Hello friends,
September is flying by at warp speed, but we are happy to take a moment to pause and catch up with all of our favorite people. We want to start by saying thank you for being with us this week for everything from our AG Members Only show to our Anna Griffin Elegant Papercrafting shows on HSN. It has been a long but creative week. There are no other crafters that we would rather spend our time with!
Let's catch up! We're also going to do something very special: gift Create 10 from a very special Griffinite!
Our Create events have brought together numerous crafters, and has been the beginning of many beautiful friendships. Clare sent this (not Fan Mail Friday) card and we just had to share the lovely picture of Lynn, Kathleen, Cathy, Clare, Suzanne and Linda. So special!
We loved being able to meet crafter Cathy Crowley at our Create 5 event in person. She understands what a wonderful and joyous occasion our Create events are, and Cathy had a great time being able to be creative and further her crafting skills, even if she had to step outside her comfort zone. Although she is unable to attend this year because she is recovering from a virus (hugs to you Cathy), she wants to sponsor someone for this year's Create 10. Cathy is giving the chance for a lucky crafter to experience the event.
So, if you would love to win a ticket to Create we want you to comment here on the blog and tell us about the power of meeting people, making new friends and putting yourself out there. Share a story where you did just that, and about how you are so glad that you did!
If you would like to gift Create to someone deserving, please contact customer service and let them know that you want to pay it forward. From there we will tell your story and prompt the community. Thank you so much for your love and generosity. It means so much, and is a wonderful thing to see!
We are officially less than 50 days away from the Create 10! We have a special deal on the crafting event of the year for a limited time only. Get your event ticket and over $2000 in crafting supplies and materials for $450!
We look forward to the treat of your cards and letters each week. If you would like to send something to our office, you can mail it to us at 99 Armour Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30324.
We'll be back next week with more beautiful fan mail, the first of the Griffinites Give winners and another chance for you to win Create 10 from the kind, generous crafters in our community.
Xoxo,
Anna

Anna, Thank you to all who gift a ticket to Create 10. Please put my name in the hat for a gift ticket! I’ve been a Griffinite for years!
Would love to come and meet other Griffinits from Georgia and form a Georgia group.
My thoughts are with Cathy and wish her a speedy recovery!
What a thoughtful gift. Wishing you well Cathy. Crafting is such a creative outlet in these days of stress and fast paced. Enjoying this past time with friends is amazing. New friends are the best. I have a ticket but would love one to share with a new friend I made two years ago at create 8… she hasn’t been able to attend. Would love to pay it forward so we can create together!! Thank you!!
Wishing you a speedy recovery Cathy! What a lovely gift you are giving to a fellow crafter.
Where do I begin. Sabryna Taggart – meet 24 years ago scrapbooking and having kids together. She moved to TX 14 years ago – I moved 3 years ago. I introduced her to AG once I got to TX and she’s hooked – Scrapbooks and cards. Always my BFF but now my scrapbook buddy AGAIN. She has never been to Create or CAH!!!! But if she did she’ll be hooked for LIFE. She’ll love making homemade Christmas gifts with Create but if not then CAH – we’ve been scrapbooking since 2000 together. I gave her a mini empress to get her started and will give her my Empress once I get my NEW Empress next month. My next album is a Sabryna and Me album – maybe Paisley might be 2 Paisley albums since I have 4 inches of pictures with her.
