Week In The Life : Wednesday Photos + Words

I am having so much fun. What a wonderful project. I didn't get quite as many pictures today as the last two, but enough I think. I am so excited to put the album together! I always have my camera with me and take random pictures often so that aspect at least is easy (I don't really notice the stares as I whip out my camera in Fred Meyer!).
Thanks for the inspiration and the gathering of like minds!

I am chugging along, today has been harder to write down stuff. I keep on taking pictures and need to go back and look at them. I am hoping the pictures will help me remind what I did not write down in words.
My husband is away so this week is not totally typical...but it does show how our lives are when he is away. I hope to get more pics of me when he returns.
Thanks for the challenge and sharing, Jess

I"m still going- I have my 12x12 pages DONE for Monday and Tuesday! I would love it if you could check out my blog! http://senovia1.blogspot.com/
This is so awesome! I love this project! Thanks SO MUCH for hosting and having all of us do this with you!

This is still fun so far!!LOL!! I like to blog it so then that way I'm writing my journaling at the same time. Maybe it would help some other's too!! I'm posting my pictures and then rethinking through my day and it happened and tyrping it right out. I'll be glad at the end so I can send my pictures off to shutterfly and start putting this all together.
That reminds me I do need to collect more stuff. I've been doing more facts, like grocery bill, weather and thought!!
Thanks Ali. This is a blast. BTW I finally got your book. Even though I was not 1-10 at CHA. I hosted Happy Hour at CKMB. Loving it!!

Yes, still going. This is awesome! I urged my friends to join along and the funniest thing happened to one of them. Yeah, you!
You know who you are ( I'm sure she will be reading this)
She was at the store documenting and taking photos when a stranger came up and said "Hey, do you know Ali Edwards? Are you doing the project, too?" I'm sure there are hundreds of us documenting our lives this week. How awesome to be part of something so big and so personal. Thanks again for the encouragement and the motivation.

Still following along. But I have to say; It's hard to make decent (and interessting) pics when you work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. It brings me back on earth and realise that I don't want to do this (working 40 hours a week) for the rest of my life. I hope that within 5 years I can do this project again and be happy about the photo result...
Tanks!

It's harder then I thought but I am greatful to be doing it. I add in Stacy's project too.
Who knew our lives would be so intresting and different from day to day.

Still going. I'm a bit disappointed in my photos - it is soooo dark here in Finland this time of year that with my skills the photos are not what I'd like them to be. But I know the album will be interesting anyway, so I keep on taking the blurry & dark photos :-) Happy about a few successes as well. I still love the idea of this album and even before finishing this album I think I'll do another one later.

I'm still going strong :) I have to remind myself though that not this project is my week, but my week is this project! I am terribly good at procrastinating and fiddling around with my camera, forgetting what it actually was I was doing and documenting. Working on it though! I even had a few ideas how the album could come together, which I love, as this is my first scrapbooking project and I was a bit anxious to do it "right" before starting this. A perfect chance and a challenge, as well! It's not hard for me to take "enough" photos or collect "enough" stuff, but to keep focused on my day (setting priorities is my weak spot). So this is what I am trying to achieve!

Hi Ali,
I was wondering if you could post a copy of Simon's communication book or email it to me.
I am trying to improve communication with my daughters kindergarten teacher I think this would be perfect!
Congrats on your pregnancy, she is one lucky girl ;)
Hugs from Germany,

I'm still playing along, taking photos every day and I have also uploaded them every day + edited some to put on Flickr and in my blog. I don't write much each day, I just make a short list of what I've done and where I've been:)

At the beginning of the week I've made lists of what to take pics of and they help me not to forget about things but mostly I'm just clicking as I go along. My husband is also taking more pics of me than normally because of this project. One of the pics I'm shooting daily is the view from our livingroom, it has a great big window and that view is one of the things we love most about living here. Sometimes we just sit and watch the clouds sail by for a little while. I always keep a journal (not the kind with feelings but about what we do, so it's easy to write journalling for our photoalbums and I don't have to worry about forgetting things when I'm behind on those), but now write more detailed than normally.
I'm going to scan the covers of the dvd's we watched/cd's we listened this week and try to find the logo's of the shops I've been to.
I'm thinking about making an album about how it is to live here, still in doubt to make this project a part of that, keep it seperate or make it part of the 2008 album.
I think most of my pics look horrible 'cause I don't have a lot of patience these past couple of days to really take time and compose a pic, and the lighting is often horrible (autumn has set in, it's really rainy and clouded and despite of the big windows it's so dark I have to turn the lights on during the day sometimes), but that's ok, these pics are snapshots of everyday life and I'm going to have small prints of most of them anyway.

still snapping away despite the rolling of eyes from a few family members and a few places that actually won't let me take camera.. so Im doing a ton of still shots to tell the story better
need to write a bit more..
still having fun!

Hi Ali,
I love this project! I love the calendar on the clipboard! Where did you get the calendar? Love that!

Lady Scrapsalot: I know you asked Ali but I just wanted to give my input..hehe. I would totally cheat and take a photo later. Like right now I'm headnig to the gym but not bringing my camera, so I'm just going to use the photo I took of the gym when I walked past there yesterday:)

Still playing along and enjoying it!

I did the first 2/3rds of the day.... now with all your inspiration here... I am planning to do this next week! :) I will be a week behind you all :)

Enjoying the project - have slowed a bit on the pictures, but like you feel I will have enough to use. Don't have a ton of papers yet this week, very little mail - a skating receipt and not much else. Looking forward to help putting this together.
Have a great day
Nicky

Hey Ali!! I started yesterday because I was already working on a monthly album for September. So I decided to document the first seven days of October this way.
I love that it's giving me more fun time with my camera instead of just nonstop shooting for work.

Still playing! I'm having a hard time remembering to write things down, though. And when I do finally remember, I feel like I have nothing to say. My routine is the same everyday. Oh, well.....
