Let’s catch up!

Anna,
Your friends, the Griffinte’s are so giving but then so are you. I would love to win a Create 10 ticket but am grateful for just having a chance to win.
Crafting has been a part of my life since early childhood. My mother taught me to embroider, sew, draw, cook, and encouraged me to pursue other craft forms on my own. I can’t imagine life without some form of crafting and rubber stamping is my absolute favorite. I have a circle of friends from church and we gather, usually once or more a month to spend a Saturday just making cards. It is our mini-vacation, our stress relief, friendship building and so much more. We support each other, teach each other new tricks, pray for each other…those crafting days are just filled with good stuff.
When we were young we loved the time we could “go play”. I spent hours making a home for my dolls or dreaming of unique combinations for different outfits for my Barbie’s to wear on whatever event I planned for them. It was a special treat when I was invited to a friends to play together – where we would make believe-building our adventures off each others ideas, share our toys and deepened our friendship. The very best times were those free afternoons spent at the playground, we went running hand in hand from the swings to the slide expanding our imaginations and abilities, where every child there (no matter the age, ability or background) became a friend and joined in the fun.
To me crafting is my playtime- my well stocked craft room provides me options to assemble supplies in creative ways to achieve the end result customized for the intended recipient and special event. Occasionally I invite a friend to join me where we share ideas and supplies and have the same opportunity to build our skills as well as our relationship. The Anna Griffin Crop at Home and Create Events are to me a trip to a new playground. It is jam packed with fresh and timeless products that enable me to explore and expand my abilities. Together we race through projects that spark my imagination (and frankly leave me just as happy and exhausted as those afternoons at the park). The greatest blessing though is not what we receive in those beautiful boxes, or even the successfully finished projects, but that for that magical time we are part of a community where every one no matter their age, ability or prior connections are offered a hand in friendship and invited to come and play along.
Although I may not be able to come to theAG playground this time- know that I can’t wait to see and hear all about it, and I share in your anticipation and wish you all a joy filled Create.
After listening to so many Griffinites talk so positively about how worthwhile Create is and meeting new associations with like-minded crafters, I finally charged my very first Create ticket this year.
I have a dear friend who loves to come craft with me and through the years we have made numerous scrapbooks for our children & grandkids. We love & enjoy Anna’s products so very much. We laugh, we share our ideas in card making and best of all, we plan who we will give our handmade cards to, so as to brighten their lives. In turn, it brightens ours! I would love gifting a special winning ticket to Create 10 to my special friend so, we can enjoy this new experience together and meet lots of others enjoying the same❣️ Thank you kindly for a chance at this opportunity.
All of your products are so beautiful and elegant. Thank you for all that you create.
I am touched by the members of this group giving tickets to Create is so generous and thoughtful. You are fulfilling people’s dream come true. I bow in reverence to you.🫂👌
