Fan Mail Friday- May 16th, 2025

Hi friends,

One thing that we love most about this community is how we can hold each other up and surround each other in good times as well as hard ones. It is such a beautiful thing to see, and we just love the amount of support that is found in the amazing people in the Griffinite community.

We say that our Create events are the very best thing that we do, and the cards and letters that we received today are a perfect example of how meaningful they really are. From pure enjoyment and creativity to giving yourself time away from jobs and even caretaking— Create is a respite as well as a super feel good, creative conference.

Come read the mail with us!

Patti called Crop at Home 5 "much needed crafting therapy". She sent us this lovely Carte Noire card to tell us about how her 93 year old mother passed recently and getting her estate settled was a lot. Now that CAH5 is over, she is going to partake in some self care in the form of travel. Now that's a great idea!

It isn't one of our Create events without a wonderful, heartfelt poem from Penny. Penny wrote to say that she really enjoyed the creative weekend that we had together, and she even sent us a beautiful Lian card!

We are sending the biggest hugs to our friend Victoria. She has been such an anchor in her family with the caretaking that she does and has done for the past 5 years. She wrote to tell us that on May 2nd, Victoria lost her husband Jim and our truly hearts break for her. She wrote to say that by Sunday she tuned in to watch the Crop at Home finale and to be surrounded by our beautiful community. She is on to a new chapter, and we will all be with her every step of the way!

We want to thank all of you for being a part of something wonderful with us. It's magical to see the support, friendships and love that radiates out from this community. There's nothing quite like chosen family.

If you would like to send something in to us for Fan Mail Friday,  you can mail it to us at 99 Armour Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30324. We look forward to showing off your beautiful cards, letters and projects, and we love hearing about the things happening in your life.

Until next week!

Love,

Anna
