Hi everyone,
It’s time for another heartfelt Fan Mail Friday, our favorite day of the week! There’s something so magical about opening your letters, seeing your cards, and feeling the love and creativity you send our way. These moments connect us in such a meaningful way, and we’re reminded just how powerful it is to share kindness through crafting. Whether it’s a letter full of joy or a card made with care, you inspire us and each other with every thoughtful detail.
Watch the video:
Sherry Dobis made a stunning framed card with a floral vellum layer and a heartfelt letter inside. She loved the event’s dual format, the crafting community and spending time with fellow Griffinites. Sherry even crafts monthly with a group of senior women in her neighborhood, spreading joy through card making.
Diane Brennan created a special card featuring a “Best Create Ever” trophy using our Antique Botanical Papercrafting Kit and the Alphabet Dies. It even had a stand! She said it was to help Anna visualize the intention behind each event—to make it the best ever—and included a touching recap of her experience.
Heidi sent in one of the class projects from Create and a beautiful letter. She shared her gratitude for winning a spot in the event and opened up about her personal journey and how comparison can sometimes hold her back. Her story was touching and so relatable, reminding us all of the importance of kindness and self-compassion.
Another Carol wrote to thank Anna for selecting her as a Craft Month box winner. Her beautiful flocked z-fold card with Compendium Dies was so beautiful and appreciative. She described a year of intense transitions and how receiving that box felt like divine timing. Her words were deeply moving, and she reminded us that every storm eventually brings flowers.
To everyone who wrote in— thank you. Your stories, your art, and your hearts are the heartbeat of this community. You inspire us every single day.
If you’ve ever thought about sending in a card or letter, we would love to hear from you! Fan Mail Friday is all about celebrating YOU— your talents, your stories and your incredible hearts. Joining this community means more than just crafting—it means creating meaningful connections and making beautiful memories together.
Send us something in the mail! You can send to 99 Armour Drive NE, Atlanta GA 30324.
Thank you for being part of our creative family. We’re honored to share this journey with you!
Love,
Anna

Fanmail Fridays are my favorite time of the week. I enjoy so much all the beautiful things that are sent to our sweet Anna. Anna, you are so loved and appreciated. Thanks for all of your inspiration!! Everyone have a wonderful weekend.
Beautiful Anna, I love sitting down every Friday morning and having breakfast with you and Fan Mail Friday. What a happy and inspiring way to start the day! All of these cards from the Griffinites are amazingly beautiful! I have to say, that Diane Brennan’s card “takes the cake”! Wow! Diane! Not only is your card SO BEAUTIFUL, but you have shown us another way to use this beautiful die that was meant to be used for dads! I love your creativity! I can’t wait to use it as a feminine birthday card, and a masculine birthday card! Thank you, Anna, for all that you do for us and for your love! Love you back!
So beautiful! Thank you all for sharing!
