Week In The Life 2011 | Bringing It All Together (with Video Overview)

http://librarydayinthelife.pbworks.com/w/page/42017739/Round-7,-July-25th-through-31st-2011 You might find this interesting. A whole week in the life approach taken by many librarians.

Ali- I just had to tell you that the feeling of completing this album has me a little overwhelmed. I didn't think I could love a project as much as I love this one. I participated last year but didn't fully complete it and my goal this year was to get it done:)

Thank you so much for this! I will forever treasure this album.

This project is so cool! I wish I could have been a fly in the room to see exactly how this came together. Thank you so much for sharing!

Loved this project very much! yes I did want do get it done at the end, but SO glad I DID IT! Thanks for awesome posts for WITL project all along!

Thanks Ali for sharing this concept and your process with us. This is my second year doing it and I love having the two finished albums on my shelf. I look forward to doing it again in 2012!

Here's my 2011 album:

I need to be locked up for about 2 days to work on this....sigh...I've started a many AE projects and I hope to finish this one!

That said, I did prefer the summer WITL. There seems to be more "activity" and daylight to capture. During the school year there is a good 8 hours that I'm at work and kids are at school, I tend to have limited pictures/stories to fill the pages.

Thanks for your continued support.

This is wonderful, I love how your album turned out, and I love that you made the video to walk us through it. I didn't make it through the entire week, but I am so inspired from this post - I want to do it and make an album! I don't think I can wait until 2013 though so I might have to venture out there without you. :-) Thank you for sharing!

Dear Ali,
thanks for showing how you put your album together. I love it that you are not doubling up. I had been stalling putting it all together but by the end of your video I had already printed out 6 pages!
Thanks again,
Stephxx

I just want to say thank you again for so much inspiration! This year was my first time to do this and I thoroughly enjoyed myself (as well as got soooo tired of doing the album I couldn't wait to finish it, lol). :)

I just love your work and your philosophy on memory keeping! Thank you so very much for sharing the details of your life/family with us. You mentioned that next year you might do a digital version. Any chance you'll be creating a photo book template? I loved the one that you created for CK at Shutterfly (Everyday Life). I loved just being able to drop in my photos on the various templates, adding some journaling and calling it done. It couldn't have been simpler and its' one of our favorite albums to look at. :-)

I still keep coming back to see what new ones are added. love seeing all the approaches and sooo much creativity!

My first WITL album is finished and I have to say I am so, so pleased with it! I've never done a digital project before, but once I got started with your digital overlays.. I really loved it. It was a very intense week of documenting our life and another very intense amount of time to put it all together, but SO worth it. Thank you for this project and all the terrific tutorials and support on your blog during the WITL project. I will definitely continue this project each year. Already can't wait to see the comparisons from year to year.

Hi Ali, I finally got my album complete a few weekends ago when I got together with some friends. Its now all up on my blog. This was my first year doing it, and I have to say its been my favourite thing I have done this year. I have by no means been original and have followed your footsteps completely, but am really really happy with how its come out and my boys have already been flipping through it. I'm already looking forward to doing a similar album when you do your December daily as I look forward to doing the project in our summertime.

I finally finished my album from July and wanted to share it. You can see it here on my blog. It was a great project and I really enjoyed what I learned about myself and my style while participating. I look forward to doing this again next year! Thank you!

I love this project. I look forward to it. It is a lot of work, but when I look back to the 2008, 2010 versions of the project, I remember exactly why I do it. Thanks for the inspiration (and templates), Ali!

Ali - I FINALLY finished my first Week in the life project and I am thrilled to have participated. I hesitated, then I didn't take many photos, then, I didn't have time to put it together... however, seeing it completed on my desk makes me very proud and excited to do it again next year. I'm also aching to start my 365 project again! Thank you for continuing to push me to do better, in memory keeping, and in memory making. You are truly amazing.

Stunning. I loved that you showed us on video--this album just comes to life in this format-- it's so inspiring this way!! I've never made one, but now I just have too--what a great week for me to start too. Thank you for the motivation!!!

I have to ask. How do you video tape this---I mean with your iphone, a standard video recorder or off your camera? This will be more of a daunting task for me, thats why I ask!!! Thanks bunches...totally loved this.

Oh my goodness! Super crafty. Makes me want to go back and do scrapbooking. Yours look sooo good and inspiring.

Love the Week in the Life project! Photos of my finished book are here:

I love your album! I watched your video and think i may have been saying album wrong all these years! LOL I always pronounced it Al-Bum not Al-Blum
