Day 22. Gallie update
Day 25. Fours Coats of Glossy
Every year for my entire life we’ve had Thanksgiving dinner. When my mom could no longer “host” dinner I began cooking for my own family and extended. For the past 23 years I have cooked the main components of the meal as well as all the desserts from scratch. This is the very first year my husband and I have decided not to take on the arduous task of hosting and we are going to Myrtle Beach for the week!
Excellent idea. More time to color. 🙂
I will be cooking for my family, probably something pretty simple! But we are considering eating at one of the state park events here as a change of pace, so who knows! Either way, pie will be there.
The Stamping Bella images are amazing; these chickens are too. much. fun! Love their antlers and especially love how you’ve coloured them up! Fabulous! Thanksgiving in Canada has long passed and nope, I didn’t do the cooking (that would have been scary…for everyone!). I did, however, make a salad *grin*
Hugs~carol
I will actually be cooking this year! But just for my little immediate family. Other relatives are visiting elsewhere this year so this is our off year and I’m looking forward to a small meal and not a ton of cleaning up and getting to enjoy time with my kiddos on Thanksgiving.
We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in the UK but I will be cooking Christmas dinner!! we are Pescetarian so Sea Bream roast is a big fav!!!
I love the stamps and I love the video
WOW!!! Love everything about this card. You creating the chick in the sleigh was GREAT! I thought it was the original stamp. Also, the background is AWESOME!!!
Thanksgiving? My mother usually cooks but the past couple years its been difficult to get the family together due to 1/2 of us in TX and the other 1/2 in CA. In addition, I travel for work and get little time off. This year several of us in the RV park are going to do a smorgasboard. My “road” family is as important as my “blood” family.
PS-TY for the video
I love STAMPING Bella! Beautiful card Kathy. I cooked the whole she-bang- turkey, ham, potatoes (sweet and mashed) stuffing, succotash, lemon meringue pie and pecan pumpkin pie. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday!
I will be with family this Thanksgiving, and I won’t be cooking. Thanks for the chance to win!
I am unable to cook this year. I’m a little sad as when you are used to family traditions it seems to throw everything off.
I live in Canada so we have already had our Thanksgiving in October! No I didn’t have to do the cooking, Happy Thanksgiving though to all who live in the US!
Thank you. 🙂
Cute card, love the little chickies!! I don’t cook…usually EVER! ACK, we will be going to daughters for Thanksgiving and I will contribute anything that doesn’t need to be cooked!! 😉
LOL! 🙂
Very cute card!! My husband is the turkey cooker in our family – but I will be on call for the side dishes.
Yes, I will be cooking the full dinner. Thanks for the chance to win!
Hey Kathy, what a beautiful card! I love stamping bella images! Thank you for all your kind comments on instagram. We don’t celebrate thanksgiving in Greece but I wish we did!
I’m not sure if I will be cooking the turkey or not this year, but I always do side dishes and pies regardless of whose house we go to. I look forward to spending time with my family and enjoying the day. Thanks for sharing the video with us, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your loved ones.
Yes, we are cooking. Luckily my husband doesn’t mind cooking so he helps.
Love your nail color 🙂
Very cute little peeps!
Thanksgiving is at my daughters house this year but I’ll be doing a lot of the cooking.
Not sure yet. . . but probably will. I usually make a traditional Thanksgiving dinner after doing a run or bike ride.
I am cooking dinner this year. My father in law is not doing well (he has a rare form of leukemia) that he’s been fighting for over two years. Our family thinks this may be his last holiday and we want him to be as comfortable as possible. I will have lots of decorations and a Martha Stewart dinner table set to perfection for him. It’s a lot of work but I’m glad to do it for him.
How special and loving. You are capturing the true meaning of Thanksgiving. Sounds like it will be picture perfect too. 🙂
Not cooking here in NC. It’s just me and my sweet dog. I usually go out with a friend. But this year a friend is bringing me leftovers. Isn’t that awesome!
You guys should both do this more often! I get Stamping Bella’s blog too so you will find me there. In fact, I won something on her blog this year. You guys are great at coloring and her stamps are so dang cute and I want them all and…. What more can I say? I loved what you did with those chicks and chicks are my favorite color although not always. At the Big E they have a Farmarama building and they have a chick hatchery. I actually saw one hatch out of the shell and it was so cool! Of course when it came out I apologized for the fact that I was having chicken that night for supper. LOL Anyway, they aren’t all yellow. Some were brown, some were brown and white and some were black and white and some were yellow. I wonder if like babies blue eyes that don’t always stay blue for their whole lives if the color on chicks changes when they get older? Something to ponder on. Anyway, you did an a-ma-zing job on your card and those chicks never looked cuter. I have to watch the video.
