Secondly, let's talk weather.........it's FREEZING here in Kansas! I am definitely not a cold weather fan so I'm a little grumpy about it! But the cold weather season does enable us to create fun wintry cards though right? Today's card features Hanna from the set Tis the Season. I used Copic markers to color the images then airbrushed the stars for a pretty blue blow. The starts are twinkling with Stickles. I wanted more of my patterned paper to show through so I cut a semi-circle out of the main image with a plain Spellbinder's Circle Die Template. Then I added a Spellbinder's cut circle and stamped and airbrushed the big snowflake. This is adhered to the card front with SU! dimensionals slightly off center. Hanna's skirt is also paper pierced from the same Basic Grey Figgy Pudding patterned paper. The strings for the stars are hand drawn.
So who would like a FREE Hanna stamp set? The two sentiments below are from a brand new all sentiment set called Things Hanna Would Say. You could be a lucky winner of this not yet released stamp set. Check out Kristi's blog HERE for more details and be sure to visit the other Hanna Stamps Designer Team blogs.......we're all giving away a FREE stamp set!!
To enter for the drawing, which will be held on Sunday, please reply to this post with an answer to the following question: What do you do AFTER Thanksgiving dinner? Do you nap? Play games? Go for a hay rack ride? Head off to another dinner that you're too full to even think about? I know for us, we'll not be having a Thanksgiving dinner on my family's side. My mom needs her rest and having her home and recovering is what I'm really thankful for this year. Have a great holiday, eat some turkey for me and be safe travelling!

We rent movies every year and just hang out after eating dinner. Happy Thanksgiving!
Well we havent had TG with our family in the past 3 yrs, for statrers its a 12 hour drive and we have a big supper at the church. But for Christmas we alwasy have a big meal, then dad falls asleep, us ladies do the dishes and then its time for presents! after that we usually play some games and eat dessert.
I nap & read the sale ads!!
Oh I'm glad your mom is doing well. My dad had this done last year...I was amazed at how soon he was up and going!
We usually play board games after Thanksgiving dinner (of course the football games are on in the background...lol!)
Well, we do the dishes (yes, its got to be done...). Once they are put away we play a game of cards. This year we had a "lego" thanksgiving day float contest, so we had to judge the three floats. The winner was "A tribute to Habitat for Humanity." (It was a partially built house with workers around it! --janet d.
My hubby and I do dishes and then take a nap. Later my girlfriend and niece look through the ads to see if there is thing worth getting up and 4 am for . Glad you mom will be home speedy recovery to her.
I did dishes and then made some cards. Only the 3 of us this year so it was a quiet thanksgiving.
After Thanksgiving dinner, I load up the dishwasher and play with my triplet nieces.
Thanks for the candy!

I am thankful for my family and especially my husband if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be where I am today.

Sit back with a glass of champange, and chat, until we are hungry again, LOL.
Happy Thanksgiving,

