168 Hours : Welcome To A Week In The Life

Ready, set, go! I have already been snapping pictures & documenting since 6AM!!! So excited about this project & guess what??? My teenage sons are "playing along" with me...Love those guys :o) See a bit more of my PLAN & thoughts on "a week in the life" on my blog...
Thanks for the inspiration Ali!

I'm in, but I'll start tomorrow. I'm very excited about this project:)Good luck for all of you!

Hi Ali,
I think I am in. It's a busy week but should be lots of fun documentation. One Question for you though....Do you make a template for printing the 2x3 photos you are going to use in the trading card page? Can you share that template so that those of us who are printing at home on a 8.5 x 11 printer can get a number of photos on it.
TIA

Took my camera with me on my morning walk with my dog Ernie (who is use to having his photo taken - LOTS):-)Now to jot down some notes... Happy Week everyone ♥

thanks for your continued inspiration!! I love both of my previous albums (CKU Chicago and CKU Detroit) . . looking forward to doing it again this year. Off to a great start this morning : )

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! :) Let the week begin. And the week in my life :)

i love this project. and i told myself that i was going to do this. i know that i can do this. i know that i need to do this. i haven't scrapped or been creative in anyway in several months - but that is going to stop here... i do have one question - where do you get those baseball card page protectors i would totally have some to complete this project. thx again for the wonderful inspiration ali. and have a great day! smiles, m-

I finally did this project last fall with my young, busy family - and LOVED the process - it was the first time I have ever scrapped what is happening NOW as opposed to "catching up" with the years gone by. I can't join in this week, but I will again - and will use the ideas of all you guys when I do! Thanks for giving us the idea for this wonderful documentation of our own little (incredible) story!

Good Morning Ali! Thanks for all your suggestions on preparing for A Week in the Life. Love this project. This is my 2nd time doing it and as I reviewed my last one it affirmed to me that this is such a wonderful memory for my family, now and future generations. Already journaled and taken lots of pictures this morning. What a fun way to start Monday!

Great quote!
I also started this morning....not how I intended since my son woke up with an irritated eye and is staying home, but I'm still going forward.
I have no clue yet how I'll be putting it all together, but I will be documenting this week.
Thanks Ali!

Hi Ann,
I just discovered a how-to for the divided page protector photos from the week in the life 2008 the other day. Have a look: http://www.aliedwards.com/2008/10/week-in-the-l-9.html

Finally the day is here! I have been taking photos and jotting down in my notebook all day. I can't wait to assemble it all in a scrapbook. Thank you so much for the inspiration to do this!

I'm SO excited to finally be taking part in this. I'm excited about the process of documenting my life for the week. It always seems like time is flying by, this way I can grab on and hold onto some of it.

I am sooooo excited. One of the first things I did this morning was stop by your blog and discovered the quote you left for us to read!!!! I don't have kids and my life is sort of humdrum but I'm on spring vacation from school (I teach) and this has inspired me to do MORE than just sleep in every day...tee hee! Can't wait to see everyone's books.
QUESTION: Is there a central place where we can all post our layouts to share? I was thinking of posting my layouts at Designer Digitals?

This is my first. This part is the fun and easy part. Mine is a 71 year old view point.

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
