I have a fun coaster I created using a new image called Hat Tipping Snowman. I am out, but will be covering the front with clear contact paper to protect the image.

Here is the cork back

I'm going to look for a cute mug to wrap up with this as well as some home made hot chocolate.
Before I share the recipe, I want to let you know this is my last post for FSS as a DT member. I am sad to leave. Tracey has been great and I love her images and you will continue to see me use them on my blog. Thank you so much Tracey and DT for a great ride!
Here is the recipe:
Creamy Hot Cocoa (from Allrecipes)
Ingredients

• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 pinch salt
• 1/3 cup boiling water
• 3 1/2 cups milk
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup half-and-half cream

Directions

1. Combine the cocoa, sugar and pinch of salt in a saucepan. Blend in the boiling water. Bring this mixture to an easy boil while you stir. Simmer and stir for about 2 minutes. Watch that it doesn't scorch. Stir in 3 1/2 cups of milk and heat until very hot, but do not boil! Remove from heat and add vanilla. Divide between 4 mugs. Add the cream to the mugs of cocoa to cool it to drinking temperature.
