It's almost Thanksgiving. Can you believe it? Where did the year go? Seems like right after Halloween we fly into the rest of the holiday season. We are having 10 people over this Thursday. Wednesday is a dedicated cooking day. I am so fortunate that my husband likes to cook and to help do the dishes. He is in charge of the turkey stuffing and the mashed potato casserole (so good, that they are called, at least in our family, the "mashed potatoes of love". I originally got the recipe from a good friend, Janet Haynes, who got it from her sister. It is a winner. Janet has since passed away, so making these potatoes always makes me think of her. I'm also using some recipes from Gary's mother, who thankfully is still with us (she gave us the stuffing recipe), the candied yams (Gary's dad and he will be over on Thursday), green beans Caesar (my grandmother), and herbed butter for the turkey (Martha Stewart; no relation). I will be using my grandmother's silverware and glassware. So even though these people aren't physically with us, they are in our thoughts and prayers and their traditions are living on.
Today I wanted to share with you a card that I saw when I went to On-Stage. We met a new demonstrator from our area; she lives in Bloomington. Her name is Laura R. and she made this card as a swap. I thought you would like to see it:
She used paper piecing technique to get the different colors on the dress and banner. Isn't it cute? And this stamp set just so happens to be on sale this week - 10% off. Plus a whole bunch of other great stamp sets, kits and accessories. You can get it in French as well. (cards seem so much more sophisticated if they are in French!). Check it out:
Check out the entire sale by clicking on "On-Line Extravaganza" in the upper right hand column. If you see anything you would like to order, just use hostess code:RGH4H6NR
Now I've got to get busy cooking! Hope you enjoyed the card. Until next time,
Sheryl