You asked about Thanksgiving. Our house has always been the only house big enough to handle Thanksgiving. By that I mean we have the table with the leave in the middle so it seats a lot of people. Not as many as the Osmonds and Duggers have but you get my meaning. Both of my sisters have small houses so there is no room for all of us. There are 5 in my family & my sister has 2 kids and then there is my cousin Darren who won’t be in FL for Thanksgiving so he’ll be here. Last year my youngest sister got a turkey for Thanksgiving from where she works (she has a great boss) so we don’t have to go out and buy one, it’s in our freezer. Now all we have to buy is white potatoes, sweet potatoes and a veggie and crescent rolls and make some amazing gravy for that turkey. Am I making you hungry yet? I know I’m making me hungry! LOL
Cute, cute, cute!! I just ordered a few of their stamps. Can’t wait to get them. And no my lovely Step-daughter is cooking this year.
Super cute n Adorable card !! We don’t celebrate Thanks giving here in India 🙂
My husband fries a turkey & makes some some sides.
My mom makes stuffing & gravy.
My mother-in-law makes broccoli casserole & pumpkin pie.
I open a can of cranberry sauce; does that count as cooking??
{I take care of the table decorations & name tags}
I want your job. So you should have plenty time to yourself to color. LOL 🙂
Hoping to be going out for Thanksgiving dinner. I cook every year.
I will be cooking and will get some help from Ina Gartin, Make it Ahead cookbook.
This will be the first year in 28 years that I have not cooked Thanksgiving dinner. My oldest son bought his first home and plans to enlist his sons (7 & 11) to cook his very first dinner for the entire family. I have offered to help but he wants to do it all by himself! I am looking forward to passing the THanksgivind Dinner torch on to him! Excited to try his meal as he is a pretty good cook! TFS!
Wonderful new tradition. Enjoy your family 🙂
This is the first year in 11 that we are going home for Thanksgiving. Usually, my family comes up to us, but my new nephew will be baptized that weekend. So no cooking for me this year.
Good timing your new nephew has. Enjoy. 🙂
My family gets together Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve each year. There were nine kids- we are all grown, married with children and some of those kids are married with children! Super fun! My brothers cook turkeys and my sisters and I make the appetizers, sides & desserts!
You are so insanely talented…so talented. I just LOVE watching your videos; you do amazing work; thanks for sharing your talents with us!!
I can’t wait to color today. I’ve never seen the tip to shade the chicks like that. I will definitely be trying that. I don’t cook an entire meal for Thanksgiving but I usually contribute a side dish of some sort. We usually travel for Thanksgiving holiday so we might have our meal at home on the weekend. That way we still get left overs. LOL! Thanks Kathy for all the wonderful ideas. Your card today is just adorable! I want to try coloring packages like you did too. So cute and much more fun than just a plain color!
If you only have to do a side dish it sounds like you’ll have some extra time on your hands to color. Thrilled to hear my tips inspired you. 🙂
I have hosting and cooking Thanksgiving dinner for over 40 years, and I enjoy every bit of it! I love Stamping Bella and your card is super cute!
Love everything about this adorable card! As to Thanksgiving, my brother and his wife always host and everyone brings something. That way, no one has to spend the day in the kitchen.
Such an adorable card, Kathy.
We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in my part of the world.

“Stamping Bella has some heavy weight talent on their blog so I was a little nervous for today’s post.” For real? Your talent has no match! It’s unique and special and you make unforgettable cards! Totally loved everything about your card!
Awww thank you. I am blushing. 🙂
Omg the card is so adorable. I live in Canada and we celebrating Thanksgiving already. Yes I did the cooking and will also be doing Christmas dinner.
Love all the little tips and techniques you used on this adorable card. I will be cooking traditional Thanksgiving dinner this year and then dieting until Christmas. LOL:)
Considering the rest of the family has all gone organic/gluten free/sugar free and all the rest of that I’ll be cooking my own “perfect” meal after joining the family for T’giving dinner of what I’m not sure, but it’ll be something chicken.
LOL. My kind of woman. 🙂
Since we live in the Netherlands we don’t Thanksgiving diner, but we are cooking 😉 ! Love Stamping Belle ! Beautiful card.
