Weekend Creative : Document Your Weekend
Tags:
[ Shore Acres State Park July 2008 ]
I've decided to do a mini version of my week in the lifeproject this weekend and you are invited you to play along. All that's needed is your camera and a willingness to document your life for two whole days (much easier to swallow than the seven required in the week version).
The end result of this project (whether you create layouts, a minibook, or record it on your blog) will be a glimpse of your life at this particular point in time. I am going to wait until I see how many photos I take before deciding on a format.
Anyone can do this project. Consider inviting your spouse, child, parent, or friend to participate with you.
Feel free to start on Friday night if that's the beginning of your weekend. I'll be starting on Saturday morning and continuing through Sunday evening.
As usual take more photos than you think you will need. Capture, capture, capture.
Here's some things to consider capturing:
weekend morning rituals
the time on your clock when you wake up
your place of worship
Sunday evening routine
capture doing nothing if you are lucky enough to get that chance
the places you go (sporting events, nurseries, out to breakfast, drinks with friends)
in general, what makes your weekend special or different from your life during the week
Don't forget to charge your camera batteries and to keep your camera with you as you go about your weekend.
READY. SET. GO. 
To get your weekend started, here's a freebie download of a couple words for you to use on upcoming projects. Zipped file includes 3 .png hand drawn word images. Click below to download.

I'm not going to play along this time, but I've been wanting to do this sort of thing since I first heard you mention it and WILL eventually! But I love that you included capturing it on a blog as one of the options - not just in scrapbook pages. I've had a stamping blog for a couple years now, and this year started a family blog. This week I've been capturing each day of a vacation we went on last week, day by day, on the blog, both so our family & friends in different states can see what we did, and also so I'll have it as a reference, once I finally do get around to scrapbooking it. I love that my blog helps me capture some details along with the corresponding photos, so when I'm ready to create with paper it will take a little less work! :-)

Whoa, I was surprised to see that photo when I came to your blog today. I have a very similar one on the top banner of my blog. How funny! :)
