Here is my June BJP. My theme and journal title is "Inspired By Horses". My journal pages are all going to be 6" x 8", and will be bound together (somehow!) at the end the twelve month run.
My lifelong interests have been art and horses, you can see my horse paintings at my main blog. I decided to dedicate this journal project to a horse each month that inspires me in some way.
The first month of this project is Street Sense, winner of this year's Kentucky Derby. My husband, Clint and I are close friends with Street Sense's trainer, Carl Nafzger. We attended the Derby and were overjoyed when Street Sense won! Clint and I both used to work for Carl, Clint was an assistant trainer and I was an exercise rider. You can find out more about Street Sense via my livejournal blog, where I made lots of entries during Derby week (in April and May) regarding Street Sense's progress and the whole adventure of attending the Derby.

Nice theme and a wonderful page. You made a very fine beaded horse.
I love your first journal quilt. The horse is wonderful.
Caren, what a gorgeous horse, the beads are perfect, looks just like him. I spent time looking at your blog one day about the race. It must have been thrilling.
Hi Caren,
Your horse on the page looks so real and alive! I glanced at one of your horse paintings (I'll have to see more when I have more time :o) and am in awe! I've always loved horses but haven't been on one since I was a child :o)Thanks for sharing, Lillian in WA
What a wonderful fusion of your love of horses and art! Love your theme and your June page!
My goodness, thanks for all the nice comments! I love the beading community. Wish we could all get together and bead at the same time and place!

Caren, thanks so much for the advice you left on my blog... you are right, if I don't watch it, I won't make the next 11 BJP blocks... thanks!
