Week In The Life™ 2015 Updates
Tags:
We've got a date! I'm excited to let you know that I'll be documenting a Week in the Life™ from August 17th through August 23rd, 2015.
A seven-day documentary project, Week in the Life™ began in 2005 as an annual opportunity to capture the simple everyday details of life with photos and words. You can check out all my past blog posts on this project here, view my gallery and watch a video here.
Join the free Week In The Life™ community (includes message board & gallery for sharing your project) and grab this word art package:
It's been fun seeing this word art pop up on images on Instagram using the hashtag #weekinthelife.
If you'd like a simple way to share you are participating this year we've also created a couple of ready-mage images for you to use that you can download on the Welcome Page in the free Week In The Life™ community.:
Pre-ordered Week in the Life™ kits for 2015 have started shipping.
Preorders placed after July 15th will ship the last week of July (and still qualify for free shipping). More details on the preorder page here.
The kit also includes your choice of 6x8 album (see images on the kit page) - each come with 31 page protectors:
The digital kit (includes the cards and stamp set) should be available in the shop soon.
I'm getting super excited to embark on this project again! Thank you for being part of this community and being interested and willing to capture and celebrate the stories and images of one week in your life.
Let's tell stories together!

Ali, just out of curiosity, why did you select this week?

I wanted to do another week that was still summer for us (school starts after Labor Day here). I also wanted it to be farther away from December Daily stuff. Next year it will move to the spring - where I hope to keep it for awhile vs. the fall.

My kit arrived today. I am so thrilled to work this project again. Took class with you at CKU Atlanta a zillion years ago (12x12) It will be so neat to compare then and now in a similar but different format. Thanks for all the great work. BTW, where do I find my digital parts for the project?

Got my kit yesterday and I'm so excited to do this! It looks fabulous. This is my first time, though I've wanted to do it for years. It's actually a perfect week for me, as well. Can't wait!!

I just got my kit and this will be my first time participating. I don't even know what I am doing but I thought it looked interesting. I was hesitant at first as my children are 20 + 18, thinking I'd have nothing interesting to document. Then I realized as I follow along with you from August 17-23 I will be documenting my youngest moving into a college dorm room and I felt like I was going to cry. The timing is perfect. Thank you for creating this and giving me the opportunity to document this bittersweet and amazing time in my son's life. God bless!

Hi Ali,
My transparent divider pages arrived and they are ever so cute! Thank you for that little bonus for preordering my 2015 WITL kit! My kids are grown, so like last year, I will have to look for things to document that might be of interest to them or their kids in the future . . . but how much would I treasure such an album if my mom or grandma had created one!
Also, I ordered a set of your new pens and the large gray alphabet stickers. Love! The skinny writing pen writes so smoothly -- it's fabulous! And I love the gray color of the alpha stickers. Gray is not an easy color to find. Love how you can layer an embellishment or two over the letter, as you did in your "yellow house" layout. Keep up the great work, Ali! I'm a longtime scrapper, and you inspire me to think outside the boring box in my head.