Our kids can’t be with us this year, so my dear hubby is taking me out for dinner. He’s still going to cook a turkey and a small Thanksgiving dinner so we can have leftovers, but for the main meal we will be eating out. Woohoo!
Wow! Adorable card !!!
I’m Italian and we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving here but I’ve started to baking Christmas biscuits and in the next days to baking Pandoro, a tradiotnal Italian Christmas cake!
Thanks for this amazing chance!!!
This card is so super cute! Thanksgiving this year is at my brother’s house and everyone contributes. So I will be cooking but not the entire dinner!
My mom likes to have everyone at her house. I always have helped and the last few years done the majority there. This year with less coming I am trying to convince my mom to just let me have it here…not in favor of it bought ahead and warmed up…yuck!
Great video and coloring!
Good luck. 🙂
Great video! Coloring as usual is phenomenal!
I love Stamping Bella images. This card is so cute!
We’ll be going to our daughter’s house for Thanksgiving. We’ll be bringing the turkey. I’ll be making mashed potatoes ~ made with butter, sour cream, milk, and shallots.
Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks for the chance to win.
Such a sweet card. I Love Stamping Bella and have a small hoard…lol As for Thanksgiving, my mom likes to do all the cooking, lucky me eh?
Very lucky! 🙂
I love Stamping Bella and this is a perfect and cute image for Thanksgiving celebration and colored so beautifully! But we don’t celebrate this festival in India. But love to make cards on this theme every year! Thanks for the chance to win!
Another great video and card, thanks Kathy! Yes, I’m cooking for Thanksgiving, I’m a bit spoiled because hubby enjoys making the turkey, so I haven’t cooked one in 31 years! But I prepare the sides, am famous for my sweet potato casserole, with pecan crust. Cooking is a family affair–but we are smaller in numbers, with daughter and hubby moved to the Midwest, other family members not making the drive , so we will be small in numbers. But a new person–son’s girlfriend, who is bringing light to the family–along with plans to bring a dish from her family traditions. My happiest times is when my kids, hubby and I are cooking in our kitchen together–so much fun, with lots of jokes and fun.
Sounds perfect! Enjoy. 🙂
We’ve eliminated the stress of cooking dinner and we go out now for Thanksgiving. All of us women in the family are more pleasant during the holiday because of it. And we are all able to relax and spend time together all day
You women rock! 🙂
This is a super sweet image, and your card is so adorable 🙂
Your card and the Stamping Bella image are adorable. I love those chicks.
Thanksgiving will be at my daughter and son in laws house this year. Always a great meal and a fun time. I won’t be doing the cooking but will certainly be bringing a side dish and a dessert.
I’m British, we don’t have thanksgiving.
I will be cooking dessert only! My mom and boyfriend will cook the rest?
So cute! I will be cooking if not the entire meal at least a portion of it. My daughter in law is a chef and wants to have dinner but they are in the process of moving and it could be that week!
We always celebrate Thanksgiving with my daughter, the grandkids and her in-laws. I will be cooking something but not sure what my part will be this year.
Your card looks so amazing.♥♥♥ Here in Germany we’re not celebrate thanksgiving and therefore i’m not cooking for this day. But on christmas day we cook a yummy christmas dinner.
Many thanks for the chance to win.
Hugs
Angela
My sister prepares Thanksgiving dinner and she always assigns me a task, so it’s easy for me. Love Stamping Bella stamps.
So stinkin cute! I love this stamp! I’m not cooking for Thanksgiving, as we’re going to my hubby’s cousin’s who is a master chef on the day of. The day after I am celebrating with my family and my mom is cooking if she is feeling up to it or we may go to a Chinese restaurant–like a Jewish Christmas. LOL XD
Gorgeous card; love those sweet chickies!
I am tasked with bringing these non-cooking items to our Thanksgiving feast: cheese & crackers, fruit, celery and olives. (And hubby is tasked with mopping the kitchen floor afterwards. lol).
Cute card! For Thanksgiving this year, I am working, so won’t be able to partake. Usually, we have a “traditional” dinner-turkey, potatoes, stuffing, cranberries, etc. I love turkey!!
I will be at home eating like everyday.
They are so cute and I love the background! My favorite cookies are sugar cookies, I know boring right?! But you can make a bunch of different kinds of cookies from one recipe!
