Fan Mail Friday- Full Circle

By Anna Griffin // //

Comments: 64

Hello friends,

Happy Friday! We are filled with so much joy from all of the amazing fan mail we received this week! We want to give a big hug to everyone who brightened our day with a wonderful card, letter, project or photo. Each one is so appreciated, and we love each and every person in our incredible community.

Come see today’s fan mail!

Sara wrote to say thank you for winning her Crop at Home 2 Ticket from Win It Wednesday, and told us all about the magical time she had at the event. She is inspired to pay it forward, to celebrate the memories from the past and to gather joyfully with friends.

Joe also made a card and let us know how much joy crafting during Crop at Home 2 brought Sara. So sweet!

Three cheers for the Arizona Griffin Gals! Say hello to Jane, Barbie, Diane, Brenda, Stacy, Karen, Laura and Mary Ann! Thanks for the special card, ladies! Pictured is their first official meeting, a beautiful tea. We love to see it!

Wendy sent us a beautiful card, sweet note and her book Letters to Barley for Fan Mail Friday. Thank you for joining us as a guest; you really helped to make the day extra special!

How cute are Jane and Delilah? Jane joined us for Crop at Home 2, and she enjoyed meeting new Griffinites, connecting and creating. Thank you for the beautiful card and wonderful photos!

Take a look at this Donna Lee original! Thank you so much for this beautiful CAH2 shirt! We will always think of you every time we wear it!

Terry reminds us that when life gets us down, to think about our favorite things! What a great song for all of us, and to remind us that we have so much to be thankful for.

Annie Laura had a wonderful time at Crop at Home 2, and sends thanks in her beautiful penmanship!

Heidi and Tara are quite the dynamic duo! Glad you two could enjoy the event together!

You can always tell when there’s a Yukari project! Each detail is perfect, Yukari! What a beautiful way to use Heirloom Lace! We might need to create this card in Finishing School!

Thank you all for the outpouring of love this week. Reading your letters and getting to know what’s going on in your life is truly the best thing. We are so glad that many of you enjoyed this year’s big scrapbooking event, and that your cherished memories have found a beautiful home. If you would like to submit a card or project to us, you can mail it to 99 Armour Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30324 Attn: Fan Mail Friday. We will see you next week for the first Friday of June! As a challenge, send something in if you never have before, or create in a brand new way!

Love,

Anna

Thank you all for your beautiful inspiration, and most of all, thank you, Beautiful Anna, for everything you do!!!

  • I’m so happy you have been including more scrapbook pages. I make cards, of course, but I started in scrapbooking. Love your products, especially dies, but your ideas as well.

  • Hello Anna!
    Thank you so much for sharing with us on FMF!
    All of the projects are so beautiful and so much love has gone into each and everyone!
    God Bless the hands that have made each one as well as you Anna and your Team!

  • I always enjoy seeing the talented work of all the Griffinites out there. Beautiful!

  • I Love all the creative cards and projects. The colors are amazing as well.

  • Awesome projects this week. Thank you everyone for sharing your expertise and creativity!

    Think of all who are remembering a loved one this Memorial Day weekend; as well as profound thoughts and prayers to the families of Uvaldi, TX.

  • Fabulous FMF! I am so grateful for Anita and her cards that inspired FMF. She bowls me over😉 each week! The Arizona Griffin Gals had such a beau-tea-ful time in Carefree. I nominate this area for an in person Griffinite extravaganza live gathering. I’ve been to Arizona about a dozen times and it’s beauty inspires, especially this area. Many fine resorts and activities! Jane sent great photos and such a pretty card. Hope she wins the Bohemian dies you are giving away this week on Win it Wednesday (hint, Anna 😁😜). And Anna, you now own another Yukari! Yes, she is an inspiring paper artist worthy of collecting. As a full time caregiver, and an extraordinary paper artist, I marvel at what she creates; it’s humbling to me. This Heirloom Lace card with its lovely box so deserves the recognition you gave. And a lesson in how to make it would be sublime. Thank you, Yukari. And Anna, wear that pretty tee in your magnificent garden resting a bit this Memorial Day weekend. Happy holiday to everyone.

  • OMG!! So many beautiful cards, Kudos to all of the Fan Mail people.😁

  • Oh my goodness everything is so beautiful! Yukari really outdid herself and that would be a great project for FS or Create 8!!!

  • Greetings, what beautiful dies,
    do you send to Mexico?
    I am from Jalisco

  • Great job to everyone! Shout out to the AZ Griffin Gals! So fun to see the card and picture marking such a fun occasion. Anna, you will have to come visit to see the most floral place in the desert! Hi to Wendy Townley, who I was so lucky to meet during CAH2. She is such a beautiful person, which shows in her beautiful card and the cute book! And Jane Shouse, spreading the beautiful navy floral cards! Just delightful!

  • Everyone’s projects are fabulous, fabulous, fabulous!!! Yes please make Yukari’s project with us. Thank you all contributors and thank you Anna! Crop 2 was inspirational. I decided whether or not my family is into older family history I will scrapbook it regardless after I finish my granddaughter’s graduation scrapbook! So little time and so much to do. How do you do it all so well Anna?

  • How wonderful to see photos of other Griffinites! Now I can match all the smiling faces with names I see on all the posts!
    All the cards and gifts were beautiful and so thoughtfully selected for you, Anna. You deserve them, Fairy Cardmother! 💖

  • Love watching fan mail Friday! I like seeing the variety of cards and projects that people come up with.
