Hello friends,
Each year we say it, and each year we mean it more and more. Create 10 was the BEST event yet! We are still on cloud 9 that so many of you decided to join us for an incredible weekend. Create is first and foremost a celebration of creativity, community and spreading joy! Anna Griffin Inc. is celebrating 30 years of business in 2024 and 10 years of our Create events. This year intentions were set and shared to ensure that we were all aligned and ready to CREATE!
Come see a few of our most cherished memories from Create 10.
Months and months of preparation and hard work goes into ensuring that we give you the absolute best Create experience. We love to see your excitement for all things Create!
It wouldn't be Create without a meaningful poem from our poet, Penny. We love how she always sets the tone for our weekend together.
We were thrilled to have our spectacular co-host, Robin back this year. She does such an amazing job of connecting us together through the chat!
"Can we see that again?" Why, yes you can! Sara acted as Anna's instant replay to help crafters make sure their projects were perfect!
We got to meet new faces in the event including Michelle in Florida. This was her first Create event, and she was so excited to find community here. We loved the conversation around the evolution of self, self love and compassion!
Our friend Kenny in Georgia also attended his first Create (along with 570 other attendees--hooray!). We loved how committed he is to his creative endeavors, and we know that he has inspired us all to be creative every day.
You couldn't help but smile hearing Socorro's story. She lives in Florida where she has spent many years advancing her education, career, family and love of crafting. She has been crafting and crocheting since she was young, and has been an Anna follower for 30 years!
The time with Moriah was so incredibly special. It was what we like to call a heightened connection. Through our Stylish Hats Class, we found out just how intertwined we are and that we are always surrounded by our loved ones.
We asked the team to apply Create to their lives, and one fun thing that we shared was how our Associate Producer, Heather has participated in theater throughout her life. Perfect for the Theatrical Greetings Class!
It was a pleasure to meet Edythe in California and her beautiful family. We loved learning about her life, friendships and how she crafts to preserve her most beloved memories.
This community never ceases to amaze us. There are so many talented people here from music producers like Jan to opera singers like Sara!
Diane and Patrick's music creations are always highly anticipated and a blast to choreograph!
Don't forget (how could you?) about the talented dancers and lip-synchers too!
We thought that it would be fun to share a couple of special entrepreneurs with you this year in the Craft Room.
Sweet Grass Dairy shared all kinds of yummy recipes, ideas and cheeses with us! You can still use coupon code: AnnaGriffin for a percentage off their delicious cheeses.
We shared caramels, sweet treats, recipes and more from Julie Ann's Caramels. We learned so much, swooned over the yummy goodies and added them to our Christmas wishlist.
Our dear readers got the 411 on all things Create via the Annabelles' Anchor Desk-- such SCANDALOUS news!
We shared a new passion project that we are excited to share with you!
All in all, Create 10 was an unforgettable event. Great work, team!
The best thing about Create is YOU! It makes our hearts full to see you in community with one another.
We are big fans of the furry Griffinites too!
Seeing your fantastic finished projects is the icing on the cake! Great work, everyone!
We are always inspired by the way that the tools and materials from Create live on for years to come. There are always new and creative ways to craft with the contents of our Create classes.
Tell us about your favorite memory from Create 10 in the comments! If you can't wait for more Create, then you are in luck! Tickets are available for the 5th Annual Anna Griffin | Create Crop at Home! Join us May 2nd- May 4th, 2025 for a hybrid event. We will be doing both card making and scrapbooking!
Thank you all for a weekend that we won't forget!
Love,
Anna

It was my first time attending an Anna Griffin event. She said it would be the best and she and her team did not disappoint. I have completed all my projects and learned so much. So grateful for having been able to participate and my goal is to be at Crop at Home 5 in May! Thank you everyone for sharing. 🌸
This was truly an amazing event! Loved the recap! Y’all work so hard at it all-thank you for always putting your best foot forward
I had so much fun this year, it really helped doing all my cutting in advance of the class! I am still making the shoe ornaments for my card club Christmas lunch in December.
Oh, my goodness that was so much fun seeing all the fun everyone had during Create 10! The joy was over the top and I am still on Anna Griffin Cloud Nine! I’m very grateful to Anna, the AG superb team and all the wonderful Griffinites for 3 days of wonderment.
What a beautiful recap of one of the best weekends of the year(I say one because Crop At Home is soon to follow)! Thank you Anna and team for all you do to make this happen. Can’t wait for May!
