2014 Week in the Life | Monday

Hey there! This past week (Oct. 27-Nov. 2, 2014) was the documenting time for Week in the Life, which is hosted by Ali Edwards.

To be honest, I was not as gung-ho about this project last week as I would have liked. I was tired. I forgot to take pictures sometimes. Writing all the journaling is time-consuming and painful when your hand cramps up. I was just going through the motions.

Then, yesterday (the day after the documenting ended), I decided to start looking through my photos and placing them in Ali's templates. Y'all. It was inspiring! I got all the title pages finished and even completed my entire 4-page spread for Monday! That has never happened. Seriously. I am still working on my Week in the Life albums from 2011, 2012, and 2013. No joke. I think I might actually get this one done, like... before the end of the year! That would be amazing.

I think it was actually a blessing in disguise that I wasn't as gung-ho during the documenting time because it meant I took fewer pictures. Fewer pictures to work with means fewer decisions to make. Fewer decisions to make means faster scrapbooking. :)

Here are all the days I've finished for 2014 Week in the Life:

    The pages look great! I love the templates. And you're so right about not taking too many photos - I have a day where I really didn't take enough (I started early and kind of forgot that I was doing it) but the days where I over-documented are a little overwhelming! I'm just starting to put mine together today. Getting inspiration from the gallery :)

    Fabulous job, Jenny! You have so many great photos here. And the journaling! This will be so fun to read in the future. I've always wanted to do A Week in the Life, but I'm always behind on everything else. Maybe someday!

      Thank you, Donna! I only have one album finished from 2010, and all the rest of the photos and journaling are just waiting for me. I say just jump in and do the documenting, and then if you have time to put it into an album, go for it! If not, you'll just have lots of extra material for Project Life that week. ;)
