Sunshine and Blog Candy !


Happy Thanksgiving Eve! Today's blog posting is a sneak peek of a new sentiment set coming out very soon from Hanna Stamps. This is just one of the over 25 sentiments that will be in this soon to be released set. I selected this sentiment to preview, well, paper sunshine and all. *grin* FYI: The font size is not to scale, it is smaller irl. In addition to this new set, soon the official Hanna Stamps website will open for business!! Stay tuned for the countdown to the new site and for the release date for this set.

What to do to have a chance at winning a brand new Hanna Stamps set courtesy of Kristi, the owner of Hanna Stamps?

Since we've already done a grateful blog candy posting previously, this one will be more lighthearted.

Please leave me your comment below and tell me your favorite Thanksgiving side dish and are you a dark or white meat lover. Me? Dark meat ( I know it's not the healthy part, but hey, it's once a year!) and my sister's spinach salad are my favorites.

I will randomly select the winner on Sunday evening, that gives you 5 full days to participate.

Rules and such: Just one comment per person, please. Respond to me by email within 24 hours with your snail mail address and permission for me to pass your address to Kristi, and she will mail the winning set from her office. If the winner doesn't email the information by the deadline, a new name will be randomly selected. I guess that covers it.

Alex said...

Ooooh I love that sentiment and the font is soooo cute, now we don't celebrate thanksgiving in the UK, bah humbug, but when it comes to christmas dinner, I looooove the white meat on the turkey, I cannot stand dark meat, isn't it funny how we all seem to have a liking for one or the other, lol - thanks for such a great opportunity, I love Hanna stamps and am patiently waiting their latest set to land on my mat in the UK, hugs

Lilian said...

i prefer white meat... but i do love drumsticks! is that a contradiction? my favorite side dish is mashed potatoes-- the chunky kind with the skins still on it. :)

thanks for the chance to win and happy thanksgiving.

I like white meat and my grandmother's cranberry relish. She is no longer with us but making her dishes for Thanksgiving makes me feel like she is still celebrating with us.

Kraftin' Kimmie said...

Oh fun, fun!! I am definitely a dark meat girl and I LOVE mashed potatoes with gravy........so healthy, I know!!! Heehee! Thanks for the chance, Valerie!!

Salusa63 said...

Yum - I love white meat!! In fact this year I am only making a turkey breast - not the entire bird since only my husband eats a little bit of the dark! I also love stuffing. It's the only time of year I ever have it - silly really. I don't know why I don't ever make it at other times of the year!! Thanks for offering the candy!!

Susan said...

My mom's green beans are the best! She grows them in her garden and then cans them and everyone in the family fights over them! And I love the white meat. Can't help it! Happy Thanksgiving!

Jacque (SCS:Petals) said...

Oh, how fun! I also love the dark meat, so juicy and flavorful. The other thing I've come to associate and love with Thanksgiving is cheesey potatoes. Yummy!

Happy Thanksgiving!

jenn said...

I love dark meat. Hmm, my favorite side dish is probably stuffing. I can't wait for tomorrow. Thanks for the can-D!

Dawn Thomas said...

I am a white meat kinda girl, with skin please! And for a side dish, scalloped potatoes.

I'm definitely a white meat lover. And I love broccoli salad with my meal.
Happy Thanksgiving!

travelingmama said...

I can't wait to see the new set! I love the white meat and my favorite side dish is a Greek recipe passed down from many generations. It has ground meat, raisens, and rice. Sounds weird but it's delish! LOL!

Catherine said...

Dark meat for me and a lot of "Chicken Mushroom Stuffing"...YUM!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

CAKVD said...

Tandra said...

OH YEAH!! Dark meat, its so rich, and not dry!!
Oh and I LOVE Mashed Potatoes-NO GRAVY- with cheddar Cheese, green onions, crumbled bacon, and some sour cream!! And yes, once a year (ok mebbe twice!! LOL)
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

Merveilleuse said...

I am absolutely a white meat girl. I used to live the dark meat when I was growing up, but now it seems to oily for me. My favourite side dish is my grandma's 7 layer casserole. Absolutely LOVE it.

Keri Jackson said...

White meat for me please! And my favorite side dish if you don't count the pumpkin pie for desert is the mashed potatoes & gravy :)

NC said...

I'm a dark meat girl too!
and my favorite side is mac and cheese for sure!

Sandy H said...

