Back at One
I started this project last November with the intent to create one atc (artist trading card) per day while Mr. P. is away. I had one particularly emotionally bad day, skipped it, and let the entire project lapse. I was too sad to continue.
Now I will begin again and this time I will be counting down the days until he returns home for good. It's a little more hopeful this go 'round.
You can see all of the cards from the first half in my flickr photo album. I'll be updating my progress there daily.
Here is where things stand currently, a scorecard if you will:
ATCs #1 - 100. (Just over 3 months of daily cards)
Skipped ATCs (days) #101-110
ATCs #111- 112. No cards between March 20th - May 30th.
The ATC shown here resets the entire count. We're back at one. This card is #1a. With Mr. P. returning sometime in early November, the second half of this endeavor should yield approximately 150 new artist trading cards.
It feels good to start again. I've missed this.
Really beautiful card!!!

Fresh starts are always good. I really like the layout of the latest card. Sounds like you had a great time with Mr.P too!

Good for you Jeannine! How freeing to just start back in & not give it up entirely - love how you returned to your original blog title too.
As for me, I actually didn't finish all of the ATCs from my February project either, the last of them are still in sketch format :) Oh well, I will get to them when I get to them. Maybe now that we've finally moved & are starting to settle in....
My best to you for this stretch of your journey, the hardest part is behind you I believe - I can sense it in your post. I am forever grateful to you & others that made the time pass easier for me these last six months :)
Take care,
Laura
