Thanksgiving Week!

Following up with Gratitude Week, we have a week of Thanksgiving projects focused on just that special holiday! Our newest collection, Autumn Crisp, is perfect four all of your Thanksgiving projects. We are loving the warm palette and colorful graphics. We hope you enjoy it! Let's take a look...

Experience the warm glow of autumn with the cozy colors of Autumn Crisp from American Crafts. Grab a sweater and experience the seasonal delights of autumn: images of colorful leaves, bright pumpkins, and cute critters are presented in a pleasant palette of scarlet red, burnt orange, mustard yellow, and pistachio. This collection is the perfect pick for welcoming the colorful fall season! This festive line offers 12 double-sided patterned papers, sticker sheets, puffy stickers, cardstock shapes, and photo overlays – detailed with gold foil accents. Completing the collection are button embellishments, wood paper clips, a wood phrase stamp, and clear stamps.

We actually celebrate with family the day before Thanksgiving (we always go see a holiday movie and then have a big dinner out), so Thanksgiving day is a RELAXING, lovely day off, with my little family. It's pretty amazing :)

[Steph Baxter]

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in the UK but I am still thankful for a lot of things this year! Mainly my family and friends...they're amazing.

[Miriam Prantner]

We're having a small quiet Thanksgiving at home this year, no relatives in town, but I'm planning to have the girls make decorations for the table and to do some other things to make it special.

[Jamie Greene]

We are planning on having Thanksgiving dinner at home since we don't have any extended family near us and then shopping:)

[Ellie Augustin]

This year will be at home for the 1st time as we have to stay in for our sweet preemie. It will be my 1st time making s full Thanksgiving for my family of 6 I actually am excited. We will be face timing with the rest of the family so we can be there in a way!

[tammy b]

we dine with a large group of non-related family and spend the weekend setting up the tree and decorating!

[Charo]

It looks like we will be alone for thanksgiving this year but that is ok....my husband and will cook up a wonderful and healthy spread and maybe even a pecan pie to splurge on!! this collection is gorgeous with the warm rich colors and patterns. Thanks for the chance to win it.

[Kailash]

I'm so excited my son will be home from college so we will just have a lovely family gathering and I would have just come back from my holiday in the south of France. Feeling blessed and thankful!!!

[Janice Daquila-Pardo]

My husband and I have no relatives in town, but we spend the day in the traditional way even so. We take our time cooking the whole feast, set the table for the special meal, talk about what we're thankful for and photograph the whole thing! :-) Thanks for having this giveaway; I love the Autumn Crisp collection.

[serena]

I am Canadian so we celebrated thanksgiving a month ago. We enjoyed the weekend with family and friends, took family photos, and ate not one but two full turkey dinners. Happy thanksgiving.

[Charlotte Brochu]

Being as how I'm in Canada, we've already celebrated Thanksgiving, but it was actually a 2 day affair celebrating with both sides of the family!

[Jenna mendenhall]

This collection is one of my new favorites!! Thanksgiving week is busy for us because we have 3 birthdays back to back but I am really excited because this year we are hosting dinner at our house. All our family will be there to give thanks and celebrate! And we are frying a turkey which is sooo yummy! :)

I love the autumn crisp! This would be lovely to own

[Kayla F.]

I love driving to my families house for thanksgiving. I live out of state from them so it's a six hour drive. I love the scenery that time of year. I have a large family too so it gets hectic during get together's. I see my drive as the peaceful calm before the storm lol.

[Lea Lawson]

Love the colors in this collection...& those projects are fantastic!

We aren't completely sure what we are doing on Thanksgiving yet! We just moved away from family & friends, so our first thoughts were to make a Thanksgiving dinner with only the dishes that we love & then go to the movies. But now some new friends have invited us to spend the day with their family in Bismark....so we shall see what we decide to do!!

[Jasmine Marie]

We are hosting again at our house. So excited to celebrate with family soon. Thanks fr the giveaway!

[Natalie (QSOgirl)]

We'll be at my parents'-- surrounded by family and friends :)

[Maeghan M.]

I'll be with my family (like always)!!! Love those little wooden paper clips... they'd be lovely on cards! TFS!

[hanna]

Wed night we celebrate w/ my family and Thursday we do it again w/ my husband's extended family.

