Hi friends,

Our hearts are full as we write this post with Create happening over the past weekend and Thanksgiving on the horizon! We are so thankful for YOU, and we can’t tell you enough how much we appreciate your kind words, love of our products, encouragement, fan mail and our daily interactions with each and every one of you. Our customers make it worth all of the hard work and sleepless nights! You inspire us every single day and we are truly grateful.

This week, we hope that you spend time with friends and family, making memories and doing what you love! We know you love to craft, so we thought we would share some of our favorite Thanksgiving projects for you.

There’s so much to be thankful for! Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Anna Griffin Inc.

Love,

Anna

  • Happy belated Thanksgiving. There are not enough words to thank you and your team for all of the hard work and long hours that went into making Create 4 such a remarkable success. As with last year it was awe inspiring. Create is the one thing I absolutely do for myself every year and I never regret it.
    I took a card kit with me when we went over to family’s for Thanksgiving dinner, I really was NOT interested in ANOTHER football game. Of course the women LOVED it but I did learn that I had to be wary of my niece’s 1 year old….. note to self.
    You give me a creative outlet when my brain is going too fast. You give me a way to share love with my friends and family. You allow me the opportunity to create and spread beauty. Thank you for these opportunities, for with them you allow me to change others lives while enhancing my own.
    Much love ❤️

  • Belated Thanksgiving blessings to you all! Hope everyone out there and those at Anna Griffin had a wonderful, relaxing few days spent with family and friends enjoying great food and fellowship! I always enjoy reading your blog and seeing all the beautiful things and great ideas. You have so many loyal friends that truly love you, Anna, and it’s a joy to read their comments and feel a part of a community.

  • I’m so grateful for the weekly blogs……I love all of the new ideas as well as the introduction to the new items that you are presenting….. I was able to attend the Create 3 and would have loved to attend #4, due to health issues it was not possible.
    I’m looking forward to being able to attend Create 5.
    I’m hoping that you, Joe and your wonderful staff had a stellar Thanksgiving. Also, hoping you’re all going to have a Magical Christmas season!!

  • I will never be ale to attend Create but the examples of the cards made bring tears to my eyes with their beauty. I am so grateful for the beautiful tools you offer to help all of us make these beautiful expressions of love and thanksgiving. May your holidays be filled with joy and family and fellowship. Warm regards, Judi

  • Thank you for the beautiful inspiration. I got so many compliments on the thanksgiving cards i sent. I loved the create live!

  • Thank you to you & your staff for a wonderful 1st Create!
    I am still on a high from all the ideas, projects, new friends and your incredible generosity! Looking forward to next year and Thankful for the gift of Creativity!

  • Much thanks to all for this blog. To Anna, who is the one who works tirelessly to make everything happen, with her vision, her commitment to excellence, her teaching, her receptivity, and her laughter. You are the inspiring example of a true woman entrepreneur. To HSN and their hosts and legion of workers who make each piece of Anna Griffin Inc easy to see, order and receive. May QVC not mess it all up. To my UPS driver, who never messes up. To Provo Craft, who partners with Anna to create technical wonders and flawless cut and emboss dies, your genius pushes the boundaries of possibilities. May each product always bring us opportunity for amazement and success. To every Griffinite, from everyone just now coming aboard to those who found Anna decades ago, you share the addiction because you love the beauty, creating, caring, and fun. May we all always realize how fortunate we are to have Anna Griffin in our lives. Blessed holidays to you all.

  • Hope you and your staff had a blessed Thanksgiving. I absolutely love the card that shows the little child sitting on the pumpkin facing the turkey! It looks like they are having a conversation. Thank you for the inspiration, Anna. Grateful for you.

  • Dear Anna,
    Belated Thanksgiving!
    Blessings to you and your wonderful team, and Griffinite fans!
    Looking forward to your next wonderful assortment of products in the new year, especially of the embellishment of plumes which I requested and you said they would be coming out in January. Can’t wait!
    Thank so much for all you do.

