Comments: 55

Hi everyone,

Thank you all so much for making our first Craft Day of the year a BIG success! Celebrating our 10th anniversary on HSN was so special, and it wouldn’t have been the same without each and every one of you! Our Skype callers made the shows so memorable, and we want to share their cards and kind words for today’s Fan Mail Friday. Mark your calendars for the next Craft Day on March 3rd! Previews start soon so stay tuned!

Let’s take a look at our traveling Fan Mail!

Holly, we hate that we missed you for our Skype call. You are such a special friend; thank you for this absolutely stunning Anna-versary card!

Look how gorgeous this pink and gold card that Felicia sent in is. We love the Annabelles!

The combination on this card is so festive, Melissa. Thank you for celebrating our 10th anniversary on HSN with us!

Sharon, you’re becoming quite the card maker. Love the pink card and the pretty pink roses that went with it!

This card is gorgeous, Michael! Thank you for joining in on all of the fun and for your friendship!

Jeanie your card and the beautiful engraved sentiment are perfect. Thank you for kicking Craft Day with us, and for the love and support!

We hope you have a wonderful weekend. Don’t forget that Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! We would love to see the amazing valentines that you are creating! If you would like to send us one, you can send them to 99 Armour Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30324.

Love,

Anna

    Ten wonderful crafting years on HSN. Twenty six years in the crafting industry. Truly a HUGE accomplishment. CONGRATULATIONS!

    I hope you stop and smell the roses along this crafting journey. Take time to do the things that make YOU happy. You have earned some time to yourself. You know what they say about all work and no play. Even though you have your dream job, it is still a job. So please Anna remember to take a little time out of each day or week and relax.

    Happy Annaversary!
    Happy Crafting!

    Dear Anna
    This week’s cards are lovely. Just returned from a cruise Friday to Miami. Good luck, the traffic was a nightmare. Glad I live in central Fl where it’s a little quieter.

    Gosh Anna – you are so amazing and so thoughtful to do a FMF while you’re traveling! Your schedule is so busy but you still make time for others – not because you have to, but out of the kindness of your heart! Your generosity is limitless. You share so many selfless acts and it really makes me want to pay it forward and do nice things for others. You’re a role model for so many people and you really do make the world a happier and beautiful place!
    Your 26 years of success was not handed to you on a silver platter. You made it happen by sacrificing so much of yourself, time, energy, money and by taking many risks! You trusted and invested in yourself – and YOU made it happen! I truly am proud of all of your accomplishments!!

    Now I can’t wait for my orders to come!

    Hello Anna! Thanks for taking the time in your busy schedule to show case FMF…in Miami.
    Saw some of these lovely cards on HSN, and the lovely Annabelles, as well as Michael and Jeanie on their Skype calls. What wonderful artistic and devoted fans you have Anna!
    I recorded all your shows so I could watch them over again a little bit every day. It gives me great joy to watch your shows, the products that you sell, and the finished cards.
    Happy Anna-versay Anna!

    Very lovely cards from equally lovely people!!!
    Hope everyone arrives home safely!

    It was a great Craft Day despite the technical glitches, and there were a few, but looked like lots of fun was still had by all!
    I think my goodies are arriving today, can’t wait to open everything, it’ll be like having another birthday or Xmas!

    Such pretty cards. I enjoyed watching you on HSN. I watched all day but did not order this time. I have had some really big purchases lately. Things that have broken down in the house like Washing Machine and now the Hot Water Heater. Hopefully, I will be in better shape to order in March. Love to watch demonstration even if I do not order. Gives me ideas for making my cards. Keep up bringing us beautiful things Anna.

    I love your shows on HSN. I cant wait yo get my orders. Thank you for all of your creative products that make it easy and fun to do. Counting down until the next show.

    Loved seeing the creativity of your fans. It was kind of odd not seeing you in the usual setting, with all the floral and romantic decorations in the background. (It would be fun to see FMF taped in a portion of your own house). Even though the background lacked that, and to me seemed very stark and modern, which some like but I prefer your style better, it was enjoyable to see you out and about traveling and being the woman on the move that you are. The event you attended sounds fabulous and I’m sure you were a valuable addition. Can’t wait for the preview to start. Oh by the way, I received about half of what I ordered from HSN and I am soooo very pleased! Have a good weekend all!

    Anna-iversary. May the creativity keep on coming. Always love seeing all the cards it helps to get the creative juices going.

    Hi Anna,

    Enjoyed your 10th Anniversary show so much. My girlfriend who loves in Florida and I text while your show is on all day. Then our fingers get tried and we chat on the phone for awhile.
    Of course in between ordering.
    Thank you,

    Hi Anna,
    Thanks for sharing the 10TH
    ANNIVERSARY CARDS WITH
    US. They were all lovely.
    The show was great. Had fun
    seeing everything that was
    presented. Had good luck
    in being able to purchase all
    that I was interested in! That
    is always a plus. It all went
    pretty fast though. You and
    the host ‘s were all having a
    good time, and that, of course
    makes it all the more fun!!!
    Have a good trip home Anna
    and we’ll see you soon.

    Safe travels to you, Anna. Hope you have some sunshine in Miami. In St. Pete for a few days. Only time I have ever been here with no sunshine. Can’t wait to get home, some of my craft day items have arrived. Have to try Finishing School.

    Thank you for all you do! ❤️

    What beautiful cards! Happy Anna-versary!
    I may have discovered you only in these past few years, but to be sure, I will hang around for the next 10! Your products keep my mind active and my hands busy creating lovely things to share with family and friends, and as my young granddaughters grow, they become more capable of crafting with me to make classmate and teacher gifts. You are multi- generational with your appeal!
    I loved the show, over-bought, and plan to do the same on March 3rd! ?