The weather is so chilly here too! After dinner this year I was on clean up duty. But after I got the kitchen put back to normal and the company was done I sat down and did some stitching!
What a great opportunity! Thanks! We usually try and convince my mom to let us do the dishes until we give up then veg on the couch
First, I just have to say that I love your blog and I check it everyday. Your mother is in our thoughts and prayers. And I absolutely LOVE the card you made in this post! That is such a great way to show off more of the paper. After our Thanksgiving feast we fight the urge to nap and head to the theater to see a movie! Thanks for the chance to win this great set!
~Crystal M.
nap and then some serious dessert that we have no room for! Oh and then xmas movies! Thanks for the chance to win! Happy Thanksgiving
We just sit and visit and maybe play cards.
Holy moly I think I'm comment #218...lets see after dinner/lunch we watch football and play board games. Then I go through all of the sale ads to see if I am going out during black friday.
I hope your mom has a speedy recovery and feels better at home very soon. I didn't have one this year due to family health issues also, but I have tons of great memories to be thankful for.
After dinner, WE DID THE DISHES LOL!!
Unfortunately, Thanksgiving isn't anything which is celebrated in Scotland. But I am reading all you stories about shopping, decorating and stuff like tha and envy you! *smile*
I am sure that soesn't qualify me for taking part in the draw *tears*
I don't know why, but I can't log in myself.
Take care,
love,
Nessie
we don't celebrate thanksgiving , but after any great meal, A nap is always good. Maryann
After Thanksgiving, we clean up, watch a little football (not my favorite thing), rest to gather energy to eat some more.
I am thankful that we live near our grandchildren and see their sweet faces at our Thanksgiving dinner table each year.
What a great blog candy offer. I can't wait to see what Hanna has to say. Thanks so much for sharing.
You're from Kansas??? I'm in KC! Only on the MO side!! We don't really have any specific traditions other than the traditional holiday meal. Sometime we travel home to see our extended family (northern Iowa) and sometimes we just stay here. My son has not been well since Sept. so we opted to stay here. I did get out the china and fixed the whole meal myself. My daughter said it was the best thanksgiving we've ever had! I'm thankful for my family!!!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Relax with a glass of wine and visit with our guests.
Went to my sisters house were there was 30 people. So after dinner and the dishes we just sat around all afternoon and talked and ate dessert.
After dinner we usually sit around a play cards for awhile. We continue to snack a bit too!
Happy Thanksgiving. I'm so glad your mom is doing well ... yet another thing for which to be deeply thankful! We like to either play a card game or work a jigsaw puzzle after dinner...something many people can enjoy doing together.
Definately a Nap, then family games.
We play games, board games mostly, maybe watch a fun family movie. But as soon as the table is cleared, the kids get a board game out that everyone can join in. I love Thanksgiving.
Our family plays games after dinner and before pie! Last night we played Totally 80's trivia....very hard! Thanks for the chance!
Yeah, more blog candy!!! Guess what we do after our big meal on Thanksgiving?! We go shopping!!! That's right, we try to get a jump-start on our Black Friday shopping. No crowds and some great deals!
I usually nap and watch football. Yeah Packers!!!
My family Thanksgiving tradition after the meal is... We live in a small town and the next town over has this florist that is located in an old Victorian home that decorates both upstairs and downstairs every room a different Christmas theme, my Mom and my sisters and I go there every year after Thanksgiving dinner, we cherish these times, we have been doing this for well over 15 years.
After the dinner we either watch more football or this year, I did Karaoke with my son and niece! That was a sad thing that they were NOT thankful for! LOL
Heidi
I lounge on the couch and watch football. Of course, sometimes I doze off as well! Mainly just relaxing and digesting all the yummy food!!
A movie and than a nap.
Well, I am poster 236 - holy cow!! Our family is crazy and eats about 2:00 pm...then we play cards and then we eat again about 6:00pm!! Ugh! It is the best Thanksgiving because our family is all there!
I go sit on the couch and hope someone else will clean up!!
Thanks for the candy offer.Love your stuff.
I do dishes and then read the big newspaper and ck. out all the Black Friday ads.
We do Thanksgiving at my home with my parents & my husband in the afternoon. Then, my husband & I go to my in-laws at night to do the whole thing all over again. Whew - way too much food at the end of the day! A nap is always in order!!!!
We usually eat early, play games and watch movies, then eat again around 6 or 7pm. We have an Asian twist to our meal so that always leaves a lot of food for later! Happy Thanksgiving-belated!
We do a family puzzle! It is between 500-1000 pieces depending on how long everyone is staying-dayswise! Thanks for the opportunity!
We sleep or try to. With 2 active boys, it's hard!
Hi and thanks for the yummy candy! We watch tv and nap at the same time! Hugs Kay Mespelt petking@vcn.com
After the big dinner....coffee and a long chat around the table...games and more talking! Praying your mother makes a quick recovery - God bless! Ann c.
The guys usually watch football and the gals chat!
Renae
I am thankful for the safety and health of my friends and family.
The girls usually set around and get caught up cause we never see each other enough. The guys are usually watching football {of course!}
Hope your mom is doing better. We take a nap as we watch football, call the relatives, eat some more, and go to a movie after the game. This year there were only three of us, but we had a delightful time.
Napping, talking and EATING. Life is good! Oh. And my husband watches football. (can you hear my excitement about that one??)
Happy Holidays and many blessings!
Happy Thanksgiving!! After Thanksgiving dinner we sit around and chat and catch up on life and try not to eat more!! :)
I also hate the cold weather! Requires too many layers of clothing and socks! Just means more laundry! LOL After Thanksgiving dinner has been eaten, we all sit around the large table and play catch-up on what everyone has been doing. We only get together about 2-3 times a year, so there is lots to talk about. Thank you for the opportunity to win this prize!
After dinner we would just be lazy and sit around and talk or watch a movie.
I love to sleep in!! I'm not a 4am in the morning person to hit the sales. I'll stay home with family, make some cookies, then go surfing for online sales.
Hello Mish! I would say our tradition is gathering around an abundance of food, then having a few laughs and sharing the rest of the evening catching up with each other's families!
We go for a walk in the brisk weather to "wake up" and then regather for games! This year we played Apples to Apples! :) I love family time!
We don't celebrate Thanks Giving in Romania.
My family plays games. We usually play pictionary. We have a large wite board for drawing on! So far the girls rule. We've won the last 5 years!!! Then we've burnt so many calories playing we're all ready for dessert!
After we are all stuffed...my sisters and i along with our mom talk about life when we were all young. The men head downstairs to play playstation.
After Thanksgiving dinner, we ususally draw names for Christmas and then have our infamous photo shoot....."trying" to get all the grandkids to stay still for a few minutes of picture taking!!! Otherwise, we sit around and visit and munch on dips and sip magaritas!!!
Thanksgiving is the only holiday when our whole family can be together. We come from Pennsylvania and new York to my Sister & Brother-in-law's home in New Jersey. We have drinks and snacks and watch football before the dinner...then after we eat dinner, we watch more football games...until Ugly Betty & Grey's come on. We talk non-stop for 3 days. It's my favorite time of the year.
Great stamps-
Joyce Gleason
Usually after the Thanksgiving meal, we gather in the living room and chat and maybe watch tv and relax. Thank you for the chance!
my greatgrandkids love to play games, so I generally end up playing UNO, Scrabble, Go Fish, or something similar with them. Hope everyone had a great Turkey Day!