  • Your cards are a beautiful recognition of how talented you are around how important it is for you to provide us with quality products.

    Thank you,
    Cindy Freeman

  • Thanksgiving was not as terrific as last year due to medical reasons but there is still a lot to be thankful for. My husband and I are very happy together and although we lost our fantastic pup this summer, we are thankful that we had the pleasure of his company and joy for 13 years.

    I am thankful that my husband is understanding enough that I was able to go to Create 4 which was fantastic. My girlfriend came to assist me and it turns out that she has become a crafter, after this event. Yeah !!

    Many new things lie ahead for us and we are grateful for the time available to enjoy them.

    Thank you Anna and your fabulous team. You all make my life happier.

  • Dearest Anna,

    I am beyond grateful to for you! So many reasons! You’re truly a gift to so many!
    You’ve built more than just an incredible company full of amazing, beautiful, innovative craftsman people ; you’ve built a wonderful, caring community of grateful crafters and lovers of all things beautiful!

    Thank you so very much…for everything you are!

  • Happy Thanksgiving Day Miss Anna🦃 🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃
    THANK YOU for all the precious, wonderful and beautiful memories you have given me and my family and friends. We truly give thanks to you and your team Miss Anna. You have touched all our hearts with love and kindness and we look forward to another fantastic, successful and beautiful New Year. THANK YOU🦃♥️🦃♥️🦃♥️🦃♥️

  • Happy Thanksgiving Anna to you and your staff and all the beautiful creations you create to make us look so creative. Have a Blessed Thanksgiving and Christmas. See you in January.

  • Happy Thanksgiving. I love all your products but UPS lost all my order of your products! I am hoping that you bring back the mini French fans, the heart dies and folders, the holly jacket die, and the four Corners dies! I am simply heartbroken as I was so looking forward to receiving these wonderful products!

  • You bring joy to so many of us with your beautiful creations. And we in send our creations to others. Thankful for you Anna.

  • Happy Thanksgiving to you and your staff, Anna. I loved all the cards. Is it possible to buy the kit for all the cards? I send Thanksgiving cards and did design my own this year for family and friends.
    I am making my Christmas cards today with one of your special kits. I love your cards and am always ready to get at the cards which are so fun to make.
    Blessings, Judy

  • Dear Anna, Blessings to you and family during this wonderful holiday season. And, many thanks for all the joy your products have brought me! Sending love, Maureen Gutowski

  • Happy Thanksgiving!
    We are so thankful for you and your team, Anna!
    These cards are simply stunning, as usual!
    Be blessed, Pamela Nelson

  • We all count our blessings when we think of you and your staff. We could not make such beautiful cards and layouts if not for you and your creative staff. God has blessed you all with such talent that is beyond words! Your kits save us so much time and everything is included to make our life easier during these busy and trying times. But to send a card is the most compassionate thing to do for someone in these days of electronic gadets that seem to be pulling people apart instead of bringing them together. Whenever I receive a card in the mail It’s makes me smile and I treasure that moment that someone took the time to think of little ole me. Thank you for blessing our lives with your products that we can share with others.

  • Happy Thanksgiving Anna to you and your family on this wonderful day of blessings and remembering, and thank you for all you do for us to keep us creative with our lives, you have no idea how much you have touched my life and given me inspiration everyday.

    God Bless you and your family on this joyous day.

Your passion for what you do is what keeps me coming back for more. You truly are an inspiration, so I thank you, again. May your Thanksgiving be the window that sheds light on the rest of your holiday season, and may the feeling bless you throughout the coming year.

  • Hello Anna and team,
    Thanks for sharing the Thanksgiving cards and blessings . Also Thank you for the opportunity to share in Create 4 via internet. Watched replay videos as couldn’t find the live feed. It was lots of fun seeing all with smiles and having a great time. Learned a few things too. Hope all have a blessed Thanksgiving, including fellow bloggers and all Griffinites. Anna and staff, rest now, and relax. See you soon.

