Hi everyone,
This week’s Fan Mail Friday is full of heart, hope and the incredible beauty that only handmade creations can bring. Each envelope we opened brought something special—your stories, your kindness and your thoughtful, heartfelt works of art. We’re so grateful for the time, effort and love that you pour into every card and letter. Let’s celebrate together the amazing ways crafting connects and uplifts us all.

We shared a special tribute to longtime Griffinite Mary Huff, who passed away on May 21. Her dear friend David Weisman sent a lovely card and let us know just how much Fan Mail Friday meant to her. Mary’s joy, creativity and butterflies will forever be part of our community.
The A Team from Chicago joined in with fun and flair! Mary Beth sent a beautiful card and clever clamshell-style card box that gave us a chuckle and amazed us with its design. We just love seeing all of the ways that you can create with Lian!
So, so pretty!
Helen created a fashion-forward armoire card with tiny wardrobe accents— she truly has crafting superpowers!
Pam shared a tropical-themed card and an incredible 3D paradise dog train filled with treats. She creates up to 200 cards a month for military and healthcare heroes. We are blown away by your generosity, Pam— thank you for all you do!
These bright, paradise icons and colors have us daydreaming of beach vacations!
We cannot get over how cute this is!

Anna recently had the privilege of joining Jana Short on her inspiring podcast, Oh, My Health...There Is Hope! It was a heartfelt and honest conversation where she opened up about overcoming self-doubt, learning to receive love and how creativity has deeply shaped her life. They explored how her childhood and love for crafting, especially handmade cards, played a transformative role in her personal journey. We hope listening will inspire you to embrace your own creativity and the love that surrounds you. A big thank you to Jana for creating such a warm, meaningful space to share!
Love,
Anna

So many incredible creations. Making the Armour a stationery gift what a brilliant idea. Turning 2 pieces of paper into a gift box. So stunning! A 3D train, oh my, that could be used for every holiday!!
To Mary Huff’s family and friends, I am sorry for your loss. Hold tight to your memories. God bless you.
Happy Crafting!
What a lovely and heartfelt Fan Mail Friday!
I have to admit I laughed out loud when you showed the hairball cat toy. Fireball is my Saturday evening guilty pleasure. Thanks for the giggle!
What a wonderful FMF!! I know Mary will be missed by many! The creativity of the Griffinites is always amazing. I loved making the armoire. Dollhouse type things are my happy place.
Oh Ms. Mary you will be missed. Much love and prayers for you and your family. So many unique ideas this week! I especially love the train and the armoire. I am making an armoire for my granddaughter’s birthday and I absolutely love the armoire’s feet! Great ideas everyone!
Heartfelt thoughts & prayers to friends of Mary Huff. 😇🙏🏼
I love the train with seashell rims. And of course all of the beautiful mail sent.
