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

I would like to nominate Diane Willis’sister who is having
I have been following you for many years in fact I remember when I found out about create you were still holding it in Atlanta and it has always been a dream of mine to attend. Well last year was my first year attending create nine it was totally a dream come true. I found a group in Oklahoma City who I’ve known for years and I had no idea that they loved you and your products as well. I was fortunate to start crafting with them as well as having my first create experience with them as well. Today I lost my job so I wasn’t able to buy my ticket for create this year I’m so sad because I have really enjoyed using your products to make cards. It’s really kind of ironic how I would make cards for coworkers and management only to be terminated today I would be so honored and Overjoyed if I had the opportunity to win a ticket to create Ten this year I know there are so many other people who would love to win as well. Being able to use your products to create beautiful cards has brought me so much joy and it’s brought so many other people joy, so many people look forward to my cards that I have made by using your products. If I have the opportunity to attend this year’s creates because of someone else’s generosity it would mean the world to me and it would totally be such a huge blessing to experience Community when I needed the most by attending this year as well.

I cannot wait for 8 November get here so Create 10 starts. From what I have seen on previews it is going to be at a next level. Every year it gets better. When you think that Anna and Team have out done themselves then they throw a curve ball, and Anna and Team stun us once again. I cannot wait to see all of my friends that I have made during Create. Thank you, Anna and Team, for what you do for all of us out here. See everyone soon and have a great week and may God bless you all.
Ohio Griffinites were able to get our group together. Having friends that enjoy each others presence at our zooms (2x’s a month) and our 2 live events has been so awesome and because of Anna’s positive attitude adds so much to our group. Meeting others is sooo much of a blessing to us also!!!!
