I've just put the post of my November page finished on http://beadfluff.blogspot.com and hope you'll come by and see it. I'm finding it difficult to keep up with all the pages for 2008. Is anyone else?
I have tried putting everyone who has a blog on my bloglines list plus the 3 main blogs so I don't miss everyone.
However, time is my biggest enemy. If I am spending too much time on the PC I can't get my work done. So I always put BJP in the blog title if its solely about the project. That way if people are following via something like bloglines, they don't have to read the whole blog to see my BJP work.
Quite unusual, your moose picture. First time I know there is an animal called moose, I had to look it up in the dictionary.
About the BJP blogs: I find I am spending much more time in the internet with the BJP than I had expected. But I consider visiting all your blogs (1, 2 and 3) an essential part of the project, and I really enjoy the amazing variety and meeting the blog owners.
An exception for me, where looking at new pieces or any pieces is concerned, are the flickr sites. Whenever I go to flickr, and I have reduced these frustrating occasions to nill, I feel like looking for a needle in a haystack, without ever finding the darn thing. Links, if provided, never seem to lead to the object in question directly.
What should I do to be more successful without wasting so much time? Am I forced to register before getting anywhere? However, I am very wary of registering to more sites than necessary in the internet.
This is Blog #1 of the 08-09 BJP Blog #2 Blog #3 We have three BJP blogs because Blogger only allows 100 authors per blog. We have 260 members, so in order for everyone to be able to post, we need 3 blogs. We hope you'll visit and comment on all three.
The 2008-09 BJP, starts with September and continues through August of 09. Guidelines for participation may be foundhere.
To be an official member and to post to this blog, you must have registered prior to August 15, 2008.
Visit the 2008 BJPmember pages, a gallery of completed work by members who have finished 8 or more pages during the first year of the project.
We have our own BJP Flickr group, where we can post pictures of our work. This is a good way for members who do not have a personal blog to post pictures. Also, you can see many BJP pieces by different members in one place. You must "join" Flickr to post your pictures.
About the Bead Journal Project
The brain child of Robin Atkins, the first Bead Journal Project, which began in June of 2007, included 241 women and 1 man who were dedicated and committed to creating 12 bead journal pages, one per month, for a year.
The BJP is all about visual journaling using any media and techniques, providing it includes some beading. We are free to structure our bead journal pages any way we want, as long as all 12 are the same size.
The current years' Bead Journal Project runs from September, 2008 through August, 2009. This blog is a means by which we may support each other in process, techniques and design. Participants (many with links to their personal blogs or websites) are listed below.
Due to limitations of Blogger, there are three ongoing blogs to document the Bead Journal Project this year. Here are links to all three blogs:

I admit the multiple blogs have been tough - I feel I neglect the #1 and #3 blogs since I'm in #2...
I love the moose eyes! Really cool - I can't wait to see how all of the pieces look together!

Hello, Mary,
Quite unusual, your moose picture.
First time I know there is an animal called moose, I had to look it up in the dictionary.

I have a P.S. to my comment:
