Joan from Vermont created a beautiful card using the August Mystery Box and wrote about how the collection inspired her to reflect on just how far she has come. She is also taking an exciting step forward by joining Create, and we can’t wait for her to experience the creativity, connection and fun of crafting alongside this wonderful community!
Julie from California sent Anna her first Christmas card of 2026! Her sweet message shared wishes of love, happiness and peace, along with gratitude for the inspiration, compassion and generosity she has experienced.
Mary Lou from New York sent a fantastic belated birthday card and shared that she is still enjoying Create 2025. As she rewatches the classes, she especially appreciates the encouragement to make every project her own because crafting is all about learning, experimenting and finding your personal creative style.
Carrie and Mr. Pickles sent an extraordinary birthday package all the way from England! From the adorable “Fairy Craft Mother” card and beautifully decorated treats to a fascinating book of vintage postcards, tea-themed treasures, handmade wine charms and personalized gifts for the team, every detail was filled with love.
Carrie also sent the incredible handmade journal we first saw during our spring Create event. Her heartfelt letter celebrated the friendships and support she has found within our community, with special thanks to Marie, Sabrina, Diane and Stacie, and reminded us how meaningful it is when creativity brings people together.
There’s even more creativity to enjoy with our Daily Drop! It’s always exciting to discover something beautiful to inspire your next project, so be sure to see what’s waiting for you today.

Happy Crafting!
Oh Anna, Look at what you have created…..This Community is so full of the most beautiful hearts, beautiful people who are so giving, caring, thoughtful, funny. They all make your community the wonderful place it truly is. I hope to soon start making cards and scrapbooks to send as well. To all the members I wish you all the happiness and love you send to Anna. Have a wonderful weekend.
So many great projects! Just ordered my first Mystery Box. Will be so fun to see what it will hold! Looking forward to Create and I was a bit nervous about the craft room but I know Anna’s team will help me walk through that!! Have a great weekend and thanks everyone for sharing. 🌸
Such beautiful projects everyone. Everyone is so talented. Everyone have a great day and weekend. May God bless you and keep you everyone.
The items you received are all so beautiful. I just received my Rose Papers. They are truly beautiful. I do have a big request. Can you make something with carnations please. Although all the pink roses you have made are lovely designs, my cup is truly overflowing with roses, particularly pink roses. I had lots and lots of red and white carnations at my wedding 56 years ago. People say they are the cheapest of flowers. But for me their scent is superior to a rose and as a cut flower they last so much longer. I would really like to see one of your new embossing folders done in a carnation. And carnation die cuts. And robin die cuts. I have a collection, I am sure very small in comparison to yours, of antique scraps. What is so pretty about them is that they have embossing done to them, which adds so much texture. I don’t know if this is the best way to put in a request, but I know you read everything. I would like to participate in one of your Create events. I do not have a tablet but rather I use a desk top computer. I don’t have good grip strength and am afraid to buy a portable device because I know it would get dropped. And although I obviously have the internet, I don’t have a camera attached to my old desk top, and my actual crafting is done in another room. I am really spread out. I hope you will consider my requests. Thank you.
