Join In : A Week In The Life

Count me in! I love to document my family's life. It changes so often that it helps me remember how it was and also how much progress we make from year to year! (It's also proof of how much I do even when I feel like I get nothing done!!!) Thanks for the invite Ali...I'll be there!

I forgot to add, any plans for adding new product to DD for this project? I love your stuff and own almost everything!

yay!!! i so wanted to take this class with you but was not able to attend where you were teaching it. i am definitely playing along!

Yes! I'm so glad you're doing this. I didn't take this class, but I've always thought it was a very intimate and wonderful idea and have meant to do it on my own. I'm so glad to do it along with you instead. The timing is great for me, too, because next week I will transitioning into a new kind of life: my husband gave his 2-week notice last week so that he and I can run Izzy Video and Paperclipping full-time. It will be perfect for me to document next week.
Also wanted to say congratulations on the publicity in the NYT article. I know some, like Nancy, read it as a slam, but I definitely did not--and I noted others didn't take it that way as well. I think he portrayed you as a patron of going back to the basics of sharing a part of your self and your world in scrapbooking--and you definitely brought that back to me.
He identified the struggle many of us experience with wanting be creative for creativity's sake, for really wanting to leave a part of ourselves, while we also try to have a place in the industry. It's a real struggle; nothing wrong with stating it. Anyway, good job on that, and congrats on the new sponsors, as well!

I'm in! Had just decided yesterday that I was going to do this project again starting on Saturday or Sunday. (I took your class at CKU in Dearborn MI in '07) Cool coincidence! I'm now going to start on Monday and work along with you. Can hardly wait!!

Sadly, I've never made a LO or album about a day in my life. I've considered it, esp. since my life has changed so much over the past few years. I am really looking forward to doing this with you. Maybe I'll even be motivated to go back and make one of past years?!
Thanks for the inspiration.

This sounds FANTASTIC! So fun!!!

shazam! This project is on my list of "to-do" layouts, and I just have not picked a week to buckle down and do it....looks like next week will work! It will be great to get a few prompts on here each day for the project. Thanks, Ali!

I can't wait!!!

How fun... just going through the week with the mindset of noticing the little things is a fun change.

Hi Ali - Thanks for doing this. The album I made in your CKU track is one of the greatest things I have ever done. I love the idea of doing it again, now. And having the two to compare. You are amazing.

That's so funny! I just posted on my blog yesterday about my Week in the Life project from CKU-Orlando last year.

Consider me on board!

You have no idea how excited I was to read that you are going to do this 'class' with us online. I can't wait to play along and start taking photos next week.

This project is on my to-do list since I read your book. I'm in!

Sounds like fun - I'll have my camera ready on Monday.

I can't tell you how excited I am that you are doingt this. I will turn 50 on Saturday the 4th and this was one thing I wanted to do during this week, pay attention and record the details of my life. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Okay, I'm in. I'm scared but I'm in. Every time I try to do something like this, I don't finish, so I will try my best. I will be vigilant. I will get it done. Thanks for wanting to do this and for sharing it on your blog. You truly are inspiring to so many of us.

My 2006 Week In The Life album is still my fave album I've ever done. I've been wanting to do another one, so this is just the nudge I need. Thanks, Ali!

I do A Week In The Life the same week every year - for the past 3 years. I do very little other scrapping, so it's a real treasure. I always include a gas receipt, which has already resulted in "remember the good old days?" I choose the week ending in Mother's Day so I never forget to do it. Thanks for the awesome inspiration Ali!

Count me in :-)
