I have been creating little ATC's (Artist Trading Cards) featuring some of my ancestors. I began thinking about this idea a month ago and decided to create cards for my direct ancestors who have birthdays in the month of October.
As it seems with most everything in this season, I have not had the strength, energy and/or time to hunker down and bring this idea to fruition. Last Sunday, the last day of October, I was finally able to start. I completed an ATC for my 2nd great-grandfather, John Howard Bawden. He is my mother's mother's grandfather.
Later this week, I began an ATC for my 2nd great-grandmother, Mette Kathrina Pedersen. She is my father's father's grandmother. I was not able to finish this in a single sitting. However, I really felt the creative "itch" this morning. I am tickled with the way it turned out, and I think I might be able to convince myself to tackle some of the "have-to's" for the day now :).