We already had our thanksgiving in October and I did cook for it, but a week later! 🙂 It was delicious!! But by the end of that week I was thoroughly tired of turkey. Cute card – Stamping Bella always have such adorable images.
Oh that’s so cute!
Here in New Zealand Thanksgiving isn’t celebrated,so no,I don’t cook for it.
Very cute and cheery. We are going to a relative’s house for Thanksgiving and we all bring a dish to share.
What a wonderful day, Kathy’s back with a video, we have a president elect to take over in Jan. and best of all I am home and able to relax and color. Love this card and the detail of doing a stencil after the fact. Always a pleasure to watch you work Kathy. I notice some were mentioning Thanksgiving, we have started a tradition that Thanksgiving weekend we get family together and make ornaments that we take home and put on our tree for the Christmas holidays. Looking forward to family time and crafting.
Lovely idea. Enjoy 🙂
Hi Kathy, I really enjoy your tutorials! So happy I found your youtube channel to subscribe to. 🙂
Thank you and welcome. I’;m excited you found my youtube channel. 🙂
Cute card! I won’t be cooking this year. Friends have invited us over to dinner. Always a fun time with them.
super sweet card!
love stamp and colorng look amazing!
hugs
I’m going out for dinner on thanksgiving.
My son and his girl friend have invited me to
Lura’s house for the meal. I will take something
(pie, salad, ?) that I’ll fix for the meal. Can’t
just go empty-handed.
the little reindeer-chicks are darling.
thanks for sharing.
I haven’t decided yet whether or not I’ll be cooking.
What a fun card Kathy! Stamping Bella has some really super stamps! Looking forward to seeing what you do for them. I cooked Thanksgiving dinner here in October. Turkey, stuffing , cranberry, parsnips, carrots, potatoes, and pumpkin pie with real whipped cream for dessert! And there’s just the two of us here. All our family lives far away. I have lots of leftovers for Potpies. Yum.
My husband and I cook for our family.
Yes, I’ll be cooking for Thanksgiving, but I’ll get lots of help!
Yes I do cook for Thanksgiving, Roast Turkey and one other meat or fish, and of course sweet potato is a must!!
I wasn’t able to cook for Thanksgiving this year so hubby did. We had the traditional Thanksgiving dinner. There is just the 2 of us. As you know out Thanksgiving is in Oct and my birthday weekend. It was very nice. I wish all a very Happy Thanksgiving.
I just adore those beautiful chicks from Stamping Bella. I think they are just so adorable. Love your coloring as always and your video. Such an adorable card.
Another awesome card. I love the thought process. I love the extra things you do.. removing the packages and adding the chick and eye brows and lashes.. So awesome.
My daughter in law sent my hubby and me tickets to visit them and the grandkids for my birthday Nov. 20th and Thanksgiving. We will have an awesome 10 days in Las Vegas.. and warmer weather.. Cant wait to see the grandkids. I will be helping with preparing the meal and eating and giving THANKS.
You will have the perfect Thanksgiving. Happy Birthday! Thank you for your kind words.:)
I’m cooking but just for me and my husband this year!
Loved watching your creative process with coloring, adding white, cutting it out… and the result is even more fun than your initial idea.
I haven’t tried blending this way (using acrylic block), but now I’ll give it a try. Hopefully I won’t forget about it 🙂
Haven’t seen these brushes before, maybe a regular watercolor brush will do the same…
About adding too much white… I used to do the same and had okay results with coloring again over white areas. The downside is that white ink stains marker tip…
And about Thanksgiving… it’s a new Holiday for us, but we are trying to celebrate it in a traditional way. We’ll get a rolled stuffed turkey breast and roast it in the oven.
In my country we do not usually celebrate thanksgiving, I’ll probably be cooking something for Christmas
Such a sweet card! I am 38 years old and have never cooked a turkey, but I will sure be baking pies for Thanksgiving!
Adorable card! I am cooking for Thanksgiving. My parents will be visiting from Canada and I’m excited to be seeing them.
Wonderful card, cute images, and yes, hubby and I enjoy making a big meal for turkey day. He makes the turkey and I do all the rest including pumpkin and pecan pies. Yum!
We travel 2 hours for family dinner, so all I do is bring rolls…..
Awesome card, Kathy! Your videos are always wonderful! Yes, I will be cooking for Thanksgiving. Just for a few this year as family is spread from coast to coast but we still want all the favorite goodies!!
