Fan Mail Friday- June 12th, 2026

Hi Crafters,

Happy Fan Mail Friday! This is always one of our favorite times of the week because it gives us the opportunity to connect with all of you and celebrate the creativity, kindness and inspiration that make this community so special. This week was filled with heartfelt notes, beautiful projects and a few unexpected surprises that brought so many smiles.

Next, we heard from Donna in New York, who was one of the lucky winners during an AGTV Summer Stories giveaway. Donna created a beautiful thank-you card using the Summer House Easel Die Set and coordinating Summer House Cardstock. We love seeing our giveaway winners enjoying their prizes and putting their creativity to work. Summer is officially here, and Donna's card was the perfect reminder of the season's cheerful spirit.

We also received a delightful creation from Sharon in Pennsylvania, affectionately known as "Cousin Sharon." Sharon crafted an adorable Jasmine postbox card complete with a special letter and photos of her beloved rag doll cat, Nico. Her note reflected on her wonderful experience at our Create event and shared how much she enjoyed the techniques, projects and friendships she made along the way. Thank you, Sharon, for sharing both your creativity and your treasured furry family member with us!We received an extraordinary package from Susan in California. Susan shared a beautiful Floral Lattice card complete with a gorgeous beach scene and starfish! She wrote in detail about her fascinating career as a costume designer. Her thoughtful gift included a book featuring the breathtaking paper sculptures and wearable art of Isabelle de Borchgrave, an artist we have long admired. Susan's gift sparked wonderful memories of seeing Isabelle's work on exhibit and inspired dreams of future creative adventures. It also served as a reminder of the incredible talents and life experiences represented within our crafting community. We love learning more about each of you and the unique journeys that bring you to crafting!

Thank you to Barbara, Donna, Sharon and Susan for sharing your stories, your creativity and your hearts with all of us this week. Every letter, card and project helps strengthen the bonds of this wonderful community. We are grateful for each and every one of you.

If you've been thinking about sending a card, letter or project, we'd love to hear from you. Your story may inspire fellow crafters across the country, and you never know whose day you might brighten. Thank you for being part of this beautiful creative community. We can't wait to see what arrives in next week's mail.

I always love to see what beautiful things fellow Griffinites create! What a fancy Summer House card!
My favorite “summer house” address was at Newport Beach/ Balboa Island, CA. We used to rent places for family vacations when I was a little girl.

Thank you for the introduction to Isabelle De Borchgrave’s art. I watch a video about her and I enjoyed her creativity.
