Almost Done!

Here it is, the last day of 2011, and I have eleven of my twelve ATC's for this year's BJP done. I have the plans for number 12 in my head and, with a little luck, will have it completed today or tomorrow. Woohoo!


I've created a separate page on my blog for the ATC's I've made for the 2011 bead journal project. I haven't been very good about posting them as they were finished throughout the year but now you can see them all in one visit. Well, all except the last one. ;- ) I'll add it as soon as I can after I get it done. In the meantime, Happy New Year everyone!

PS. Forgive my lack of posting, I am going through a family crisis at the moment. Thank you!

this is my last piece for this years BJP A tree called life.
as you can see it's not finished yet it was supposed to be for august but I got so dreadfully behind on it I had to push it back until now.

it's also been the most technically challenging for me and so i keep putting it down in frustration!
on top of that it still doesn't look right to me, and I can't figure out how to "fix" it.
oh well, this was supposed to stretch my abilities and it has!