Wonderful card. I love those Stamping Bella chicks. I really like the background…so creative. Great card. We will all be cooking…dinner at daughter #2 & hubby, with extras by daughter #1 & hubby..and myself. The twins live with their spouses and children “Out West”, so we’ll just be yakking off and on all day. They’ve figured a way to play video games on the tv online, so we all can join in on our iPhones or iPads. Lots of laughing…and football, of course.
OH my goodness!!! This card is so cute!!!
Yes I am cooking for Thanksgiving!! I make the pies every year and I make at 9 for the family!!
Wow. Impressive. Enjoy. 🙂
These stamp images are so playful. Great job on the train. We may eat Thanksgiving at a local restaurant like we did last year. Our son ends up doing the holidays with his own family or his wife’s family now.
I won’t be hosting Thanksgiving this year but I will be bringing a side dish and dessert. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it!
Love how you did the background Kathy!
No, I am not cooking on thanksgiving as I don’t celebrate it.
I try to be thankfull every day 🙂
Utterly adorable! I love your cute ideas.
Such awesome characters, coloring, your cards make me happy. I have learned so much from your blog.
Super cute card, I love those chicks! No, I won’t be cooking as we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in Northern Ireland 🙂
Such a darling card. And yes I am cooking Thanksgiving Dinner for the family 🙂
Adorable card! Yes, I will be cooking Thanksgiving dinner as I have done for the past 35 years. Even though it’s just my hubby and me now, I still have to cook the turkey dinner because we love the leftovers and making turkey noodle soup afterwards.
Adorable card! No cooking for me. Thankful to have wonderful cooks in the family. They let me bring dinner rolls and decorations.
Stamping Bella always has such cute stamps! Adorable card. No cooking for me on Thanksgiving Day. Perhaps coloring? Thanks for this chance to win.
Wonderful card!!! We are going over to my son and daughter in law’s house for Thanksgiving but I will be bringing a few food items that they requested I make:)
Not cooking . Son and wife are handling the arrangements. Too much fun to be a guest! Thanks for the chance to win!
Love everything about this card!
Kathy I don’t know why you were nev=rousing about your card today because your talent stands up to anyone! Your did a wonderful job on the card and I love you make videos for us.
Love this card. Our large family does a “bring a dish” Thanksgiving, so I’ll be making Grandma’s handed-down recipe for her wonderful macaroni and cheese. It makes me the most popular relative with the kids!
Stunning card & fab colouring
Every year my mom cooks Thanksgiving dinner for the whole family. This is the first Thanksgiving that I’m not at home (because I got married;) ) but I think it’s about time I start learning the family recipe.
I have no one with whom to share Thanksgiving. so I will be solo again this year. I will give thanks for all my blessings and enjoy pizza, a great bottle of wine and the Netflix catalog. Oh, and of course my favorite dessert of all – pumpkin pie. The upside of being solo on Thanksgiving is that I get all the pie!! 🙂
We do a pot luck style dinner at my folks. That way no one person is over burdened with paying for & cooking an entire feast.
Now that we are empty-nesters, my hubby and I both cook. We will only have one daughter home for Thanksgiving so it will just be a turkey breast for the 3 of us. Our other daughter lives in another state and has to work. 🙁 We will miss her, but understand. Thanks for a chance to win. 😀
Thank you for sharing all of your clever techniques!
Hahaha! The Bella Chicks are always fun!
I don’t cook. ever. if I can possibly avoid it!! lol!!
Oh Kathy, this card is so much fun and so beautifully colored!
I’m lucky enough to NOT be cooking for Thanksgiving! 🙂
These are the cutest thing ever!!! I’m from Canada and we had Thanksgiving back in October. But we made turkey dinner with all the fixing;)
Yep, am cooking a big dinner!! Cooking turkey with cornbread stuffing, gravy, green beans, Cranberries, Sweet Potatoes. The hardest part is having 3 different people coming from out of town! What fun!! Even bought a blow up mattress because all have to have their own bedrooms.
My mom hosts Thanksgiving but the rest of us all contribute something to the meal. I usually bring pies and it’s usually pumpkin.
I love your card, way too fun!!: Yep I am cooking this year, we are just staying home eating too much and relaxing!!!
My husband is cooking the turkey this year, he loves to do it. I think he buys the biggest turkey so he can have leftovers .
I will be cooking for Thanksgiving.
