Ali~ I have so enjoyed this project! My son is definitely through with the picture taking but my daughter was still posing for pictures this morning in her new vest! It's amazing how many things I miss on a day to day basis by just going through the motions. It really made me stop and enjoy even the dreadful tasks like cleaning the bathroom. I realized how many thing I really did get accomplished.
I did have a bit of a scare though. I did a photo shoot today and swapped out my memory cards right before I got started. When I got done I couldn't find the card I'd been shooting with all week. I was seriously near tears. thanks goodness I found it on my third look through my camera bag.
I'm so grateful for you and all that you share! Thanks you.

Hi Ali
I've decided that I want to use your digital templates from designer digitals to put my Week in the Life album together. Can you remind me when you posted about how to use those? If not, I will go a'searchin! Thanx!

My, my, my. So many lovely comments you get from people. That must be nice. Just wanted to add to all the nice-ness. It's been a total treat stumbling upon your site which has allowed me to stumble on other sites and then stumble... I think you get the picture. I'm newer to the blogging world and I am getting a total kick out of it. Yee-haw!! I'm not too into scrap booking (a bit scared of it I think) but I do love photography. Your projects have got me back into using my camera all the time. And it feels so good! :) Thanks for your lovely images. And thanks for the inspiration. I love, love, love good inspiration.

Love the photo of the "Rainbow" with the rainbow colored umbrella.
And we love this project. I'm out of town this week, but next week my sister and I are going to be on it--we don't live close, so we'll be keeping tabs on each other through blogs.
Thank you for the inspiration on something that is so important and valuable. And for sharing the details--it makes it all seem very do-able.

Hi Ali, I think my question may have been lost within all the comments in the last post, but if you have time I would love some suggestions ...
On Friday night I was admitted to hospital due to complications with me and the pregnancy, I spent 24 hours in hospital. The 24 hours were pretty much a blur, and obviously I took no photos. Anyhow, My question being - how would you suggest I document in the scrapbook those 24 hours (Friday night and the whole of Saturday.) ? I still want to scrap the week, because no week is normal (esspecially this one!) and I thought about a photo of the hospital, but the hospital I stayed at was over an hour away, so thats not realistic. Any suggestions would be helpful and much appreciated.
Thank you for sharing your week and personal life with all of us.
Kylie :)

Ali,
loved seeing what you and your family did during this week - although I didn't do the project myself!!
Love the shirt you are wearing on top of that white longsleeve one.
Hope to see your album about this past week soon.

Kylie - I would include it as part of the week even if you had no photos. Maybe some paperwork you brought home from the hospital or just the story of the experience - even without the photos it is documentation of your life ;).

Hi Ali:
Check your spelling on 3 Down in your crossword! I couldn't help read the clues, being a crossword nut! :) Anyway, I think you'll find it clears up a lot of other answers! lol
I had a blast with the project and will send my photos to Snapfish for processing. Can't wait for your insights!

I'm guessing that's your Holga in the photo up there. I've recently borrowed my hubby's and I LOVE shooting with it. The photos are so amazing and retro, yet, still now. We're both in a show here in KC for the First Friday in November called through a plastic lens. All the artists are shoot with Holgas or Dianas, all square format photos, all framed alike as well. I didn't notice where you are, but if you want more info, email me. I'll pass it along...
