Hello crafty friends! I hope that you all had a happy Christmas time with your loved ones and friends! 2025 is quickly approaching us and I know there will be lots of changes coming to look forward to! Although I’m not feeling 100%, so I think I’m going to rest for the remainder of what’s left of the year🤒.
Today is the monthly Art Journal Page collaboration with my crafty friend, Carol (from Crafty-Stamper)! We get creative trying to use up our never-ending stash piles along with a prompt for each month. I know she always has great inspiration to share, so please check out her blog too! Here’s my AJ page with the “SMASH OUR STASH” December prompt of “FOUND OBJECT(S)” (something you found or discovered): (I’ve also combined 2 other past prompts with this one that I’ve missed out on earlier in the year!)

SNOW SNOW SNOW! I know people that hate it and people that love it! Whatever YOUR favorite place to be with it…or not…mine is being inside the warmth and watching it from the window! I don’t mind shoveling if I need to help my husband, but I enjoy watching it peacefully from the window.
The prompt for THIS month (December) is “Found object(s)” and I found some VERY pretty blue ribbon on a present this year and decided to keep it…and I have plenty left for another project! I used it above the die cut window. (This page is my normal 5.5″ x 8.5″ with pre-punched holes at the top…I would have a book finished, but I wasn’t feeling well enough to get one done, so I’ll have to do it later.)
And for the other prompts I’ve missed this year: August I was away and didn’t get to complete that one and the prompt for that month was “Vintage/Old“. The background wallpaper area looks vintage to me and it came from a VERY old pack of paper that I’ve had along with the letters on the side of the window. I also missed November and the prompt for that month was “Food“. I love me a good cup of cocoa in the winter and I thought I would make myself some Linzer cookies to add with it in the shape of snowflakes with frosting on them! I even took a bite out of the one in front of the cup!
Since I’m not feeling well, I’m going to stop typing and get some sleep now. Please let me know if you have any questions about the page as I’d be happy to answer!
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop in! I really appreciate it and will try to reciprocate when I feel better. Happy New Year friends and I’ll see you in 2025!

I hope you feel better soon Vicki. It’s not a fun way to end 2024, but hopefully you’ll be back to yourself to start 2025.
That’s a great page. I love the window with the snowy scene and even the snowflake on that big cup of cocoa. On a cold winter’s day there is nothing tastier. Thanks for joining Sharon’s challenge at AJJ too. Hugs-Erika

Hi Vicki! I really hope you feel better soon.
I absolutely love your amazing page about snow. The scene looking out the window is perfect here, and so is the snowflake on your cup! Thank you so much for joining in on the fun at AJJ this month.

HI Vicki,
I’m so sorry you’re not feeling well, especially at this time of the year, but hopefully a warm cup of cocoa and some cookies will make you feel the comforts of home. Watching the snow from inside is now my favorite thing to do as well because I’m unable to shovel snow anymore, but it does look pretty when it starts falling. I love the window scene you created as well as that pretty blue cup with the snowflake – most likely holding that warm cup of cocoa. Take good care of yourself and have a better day tomorrow. Sending get well hugs your way and wishing you the happiest and best possible New Year celebration as well.

I hate to hear you are ill, Vicki. Prayers for a full and fast recovery! I think you are smart to just rest. That’s sometimes all we need. I love the warm and cozy look of your page. I would have saved that bow too as fumbley as my fingers are, my bow-making skillz suffer. Down here, we only get a little snow every decade so we are all out in it like it’s a miracle, lol. It usually falls at night and that’s when all my memories are and I can only remember 2 times when it lasted on the ground through the next day. I hope you have a restorative and relaxing new year! XOX

Your December Art Journal page is absolutely beautiful. I love how you incorporated the found blue ribbon and the vintage wallpaper. The snowy scene through the window and the snowflake on the cup of cocoa are such lovely touches.