  • Happy Thanksgiving Anna. I would like you to know you unknowingly saved my Life. When I IMed you asking about which die set had the fall or autumn die I was going septic. My daughter saw what I was writing and rushed me into the ER. I had an infection in my surgery wound and my body was shutting down. Thank you so much for being who you are. PS, which die set was it please?

  • HAPPY THANKSGIVING, ANNA, and Your GANG! I am thankful for so many blessing GOD has bestowed on me and my family. I am thankful for you and all your card designs. Very Blessed, SANDRA

We Griffinites love all that you design, share and create for us so that we can be successful in our favorite hobby. We are thankful for you, Anna. You are special to all of us.

  • Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Anna. You have given so many of us a reason to be grateful for all the beauty you bring into our everyday lives.

    Peace

  • Anna hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and don’t let that Turkey show up on your thighs. I am thankful for family, friends, and all my Anna kits. They have filled some depressing days. Hopefully I’ll have a new liver by next Thanksgiving.

  • WOW….what beautiful cards I love looking at and trying to recreate your designs. Happy Thanksgiving to you Anna, your staff and all the Griffinites.

  • Happy Thanksgiving to you Anna and your staff. Thank you for such wonderful products and love of crafting that you share with us on a daily basis. Your stories of crafting with your mother and grandmother are so special and you’ve inspired a world of creative and talented crafters in the same way. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones and thank you for sharing the wonderful cards on the blog today.

  • Beautiful cards also make beautiful seasonal memories. Happy Thanksgiving to Anna and her wonderful staff and to all the ladies and gents on the Anna board.

  • Happy Thanksgiving to you and your staff! They were so helpful and welcoming during our visit.
    My box was delivered today!! Yea!

  • Anna, Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful Thanksgiving wishes with us. I am very thankful for you in my life. You are a true inspiration and all of us are grateful for your sharing your wonderful talents so that we can have the joy of creativity through crafting. You’ve made it possible for us to realize that we, too, through all you do, can make beautiful things for others. Thank you, for just being you.

  • Happy Thanksgiving to you Miss Anna, your creative staff and to all my fellow crafters. Gods Blessings on you and your families!

  • I just got this email and it is waaay to late for this year! I’ll try to buy it tho for next year, They are gorgeous!

  • Hi Anna,
    God is Good. Thanksgiving is Thankful living. May God bless you and your family as well as your wonderful business . So grateful to have discovered you in time for Christmas. Looking forward for a future creating beautiful, beautiful cards and projects. Thank you and have a Blessed Thanksgiving.

  • Happy Thanksgiving Anna and all of your staff. Thank you for all you do for us and all the beautiful products you bring us. Have a Blessed Thanksgiving

  • Sometimes, I am grateful when the guests leave cause it takes time away from cybershopping and crafting. I’m just sayin….Gobble Gobble! Sometimes, my husband sets a glass of tea down too close to my Anna stuff and he gets a lecture about how much I love Anna and her stuff and how most of my stuff is Anna items. Then I pick up each item and say, “this is from Anna Griffin, and this is from Anna Griffin, etc. He rolls his eyes. Happy Thanksgiving to all crafters and I guess to the non crafting folks although I can’t relate to you if you don’t craft. Ha! Ha!

  • Dear Anna, May this Thanksgiving Day be the best ever for you and your family. Please realize that you have been a part of so many of our families throughout the year and May you be Blessed with happiness from my family to yours.

  • Thanks to you and your wonderful team for another great Create! A blessed Thanksgiving to all and your families.

  • Blessed Thanksgiving to you and your staff and please come out with a Thanksgiving Card kit, stamps and dies for next year.

