Christmas Joy . . . for Art Journal Journey Monthly

Hi everyone!  It has been a pleasure guest hosting at Art Journal Journey Monthly for the month of December!  I cannot believe that it is December 31st already.  We are getting ready to ring in 2026 here.  Can you believe it?

Today I am sharing my last project for my December Art Journal Journey "Winter" theme.  

First, I'm sharing a photo of the wrapped gifts that I sent my Secret Santa 'Elf' this year:

And I'd like to share the handmade wall hanging that I made her:

I enjoyed creating this, and I hope my Elf will love it for years to come.

And I'd like to share some fireworks photos that are from around the Lehigh Valley, PA.  These photos are from the internet!

First, from Allentown, PA:

Second, from Bethlehem, PA:

And finally the third from Easton, PA, the "Peep" drop:

Now, it’s time to bid you all farewell. I can’t thank you enough for supporting me and my Winter theme for the month of December. I wish you all a very Happy New Year and a blessed 2026, filled with lots of creativity!

From the bottom of my heart, thank you all!

Hugs!
