Hi all, my October BJP is done. I really hope my spiral takes a good shape because it's not matching the original, but I figure one way or the other it will work. I'm really enjoying working on this.
The BJP has launched me into other projects and challenges. Check out my home page (at the bottom) for my list. I just finished one sponsored by the Viking Sewing Gallery inside of our local Joann's Fabrics. The Challenge was to make anything using recycled denim. So, as a recycler myself, and because I love making dolls that I learned from Robin's inspiring book, I made Green-Jean, The Go-Green Goddess.
I'm finding many of these projects on the web. The Beading Daily email newsletter has one and listed a few for charities. Where do we start with all these??? Sign up for the Beading Daily . I wasn't sure I wanted something daily, and I still don't, but they do give some good info. And they've mentioned Robin twice in the last week!
One List of charities.
Well, enough is enough. Have fun on your journal pages. And have a beady good day!!!

This BJP has been a jump start for me too. I am so very pleased with it!!!
What a marvelous work in progress, Karen! I enjoyed reading about the significance of all of the components you added to each part of the spiral. Your "Go Green" Goddess is a beautiful manifestation of your feelings about caring for our environment. Thanks for sharing your story. -Karen