Definitely dark meat, and lots of gravy. My favorite side dish is cranberry sauce. I even like cranberry sauce and peanut butter sandwiches (don't say ewwww until you have tried it) Happy Thanksgiving to one and all.

Trish D said...

I'm another dark meat girl - and it's not Thanksgiving until I've had frozen cranberry salad. It's actually more like a dessert (ground cranberries, apples, cool whip and walnuts. MMMMMMM!!!!) but we all refer to it as a salad so we don't feel guilty eating it with our dinner :)

Anonymous said...

My favorite side dish is sweet potatoes and I love the dark meat with gravy.....yummy!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Cathy Max

Anonymous said...

I like both white/dard meat, so I have a little of each. My favorite side dish is my mom's sweet potatoe casserole, it is whipped sweet potatoes with a crunch pecan topping...Yummy!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
-Gretchen

Lora said...

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I'm a white meat only girl. Sweet potatoes with a little butter on the side please. ;) Simple, I know. My youngest only eats the pickles, olives, and cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving. Even when I beg her to eat some turkey....Go figure...

Cat said...

I just love sunshine AND blog candy! when it comes to Thanksgiving, my favorite part of the meal is ANY pie, and definitely dark meat! Thanks!

Heather said...

Wow, so hard to pick one favorite dish! I think I would have to say Pumpkin pie (have to have it!) I am a white meat gal, always will be!
Heather

~Lana B.~ said...

Hi Val, Thanks SO much for sharing...Hanah Stamps are SO cute! Definitely a dark meat gal and after that...my dad's stuffing! MMMMmmmm

Phyllis W. said...

White meat for sure, and sweet potatoes with toasted marshmallows on the top...yum yum

Staci said...

Yeah! I only like white meat..:) I do love my mom's rolls which I will miss again this year. I just can't seem to make them like she does! Happy Thanksgiving!

Staci Lynch

Expressions of a Creative Mind said...

How about I just make it easier and say I like to eat? I like white meat the best. Brocolli & rice casserole is one of fav side dishes.

Allison said...

Dark meat too...and no one else likes it in my family so it's perfect. I like mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts, corn, asparagus but hate most of the Thanksgiving staples (yams, sweet potatoes, tomato aspic, etc. that both my mom and MIL make!)...

Cheers!

Cindy B said...

It's all so good! This time, I'll pick stuffing. Happy Thanksgiving!

Mendi M said...

Favorite side is sweet potato casserole with marshmellows and I'm a dark meat girl! Happy Thanksgiving!

Dana V. (*danavee* on SCS) said...

I'm all about the white meat... won't touch the dark meat! And I LOVE stuffing! My family has tons of food allergies, so I have to bake the bread to make the stuffing with (in fact, it's rising right now...), and my hubby's a vegetarian, so no sausage or oysters here... just bread cubes, celery, onions, apricots and veggie stock and lots of fresh herbs. It's fab, if I do say so myself!

Superlicious_Fun said...

I take a little white meat,but leave room for the mash potato, stuffing, cranberry swirl I make on my plate, then smother it with gravy. Plus, more stuffing on the side. I am all about the stuffing! :)

Jo Ann said...

I like white meat the best and my favorite side dish is my mother-in-law's stuffing which is huge because I don't usually like stuffing. She cooked it so the edges got crispy and I would try to get that part. I am usually still picking at it as we clean up. I will miss it and her. She passed away earlier this year. I guess my back up is going to be mashed potatoes. I can never pass up mash potatoes of any kind.

canben said...

Side dish....stuffing.....or my grandmother's giblet gravy over a pile of rice! And I'm definitely a white meat person.... I don't see how anyone can eat dark - it's so dry to me....

Sunflower Stamper said...

Fun, fun! White meat for me, with lots of stuffing & potatoes with gravy! Other side dish would probably be green bean casserole.

Sandy O said...

Oh man, I love the white meat and pray for leftovers. My favorite side dish would have to be the home made rolls my MIL makes.

Kristy Vernon said...

I am a dark meat girl unless it's super tender. My favorite side dish is homemade mashed potatoes with my mom's brown gravy. Thanks for the chance! The stamps are so cool.

Well Said Cards said...

My favorite side dish is stuffing with gravy. And I like white meat - not a fan of the dark meat at all.

Kim Muhl said...

I love the white meat, my favorite side dish is Candied Sweet Potatoes. Thanks so much!

Becky said...

