GOOD TASTE: cranberry relish crostini
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Carton Smart for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Are you as excited about the tastes of Thanksgiving as I am? In anticipation, I’m trying out some new recipes and I thought this cranberry relish, cream cheese & turkey crostini would be a perfect Thanksgiving appetizer or even a Thanksgiving leftovers idea.

Celebrations: thanksgiving table
I took a few pictures of my Thanksgiving table and now that I've almost recovered from the stuffing, gravy and pie, I thought I’d share them.
I shined up the silverware and used my pretty plates.
My cranberry sauce made with fresh cranberries, apples and mandarin oranges. The recipe is under the Goodie Bag tab.
I used faux pears and berries to decorate my table. The vase is wrapped in gold organza and twine and holds gold ting grass.
Fall décor around the room.
Brie and artichoke spread served with wafer thin crackers.
More fall décor in the dining room.
My mom’s apple pie. Yum! Do you eat leftover pie for breakfast after Thanksgiving? I do!
I hope you all have recovered from Thanksgiving and are ready for the holidays.

Celebrations: thanksgiving
Today in the United States we are celebrating Thanksgiving. Family and friends are gathering and feasts are being prepared and eaten. And while I prepare the Thanksgiving meal for my family, I’ll leave you with these Thanksgiving quotes.
He who thanks but with the lips
Thanks but in part;
The full, the true Thanksgiving
Comes from the heart.
~J.A. Shedd ~

For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.

Inkling: coiled thankful cards and a martha stewart craft station

Families have different Thanksgiving traditions for expressing thanks. Some may go around the table and say what they are grateful for. Others use a thankful tree or thankful garland.

We don’t have a specific tradition but I think it’s nice to at least write down something that you are thankful for.

This year I created these thankful coiled cards. I’ll put them out on the table and my family and guests can write down something they are thankful for.

The coils are made out of a 65# cover stock called Brown Bag Kraft. I typed up my message several times and fed the paper through my printer.

To cut the strips, I used my new Martha Stewart Craft Station that EK Success generously sent me to test out. It certainly made cutting the strips a breeze.

I only used the Craft Station as a paper cutter but I can’t wait to try out all the features. Aside from the glass cutting mat, it’s an LED light box for tracing and a table top for stamping and dry embossing table – check out the cool metal stencil pictured above.

I’m so happy with the way these coiled thankful cards turned out that I may start a new tradition in our family.
Thank you EK Success for the Martha Stewart Craft Station.
The Martha Stewart Craft Station will be available this month (November 2011) at Michaels craft stores. Or, visit the EK Success website for more information.
EK Success provided me with the Martha Stewart Craft Station but the opinions in this post are mine.

Good Taste: cranberry conserve
Here’s one dish you can make ahead of time for Thanksgiving – cranberry conserve. A conserve is a fruit mixture cooked to jam like consistency with sugar. Once cooked, you can freeze your conserve or store in a mason jar as you would jam or jelly.
This conserve is so pretty because the apples and mandarin oranges become stained by the cranberries and turn a bright berry color.
You don’t have to celebrate Thanksgiving to make this. Whip up a batch and use as a side dish or a garnish for breads, pastries or meats - or as a gift.
The recipe is under the Goodie Bag tab. Enjoy.

Guest Blogger: Everyday Mom Ideas
Today I’m a guest blogger over at Everyday Mom Ideas – a site full of crafty fun. Check out my Thanksgiving Tree at Everyday Mom Ideas that I created just in time to count down the days until Thanksgiving.
Each day, until Thanksgiving, add a leaf to the tree. The leaves can be personalized with something that you are thankful for.
By the time you sit down for your Thanksgiving meal, your tree will be full of reminders of what the true meaning of Thanksgiving is all about.
Thank you Everyday Mom Ideas for having me over.