  • I should be sending a Thank You card but this seemed appropriate for the Season! I wanted to say that I had the most wonderful time at Create 4‼️ I was a first-timer and it really exceeded my expectations. When I walked into the lobby I met fellow Griffinites and we talked for hours. The gifts in the beautiful bag, at breakfast and lunch were so generous of you., Many Thanks.❗️The classes were so much fun, I learned so much. THANK YOU and your staff for all that you did for the past 8 months ( that’s how long i had been thinking of it). Anyway again, Thank You and have a Happy Thanksgiving 🦃❗️

  • Anna and Crew, We are so thankful for you and all you do. You enrich our lives in so many ways. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

  • Absolutely beautiful cards.
    I am thankful for all the men and women serving in our Military keeping me safe.
    I am thankful that as a woman I was born in the United States of America where I have the freedom that’s denied to women in other parts of the world.
    I am thankful for the parents that brought me into the world and taught me human deciency and values.

  • Happy Thanksgiving to you at Anna Griffin. I am grateful for all of the wonderful things you come up with for us to create with.

  • The same wishes to you, your staff and family and friends. After living alone for over 20 years sometimes, most of the time, the holidays are just another day. So I will be putting up my tree, it takes a lot longer to do that. Gone are the days of 5 trees! I may spend some time just reading, too. Nathaniel Philbrick writes terrific history! But there are a lot of upsides to not celebrating. No hours spent cooking and baking, no fridge full of leftovers, and best of all, no cleanup!!! Once the tree and house are decorated maybe I can spend some time making Valentine cards with all my latest goodies. That will have to wait since I collect holiday and it takes days to decorate just the tree.

  • I’m Thankful for all the joy you’ve brought to my life and others. I enjoyed the creative process and those on the receiving end were delighted with what I created from all of your products. Many Blessings to you and your team, and here’s to many more creative ideas!

  • Beautiful Cards, Anna, and my very-most favorite one is the one with the wood-tone diecut words… GORGEOUS! But they are each beautiful… -and, with extreme gratitude, I must share that Create 4 was a perfect way to kick off the Holiday Season. I am SO grateful for YOU, and for your incredibly hard-working staff, and for the exemplary effort you and they extend to make our year a delight! Especially for the Create experience! Thank you so much! Its the ONE time in the year I can just be me, and lay aside all those other hats I get to wear throughout the year! What a joy-filled, delight-filled experience! Thank you, again. I hope your Holiday Season has not one whit of stress in it, that it has GREAT fun and yummy foods in it, time to relax alone and with loved ones in it, and that Santa brings you what you truly desire above all else. Happy, Blessed Thanksgiving to you, and to Joe and Georgie, and to each of your staff at Anna Griffin, Inc. With many Hugs and Much Love!

  • To Anna and her entire staff i wish you a blessed , warm and happy Thanksgivings . I am very grateful for all that you do and share. The cards were beautiful and I can’t believe I forgot to make thanksgiving day cards 😲 how crazy was that.

  • Hi..it’s me again! (Kaye) I also meant to thank all of the ladies who helped set up the craft room, help out in it, keep it organized, and then tear it down at the end of the weekend. I know that was a HUGE job in itself. THANK YOU!!!! It is MUCH appreciated!

  • And I hope that everyone at Anna Griffin, Inc, along with their families have a happy and safe Thanksgiving and holiday season, as well. And the same goes to ALL of my fellow Griffinites!

    I am thankful for EVERYONE at Anna Griffin, Inc. for their hard work all year ’round and especially around the time of Create. Those who worked behind the scenes who we never got to see and who never got acknowledged for what they did: Thank You!

    I want to especially make a shout out to MISS STEPHANIE JOHNSON, Anna’s receptionist, who took such exceptional care of me during the warehouse sale. She was a total sweetheart and I couldn’t have been in better hands. Thanks again, Stephanie!

    Everyone at the sale was just wonderful. Actually, everyone during the entire conference was absolutely lovely. I am so thankful for EVERYONE AT ANNA GRIFFIN, INC. (Can I just keep saying that over & over?)

