April in the bag!
I've finished another of my Portrait series.
Be sure to click here to see my "April Fool Harvey" which was initially inspired by the funky nose & glasses. My kids like it, what more can I say?
Time to get going on May's piece .... hmmm, what shall I do this time?

Slugging along ....
I've finished #7, my March 2009 piece which I feature on today's blog post.
Click here for a direct link to my blog Winter Wanderings. Be sure to leave a comment so that I know you've stopped by!
April has been started and once I complete it, I can post photos in the Members Gallery! I've still a way to go, but I am steadily catching up.
I think I can now actually start my first piece, January 2010, for the newest round of this amazing Bead Journal Project!

Yikes! Last Day to Register for 2010 BJP! Pictures!
December 15th is the last day to register for the 2010 BJP...
If you're undecided, take a look at my blog, here. I just posted pictures of some of my favorite pieces from the past year of the BJP... 42 pictures (most click-to-enlarge)... work by 40 of our participants!!!! I was erratic at saving pictures, so I didn't get all of my favorites. Also some members don't have a blog or didn't post pictures to the website. However, the pictures I posted will give you some grand inspirations and incentives to join the 2010 BJP!!!!
Happy holidays, everyone!!!
Robin
PS... If you're having difficulty registering or have questions about it, you can email

PSS... Thanks for your well wishes about my Mom. During the week I was in Minnesota, she rallied nicely. I'm hoping she'll make her 93rd birthday in January!

HI from Chilly Minnesota...
Hi everyone!
My dear Mom took a turn for the worse a week ago and we thought her time among us was at an end. So my sister (who lives in Everett, WA) and I flew back to MN to be with her. Luck for us, she has rallied and we are spending some quality moments with her.
In the meantime, I've been having a little time to bead again with Julie, Pam and Brenda, all three BJP participants living in St. Paul, MN! Tomorrow we're going to Pam's for another session. We're having great fun talking about our ideas for BJP 2010. Brenda's working on a special beaded box that will hold her 2010 pieces. I won't spill the beans about it, but it's going to be amazing! Pam's talking about wanting more texture, more dimension to her pieces. Julie is still very undecided. Me too, although I have lots of ideas and I'm pretty sure I'll do some shape other than 4x6, the postcard shape I've been using for the past two years.
What about YOU????????
Will you be with us? I hope so!!!! There are only 5 more days to register. Really, truely, it is not hard. If the registration information on our website seems to difficult or doesn't work on your computer, just email Pam T or me and tell us you want to be in. We'll take care of it.
One current member emailed me to say she hadn't finished this year's pieces yet and therefore felt she shouldn't do it again. My answer is this: Don't be bogged down by last year's business... If you think you'd like to try it again, go for it. Let 2008-09 rest and move on!!!
May you all have a deliciously wonderful holiday season. May your stockings be filled with fabulous beads!
Hugs to you all,
Robin
