Photo-a-day AdventWe have been chatting in the December Photo thread and come up with an idea of ' A Photo-a-day Advent thread' so instead of the usual main pic we will have an advent thread with a new pic each day (24 pics).It (hopefully) will work like this:- if we have say 8 people you will have to post 3 pics. So the more the merrier. If you would like to join in please sign up, here, making suggestions of themes. Once we have a few themes I will do a poll and collect dates that you CANNOT do, then I will draw them out of a hat or something. So sign up below please |

Me Anything to do with Christmas 
|
||
| lloyd |
Yup.
|
||
| Kathy |
I'm in, and so is Coco. Christmas animal theme.
|
||
| Libby |
Has everyone got animals? I like the idea of a Christmas animal theme just can't imagine my cats sitting still having been decorated, but could be a larff.
What about a picture that has either a Christmas or Winter theme? So could be wintery view or as Kathy suggested Christmas animals, or presents or whatever the persons take on Christmas or Winter is. |
||
| Cabbagepatch |
Sounds good to me
|
||
| lloyd |
Can't the theme simply be "Festive", or Christmassy or something which then gives everyone teh widest creative scope? | ||
| Libby |
Even better idea Lloyd
|
||
| Libby |
Ok thats 7 of us
Me Dragonfly Lloyd Kathy Coco Cabbagepatch Aqui so far? Any more for any more? Is everyone happy with the 'Festive' theme that Lloyd suggested? We need to cover 1st December to 24th, currently thats about 3 pics each. Can you please PM me with any dates you CAN'T do

|
||
| Libby |
brilliant thanks!
Hope to sort out the dates for everyone today and will PM them to you. Just let me know if you need reminders am happy to do that providing I remember of course 
|
||
| Kathy |
Thanks Libby!
|
||
| Libby |
Right have PM'd you dates, some of you have 2 days some have 3 days. I only have 2 so can do a few more if necessary.
I will start if off with a new thread and then each day gets its own topic within that thread, then we can comment or reply to each pic, you'll get the gist as it goes along. As I said let me know if you would like a reminder. Remember to have fun
|
||
| Aqui |
can i have a reminder for mine please (most of the time i lose track of the date!) | ||
| Libby |
no problem
|
||
| lloyd |
3rd DecmberHere's my first one, (getting in early, busy day on the 3rd..................
|
||
| Libby |
Awww! | ||
| Kathy |
Bless, doing what labs do best!
|
||
| Cabbagepatch |
That was young Saflets last year and I can't believe we have shared her life for a whole year.
Wonder if she'll try to eat the tree again this Christmas...... |
||
| coco331 |
Sorry, this was a rushed job, forgot all about it. 
|
||
| lloyd |
Hmm....No Friday or Saturday in our Advent Calendar?
|
||
| Libby |
Yes there is, they are in the darkroom thread
|
||
| Kathy |
Oh, so was the rule to be a separate thread for each day.
|
||
| Libby |
I though so as it ment everyone could comment and then when the next photo was put on you would'nt have to trawl through pages to get to the the pics.
We could give it its own section in the darkroom if you would prefer? |
||
| lloyd |
This IS the Darkroom thread?
|
||
| Kathy |
Ok, to clarify, make a new topic in "The Darkroom" forum with your photo. A new photo topic for each day, I've got that right now haven't I?!
|
||
| Libby |
Yep, dated for each day.
Sorry if I wasn't clear before
|
||
| lloyd |
Sorted.
|
||
| Libby |
I just wanted to comment on this, I think it has been very succesful a twist on a theme and I must admit I have loved seeing everyones pics.
I hope you all enjoyed joining in
|
||
| lloyd |
It's been really good fun, and with a lot of effort from Libby holding it all together.
|
||
| Libby |
just like trying things different and as it was my idea I felt responsible for it working well
|
||
| alison |
Thank you to all of you.
I know I haven't been posting much, but I have been in every day and have really enjoyed these pictures. |