    And I’m thankful to JOE who was opening doors in the warehouse to try to cool down the building, and for keeping the refreshments filled in the break room. Thanks!

    I’m thankful to ANNA’S DESIGNERS for all of their marvelous and mind-boggling creativity all year long!

    I’m thankful for all of the INSTRUCTORS who taught classes this year AND for all of the instructor’s HELPERS. They all have the patience of Job to do what they do!

    Some more ladies that had to have the patience of Job would be the ladies who helped with the MAKE & TAKES. Thank you!

    I’m thankful to ANYONE and EVERYONE (including ANNA, all vendors, instructors, etc.) who provided us with products to use in the classrooms and in the craft room. A big THANK YOU!

    I am also thankful for the many friends I have made through ANNA and her wonderful organization. I have wonderful friends that I just love and adore that are several years old now. And this year I was able to make new friends!! How blessed am I? Thank you, ANNA!!

    I am also thankful that Anna brought GEORGIE to the craft room and that I got to pet that beautiful baby of hers. Animals are just the best ever and life would be so boring without them. So thank you, Anna! (And thank you, ELLEN BENDEL, for coming to get me when Georgie made his appearance!)

    And lastly, I offer up a big APOLOGY to anyone and everyone that I have forgotten, of which I am certain there are some, if not many.

  • Hi Anna & team,

  • A Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and a reminder to keep all those going through whatever the difficult trials affecting them, in our thoughts.

Nice way to also tuck a quick little note in each purse and pocket that will be there. I go to Jeanenne’s house every year where she opens her home and heart to family, friends and co workers for a huge Thanksgiving dinner. No one is a strange to all of us. Happy Thanksgiving.

  • Happy Thanksgiving to you as well! Thank you for genuinely enjoying and placing great value on your customers and fans. I hope to meet you one day…you are the epitome of class and true graciousness.

    PS: Hope Georgie gets a little taste of turkey….he is such a love!

  • Thanks for sharing the beautiful Thanksgiving cards, Anna. You & your staff are right up there with my family & friends of those I am grateful for who bring joy to my life. Can’t wait to see what elegant designs 2019 brings us.

  • Thank you Anna for all you do. You have been a blessing in my life more than you realize. Although I was not at create 4, I was able to get to Create 3 and had the most cherished memories I’ll never forget and met the most wonderful people/crafters. I hope to get to number 5.
    Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family

  • Dear Anna and Team
    You make our days more joyful, and our crafting so much more magical. Thank you for your creative and thoughtful gifts to us each and every day.
    May you, your families and all the Griffinites, enjoy peace, blessings, and appreciation for all we have and all we are able to do.
    May God continue to bless you abundantly.

    Happy Thanksgiving

  • Thank Anna for all that you do to make the world a more beautiful place. Your endless love of the craft shows in all you do. Please take time yourself and your team to enjoy all the blessings in your lives. Happy Thanksgiving to one and all from a very devoted Griffinista! Sending love and hugs to all and a kitty cuddle for Georgie♥️♥️♥️

  • Anna, I walk through the grocery store singing, still so happy about Create. One of the best experiences (after, you know, getting married and having my children 🙂 of my life. I feel very thankful for the people I met – not least of which is you, Anna – and the learning and the fun. These cards are so lovely – I particularly like the one done with hydrangeas and Grace papers. Happy Thanksgiving!

  • Happy Thanksgiving! Of all the many AG items I’ve purchased over the past years, the fall card kit is at the top of my list. I hope you will have another one next season. I’ve received so many compliments on the Thanksgiving cards I’ve sent. And those fall Dresden trims added a special sparkle to them! 😀

  • I am so in “awe” of you. I attended my first Create last weekend and had a fabulous time! From the registration to checkout the experience was just magical. Your organization to make each step flow from one to the next is amazing. Classes were great and I learned new things. Loved the ladies in my ivory group and the table of ladies in the worlds best craft room. Came home with names and addresses of new friends and a 6×6 album with pictures of crafters. Visiting and shopping in your warehouse was the cherry on top of the experience! Thank you, Thank you! I hope to come next year!
    Happy Thanksgiving!

