BJP friends in Minnesota!

Hi Everyone!

I just posted on my blog, here, about beading with three current BJP members in St. Paul, MN last week. We had a blast! There's some sweet eye candy for you to see!


Registration is progressing nicely! Good to have some of you back again!!!

Quiet, but still at it

Hi all, I've been off the grid a while, but I'm still working on my projects. Today I added 4 month's worth to my Flickr account, but I've not gotten to my blog yet. Please drop by for a look-see and celebrate my progress! I've missed you guys and hope to get caught up on all your wonderful work while I've been gone. I'm also looking forward to next year!

Still playing catchup!

I'm still playing catchup on 3 months - March, June and July. This is my March page. I'm still inspired by Pat Winters and decided to do another crazy quilt piece. March is my birthday months and this year was one of the big ones... The photo is of me on my 1st birthday, purple and green are my favorite color combo and I think the rest is pretty self explanatory.

My June 2009 page posted

Good Morning!
Last night I posted my June page. This morning, I realized that I didn't post a notice on this blog. That's a good thing, because I have been thinking about the 2009 project and the fact that I have only made 10 pages. I started this, my first year, with a post of a beading of my face. Would I reveal my inner self to you, or hide behind a curtain? Recently I knew that I would end this year with another face. After finishing my June page, I realized that this page, for me, is actually the end of the 2009 project.

So I am 10 out of 12 months completed. I have decided that with the coming holidays and the fact that I am dedicated to making ALL presents, I don't want to rush through 2 more pages just so I can say that I completed 12. And, amazingly, I feel no guilt about the decision.

So, please visit my blog. I had so much fun doing it and I can honestly say that the beads took the lead.

Yes, I am participating in 2010 and I hope you all come along with me!

Unsunny Sunday...and 5 more!

Five more partipants for the 2010 BJP to report this morning...

Thank you everyone, for joining, for talking and blogging about the BJP to your friends! I guess I need to get busy too, only 3 of us from Wisconsin so far! ;)

Have a wonderful and blessed rest of the weekend...

Bead Pals >>>> BJP 2010!!!

Tomorrow is the official FIRST DAY of registration for the 2010 BJP!!! Hope to see many of you returning for another year. Even if you didn't finish this year, we'd love for you to start again.

I've spent the past two days with Elaine Hartley, a bead pal from Ohio!!! Below is one of her pieces...


Check out more of her work on my current blog post, here. After seeing my work and hearing about the BJP, Elaine decided to join us in 2010! She'll be so much fun to have aboard!

I'll be in Phoenix teaching all next week. When I return, I'll be checking with Pam T., our registration angel, and hope to hear lot's of you are on the list for 2010!

Beady blessings, Robin A.

August Complete But Miles to go Before I Sleep...

Hello beautiful BJPers,
I have really enjoyed watching so many of you complete the bead journal project for the year!

I have completed August. But, don't celebrate with me too early! I am still not finished since I skipped three months --- November, June and July.

Until I get those done, take a moment to check out August and the piece that is most special to me so far this year.