What a cute card! I LOVE the Stamping Bella images! Yes, I am cooking this year for Thanksgiving…for the 38th year! I always seem to be the one to do the cooking. Oh well, it’s a great time for the family to be together. 🙂
Not cooking onThe Day, and if I can get out of it I will for some reason this family thinks they need to eat this meal more than once. Got to much going on this year so I would like to Not have to be the one to Host the 2nd meal. Cooking and Food not my thing, I would rather craft or clean my horse barn!!
Your coloring is wonderful and the card is darling! Yes, I am cooking this year for my step-son, three of my four sons, one wife and one girlfriend and three of our grandchildren. My husband and I have been taking the group to a local restaurant for the past couple years but I wanted to cook this year! It should be fun and I’m looking forward to baking a couple pies on Wednesday and the rest of the dinner Thursday.
yes, I will be cooking for Tthanksgiving, just how much is yet to be determined, but pumpkin pie always. . . .
Very nice card. Those chicks are adorable! Please enter me. Thanks.
not cooking. lucky enough to be included by relatives.
Love those chicks and your card. I will be cooking but not the entire meal. Everyone in our family comes together and we have a feast…yum!
Ohhh another wonderful card. Love Stamping Bella. Those little chickies are sooo cute. Im not cooking for Thanksgiving but thats only because I live in Australia and we don’t celebrate it.
What an adorable card! Yes, I will be cooking this year. My mother-in-law lives with us now so that we can help care for her. My brother-in-law will probably come down for the day and I’ll cook for the 4 of us. Our children are out of town so we won’t be together on Thanksgiving (though our son and his family will arrive late on Black Friday).
Fabulous card! Love Bella stamps! I won’t be hosting the meal but I will cook something to take over to my brother’s.
I will be cooking, but probably not traditional Thanksgiving…our son turns 11 on Thanksgiving Day! He was our 10 pound Thanksgiving Turkey! He loves that we will all be around and that he gets to plan the day!
Yes! We will be cooking the dinner for just the 3 of us so it won’t be a big one but it will be fun. We might even put up the Christmas tree.
Such a lovely card.. love it… Thank you…
We dont have Thanks giving but yes I do cook for all our festivals…
Hmmmm, I am cooking nothing for Thanksgiving. My oven doesn’t work. But I am sure my daughter will be cooking a yummy turkey with all the trimmings and make her special mashed potatoes. Cute card and great coloring as usual. I pinned of course.
Really cute! Having so much fun with the 30 day challenge!
I try to avoid cooking for Thanksgiving if I can – but I will always make pumpkin pies – I like my family recipe the best!
I just love your idea to pull another birdie in the sled! Great tips on changing the thickness of the outlines and doodles. I could have sure used that tip yesterday when I felt enormous stress over the election. You’ll be able to see how nervous I was when I post the oooogly poor deer I took my frustrations out on! I have not been able to stand long enough to cook in about 10 yrs. Most of my life is spent lying on one side to color in bed due to pain and illness. Love to you and all the other crafty friends!!!! ♥
I will be doing all the cooking for Thanksgiving.
As usual, I loved your card.
Adorable card! Love the background and those cute chicks!
Going to my Aunt’s assisted living facility, where she lives in the Memory Care Unit, for Thanksgiving, so no cooking for me!
Adorable card I love that you put another chick in the sled! Great tips as always! Huhs
No thanksgiving day for us in the UK, so will just be a normal dinner for us
Well, I don’t cook for thanksgiving because we don’t celebrate it in Israel 😉
I love stamping bella! Great stamps!!!
I’m Italiano, so I don’t celebrate Thanksgiving.
Anyway….this card is Amazing and the stamp super cute!!!
It is just my son and I so I’m not cooking. We will probably go out to eat
Kathleen
Love stamping Bella and your cards so cute.
We don’t have Thanksgiving as a tradition in Sweden – but having lived in the US we as a family like the tradition and what it stands for and will actually have our own adapted Thanksgiving – with the whole shabang and extra works so it’s Turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy and cranberry sauce just the way my American Mammaw tought me and then for dessert we are doing three pies since we never can agree on the favorite so it will be Pecan, key lemon and Mammaws super secret Banana Split pie. We’ll be full for the entire weekend I’m sure 🙂
Can I come for dessert??? LOL Enjoy. 🙂
I have no idea what I will be doing on Thanksgiving. I have been invited to join my son’s in-laws, but they still don’t have actual plans. My mom will be in town, but I don’t know if my sisters have planned anything. (I typically just go with the flow and don’t get too worked up making plans. I have worked more holidays than most people and have been blessed to have family who were willing to schedule the meal around my work schedule.) S0, The answer to your question is a big question mark! The little chicks are just too cute! And thanks for the tip about the packaging. I do that with my water-based markers but never thought to try it with my alcohol markers.