  • Happy Thanksgiving Anna and Crew! As always, your cards are gorgeous. I have learned so much from you. Be blessed!

  • A Very Happy Thanksgiving Day to All you!!
    May you all enjoy every minute with family and friends and delicious traditional delights!! Many Blessings to you all!
    Thanks for your wonderful inspirations, your tireless energy and hardworking efforts.
    They are much appreciated. I could expound further but it is time to get busy cooking and I hope you have a great holiday. Love, Lois N. 🙏🏻🍁🦃❤️

  • Such beautiful cards! Thank you for sharing! I enjoyed following along with Create on-line! Trust you are getting some well-deserved rest, Anna! A blessed Thanksgiving to each and everyone!

  • We all have so much to be thankful for, and Thanksgiving is the day to remind ourselves to count our blessings! I am thankful for your excellent tools and products! When I send a hand made card created with your tools, I know that the recipient will feel special and loved. That’s what it’s all about!
    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

  • Happy thanksgiving to you Anna and your loved ones. Thank you as always for your inspiration, encouragement and excellent quality products you bring to us. Peace and love ❤️

  • Annaa,

    Beautiful!!! Many thanks for sharing!

    Thank you for your generosity at Create! The event reflected your beauty and giving spirit!!! I am so grateful to you for giving me an opportunity to meet so many talented people and use such amazing products!!!

    I will be enjoying your gifts throughout the next months. I also will be sharing them with friends here in Wilmington who were unable to attend Create.

  • Happy Thanksgiving from Florida!! All of these cards are so beautiful. May you and all your staff have a very blessed Thanksgiving with family and friends!!

  • HAPPY THANKSGIVING! I wish everyone of you a day filled with bountiful blessings. At this time of year we take a little more time to reflect and think of all we are thankful for. And most of us are thankful to God for our blessings which include our family, friends, food, shelter and all the other things we tend to take for granted. And then we are thankful for Anna Griffin and her amazing talent to bring us so many beautiful things which we in turn use to bring something beautiful to other people’s lives.

  • Anna and your Wonderful Team,
    Thank you all for making Create such a wonderful event. While at Create, it was so fast-paced and very exhilarating. Back at home now, I can savor each project and gift, conjuring up such wonderful memories. Thank you for not only giving us a wonderful event, but even more importantly, giving us time to be with old and new friends while doing what we all love .. creating something! When describing this event to my kids, they called it a camp, and I guess they were right, Camp Anna! Thank you for your time, energy and attention to detail, it is so appreciated. Happy Thanksgiving and get a little rest!

  • Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you for all the beautiful projects and all of your support and love to your fans

  • So grateful for you and the team at AGI. I don’t think I’d ever before had an experience quite like Create. So unexpected. So amazing. I haven’t the words. (Imagine that.) I’m still dreaming about the craft room and my wonderful 4 days in WW’s chocolate factory. I wish you all a joyous and peace filled Thanksgiving.

    Many wishes to you, your family, staff and everyone on the blog for a very happy and blessed Thanksgiving! ♡♡

  • Thankful for you & All that work with you to bring all these beautiful creative elegant papers & more to create with! Thanks for sharing all these gorgeous Thanksgiving cards. I’ve learned one special thing from you this year via your Grandmother; “Honey, push the Season!” That is going to be my saying for myself to get cards made earlier & sent on time. Hope you have much deserved rest & relaxation. Love & hugs to you! Oh, I was told at the Warehouse you had on black patent leather shoes with red lips on them! And nobody took a photo! Oh, I love shoes! I would love to see those! Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!

