Winter Solstice Thursday December 21-Part 2

Well our workshop to make winter solstice lanterns was cancelled, which was a big disappointment. So I haven't got that to show you now 😔  What I do have is a real simple project I made a while back, and you probably could modify this to make a winter solstice lantern, but using those fake tea lights as your candle. I called mine a "star jar", but I've also made mini dinosaur, fairy, dragon etc., jars as well...
Supplies:
•foam cut outs in any shape you want to use, and that you can paint black(to show up)
• Glass jam jars with lids
• Thin tissue paper to glue on outside of jar
• White school glue
• Quality white glue
• Clear glitter
• Twine For bow around top of jar
• Floral embellishments
• Battery powered tea lights or led string lights



• Stick the figures directly on the  inside glass 
• Use two battery powered tea lights. More light = stronger silhouette 
• use one layer of paper , overlap is ok
• Use thin school glue for the paper & for the glitter( roll in iridescent glitter top and bottom of outside jar)

• DO NOT use real candles inside

Winter Solstice Thursday December 21

Stonehenge Winter Solstice December 21, (it will be chilly there!)

Soon it will be Winter Solstice… the shortest day of the year, and it will be the longest night too. It is a time to celebrate and mark the year by inviting the light back into our lives. In all this darkness, it is a time to reflect inwardly and ask that light and warmth grow in our hearts as well.

My birthday is December 17th, so for fun and celebration and in honour of Winter Solstice, we are going to a workshop to make winter solstice lanterns. I will post a pic later...

Here is a lantern project you can make with your kiddos, if you have kiddos..

Santa Claus and His Tarot Reading ;)

Ukrainian deck of Tarot cards"Solomiya"" from Behance

That's all the info I could find for this card

To the tune of I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus----🎅

Santa gets a tarot reading: 🌠

I saw mommy read for Santa Claus

Underneath the crystal ball last night.🔮

She shuffled and cut the deck,

I could tell he was a wreck.

He worried if his sleigh would fly

A way up in the sky.

He wants to deliver so many toys🎁🎁

To all the good deserving  girls and boys.👦👧

She drew the Chariot card,

And knew it wouldn’t be hard,

And when she drew the shining Star,🌟

He knew his sleigh would take him far.

Yes, I saw mommy read for Santa Claus last night!

The Stellar Jay Message

One of these guys was sitting on my sun deck today, and peeking in my window at me 😊 They are such a pretty color, got the punk hairdo going on, and noisy as can be. I thought I would look to see what the Stellar Jay might bring as a message...

The Jay teaches lessons of adaptation to any situations and learning quickly with a high intelligence. He gives access to memories long forgotten and shows how to assimilate them into awareness. He demonstrates risk taking, seizing opportunities and discovering new avenues for exploration. He will show the power of intelligence and fortitude balanced with discreet silence, and utmost patience in timing. Bold and inquisitive this bird has a penchant for investigating, adapting and learning new ideas and concepts. His creative intelligence uncovers sacred interconnections with all things. Mental growth aids spiritual growth. The energy centers of the head may become activated due to the increase of new spiritual knowledge.
