2nd February
It was a cold and frosty morning this morning. I couldn't go anywhere until my windscreen had cleared, so, I decided to take my, "Year of mornings," picture. The frost looked so beautiful.

I'm not very good am I? lol
Well, this year of morning stuff is proving to be a problem for me. I spend all morning running around and completely forget to take my morning picture!
Oh well, here are a few shots, not necassarily taken in the morning, that I have managed to take over the past month.
17th January - what a beautiful morning sky <3
19th January - Took a quick snap of my home-made packaging before delivering a clients CD of pictures to her :o) She loved the packaging so much she's keeping it :D
20th January
Our knitting group received a package at the Library today, containing a booklet and a certificate, as a thank you for knitting some dolls :o)
26th January - 08:25am
26th January - A proud Mummy moment for me. I took one of my daughters to a recording studio. What a beautiful voice she has <3
Bex - Hallelujah
29th January - Ok so not technically taken in the morning, but, I am loving the fact that this seems to be turning into a daily diary for me :o) Here's a shot taken of one of my, many, beautiful daughters

A Year of Mornings
A friend of mine, Debbi, started blogging about her, "Year of Mornings," this year. So, I decided to join her in her quest, all be it a little later than she started hers.
Here's the link to her blog
Swirly Girl
Now, I'm not going to promise to take a picture every single morning, as I never know what every new day will bring, plus I have a terrible memory, so I may forget to take a picture lol.
Here's what I have so far ...
9th January
Our baby girl's "Dress up as someone famous" day at school.
14th January
I woke up this morning to find this! lol
One of my daughters had been doddling last night before she went to bed.
... and while sitting in the library with my 2 youngest children, I noticed how beautiful the windows looked.
16th January
It's funny when I think about it ... most people see children playing in the playground. I see the light, and the silhouettes and shadows of children playing in the playground :o)

It's been a good year
Well, it's been a year since I posted last. I can't believe how fast that has gone!
In that year I became a member of, "The Royal Photographic Society," where I had the chance to go for my Licentiateship Distinction.
I never realised that working on a panel of 10 images would be such hard work! I mean, after all, I have millions of pictures on my computer surely it's going to be easy?!
Having to make all 10 coherent was more difficult than I had imagined! I felt I would never be able to do it!
I lost a lot of sleep over that and I was so nervous about the whole process, I decided to knit my Grandson a cardigan. I know, that sounds strange, but, because it was a fairly complex pattern I had to concentrate so hard, that it helped to take my mind off my panel :o)
My panel was judged on July 7th and I passed! Yay! I am now officially know as Alison Greenwood LRPS :o)
I hope you like my panel as much as the judges at, "The Royal Photographic Society," did.
Following that, our local Photographic Society had it's annual Photoshow. I entered, of course, with a number of images and gained 1st place, in Slides, People & Portraits category, with "Once Upon a Time"
2nd place, in Slides, People & Portraits Category, with "Radiant"
3rd place, in Slides, People & Portraits Category, with "Fill the Frame"
and 2nd place, in Prints, People & Portraits Category, with "Blow Dry"
And finally, at the end of August, we went to visit my family. Taking the cardigan I knitted for my Grandson with me, I managed to get a picture of him wearing it ... yay! Of all the things to get him to say, to get a natural smile out of him, his Daddy told him to say, "Aubergine," lol. Too funny!
He's such a sweetie.
Until next time ...

Just finished making a Robot :o)
So ... a pringles tube, milk bottle lids, pepsi max bottle lids, newspaper, pipe cleaners, cardboard ...
and a few layers of kitchen towel and PVA glue later ... we're almost done ...
... now for some Silver and Black Acrylic Paint. Some white for the eyes and some catchlights, of course, teeth, keyhole and electric coloured buttons and a few shadows here and there and it's all done!
In other news ...
I am extremely proud to announce that one of my 14 year old daughters tried out for the County Hockey Team with the Army Cadet Force and made it!
Then she had to go away for the NATIONAL try out ... and made that too!
Then she had to go play matches against other ACF counties in the National Tournament and the North West ACF came 1st!!!
Yay! WTG Jennie and all the other members of her team.
We wanted to show her how proud we were of her so we bought her a Trophy and had it engraved with her name.
Well done Jennie! I am so proud of you!

Oh dear!!!
I've fallen behind so badly, I don't think I will post all my pictures from the last half of June and the first half of July.
In fact, I have been so bad at keeping up with posting, I think I will just post a favourite as and when I get it.
I just can't keep it up anymore. I am so busy with life in general and photography projects.
I hope you enjoy my favourites.