[April W]

How fun! We're hosting Thanksgiving at our house this year. We had newly moved in last year and had it here for the first time and we're liking the thought of making it a tradition. ;)

[Lindsay]

Thanksgiving was about a month ago for me here in Canada. We celebrated not once, but twice, enjoying time with both my family and my husband's. So very thankful that we get to spend so much time with our families.

[Maddie @ Go Crafty]

My plans for Thanksgiving are to eat TWICE! Once at my folk's house and once at my in-law's!

[Amanda]

We will be at my parents with all our closet friends and family!

[Kathleen]

Hmm... we don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in Germany, but we will probably be out and about and enjoy the weather!

[Romy]

Gorgeous thanksgiving and fall creations! Unfortunately we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Holland, so for me it will be just a regular day of studying ;)

[{vicki}]

We go to my sister in laws and everyone brings a dish!
Then I work off my big meal by putting up my Christmas tree!

[brittany]

My family and I will be going to my parents and inlaw's houses.

We'll be heading to Grandma's where it'll be noisy, crazy and Grandma will cook too much food as usual.

In Sweden, we don't celebrate thanksgiving. So, it's just an ordinary day, but I will spend it with my family.

Great to see the collection and the lovely projects. Thanks for the inspiration.

[Karrie L]

My parents host Turkey day every year for the whole family, yup that is about 70 people. Could not ask for a better family tradition to share with my daughter :)

[Margie Visnick]

I plan to cook dinner for my family!

[Amy#8546(TheTigersHaven)]

[Shereen]

Thanksgiving day plans: family, food, football, and most likely a nap. The best kind of day!

[Stokely]

We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here. But I go on a little trip next week and see Christmas fair there)

I am going to be staying at home so I can work black friday while my family goes out of town for Thanksgiving. :( So I'll be having a solo Thanksgiving, I guess. I LOVE this line though! The pink and aqua in this collection are such fresh colors for a fall line!

[rhonda n]

We spend Thanksgiving Day with my family and having the traditional dinner and then in the evening we go to my Mother in Laws and have dessert and coffee, the late evening to my sister's house for family game night(mostly card playing). Love this time of year and thanks for the chance to win!

[jò]

I'm Italian, we don't have Thanksgiving, but I think it's a great day, to share with friends and family, I'd like to celebrate something like that.
This collection is beautiful, I love the colors and all the embellishments

[Cynthia]

We're an "every other year" kind of family. This year, my sister will be with her in-laws so it'll be just me and my Mom. We'll probably have pizza for Thanksgiving--that has become our "every other year" tradition! =D

[Nita K.]

I'm so excited for Thanksgiving! My mom and step dad will actually be here as well as my brother who has been living overseas for the last year. I cannot wait!

Like Gina, our family tradition is to head to Apple Hill. I'm wondering if there is more than one in America (probably) or if she is from the Sacramento area as well.

[SuzannaL]

My parents and my sister and her gang will come to Virginia for Thanksgiving this year! Can't wait! It's been a while since we've all been together!

[Kimberly James]

On Thanksgiving, it will just be me & my Dad as we are the only family in town. I love spending time with my Dad watching football that he enjoys (yuck!) and cooking that I enjoy. My sister will be in town with us on that Saturday and I can't wait to spend time with them. My 3 yr old niece and I are planning on coloring and making cookies. I can't wait!

[Denise Luscan]

Going to my Mom's house. We have a small family and only two little one's so it is fun to see the 3 & 4yr old cousins playing together!

We already had our thanksgiving here in Canada, which I spent with my family in a traditional turkey day!

We normally go to another family members house but this year were staying home having our own meal and watch a movie.

[Barbara Staradumsky]

Wow..loving the inspiration! This Thanksgiving is going to be a very lonely one. We had planned on going out of state to my Husbands family so I told my girls we wouldn't be here this year to cook...Then he couldn't get off and the girls had already made plans to spend it with their father...so so sad :o(..It will be my first Thanksgiving without my girls :o(..but..on the brighter note..My husband and I decided that since the girls couldn't come we would go out somewhere really nice and eat. No cooking could be a plus in an otherwise crappy Holiday :o)

[stacie D]

We are having dinner with our extended family, meeting up with friends, and starting the shopping season!

[Ruth Tacoma]

We will be having our kids, our parents and some friends over for thanksgiving dinner during the day. Then I will begin digging around in the storage area for Christmas decorations and begin putting my favorite things out. Probably will end the day with a family favorite Christmas movie.
