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

Cathy Crowley what a generous gift to bestow on someone. If you are gifting your own ticket, that must mean that something terrible has happened to you. For that I am truly sorry. But in the midst of your trials and tribulations, you are still thinking of how you can be a blessing to someone else. I know you will be blessed beyond measure for your gift.
Having been able to attend all of the Virtual Create Events, I know how truly wonderful they are. This gift will stay with the recipient for the rest of their life. I know I treasure the Create Events. They are truly the best. And after the full look of everything in Create 10, I just KNOW this is going to be the best one yet.
God bless you, Cathy Crowley!
I’m very shy, but ive been making greeting cards for my Mom for years. She convinced me,to sell at a craft fair, and bought my first table for me. It was very intimidating, but I did it!! I made a few friends, who helped me get into other local shows. I now have a regular followers, and meet great people at every show. My neighbor started helping me out, and has now become my best friend!! My Mother passed away unexpectedly earlier this year, and I’ve lost my best customer, but also my loving supporter. I can’t seem to get back into craft room, as my last project was my mom’s box of cards. I would love to do an Anna Griffin create, hoping to,find my mojo again.
This Create just promises to be fabulous. Every year I hope, but the past few years a surgery has been scheduled so maybe next year. For those who are able to attend the value for the money is incredible.Everyone will have a wonderful time and I look forward to seeing and hearing about all the exciting things everyone will create!
Meeting and sharing with crafty people would.be a dream come true. Love all things AG.
