Join In | A Day In The Life + Dates For 2012 Week In The Life
Tags:
Anyone want to join me in documenting a day in your life this week?
As I was sitting with Simon at breakfast this morning I was thinking that it's been awhile since I did a full day of documentation. I'm planning to do it this Wednesday, February 8th.
If you'd like to join in all you need to do is wake up on Wednesday (or any day this week) with a commitment to writing down and photographing the course of your day.
To simplify the process you can download my set of my printable Daily Sheets and use whichever day you plan to document.
You can blog about your day, create a layout, add it to your Project Life, etc. I'm thinking I might just include an extra page or two in Project Life.
I'll share my experience, and include a place for you to link to yours, later this week.
WEEK IN THE LIFE 2012
I also wanted to announce that I'll be doing the Week In The Life project again this year from April 23rd through April 29th.
You can take a look at past Week In The Life projects here. More details to come.

I actually did a Day in the Life a couple of weeks ago but still haven't had the chance to do a post about it. I'll be using those pictures to join you! :)

I am thinking how uneventful our life is these days ... however I am going to give it a go. Printing off the sheet now. Maybe I can borrow a couple of littles to make things more exciting ... lol.

I threaten to do this kind of thing all the time, and since my one little word for this year is connect, I think I just will! Hopefully it will help me connect with my day and my creativity a little more for a day :)

I remember trying to do "A Day in Our Life" when my son was only a few months old -- trying to document how a day changed from month-to-month. Totally flopped after about 4 months.
I totally think I'm ready to try it again! Maybe not monthly, but as a one-day thing, definitely!

I'm definitely in! I had an idea in the back of my head a week or so ago that I should do a day in the life post for a PL layout, and then it was gone as soon as I had the thought! I'm so glad you brought this idea up!
Have a great Monday!

You know what...I'm in! Always wanted to do this but never get around to it.
Question for you Ali. The photos in the picture above...did you crop 9 photos into a 4x6 photo paper and printed? I'm trying to figure out how you did that.
I think for Wednesday, I'm going to take the approach of just using Instagram on my iPhone instead of lugging my Nikon SLR around all day:)

I love your idea of using Instagram! I have some page protectors that take 4x4 pictures that I need to use up and this would be the perfect project for them.

Never mind! I just answered my own question by following your link to last years week in the life project of yours. :)

I would also love to hear how you made the 9x9 grid into a 4x6 photo. Thanks!

not sure how Ali does it.. but I think I know what your asking..I use the template that she is using ... put all my pics in.. THEN resize it to fit into the template spots.. so basically resizing the template to fit inside the template.. Hope that makes sense :)
I am sure she does it waaaaaay easier :) I love the look!
Cheers,
Jan
I would love to know how you do this Ali! have you done a tutorial somewhere before on how to accomplish this?? SO awesome!!
Hi Kim - those are not 4x6 images - they are 8.5x11.

How exciting! I'll definitely do the day in the life this week. It is amazing to think how my daily life is different now that my daughter is in preschool. Wednesday is my volunteering day, too, so it will be fun to capture that.

HOORAY FOR DAY IN THE LIFE!! That is the day before my daughter will be 15 and I babysit my 2 sweet little cousins so it will be a jammed packed day. This will be nice to include in the PL for the week!! Thanks Ali for the idea and including us!!
I marked the dates in April as well. Happy Monday!!
