The Week in the Life projects that I'm doing were inspired by Ali Edwards. She has put together a page to talk about her Week in the Life project where you can get further information.
I will periodically conduct a Week in the Life or Weekend in the Life project and will post the summary here so they can easily be found.
WEEK IN THE LIFE - 2008
From Sunday, September 28th, to Saturday, October 4th, I documented our life in words and pictures. As I was gathering those words and pictures, I used my blog as a way to remember it all so it would be easier to scrap later.
If you're interested in the raw data (the blog posts) you can find them here:
Sunday - September 28th
Monday - September 29th
Tuesday - September 30th
Wednesday - October 1st
Thursday - October 2nd
Friday - October 3rd
Saturday - October 4th
and a bonus post that I plan to turn into a page for this project:
10 things I am loving right now
After gathering all of the data, I had to figure out how I was going to put it all together to tell the story.
I decided to use a 2-page (8.5x11) spread for each day, and then 6x6 sized inserts to highlight a couple of things about each day. I'll be putting them all together into this album:
I purchased some 8.5x11 sheet protectors and 6x6 sheet protectors for my pages.
I have a pretty simple formula for the pages - I prepared the shells for each day, so all I have to do is drop in the photos and words. Here are the completed pages for the album…
Weekend in the Life - May 2009
Instead of doing a whole week, I decided to do an abbreviated version of Week in the Life this weekend.
You can find the blog posts here:
Friday - May 22nd
Saturday - May 23rd
Sunday - May 24th

Week in the Life - September 2009
I decided it was time to do another Week in the Life project, but had no idea until I looked back at the dates that it has been exactly a year since I did the first Week in the Life project! It has been really fun to compare the two weeks - there are some things that are very different about our lives now and some things that remain the same.
The week of blog posts can be found here:
Sunday - September 27th
Monday - September 28th
Tuesday - September 29th
Wednesday - September 30th
Thursday - October 1st
Friday - October 2nd
Saturday - October 3rd
I will be putting these pages in the same binder that I used a year ago so that we can look at all of these projects together.
