Thanksgiving Characters
Well look at these new creations! have you ever seen such a thing? I mean it’s a candy bar wrapper with style. When I say style I’m really talking about “clothes”. Okay so it’s just a hat and some feathers but what a way to bring a 3rd dimension to a candy bar wrapper. KIDS WILL LOVE THESE! And so will most adults.
This Thanksgiving character collection was inspired by a snowman that was found on another blog by Laurie Furnell, Find the snowman article HERE. Psst, We are offering these too at Sweet Expressions! Back to the Thanksgiving characters. So these were inspired by this blog that was shared amongst the candy wrapper community. We all just loved these so much but once I saw them and candy wrappers were buzzing I couldn’t let it stop here! Had to keep going and only fitting to start with Thanksgiving. By the way there is an entire Christmas character collection that I’ll blog about soon.
This character collection for Thanksgiving is perfect for your classroom pilgrims and turkeys! That’s right, pilgrims and turkeys. I know you’re on the edge of your seat now! :) There is a picture at the end but please no peaking yet! Not only are they great for the classroom parties, teacher’s gifts, preschool, daycare, church classes they are PERFECT for your Thanksgiving dinner table place settings. What better way to tell everyone “Thank you” for coming. You can even personalize the back of each one with a separate message to let each person know why you are thankful for them. Maybe you rather share your favorite scripture or perhaps a Thanksgiving poem, or just a simple message straight from your heart. If you can’t think of anything, that’s okay, we can and we’ll make sure it presents your style…not ours.
I know you’re scrolling to see a picture so here it is, the unveiling of the Thanksgiving Character Collection Exclusive to Sweet Expressions!!!

Here’s a little day after Thanksgiving tidbit: You just put away all those leftovers and you really feel like you shouldn’t have to cook for like a week right? However the family still gets hungry but they have had Thanksgiving up to the ears now cause the food was so good they are totally stuffed. Here’s a great way to make a new meal out of the old meal. Depending on how much turkey you have left you could do both. there’s always turkey salad which will taste much like chicken salad. Add in your left over turkey, cut it up into chunk sizes you like, add a little onion, onion powder or dried onion flakes, salt, pepper, mayo (it’s gotta be Dukes if it’s available in your area) and maybe even a left over deviled egg or two. mix it altogether, let it set for a little while in the fridge so all those flavors merge nicely and make some sandwiches for lunch or supper. I like to add swiss cheese and brown it in a pan like making a grilled cheese….superb!
Make a Turkey style shepherd’s pie! for the bottom layer start with mashed taters or mac n cheese or both if you have them, then add corn or green beans to the next layer and yes green bean casserole will work! Next layer add the turkey then throw in that left over gravy if you have any left over (make extra so that you do…trust me), then add some cheddar cheese, bake in 350 degree oven until warm (cheese will be nice and bubbly) and voila you have a nice day after meal. It was easy, and now your left overs are gone and you don’t feel like you’re having Thanksgiving all over again. Next step is go put up the Christmas tree and decorate it while drinking hot chocolate and watching ”National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” (that’s what we do)
Don’t forget to count how many pilgrims and turkeys you need and use the link up above.
See you again soon!
