We're starting week 20 today. Week 20! Everyone has done so well and seems to be really enjoying their projects.
Once you've linked up, it would be great if you could pop over to a few other blogs and have a look and comment on their chosen photos. The further down the linky you are, the less comments you receive and it can be demoralising. As much as this photography project is a personal thing, merely linking up shows that we want people to see our photos.
A few more people have joined up to Project 366's Facebook group and it's brilliant to see the community growing. They offer support to those taking part in this photography project, and give much blog love. We've made it a closed group so that not every Tom, Dick or Harry can see the content but if you'd like to join just click the 'ask to join group' button in the top right hand corner of the page.
MAD About Photography
Thank you!
I can't really begin to tell you what it means to be a finalist in the MAD Blog Awards, but it's a hell of a lot. I've always loved taking photos, even when I was a child and my mum and dad bought me my first 'film' camera. I've progressed now onto my dSLR, my phone and an iPad but regardless of the means, for me it is about the composition and the content.
To have so many people nominate and then vote for me, means so much. I've only been blogging for a year and a half, and to make it to final five finalists from the 143 nominated is overwhelming. The support for the 366 linky is amazing, and it has grown into an amazing community of people helping and supporting each other. Thanks to them.
I'm incredibly grateful to everyone that voted for me, thank you so much. I hope that it's because of photos like this that you've nominated me:
Equally, I'm aware it could be because of this:
Or maybe this?
Either way, thank you from the bottom of my heart, it means a lot because I'm just a mum with a camera.

Tuesday 8th May 2012 – 'Squeal!'
Look, look, that's me!
Getting Snappy!
This morning, The Boy and I popped into Cardiff to pick up a few things. While we were settling down for a Starbucks and a cake, I checked my mobile phone and saw a text message from the marvellous MammyWoo:
"YOU'RE A FINALIST IN THE BIBS!!!! Me too!!! Wahoooooo congrats!!!"
Nearly dropping my frappucino and cinnamon swirl, I replied with words that I can't repeat on my blog. Thank goodness I was in Starbucks because I was able to use their free wi-fi and check twitter and the BritMums Brilliance in Blogging website; Mammy wasn't lying!
I haven't stopped smiling to myself all day, it is such an amazing feeling to get this far. To have been nominated by peers in the first place was overwhelming, to be shortlisted amongt nineteen other bloggers was astounding and humbling. But to have been shortlisted alongside seven others is just… wow!
Thank you to every single person who nominated me in the initial stages, and then voted for me at shortlist stage. Without your support, I wouldn't be here. It's all down to the judge Julia Boggio to decide which one of us is the Snap! winner for 2012. There is such great talent in the category, that just to be at this stage, then be there hearing my name read out amongst the other nominees on the awards night is reward enough.*
Thank you!
*Well, almost. Who wouldn't want to win?!

We're entering the fifth month of the year, we're getting nearer and nearer to the halfway mark and everyone is doing so well! A few people have dropped out over the past few weeks (I blame Easter!) but it's a hard project to do. Months ago I said it would get easier once the weather improved, I am clearly to blame for the monsoon occuring in Britain at present.
Once you've linked up, it would be great if you could pop over to a few other blogs and have a look and comment on their chosen photos. The further down the linky you are, the less comments you receive. I'm trying something different this week, random ordering with the link-ups. Let me know what you think?

Day 120 of the project, almost 1/3 of the way through. Well done to all of us for getting so far and I hope you're finding it easier taking the photos in your daily routine and enjoying doing so. This project shouldn't be a chore for anyone, in fact it's such a valuable way of recording your evolving lives and the small moments which can be missed.
Last week I set myself the challenge of taking photos and editing them on the iPad3. Yep, that went well. Maybe it's because I'm still learning how to use its camera, maybe it's because despite having a 5MP camera it still has the tiniest lens in the entire world with no flash or light meter. By Tuesday I was itching to pick up my dSLR, but I set myself a challenge and stick to it. As it so happens, Friday's photo (this week's chosen link-up) is one of my favourite photos of The Boy, and goes to show how invaluable editing software it sometimes. Thank you Camera+!
