy Fan Mail Friday, our favorite day of the week. This week is short and sweet, but filled with the most incredible stories. 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!

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.

As we head into National Craft Month in March, we are celebrating creativity and community every single day. There will be inspiration on social media, on the blog, and in our events. If you have been thinking about joining Create in May, this is your invitation to step into grace, courage, and love right alongside us.