I wish I could say I would be cooking for my family this year but hospitals never close. Unfortunately I will be at work this Thanksgiving.
Lovely card! I cook daily.
I love all of the Stampingbella stamps – have a few of my own. I love what you did with these chicks – so cute! For Thanksgiving we go to my mother’s house. We all share in making and bringing the food. We are all taking on more of the staple things she always did as she is 93. We still go to her house because it just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving if we didn’t. She loves seeing the little ones that come. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!!
How wonderful! Enjoy. 🙂
I am very blessed my wonderful husband and son are cooking Thanksgiving dinner this year!! There are only 4 of us that are going to be here this year but we should have a great time. I am in charge of all the Thanksgiving decorating.
Love the card. So darn cute!! I will not be cooking on Thanksgiving. My hubby is the chef and I feel so blessed!! The two of us will have his wonderful Chinese Pepper Steak. Totally untraditional, but will be delicious but little clean up after the meal!!
My house is the gathering place for holidays, so I’m always cooking. Even if I have to work Thanksgiving, we will celebrate it another day, and as always, I will be cooking . I do enjoy it, though, and it makes me feel good that I’m able to cook holiday meals for my family. Its the only time we all get together, so we have to make the most of it!
Awesome stuff right there! I will be cooking Turkey!
Hi Kathy! Love following all the wonderful creations on insta! Now onto the question at hand…yes, we will be cooking! My husband and I always do Thanksgiving at our house. One of my favorite things, is getting to cook together, which we don’t get to do very often. Yum!!
Night sky with stencil! So clever and cute! As for the Thanksgiving, we are not celebrate it in Europe, but I’m very inspired to cook a pumpkin pie this year!
Super adorable card! The plan is for my parents to come to my house for Thanksgiving, so I will be cooking (and cleaning – ugh).
Another beautiful, adorable and whimsical card Kathy!! I am Canadian so our Thanksgiving was in October (it is the second Monday of October). A few years ago, we replaced the traditional dinner with a family brunch, followed by a game afternoon. Nobody cooks and we all have fun LOL 🙂
I am from Spain and live in the UK and as far as I know in neither of those countries we celebrate Thanksgiving, so I won’t be cooking. But I know my sister will, because she is on Holiday travelling around USA 🙂
I always invite family and friends over so I love to entertain and cook Turkey!!!!
We are cooking a belated Thanksgiving on the Saturday after, for traveling family coming to visit. Can’t wait!
Yes, I am cooking for Thanksgiving, having family and friends over 🙂
No thanksgiving dinner in Sweden 😉
Love everything about the card and your nail polish
NO WAY am I cooking !!! LOL, I don’t cook and have never cooked, I told my husband on our first date ( because I knew he was the one ) that I don’t cook, and will never learn to cook, so he would be clear on that and 17 years later I have never been in that kitchen true to my word. My husband is a PRINCE as you can tell.
You sure do have a PRINCE. You are aslo a smart woman. LOL 🙂
More time? Yes, please. I invite my friends so I definitely cooking, but luckily for me my husband is great with cleaning so he can help prepare home I love stamps, I ordered few sets and can wait to use it
Well I think I should give a small backstory. Growing up while my grandma was alive we always had thanksgiving dinner. Then that stopped when she left us. But, I got married at 23 and my husbands family would gather at his grandmothers house. Everyone nieces nephews,uncles 1st and 2nd cousins. Even ex’s would show up for Mommy Jackson. The wonderful thing is that after she left us, it continued on in her honor. So yes, I’ll prepare something to take and add to the feast. I’m blessed to have my family join us as well (mother,brothers) so it’s all good.
Your card is gorgeous. No thanksgiving down here so no cooking either. Saving it up for christmas ☺
I’m cooking a few dishes and thankfully I’m not hosting. I’d rather cook than host.
Cute card! I love the chicks series from Stamping Bella — they’re all so adorable!
GORGEOUS!!! Love it so much and those SB chicks are so cute! :o) Thank you for the opportunity to win amazing prize. Well, I don’t cook for Thanksgiving, because we don’t celebrate it in Croatia. But I do for some other occasions. :o) Hugs!!
The little chicks are so, so adorable! In my family, my husband and I always host Thanksgiving but everyone brings pieces of the dinner. Thanks Kathy!
