July Finished! Count me IN!

.

Hi Everyone!

Huge thanks to Tracey N, our Mama Angel for 2012! Without her, there wouldn't be a BJP next year! I have registered and am really looking forward to another year of monthly bead journal commitment!

I'm loving the pieces I've made so far this year and am looking forward to quilting them together. Because of focusing almost all of my attention on my new book, due to be released next fall, I'm a behinder this year. I recently finished July and August. I just posted July's piece (see detail above) on my blog, here.

May you all have a terrific holiday season... many blessings,

Robin A.

Well, I'm Gonna Try Again!

Last year, I didn't finish but one object...and it took me ten months with my crazy life! But, it is done...and I learned a valuable lesson...don't GO BIG or you might go home! Ha! So, this year...I'm shooting for smaller is better! Here's my one and only 2011 completion!

I'm Just Saying "No" to 2012 BJP...

I'm not signing up for BJP 2012. All this year I did exactly ONE PIECE. When and if my life ever gets straightened out (unlikely, the way I'm living it) I'll maybe drop back in at some point. I wish everyone well who is (or is not) continuing on with this, and THANKS for the support and continued inspiration.

2012 Bead Journal Project

Hi everyone! It looks like the 2012 Bead Journal Project is a go! I think it will be a much smaller version, but in my opinion, that is a good thing. It will allow us to be a tighter community, a more supportive community, and will be much easier to closely follow each others accomplishments. I am pleased to announce I will be the "Mama Angel" this year, and will also handle registrations unless someone else steps forward to volunteer. I will be contacting other angels later today to iron out details, so look for more information very soon! I am excited for the new year of the Bead Journal Project. I hope you will join me on this adventure!
