Hello everyone,

We have had quite the busy week here at the office, and we have such an eventful day ahead of us! Before we get into all of the excitement around today’s Finishing School Live on OUR WEBSITE, we need to share this week’s mail. We are so appreciative of all the heartfelt and kind sympathy cards that have been coming into the office. Your words, prayers and kindness mean so much! Thank you for all of the love you give.

Fan Mail Friday wouldn’t be the same without hearing from our friend Anita! She said that she has been having fun bowling and making new friends.

Sara sent this pretty belated birthday card and told us all about her oldest leaving for college. Such a special time! Best of luck to your eldest daughter.

The Pumpkin Easel Dies are much beloved by Barbie. She named this particular one, Mr. Jon Bon Jovi and he loves to perform on a “Bed of Roses.” We loved seeing photos from your Arizona Griffin Gals meetup, so fun!

We are excited to let you know that you can now use afterpay for your Create 8 ticket! Afterpay will allow you to make 4 equal, interest-free payments on our website! So many of you have asked for the option of installment payments, and we are happy to be able to oblige.

Here’s the scoop on today’s first LIVE crafting event on AGTV! We are broadcasting a Finishing School Class live right on our website where you can watch, learn, chat, win and make new friends! Invite your friends to join you; you do not have to be a member to participate in today’s event.

We are excited for you to get a first-hand look at Finishing School as we make 3 house-inspired projects for the upcoming holidays, give you tips and techniques on papercrafting and even meet a very special guest!

It’s shaping up to an amazing day here at the office with beautiful mail, new purchasing options and the fun live event that we are having today. We will see you at 12:00pm Eastern, crafters!

Bye for now,

Anna

  • Anna is such a classy lady. She decided not to read FMF cards on air that were condolence cards for her father. She said they were personal and she wanted to keep the sentiments private. I am so ipressed

  • I would love to get your woodland stickers. They look perfect for my Christmas cards this year.
    I send my deepest sympathy to you and your family. It is so hard to loose your parents.

  • Dear Anna, I have loved the Vintage
    Christmas Paper and Vellum, It is Gorgeous and I have so many ideas how to use it, especially to complete the Christmas Acetate folders I bought 3 years ago they
    Are so Pretty I had trouble figuring out how to complete them.
    I would. Love to win them tomorrow at the October preview
    Thanks for all of your Kindness and Generosity you always give us the
    Opportunity to win

  • I am making 175 Christmas cards for a nursing home. The Christmas paper and vellum would be perfect, and I am sure make everyone smile. I am envisioning cards already. Winning would be a very nice surprise.

  • The Christmas paper and vellum are amazing! I am really falling in Love with this style and these products!

  • Love the Christmas papers and vellum. I tend to scrapbook and make cards at Christmas time, because it is/was my parents birthdays on Christmas Day. Six years apart. It’s always been the favorite holiday. I love your products and can’t wait to participate in another Create.

  • I would like to win the Vintage Christmas paper and Vellum collection.
    I enjoyed the AG TV so much , I started my membership for a year.
    I can hardly wait to get started.
    Thanks

  • Wow fantastic 👏 live TV event. Loved all of the projects ❤️. Everyone have a great relaxing and safe weekend 😀

  • It was so fun watching the Finishing School video. I wasn’t able to watch live but maybe on the next one. I definitely hope to sign up now. I learned so much just in one hour!! Thanks Anna and your team!!

  • Just got home from work and watch the recorded version of AGTV LIVE !!!!! What a blast I Loved it !!! I have been postponing joining FINISHING SCHOOL not anymore, I’m signing up tomorrow. Everyone have a great weekend !!!

  • Just watched Finishing School and enjoyed it very much. I saw in blog comments that you could just click on the item and it went in your cart – that is very convenient. I have most of the dies you showed but should really get the house parts dies.

    My deepest sympathy on the loss of your Father. You need to take some time to grieve but guess that is impossible with all you have to do. Time helps but it never goes away, I lost my father in 1970 and still miss him. Love and prayers to you and all your family.

  • Anna’s Dad passed away at the end of July. So, keep her and her family in your prayers. God Bless.

  • I really enjoyed AGTV and always enjoy seeing the different spins on the dies, papers, card stock and all the goodies you and your team bring to us.
    I tried to join the chat, at least greet you and everyone else but wasn’t able to do so. I kept getting an error message. Maybe someone can tell me what I did wrong so next time, I can at least say hello.
    It was also nice to watch and click on an item and have it drop into my cart without having to open an additional window. Congratulations to all the previous winners and Congratulations Anna to you and your team on bringing AGTV.

  • I so enjoyed the live event. Thank you for doing that Anna and Team.

    We totally get you needing to be alone when reading your condolences. Grief is so hard and affects all differently. We respect your privacy. I know that I would not want to publicly share my grief with the world. May it bring you comfort to know that many of us have been praying for you during this difficult time. Even if we didn’t send you a card.

    Nothing wrong with a short but sweet FMF.

    Happy Crafting!!

  • Anna, there are so many things I would love to be able to participate in, but right now, my life is busy, busy, busy. Four days a week I go to a nursing home to feed a dear, dear friend who has advanced dementia and most days can’t feed herself. I make cards for many shut-ins to cheer them up and recently I made cards of gratitude for all of the people who work in the home where my friend is, thanking them for taking such good care of, no only my friend, but many other patients who are in the same condition my friend is in. I so love seeing Fan Mail Friday and your other posts that certainly inspire me to do what I do. Thank you, Anna.

  • Hi Anna, Such an exciting day. Congratulations on the launch of your new platform! I will hop on over and watch AGTV, as I wasn’t able to this morning. Lovely FMF creations too! Happy weekend everyone!!

  • I had an appointment and could not make it will there be a repeat on so I could watch
    Also could you make inside card sentiments
    For the finishing classes. I do not have a computer or printer.
    I need ones for Noel, gentlemen suits. Birthday slim cards Thank you

  • I watched Finishing school and enjoyed it but I couldn’t make the comment work. What do I need to do to make it work. I was trying so hard to join in the comments and I was in tears because I couldn’t. I couldn’t answer Winnipeg or Anna’s house. I can’t be a part of the giveaway. Please help me know what to do.

    • I just clicked on Comment and another screen popped up and I had to agree to terms and it let me post comments. Hope this helps.

  • Sending love and thanks for all the blessings you and your staff share. Excited to experience AGTV!

  • I just finished watching AGTV – I am surprised that my phone did not blowup it was soooooooooo wonderful.

  • Liked all the cards especially Anita’s. Looking forward to AGTV. I would join Finishing school but I don’t buy every die set or bundle.

  • I am sure the cards you are reading in your office are for the loss of your dad. God Bless you and your family. Thanks so much for you being you.

  • Anna – I don’t know what happened in your life so that your Griffinites are all sending sympathy, but you have mine as well. I try to listen to all your blogs and read a great many comments, but I can’t find out what sorrow you are facing. I believe everyone who is part of your community shares what is going on in your life as do you in theirs! You have my prayers to comfort you always.

  • Just sending Love and Prayers to you Anna as you continue to grieve. You are always uplifting and we want you to know it is OK to be human. We all think of you as super human though.

  • Oh my goodness, looking forward to the finishing school live event. Continued prayers of condolences and love to you and yours.

  • Hi Ms Anna I can’t tell you thank enough for all of your designs they are truly amazing can’t wait to see what’s coming next year and I do hope some of the older stuff come back

    Jackie

  • Congratulations Anna on your new endeavor. I am sure that AGTV is going to be FANTASTIC and I can’t wait to watch today’s FS Live.