After Dinner, Ball games, Stamping
and drinking Coffee
Happy Thanksgving,

Happy Thanksgiving!! One tradition that we have is after the dinner is served, the girls and kids all bundle up and go for a long walk, leaving the guys on clean up duty. By the time we're back all is clean and we're ready to be served cocoa, mulled cider and dessert by our domestic dh's ;)
thanks for the inspiration!
Usually a movie with the whole family gathered around the TV
We all watched the National Dog Show and then football. We all sat and napped and generally enjoyed each other and the being together this year!
After our Thanksgiving meal, I usually phone call extended family members who are unable to be here while the adults here nap and the children play.
Well we did Thanksgiving a litte different this year. It was just my DH and I so we went out to Thanksgiving dinner which was very nice. No stress, no dishes, etc. Afterwards we just decided to rent a movie & make it a relaxing evening!
Everyone here RESTS afterwards. And moans a little that they ate too much! After awhile we eat some more! HEE HEE!
Of course, we rest so that we can eat more!
I really hope your mom recovers well and quickly. You just need to celebrate big for the next big occasion! We usually play games after Thanksgiving dinner.
With so many wonderful things to be thankful for, I watch football with my husband or play games with friends.
After we clean up the turkey dinner mess we put on Christmas music and get all our tree and house decorations out and put them up.
In our part of the world (Philippines), definitely nap (after Christmas dinner)
We joke, laugh and then we actually draw names for our Christmas exchange at my in-laws.
My family, we play games and catch up!
We went out to the barn and fed the horses and kitties treats!
Before kids, I would take a nap. Now we play games or just sit around and chit chat. Thanks for the chance to win. I love your blog. Good to hear your Mom is doing better.
Angelina
Sorry to hear about your Mom, hope she is getting well. No naps here, ever, unfortunately. We play cards, games, watch movies, pick name for Christmas and eat some more>
The holidays is a time where I try to take advantage of spending time with my family. I am off of school and so are the kids. This is a rare thing for us. So when it happens I have to make sure to make every second count. My poor husband only gets the time in during his time out of work. But in the end it is all special. I hope everyone is blessed with this precious time with their family.
I usually cook on Thanksgiving and we open our house to any of our family, friends, (and extended family and friends)that wouldn't otherwise have a place to go. Some years we have a houseful and some years there's only 10-12 people. We do the same thing on Christmas eve.
Teresa
I jus tlove your creations. THanks for posting. As for our post-thanksgiving activity, we usually visit with company. Sometimes we get out a game, but mostly its reminiscing and visiting.
We did the same thing after Thanksgiving dinner as after most dinners lately...we watched a little TV and snuggled with the kidlets before baths ans bed time. Then after the girls were asleep I got to stamp!!!
Hope I'm not too late! I napped after Thanksgiving dinner. Thanks to my mom who entertained my kids!
After Thanksgiving, I REST... because there's a giant day of shopping ahead on Black Friday. :) Love that!!
After Thanksgiving dinner and cleaning up, it's off to watch football at my house! When we finally tire of that we play some board games if no one has fallen asleep while watching football!
Okay .. okay ... the give-away party is over ... but still ... I must tell you that I LOVE this Hanna creation! LOVE it , Mish!
