October Completed on time ...

I just got the picture up late this month :) There are a few posts, if you'd like to look at those regarding this month's piece.

Thanks!

Squeeking it in...

Now I *know* that it was a good decision for me to make small and simple pages this year. I made it this month, but just barely ;-) LINK

September - 2008 BJP

Hi everyone, it is nice to be back and checking everyone's work out. As always, some amazing work that you all do. Welcome to all the new members. I started September in September but had computer problems that kept me from posting pictures. I am about 2/3 done with October. My trick this time is I used a smaller page. Last year it was 4" by 5", this year it is 2 1/2" square. I thought at first it would be too easy, but it is actually challenging in getting just the right placing of beads, angle, etc. I am having a great time with my October page.

I have September posted (and page # 8 from the last BJP!)

Happy beading,

Nancy K.

If blogger will co-operate, I will post my finished October piece at http://beadfluff.blogspot.com so you can view it if you'd like.

Sept and Oct Finished!

For those of you who are looking, I've posted both Sept and Oct, finished, on my blog here. They are both quite personal and reflect my emotional state for the past few months. I tried to explain about it in my post.

Thankfully, the BJP has kept me going and feeling happier. I do so enjoy reading all the blogs and being inspired by the wonderful work you all are doing! It's a blessing in so many ways!

October page

I actually finished the beading part of my page more than a week ago but had been waiting on news in order to name it. The news was not as I hoped or imagined, but the beading still applicable.

It seems I am seeing so many pieces for October that are particularly emotional - I am wondering if it is just me because I am feeling so sensitive right now and noticing them more.

Feel free to stop by my blog if you want to see my October page.

Thank you,
Grace

October BJP

I just posted my October BJP on my blog http://heidibeads.blogspot.com/ and a few calendar dolls from Beaded Art Dolls and even the bead gift that came in the mail from Denise - a big thank you hug to you. Happy Columbus Day! Thanks to everyone who visits - it's such inspiration.

October BJP Complete

This month's BJP is finished. It pretty much shows my daily struggle to accomplish things, both what I want to do and what I have to do. Some days I get it all done, sometimes nothing. Almost always I feel I'm running around in circles which makes me "crazy". Also, October is my birthday month, and being a Libra it's my thing to try to balance. Sometimes, I'm not so good at that, but I do try.

I've seen the beautiful work submitted so far for October. A few times I wanted to just hold on to this months page, save it for another month, and do a Halloween themed page (one of my favorite Holidays). But, this really seems to fit me now, so I kept it. Hopefully soon, I'll get it together and will be more organized. If not, look for the possibility of seeing another "crazy circle" in upcoming pages.

I still have time this month, maybe I will do a Halloween piece to add to my decorations. That is, IF I can find time to do one.....

If you want to take a peek, you can find my page and a full description here.

Thankyou!

To all those who stopped by my blog to offer helpful suggestions I give a big THANK YOU!! You helped me out a lot. And if you stop back again you'll see what I've decided on.

Not one, but two per month!

I've decided I'll try doing two pages per month - one more artistic, the other more of a journal/intuitive expression of my life right now. Thanks for your suggestions Robin!

See my blog for my Sept pieces, with one with beaded edges, the other mounted and framed.

For October, I spent a while planning out the artistic piece and worked on some samples - and promptly screeched to a halt when I realized I'd misplaced a hank of multi-colored beads I'd planned to use. Guess that project will have to wait a bit longer, until I've used more of the supplies I already have.

For now, its back to the drawing board. I have added a number of photos of completed and nearly-completed projects to my Flickr album.

Uh oh!

I have had an Uh Oh! moment. It's kind of connected to those senior moment kind of things. I have a question on the size of my pages. If anyone is interested in giving their opinion I could sure use it. For all those who say their opinion is never listened to I am willing to hear your suggestions. I don't guarantee I'll do what you suggest but I will listen. I'd really appreciate you coming over to my blog and helping me out.

October: Getting Started

I have started my block for October, I am going out of town this weekend and wanted to have the painting part finished so I could take it with me to work on. If you want to see it you can check it out on my BJP blog. I want to thank everyone for all of the great comments and say once again that I am amazed at how we are doing and all of the wonderful diversity already showing for this year.

Using Labels

So - it's me again. Now that we are in full swing, I'd like to repost some info from Robin:


Labels
For this BJP year, I've already determined the acceptable labels for your posts. Please stick with these labels. It will take a few posts to get them all in the index. In this post, I've added all the months. If you post about your work for a specific month, you can use the appropriate month label for it.

When you post, click on Show all at lower right of posting box, and choose appropriate label(s) from the list shown.

The reason to limit the possible labels is because it's easy to get too many labels (confusing) or ones that are too long (hide the down arrow).

Hope this is OK with everyone. If you feel it's important to add a label, please ask Diane M. (our blog master) about it. Thanks!

Please note... there are too many of us to label posts with our names. Instead, please sign every post with a link to your blog, website or email, as I have done below.
