Week in the Life (overwhelmed!)

Did you do the Week in the Life project? I did! I took hundreds of photos and wrote pages of journaling each day. Now I'm trying to formulate a plan for how I want to do the album. I have so many ideas flying around inside my head, and I just don't know where to start!

I had it in the back of my mind that I just might be able to get the album done before school started. Um... yeah... Last year, it took me at least six months to have a printed album in my hands, and I thought I was doing great to get it done that quickly. HA! What was I thinking?!

Anyway... I just popped in on Ali Edwards's blog (she's the creative genius behind the project), and boy, do I have more ideas in my inspiration file now! Her album (which is almost complete, by the way) looks AMAZING. Here's a peek:

Go have a look at what she's done so far: www.aliedwards.com

I often see something I love (like Ali's album) and then try make mine look exactly like it. I think that's fine (you know, imitation is the highest form of flattery), but I always end up re-doing it because it just isn't "me." Ali's album is totally Ali. My album needs to be totally Jenny. So, as much as I just want to Photoshop our faces into her pictures (ha! not really), I will have to come up with my own plan. :)
