Hi everyone,
It’s time for Fan Mail Friday, our favorite time of the week! This week, happy mail has come from here and yonder, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Every card, letter and thoughtful gift reminds us just how special this creative community is. Thank you for thinking of us and our entire team and for sharing your creativity, kindness and stories with us!
Watch the video:
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.
And don’t miss our MasterCraft Class: Paper Blossoms! This class is a wonderful opportunity to explore these beautiful crafting tools, learn inspiring techniques and discover new ways to create dimensional blossoms that make your projects truly special.
If you’ve ever thought about sending us a card, letter or handmade creation, we would absolutely love to hear from you! Fan Mail Friday is a celebration of your creativity, your stories and the wonderful connections that make this community so meaningful.

Beautiful!!
All cards and goodies are beautiful thoughtful expressions. Yes, Joan the August Mystery box was one of the best. Like you I was nervous for the technology at this spring’s Create. Anna’s staff made it so easy. You are going to experience joy of fun, laughter and so much more as you work along with Anna. Then later to meet all the Griffinites in chat rooms. It was one of my special lifetime experiences. Mary Lou thank you for reminding me to go back and review those wonderful memories. Carrie and Mr. Pickles, truly detailed in love with the pinks and roses every where. The journal continued how we celebrate our connections in this friendship community.
What lovely treasures!!!! I so enjoy all the inspiration from products designed by our lovely and wonderful Anna Griffin that are turned into fabulous creations by people all over the world!!
