Fan Mail Friday- October 9th, 2026

Hi everyone,

Happy Fan Mail Friday! Today, our hearts are full of gratitude for this wonderful crafting community. Every beautiful card, thoughtful letter and heartfelt story reminds us that crafting is about so much more than paper and embellishments. It's about friendship, encouragement and the special connections we make along the way!

We are getting so excited for Create 2026, November 13th, 14th and 15th! Our Create boxes will be shipping soon, and we can't wait to welcome everyone to our private platform. This event brings our creative family together for days filled with inspiration, learning and friendship. There is still time to join us, and we would love to have you!

Now, let's open some beautiful happy mail!

Marie from California sent an adorable Halloween card featuring a little gate, fancy die-cut edges and lots of spooky charm! She shared her excitement for fall crafting, making paper pumpkins and reuniting with her Beautiful in the Making Circle friends at Create.

AND a hidden note!

Leavonne from Washington sent a beautiful thank-you card with a coordinating decorated envelope! She combined rub-on transfers, stickers and lovely embellishments to create something truly special. Leavonne was one of the recipients of our Create 2026 birthday ticket gifts, and her heartfelt gratitude touched our hearts. We're so excited that you'll be joining us for an event you've dreamed of attending!

Stella from Colorado sent a lovely card thanking Anna and Heather for inviting her to be a guest on AGTV. She shared a touching memory of her mother, Anna, whose love of sewing and crafting continues to inspire her, and we are so excited that Stella will be joining us at Create for the first time.

Jane from Arizona sent a wonderful postcard all the way from Scotland! She shared memories of visiting Midhope Castle, famous for its connection to Outlander, and the incredible experience of staying nearby. What a fun way to take us along on her travels!

Ginger from Texas sent a beautiful dimensional card made with our Fairytale Scenes collection. At 87 years young, she continues to enjoy crafting with her niece and shared that she has been part of our creative family since 1997. What a wonderful reminder that creativity has no age limit!