Thank you for sharing your creative work with us through your blog! I am a dark meat kind of girl - comes from being Chinese, I think - most all Chinese folks I know enjoy dark meat more. And mashed potatoes! I don't get too much of that with Chinese cooking!

Louise said...

I like the white meat of the turkey and my favorite side dish is fresh cranberry orange relish. Yum! I'm looking forward to seeing all the new stamps.

Becky Carafa said...

Oooo, dark meat here too! And I usually get as much as I want because DH's family doesn't like it. My favorite side dish is definitely stuffing (and the rolls). Yep, I'm a carb addict! Thanks, Val!

Lori said...

My mom makes these delicious sweet potato biscuits with a recipe from a restaurant near Virginia Beach. I don't like sweet potatoes much, but I really like these biscuits. Unfortunately, whenever I try to make them myself, they never come out right . . . And as far as the turkey, I definitely prefer the white meat.

Michelle Adams said...

I love both dark and light...but I guess if I have to choose, I have to go for the unhealthy like you! LOL! I also love green bean casserole the best as my side dish...but a close second is a casserole of broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots with cheese and onions, breadcrumbs baked on top. Yum-O! ;-)
Thanks for the chance!
Michelle Adams

stampin_melissa said...

I am all about the dark meat! YUMMY! LOL! My favorite side dish is cranberry sauce or cranberry salad. I eat it like it is candy! (well with all that sugar it probably is!) Too bad (for them) that I'm the only one in my family that enjoys either of those two side dishes!

mnhyrkas said...

white meat and my grandmother's stuffing! Yum

Inkylin said...

Definitely white meat for me. As for the side dish I would have to choose black olives for sure.

scfranson said...

Great blog ! White meat all the way and sweet potatoes with marshmallows.

Susan C. in NY said...

I used to be an "only white meat" girl, now I tend to gravitate to the "dark" side. :-) My favorite side dish is Sweet Potato Casserole (not with the marshmallow topping but with a mix of brown sugar, pecans and butter--the sugar starts to melt and get crunchy in spots--Divine!!). Happy Thanksgiving!!

Susan C. in NY

Michelle Nadraszky said...

Yeah!

I only like white meat and my favorite side dish is Mashed Sweet Potatoes with brown sugar and butter.

Cathy said...

Okay...my fave side-dish is good ole mashed potatoes and gravy! How boring is that?? ;-) My meat...hmmm...both! =) If the white meat isn't dry, even better!

Vera Matson said...

I'm a dark meat girl with lots of gravy! Also, I really miss my Grandmother's recipes, and I particularly miss this cold brocoli salad dish. Odd choice, huh?

Cindy Vernon said...

I like white meat and all the side dishes are my favorite, dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy,sweet potatoes. I don't usually eat any other veggie or rolls because i want to save room for all of my other favs.

QC said...

Turkey - more turkey - and a bit more turkey. Then variations of turkey! :)

I kinda like turkey......

*Jana* said...

My Favorite Side... my Grandmother's oyster dressing. And I'm a white meat gal... only after picking at the crispy skin... yummmmmmmmmmmm.

I'm a white meal gal and my dishes are stuffing and pumpkin pie. :)

Mrs.Thomas said...

Enjoy the holiday.

Mary said...

I'm a white meat girl - especially if there's still some crispy skin on it! And as for the side dish, I love acorn squash - I like to zap it in the microwave and then, after scooping out the seeds, adding a tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of brown sugear - yum!

I can't wait to see the new Hanna Stamps website!

Sandy Hill said...

Happy Thanksgiving Valerie!! I am definitely a dark meat person. I think the white meat is too dry for my taste. My favorite side dishes are cranberry sauce, stuffing and sweet potato casserole. Thank you for the opportunity to win the wonderful stamp set.

Queen Mary said...

Well, I think this is my first comment on the blog candy.... I subscribe to so many of you ladies I decided I better not go blog hopping lest I forget where I'd already posted! Favorite side dish? Hmmm, my sister's mushroom gravy that she no longer makes, or her wild rice, which she no longer makes.... My DH does ALL the cooking, DS says her kitchen doesn't work. Hasn't worked in 10 years! But she's gone through alot, she has a new fiancee so things are looking up for her -- their blended family will be at our house today, I'm hoping for the best for her! Oh, and I prefer the white meat, which makes me popular in my dark meat family! :) Happy Thanksgiving!

kim said...

