After our Thanksgiving dinner yesterday, I decided to create some bookmarks for Christmas. I plan on placing one of these in each of my students' books I am giving them for Christmas. These reflect some of my thoughts and feelings towards reading during this season.
Feel free to download your own to color for personal use. Or, maybe it will give you some inspiration for your own creation :).
Have a wonderful day!
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 :).
