Reaching a goal...

One of my goals for 2014 is to get caught up on my Artist Trading Cards.

My bowl of bits and pieces was overflowing and I had a stack of backgrounds that I needed to do something with. It was getting out of control. Due to the small size, I found them more challenging after my stroke. Well, who am I to shy away from a challenge.

So...I've been back at it and had set a goal to get to 300 by the end of this year. I was at 253 at the end of 2013. The challenge has been good and I now have 378 cards finished.

Here are a few...

Many more to come...just need to get them scanned.