I'm with you on the dark meat...give me the turkey thigh any day of the week! As far as side dishes, nothing could ever beat my mom's recipe for cornbread dressing! It is the absolute best you could ever ask for, and I make it every year. Happy Thanksgiving everyone...time for me to get back in the kitchen....

Cindy said...

I love the dark meat and my Mom's "cranberry goop" - I know doesn't sound very good- but we all love it despite the name.

Barb W said...

Hanna Stamps are new to me but look like so much fun. What a great way to get started - by winning. Can't wait for my favorite side dish - my mom's sweet potato casserole - even my daughters beg her to make extra so they can bring some home. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

jpmayo said...

I am a white meat lover when it comes to turkey and my fav side dish would have to be my mil's sweet potato casserole which i'll be eating in about 3 hours:)

Amy said...

I'm more of a dark-meat person, but gotta tell you, I love all the side dishes even more! Thanks for the chance to win.

Tejal said...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks for the great give-away!!

Do love mash potatoes!

Anonymous said...

I loved the turkey legs when I was a little girl, but as an adult, it's white meat all the way. One of my favorite side dishes is my mom's Potato Casserole. It has sour cream and cream cheese in it. So yummy, can't wait till dinner time.

Toni K (koolnkrafty) said...

Viv said...

White meat and dressing with gravy all over!! Yum!!!

SueB said...

A few of my favorite things ... love that white meat, but dish-wise it's my sister's request this year from my Mom to bring her spice cake - I posted the recipe here - and family tradition-wise it's our gathering to watch "Miracle on 34th Street" after dinner!
Happy Thanksgiving, all!
- SueB

Jen Stevenson said...

I love dark turkey meat! Yumm, I can't wait to have some today.

My favorite is the stuffing my mother taught me to make. I love the stuffing that I put inside the bird. It's more moist and ultra yummy. It's a shame I only make it once a year.

Marisa said...

Love the sweet potatoes and orange dish my mom makes (we had out Thanksgiving in October up here in Canada, but a good memory of the fabulous food!). As for white or dark meat, I am a dark meat lover for sure!!

keep up the wonderful work - love reading your blog.

Debby said...

I'm a white meat gal. Don't much like the texture of dark meat. The white meat is especially yummy with a mound of mashed potatoes and gravy on top with cranberry sauce just slightly to the side of it. MMMMMMMM!

Bev Hammack said...

I like any of the meat. Spinach salad sounds yummy! My SIL makes yummy broccoli salad. That might be my favorite although mashed potatoes are the bomb! Happy Thanksgiving!

My favorite is white meat and my favorite side dish is my grandmother's candied sweet potatoes. They are unlike anyone elses and they are fabulous!!!

Fav side dish - homemade cranberry relish - it has fresh cranberries, apples, oranges, celery and sugar in it - I only make it once a year so it is my favorite side. I am a white meat only girl - we have lots of dark meat lovers in the family - but I love the white.

I like white meat with cranberry sauce. My favorite side dish - I hate these questions b/c I have such a hard time deciding....but it has to be the sausage stuffing my MIL makes - which she didn't make this year when we were up for early thanksgiving so I was really sad :(

This year my kids are with their dad in SC so my DH & I are alone and will be having steak instead of a traditional dinner with all the fixings. Normally I prefer Ham over Turkey (sorry)

Thanks for the Blog candy offer. Those sayings would make the perfect addition to my growing card making stash.

Cheri said...

Definitely white meat for me and I LOVE fried sweet potatoes! Fry them with salt, pepper and sugar until they are a little crispy. . . delightful! Blessings to you!

Happy Thanksgiving! Hope it continues to be stress free! My fave is white meat and stuffing!

Sonja said...

My favorite side dish is pecan pie...hey in my world, it's a side dish, OK. If I had to choose a "real" side dish, I guess it would be my mom's mashed potatoes. And it's white turkey for me.

Christine Ousley said...

My favorite part of the bird is the legs and thigh so I am definitely a dark meat kind of girl. My favorite side dish of the Thanksgiving meal is the stuffing. I could eat that daily. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a blessed holiday season.

I love the white meat and baked potatoes. Thanks for the opportunity.

baronreads said...

Well, it used to be dark, now it's white because it's healthier. But seriously, I'd give up the turkey for stuffing and sweet potatoes. Happy Thanksgiving!

I go in spurts some years dark, other years, white. This year was a white year. My favorite side dish is our family's famous mac N cheese recipe. It has even won a contest before. Can't wait to see the new Hannah stamps and website tomorrow.
