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 in...even though this is not an ordinary weekend for me due to travel commitments. But, it's an excuse to take pics all weekend long! Keeps me motivated!

Awesome idea, thanks for the freebie.
Will have to get started I think.
I absolutely loved the one you encouraged us to do last year - documented stuff that would have been forgotten otherwise.
Thanks.

So far my weekend is really up in the air...start on a cruise or stay home. Thanks for the great freebie and I may start something just to relieve the tension of wondering.

Awesome idea, Ali! I have to debate if I can "take this on" this weekend or not, but I totally would love to. Your Week In the Life project was my all-time favorite, and I love the final album from that---every day I cherish it more as things change and I have that record of "how it was," at least that week! ;-) Thank you soooooo much for the freebies! I absolutely LOVE your hand-drawn words, they are my favs!
(And by the way, I am still anxious to see what else is happening with Simon's school "stuff"---I made piles right after your post inspired me, and well, those piles are still sitting . . . desperately needing more inspiration, haha!) Have a great weekend! =)
