About the 2007 Bead Journal Project
We are 241 women and 1 man who are dedicated and committed to creating 12 bead journal pages, one per month, for a year, starting June 1, 2007. We live in 13 different countries, including 37 states in the USA. Our primary goal during this process, is to stretch our creative and technical limits. The BJP is all about visual journaling using any media and techniques, as long as it includes beading. We are free to structure our bead journal pages any way we want, as long as all 12 are the same size. Through this blog, we intend to support each other in process, techniques and design. Until September 1, 2007, we will not post pictures of our finished journal pages. Many of us have our own blogs or websites (links below) where we may post pictures sooner.

This is just for us. This is our place and our time to let it all hang out, to let ourselves be carried away in the moment, to let go of judgments and interpretation and planning, to go deeper than words!

Conngrats on finishing July! Can't wait to see it!
Maybe you could start both August and September at the same time... get out fabric and beads for both of them; then just start on the one that seems the most compelling to you at the moment.
Breathe, Bethan! You have as much time as you need.
Hugs, Robin
Thanks Robin, your comments always make everything so clear and they soften all the edges. I have started one this afternoon. So I'm not yet late for August and early for September.
Enjoy your visit with your Mother.
Hugs, Bethan
