Hi Everybody and thanks for all the introductory posts! Wow!!! What a diverse and lively group we have... on all three blogs!
Two thoughts...
1. Try to make time to read all three BJP blogs. You can leave comments on all of them, but write posts only on your assigned blog.
2. After you write a post to your assigned blog, please check back a few times over the next week to see if anyone has left comments for you!
I notice that on one of our three blogs there are lots of commenters... Bravo!!! Comments are a wonderful way to build community... keep it up!
Hope you're all busy beading and stitching (or painting, pasting, stamping, or....) on your first BJP piece for the year!!! Me? Well, I haven't started yet... However, I have given myself this evening and tomorrow to be in my studio with ONLY my Jan. BJP!!!!!
Have a very beady new year!
Robin A.

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 January 2010 through December 2010. 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.

The thing that I think is so cool about this group this year is the diversity of everyone's skills and talents. There are so many here that I have met, or followed their blogs whose interest is mainly mixed media, CQ, and fiber art besides beading. I am really excited to get it started.
It is very inspiring to read through the posts and see what directions participants are heading, and what they're planning to use.
Good luck in the studio, Robin!

I'm so excited to be here Robin. Thank you for this wonderful project. I do have a question - My name is not listed on the left of any of the blogs. I saw my post on Blog #2, is that my assigned blog? How do I get my name listed? Just wondering :)
Peggy Musil
My New Years resolution is to 'get busy' with my blogs, and bead journal projects this year..hope I can keep it...so many new and talented people this year..can't wait to get started. :o)
Hi Peggy... If you posted on blog #2, then that's your blog. Try this, go on blog #2, sign in and write a post asking to have your name added to the list.
We had three people working on the blog invitations and set-up this year and yes, there are some rough spots. Sorry you got caught in it.
If the above doesn't work, email me and I'll try to get it sorted out... robin[at]robinatkins[dot]com.
Hope you come back to see this...
Robin A.
