4 Delight thyself also in the LORD;
and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
5 Commit thy way unto the LORD;
trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Psalms 37:4-5
I will try to commit next year to the Lord about everything including whether or not I post, or how often. However, I thought I have been on sabbatical from Blogging long enough, so I will end the year with one last post. I have decided to join in at **Art*Journal*Journey for Sharon's (Sharon from That Girl Friday Fritchey) Snow Challenge for January. This made me get out an old stencil that I haven't used in years. I stenciled with Blueprint Sketch Oxide Distress ink over a Aspen Trees stencil. I spattered with White India Ink and used a Uniquely Creative clear Sparkle Brush for the glittery look of ice. I die cut and stamped the deer from a very old Fun Stampers Journey set. They are not even in business anymore. The snowflake dies are an unknown source, but I die cut from silver. I added gems, Nuvo drops and Washi tape for interest, and just to use stash! I did this in my 7x10 Canson XL Mix Media book. 98 lb paper. My stencil is only 6x6. so had to move it to fill the page. As you can see, it isn't really lined up, but oh, well. I am just playing with all my stuff! LOL
Maybe a closer view will show the glittery trees:
Here is my ticket to the tea party over at Bleubeard and Elizabeth's at Altered Book Lover. I have missed so many, they may not know who I am. I prepared this little hot chocolate station next to my tea station for when our family were here. We all enjoyed it; in fact, I am still enjoying it. Who knew that mini chocolate chips, mini-marshmallows and candy canes could make something so good ever better?
Well, I hope you all had a blessed Christmas, and I wish you Happy New Year. Who know what it will bring? Maybe I will see you next year.
Thanks for stopping by.

I am glad to see you post Sharon, and even happier you joined the other Sharon for her challenge at AJJ. I am loving those deer in your snowy page. Thank you. And it's nice to see you for T day too. I love your hot cocoa station. That is the dishes I wanted years ago instead I compromised for the white background ones which I never really liked as well. :) Have a happy T day and happy new year too. hugs-Erika
A hot-cocoa station is a great idea! So is blogging.

Of course we know you and yippee for joining. Great artwork and: Blogging is supposed to be FUN. So only join when it is fun, right? To a happy New Year soon!
Welcome back Sharon! Your wintery page is beautiful.
My mouth is watering at the sight of the chocolate with all the accoutrements. I have gifted my cleaner some Christmas mugs, a packet of hot chocolate powder, and some marshmallows. But she is from Honduras (tropical climate) so she probably doesn't know what to do with it.
Wishing you a blessed and healthy 2025.
Such a pretty winter page! Wow, that hot chocolate station looks awesome, such a great idea and I'd happily have one with chocolate chips and marshmallows, please and thank you 😊. Happy T Day and wishing you a happy New Year too, may it be filled with joy, peace and good health! Hugs, Jo x
I love your snowy page you created for Sharon's theme. It is a beauty and I love the stencil and die cuts you used, too. Thank you for this deer creation you gave us using the other Sharon's theme at AJJ.
I adore your hot chocolate station you created. What a clever and crowd pleasing idea. I had some of those mini candy canes, but I used mine in eggnog. Thanks for sharing your art and your hot chocolate station with us for T this Tuesday, Sharon. I was also delighted to see you had posted too.
The card is so pretty!!
