Hello friends,
We have a table full of beautiful cards, letters, stories, photos and more. We love that you choose to send us such special things, and we're glad that we can connect you and be a catalyst for the friendships, groups and community that we have today.
Buckle up, buttercup today's Fan Mail Friday is heartfelt!
Some of you might remember Cindi asking for Griffinites to mail cards for her mother, Anna's 104th birthday last fall. We are sad to hear about Anna's passing, but we are so glad that she and her wonderful daughter Cindi were able to craft and create together. It's amazing to hear about what we know was the most special relationship.
This is Donna's first Fan Mail Friday card! She wrote that she wasn't a scrapbooker, but attended our Crop at Home 4 event. Donna used the techniques and tips that she learned and has been applying them to card making; as seen below on her Phoebe frame card! She said that she appreciates the whole team, and the hard work put in to our products and events. You are so welcome, Donna!
Thank you for the amazing, 4th of July card Sheri! From the trumpets to the drums and the ferris wheel to the star spangled bunting, everything is celebratory!
We got to hear from Anne and the Illinois Griffinites! They are close to 60 members strong, and just had their 3rd crafting event together. In the letter, Anne wrote how she learned about Anna Griffin from her Aunt Karen, and how during the pandemic they crafted together at a safe distance. Since then she has attended all of the virtual events and creates lovely gifts for her family.
Jimmie Lynn made this incredibly fun bordered scrapbook page, complete with red, white and blue, a hot air balloon, stars and bows! Jimmie Lynn, we are so glad to hear that your husband is recovering and that your family has come together to support you both and manage your company. We are sending you nothing but love and hugs!
Your card goes to show how you can add lots of different elements together! This card uses the Ribbon Frame Dies, Stars Aligned Dies and Swing Out Dies. Excellent work!
Happy Fourth of July!

Loved all of the Fourth of July cards. I am a sucker for everything Halloween and everything for the July. I love the red white and blue. My husband of 44 years was a marine. He passed away so very sad. I miss him so much, but I love the red white and blue so much, happy fourth to everyone
It is great seeing the support of so many talented Griffinites on this weeks Fan Mail Friday. I also enjoy reading the comments too. Keep the cards and comments coming!