  • From Germany many Thankgiving greetings to you, your family and all the team.
    Love all the wonderful cards you show.
    I am working with your dies and the great Empress and have so much fun.
    As my poor brother has cancer again, to make cards with all your things, helps me also for my thoughts to get away and be happy and proud to be able to make something beautiful.
    Thanks

    • Oh, Jela! Happy Thanksgiving to you, and to your brother. Even in times of heartbreak and challenges, its so good that we still have so much to be thankful for! May your brother heal with great foods and much love from those all around him, and may your years be blessed. I am sending healing, loving thoughts to you and to your brother from across the pond… With love!

  • Anna, I am having so much fun with your Holiday Home Decor! It has so many wonderful things! Would it be possible to create something as gorgeous for Thanksgiving? I do have the seasonal soirée cartridge but I would just love to see what you come up with for Thanksgiving.

  • I am so thankful to you Anna. You bring me so much joy everyday! Thank you for all your hard work and sacrifice you’ve made to your loyal Griffinites fans. We always want more and you always deliver! Especially this amazing Black Friday sale. Sorry gotta run – I have some shopping to do! 🙂

  • Happy Thanksgiving to all ! The cards are beautiful. I would be so grateful to be able to watch the Create, even now that it is over. For some reason, no matter what I tried, I could not obtain the live feed. Is it offered somewhere now that I can watch it? Thank you, enjoy Turkey Day.

  • Anna,
    Thank you for you and your staff for creating delightful products. Thank you for giving us so much joy creating beautiful cards for friends and family to enjoy.
    Wishing you and yours a wonderful Thanksgiving.

  • I was really taken with all your live broadcasts at Create. I’m definitely saving my money to come next year!! Your Thanksgiving card are beautiful!!

    I’ll be driving from Sumter SC with my hubby to Savannah to enjoy Thanksgiving with my brother and his family. My son is a Chef in Columbia SC and will be driving down too. Hope your family has wonderful Thanksgiving also.

  • I’m thankful for my family and friends. Most of all my wonderful husband, I love him so. He supports me without fail. Even on HSN craft days. I’m also thankful for those who inspire us to do what we love, thanks Anna. So Happy Thanksgiving everybody.

  • Oh my! Each card more beautiful than the last! Wishing Anna and all of you many blessings at Thanksgiving and always. I’m grateful for this hobby, the beauty it brings, and its ultimate purpose of touching lives!

  • I am ever thankful for good health and great friends! Hoping you and all your staff enjoy the holiday !

  • Happy Thanksgiving! I’m so grateful to you all at Anna Griffin Inc., for the opportunity to tell you what a difference you’ve made in my crafting life, beginning I don’t even know how many years ago. Back when I took Anna griffin classes at a brick and mortar scrapbook store. $20 for a two-page 12×12 layout plus a card! Can’t beat that! And more recently, I’ve reconnected to a friend that I had met while living in Montana in the late 70s/early 80s. After staying in touch for years, we had lost contact a few years back but we’ve recently been comparing notes on our HSN shopping trips. It been great talking to Linda again. I’m thankful for a friendship where you can just pick up as if you hadn’t missed a day of conversation.

  • Happy Thanksgiving to Anna and her staff and to all the crafters who love Anna’s products. I am thankful for the opportunity to attend Create this year where I made new friends, learned new techniques, and was inspired by the many talented teachers and crafters. These cards are so beautiful and inspiring!

  • Happy Thanksgiving to Anna Griffin and staff, I am thankful for all the wonderful ideas and products that you have for us. They enrich our lives all year long and I appreciate you!

  • Very thankful for all that YOU DO!!
    Now send everyone home and relax for a few days – you all deserve it!!

  • There IS so much to be thankful for. The cards are just beautiful and I enjoyed the glimpse you offered us into Create this year. Happy Thanksgiving!

  • Oh, I love the Happy Thanksgiving die cut. I only have the Wishful Thinking die set. I’m gonna need more, especially now that I have the beautiful Empress.

  • Beautiful cards Anna, Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your fabulous staff. You all deserve a rest after the great Create. I wasn’t able to attend but from everything I have read it was fabulous. Thank you for all you do.
