Week In The Life™ Kits Now Available For Preorder

Are you ready to embark on the adventure of documenting seven consecutive days in your life? 

One of my favorite annual projects is approaching and I hope you'll consider joining me in capturing the mundane little details of your own life.  

For 2014 I'm planning to document my Week In The Life™ from Monday, October 27th through Sunday, November 2nd. 

You can watch a video and see past examples of how I approached this project here

This year I'm going to be using a 6x8 album + divided page protectors (including my new favorite - the 3x8) and products from this kit: 

The Week In The Life™ kit is now available for preorder here

When purchasing the kit you can choose to include a 6x8 album / page protector pack + the kit (see color choices below for the albumsOR the kit-only. There's a drop-down menu on the order page that allows you to choose which color album you'd like to have: 

The white and the matte gold are pleather. The blue and the grey are cloth.

I'll be using the white one. Of course.

In addition to the page protectors that are already inside the album we're including an additional variety pack of page protectors which will enable you to follow along with my design plan. Click on over to the pre-order page to download my 2014 Design Plan. 

I will also have some digital layered templates and other digital products (as I've done in the past) that coordinate with the kit products available soon to help you document your week. 

THINGS I WANT YOU TO KNOW

  1. You don't have to have a kit to participate in Week In The Life™. What you need most is a willingness to document your life over the course of seven days with words and photos. 
  2. There aren't specific dates on products in this kit. Actually, there is one little "2014" on the perforated word/phrase strips but that's it. This will enable to do this on a week of your convenience if the week I've selected just doesn't work for you. 
  3. You can do this project even if you are already doing Project Life®. For me, Week In The Life™ has always been more in-depth (into each day) compared with how I approach Project Life™. For those of you wondering about doing this project in addition to (or in) Project Life®, you can see how I tackled that in 2013 here.
  4. My hope, in offering a kit for this project, is to simplify the process and enable you to focus on the documentation. 
  5. You totally don't have to do this project the same time I do. That said, it's really fun to do it when a bunch of other people are doing it too. 
  6. On Sunday, October 26th a free-community area will open up in the classroom section of my site for people who want a place to share words and photos and projects related to Week In The Life™. This isn't a class, just a place to connect with others embarking on this adventure. You are welcome there even if you don't purchase the kit. 
  7. I'll be documenting and sharing on my blog during the week of October 27th through November 2nd just like I've done in the past. The following week I'll share more about putting the album together and share my completed album. 

I'd love for you over the next month to really start thinking about what you'd like to capture during your week. What's special about your life right now? What's different than last year (and likely will be different from next year)? How can you visually, and with words, capture what's most meaningful to you during these seven days. 

Get ready for another awesome Week In The Life™ experience!

    I'm so excited about this! My niece is getting married that Saturday and it will be a great day to have documented in depth. Her colors are dark purple and wheat so I had to buy the gold album. Had to. ;)

    Love the kit Ali. Fantastic job putting it together. If this is a peek into how your story kits will be, I'm in trouble! lol

    p.s. love that the cards have squared corners. hope this a trend that will continue! :)

    Hi Ali,
    Are the 3x4 cards double-sided?

      Hi! No - they are single sided. They come in a pad with the 3x8 timeline sheets.

    I love this new kit! I usually make an 8.5x11 book, so I'm excited about the new size (for me). Does anyone know where to print good quality 6x8 photos? For the full page pictures/designs?

    If I order the kit, it will not ship till mid October, this means for international customers the kit will unfortunately arrive too late for the settled week. So not sure if I will order it, although it looks great incl. the albums...

      Same thought here! I love the energy of doing this together with a trillion other people, but also really like the look of the paper pads. Will these be offered as digital version too, Ali? Ah, decisions ...

      So I just got notice that the kits are actually already ready to be shipped to international customers! So cool. Will see when I get to start my documentation … :)

    I think I'm going to do it! I have a hard time starting any project but I think with the kit, I should be able to tackle it. I may start a week earlier so that it falls in line with my son being the "Star of the Week" at school. I'm so looking forward to trying this project! --Desiree

    Can't wait for payday to order! I love this size album for projects, and I think I'll do better keeping up if I have the album and journalling cards set up and ready to go before the week starts. I usually do well with taking photos and journalling (I have completed 3 years of the recording), but I've never managed to get an album together!

    I am very excited about this and I can't wait to tackle this project... Love the gray album!

    I am hoping that this will lead to future kits for your other projects as well. I am so looking forward to December Daily!

    I'm thinking for a while now, if I should participate in the project in 2017 for the first time. I do think, it's gonna be cool to look through such an album in future... now I'm single with no kids... but hopefully it will change soon (with almost 31, I should not wait that much longer :-/ ) and then life would be so different. But it looks like a lot of work, documenting my life in details for a week. For a day, it was fun in 2016, but a whole week.... uff, I'm still not sure. But if the kit is gonna be as awesome as this one, I will probably give it a go. I love the 3x4 cards! And also some of the other supplies. So colourful!

    I'll keep on thinking.

    xoxo
    Sandra
