A Week In The Life Update
Tags:
One week. Seven days. Capturing daily life right now.
I started doing a big project called A Week In The Life back in 2004.
Since then I have done it three more times and those four albums are some of my favorites of my whole collection (skipped 2005 for some reason). Three of them are 12x12, created for my class at Creating Keepsakes University, and the fourth (2008) is 8.5x11. A portion of the project was also featured in my book Life Artist.
2008 was done right around this time last year and many of your played along. I have heard from a few of you that you are doing it again and enjoying the process of having it be the same time each year. I love that!
It's not likely that I will document a week before the end of the year as my class goes through the end of December. Part of my Big Picture class will address some of the same things towards the end of class - but it won't be a whole week.
I hope to do another week in either January or February.
If you are interested in embarking on this project right now I put together a page that documents my process from last year with links to specific posts, products, etc.
Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Hi Amy - go for Photoshop Elements :). It should be just right.

Good question - I just looked at mine and I think you could probably fit 2 weeks in there. It might be a little crowded, but would work.

What is it about Fall that it always seems I want to organize and Spring I want to clean??!! I love organizing tips and have just torn apart my scrap space with a grand reorg in mind. Thanks for a wonderful site!

What a great idea to do this again. I am looking forward to it.

Thanks for the reminder. I journaled/shot photos for this project last year but never go them into an album. (Our home was actually broken into several days before I started the project, so it wasn't really a "typical" week, but one I'm glad I captured. The writing definitely helped the healing process and gave me perspective.)
Anyway, I going to go back and look though my writing from last year and wanted to thank you for the small projects that help capture moments in our lives...big and small.

I spent a fabulous day with family taking our annual fall photos in the mountains and then coming back home to rock out with Beatles Rockband. It's been a great day! Thanks for the chance to win such great products!
