Hello friends,
It’s the first Friday in May, and you know what that means— a fresh month full of creativity, connection and the courage to try something new! This week’s Fan Mail Friday is brimming with beautiful cards, heartfelt letters and inspiring projects from across the country. Right now, we are starting our Crop at Home 5 weekend with thousands of Griffinites, and we are so excited for the creativity and connection that will take place over the next 3 days!
Here on Fan Mail Friday, we're thrilled to hear from new crafters, to hear about new Griffinite groups and to see that several of you experimented with new techniques and products this week. We’re loving the results! Your creations showcase the beauty of handmade artistry. Whether you’ve been crafting with us for years or just started last week, you belong here— and your creativity matters!
Let's read the mail!
Nora made this absolutely beautiful card featuring the Paper Dress Dies, Sewing Cut and Emboss Folders and the prettiest pink and green patterns. She won during our Member's Only show, and is loving her prize. Thank you so much for the lovely card and sweet treats!
This card is so gorgeous! It's all in the details.
There's nothing like the friendships that have grown here over the past 31 years. We're so lucky to know Donna Lee, and this card means the world to us! We love how members of this community lifts us up and encourages like no other! Donna Lee made the most wonderful Salon Nouveau card and spectacular, monogrammed tea towel. We're excited to see where Sew Donna Lee goes!
Charolette is feeling lucky! She won both a National Craft Month box and our Crop at Home 5 event! This is her first card to Fan Mail Friday, and her very first Crop at Home event! She found us in 2016 and never looked back. Charolette, we hope you enjoy the experience immensely and we are so glad that you are joining us!
The inside is just as pretty as the front!
Our friend Benji is also thanking us for her win during National Craft Month! She loves what we create here, and can't wait for what the rest of 2025 holds. Your Ribbon Edge Dies card pairs beautifully with the Quotes and Flowers embellishments!
There’s something so special about seeing how each of you uses your creativity to make something meaningful, whether it's for a celebration, encouragement, or simply to say hello.
We always say that crafting is better together. So, if you’ve been thinking about sending in a card or note, consider this your official invitation. We’d love to hear from you; let’s be friends! Send your fan mail to us at : 99 Armour Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30324.
Until next week! Keep creating, keep connecting and most of all— keep being you!
Love,
Anna

Crop@Home 5 seems so far away as I had out of town guests for 2 weeks and my house was filled with the joy and delight of my 2 Great Nieces aged 4 and 3 quarters and one.
Everything is lovely.
Happy Crafting!
Beautiful projects everyone. I love all of the projects it is a great sort of inspiration for all of us in the community. Everyone have a great week and may God bless you all. Thank you Anna and Team for the fantastic experience this weekend with Crop at Home 5. Cannot wait for Create 11 to be available hopefully.