Since we celebrate both the Canadian and American Thanksgiving for the Canadian Thanksgiving I cook the food with my mother. Then for the American Thanksgiving this year we are hosting but it’s potluck so everyone else brings the food. Adorable cards…great images to colour.
We alternate who does what each year.. So my sis is cooking Thanksgiving and Im doing our Christmas dinner this year!! But i will still make some goodies!
Who doesn’t cook on Thanksgiving?! I love turkey and if I don’t cook it no one will! 😉
I think so…or at least I’ve offered. We will see.
Hi Kathy:-) Great card, loved to watch your process:-)
As for the cooking, we don´t celebrate Thanksgiving here, but I do love cooking in general.
My mom wasn’t up to making dinner the past year or two so my aunt and I stepped in and took over the kitchen. Now that mom is gone, we’re still “co-hosting” dinner at dad’s since it’s still somewhat the central location for the family to meet. We actually talked on the phone yesterday to plan the menu and figure out who’s going to do what since we assign several dishes to people who live locally. She and I live 2 and 6hrs away respectively so we can’t do it all on our own.
We’ll have our usual 2…lunch at my family’s home, which I bring a side or 2 plus desert. And dinner at my in laws which I bring the same! This year we’ll have company at my home the Tuesday before which we’ll have a smoked with some non traditional sides!
Can’t get any cuter than these chicks.
I will be joining my husband’s large family in Ohio where everyone contributes. I will be bringing fresh cranberry orange relish and stuffing.
New job, no time for our usual hosting of TGiving for 10-13 people at our home–so we’re still hosting, but at a restaurant. And I’m PSYCHED—more time for crafting!
Kathy, we already had our Thanksgiving here in Canada…and yes, I did all the cooking! But I didn’t mind. My adult kids and their spouses were here and that’s what counts!
CONGRATULATIONS on being Guest Designer Kathy 🙂
ADORE the images, colouring and scene of your card – WOW!!!
We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving here in Australia but there is sure to be the usual cooking for meals at our house. We’re looking forward to having the family gather together for Christmas … getting close to counting the sleeps now!!!
THANK YOU for the inspiration and the chance to win.
Yes, I’ll be cooking the bulk of thanksgiving dinner and then transporting it over to my daughters. Cute card.
My husband is going to cook the turkey. I will be cooking pies all TG week. My girls cook too and help it all come together. My mom will be making salad, cranberry sauce and a dessert. Great coloring tips, Kathy! Thanks for all you share!
This year will be a new tradition for us. My daughter is a college student in Eastern Washington she just moved into her own apartment. So my daughter and her roommate are doing thanksgiving this year, with a little help from mom and dad I’m sure but looking forward to it. Adorable card Kathy
Love how you’ve cleverly used this stampset from stamping Bella. This scene is perfect ! I love everything about this card !! We don’t celebrate Thanksgiving here in Singapore but I wish we did.
Adorable images, great card! Love that stencil look as a backdrop!
P.S. Not very often do I not host Thanksgiving, but this year will be is CO!
No thanksgiving dinner in Denmark – sorry.
I like the stamp set, it’s a bit different, and I love it.
I color much better than I cook, so I’m in charge of pies and decorations!
Love your card and the chicken! We don’t celebrate thanksgiving (germany), so I don’t have to cook something special 😀
Those chicks are so cocky and cute! They’ll be dressing up someone’s holiday! Our tradition was moms house til everyone was too far away. My girls and I still had our Thanksgiving there til she passed. Now since we live from 200 to 900 miles away from each other we do what we can. This year will have my girls at their paternal grandfather’s. I’ll be at my husband’s family a few miles away. Hopefully they will be able to stop by for a bit coz my husband’s mom will be there, too! It’s tricky. I will see them and spend time with them but not necessarily on Thanksgiving day.
Your coloring is amazing. I really enjoy your post.
Thanksgiving for us is our usual, kids even tho grown want all the same dishes. Turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes, broccoli casserole, freezer corn or corn pudding, orange salad and of course, cushaw pie yum!

Love your card, Kathy! I am a huge Stampingbella fan. How can you not be with stamps like the ones you used today???
I will not have to cook this Thanksgiving- only have to eat! No problem, there!!
Such an adorable card, and I love this stamp!
PS forgot to add, I will be cooking this Thanksgiving.
We don’t celebrate thanksgiving where I’m from but I’m sure mom will make something very nice for us to eat
