168 Hours : Welcome To A Week In The Life

I should have put the camera on my nightstand as I went to bed last night, because I woke up EXCITED to start this project, and wishing I could have caught the wakeup routine. Good thing I have 6 more wakeups to capture. :-)
Thanks, Ali, for the inspiration.

From the moment I committed to myself to do this project I've been thinking - planning - from the past perspective, asking myself what little ordinary things my 3-year-old grandaughter will enjoy knowing about Ammie & Andad when she is a teenager, thirtysomething and a grandmother herself. It is a persepctive I wish I had of my own grandma and what makes this project so special.

Love this quote!!! It really resonates with me, as I work full-time and wonder "How will I document the seeming sameness of the workaday world." I carefully photographed different parts of my commute this morning, including my unexpected stop at Discount Tire, as my WEEK IN THE LIFE started with a flat!
I think I am going to work that quote onto my Title Page. I love you Ali Edwards! Three Cheers for the Documenting Society!

This week is always incredibly inspiring! Thanks, Ali!

Yes - forgot to add this to this post. Here's the Flickr group: http://bit.ly/9XcLGz?r=td

Hi Mary - I actually found mine this time at Toys R Us (totally random by the baseball cards). You can also find them at office supply stores like Office Max or Staples.

I am really excited about this. I am posting pictures to my fan page on facebook (www.facebook.com/themomcreative) and am using a combo of Webster's Pages paper and plain cardstock for my album.

I started taking my photos this morning. I'm doing mine digital so I picked up your templates too. Thanks for making this project do-able.

I think the quote would make a great opening page for this album/mini-book. Thanks!!

WAHOO!! SO glad to get this started!! I've been chomping at the bit all weekend!!LOL

Ali, do your Designer Digital Journal Cards have a white or grey background? I'm seeing white, but they print grey.

Okay---Here I go! Both feet plunging in!
My first photo today was my clocks (I have 4 lined up on a shelf) at 4 a.m. today--my bedtime :-)
I've never tried such a project and hope I can actually make it through to Sunday night ;-)
Thanks for any inspiration I will be gaining from all of you! :-)

Hi Ali!
I just wanted to tell you THANK YOU for the awesome journaling cards that you created. They are SOOO easy to work with and I filled out several of them over the weekend (I always start with Saturday). I love this project and am enjoying remembering that "this is life." Thanks again!

Thanks for the inspirational quote to start the week off! I'm excited about this project. When you did it in Fall 2008, I managed to do a day...which turned out wonderfully, since that day was my 30th birthday...but this time, I'm looking forward to documenting the whole week. Happy Monday! =)

Good Morning!! Today has been an exciting ordinary day thus far. What's funny is that even the mundane task of laundry has become more fun when I snap a few photos of dresser drawers and clothes hanging in closets... I decided to write my journaling points on my blog and I'll transfer them or just print the blog entry later. I express myself better in type than handwriting...
and I agree... the quote would be FABULOUS for the entry page. :)

YAY! Thanks for a chance to win! Love the quote too!

That quote is so amazing. I need to use that for my son's coop preschool. The parents would enjoy it just as much as I did. I am nervous about this week. I feel in a panic because life, as it normally does, got in the way of my time to prepare for this week's adventure. I am going to just go for it anyway and hope to come out at the end with some sort of album. You inspire me Ali. Your blog is my FAVORITE to follow. In fact, with as busy as life is right now, I make sure to check in to see what's going on with your blog almost exclusively.

i know im not unique but, the thing i think is most special about me is the fact that i overcame alcoholism and have been sober for almost 7yrs despite great odds. thats why i love your scrapbook philosophy of one-day-at-a-time documentation so much.

I love all of this! Thank you,
Susan
