Week In The Life : Tuesday

The album set has ALL YOU NEED! I bought it first and downloaded it to see what else I would need to get and was pleasantly surprised to see it had everything! Cannot wait to use it - I am a big picture girl so want to see more of the week unfold before I plug in the days - but am so excited to know these templates are waiting for me at the end of the week! =) - pennyscraps

Whew! I thought I was crazy to have taken SO many photos in one day. I am having fun with the project, but realizing that there aren't as many things to capture EVERY day. Some things are repeats, and that's cool. I'm also putting emphasis on THINGS now. Like my son's cup, detangler for his curls, etc. I still need that photo of me sitting at my computer though!!!! :)

I am constantly being amazed at the power of me. The past couple of days have made me realize how not so insignificant the moments in my day are. I started out thinking my story would be oh, so boring but since documenting especially how I feel (and not what I try to do for everyone else) I found that I do have a voice and it is not boring! That put a smile on my face.

You are amazing Ali! These photos are genius because they show you, just your "really you"!! This week, I can't do the project this week, so I know I will do it next week (holidays) and the one after too!!!! One for holidays with kids and one for "work time".

I'm loving this project so far, although it's been a challenge to find ways to take interesting photos at work. Thanks for leading this!
Here are my favorites from my Sunday: http://larillos.blogspot.com/2010/04/week-in-life.html

OK Ali, I have to ask. How are you taking great photos in the car???

My favorite photos from day 2 are on my blog...except I forgot to add one of my little girl....maybe I'll go back and edit one in. We didn't do much on day 2 and we've hardly done anything so far today! :)

I love that Beth.

Following your prompt, I finally posted a couple of favorites from monday and tuesday on my blog:

And now that my kids are a little older, that quote hits me right in the heart :(

My fave from yesterday...http://www.flickr.com/photos/dnsvm/4540227345/

haven't uploaded any of my photos yet ... planning to do that at the end of the week ... but my favorite photo from yesterday is a picture of my daughter (8mos) eagerly crawling towards my son (3yro) as he's playing with his trains, much to his dismay, of course.

Robyn, your album totally rocks!!! I hope you will share how you made it because I would love to know! :)

I am doing the same thing with the Word doc open all day but it is true that it is more facts than thoughts right now... I am having a hard time going "deeper"...

What a beautiful idea Ali. I was so moved by your photos. I realize now that though I love to craft & I used to love taking photographs & journaling prolifically that I have laboured under the misconception that scrapbooking has to show a polished life (and I've felt ever since gaining weight that I don't fit that picture, so I stayed out of the camera & have never tried Scrapbooking my experience out.) Your everyday photographs--and that poignant quote--made me realize that my life is memory worthy. That's more powerful that I can say! Thank You!

In just making a comment on my observations so far on a Week In The Life project, all I can say is: THIS ROCKS! I am so loving the idea of this project. It is making me go deeper into the everyday moments. And now since I've literally had my camera attached to my arm, I have gotten pictures that I normally wouldn't have. And so far, those pictures have been the best. Like taking a picture of each of my kids (4 yrs, 2 yrs + 6 months) before they woke up in the morning. I'm totally loving this.

Love your photos. I've been blogging about my days as well using my favorite photos from each day. http://dani-adayinthelifeofacoffeeaddict.blogspot.com/2010/04/week-in-life-day-2.html

Totally love how you are bringing this together Robyn - the different perspectives are so great!

Glad to hear I'm not the only one with a husband (and kids) that are rolling their eyes. They are not getting it or enjoying having their photos taken. They say they are tired of seeing the camera out. Kind of took the excitement out of it for me, but I'm still going forward.

I am selecting the "best" photos each day instead of waiting until next week when I put together my album. I think it will be too hard to wait until then. I am then uploading them to my Mom Creative fan page on Facebook along with some little notes. Loving this process!
