Walking into the bathroom first thing and finding both cats on the counter is definitely worth a photo. Ernie (the one on the left) is an only-drink-from-running-water cat. Actually he really only drinks from faucets. We tried one of those cat fountains and he wasn't into that either. Sam (the one on the right - he's the one who is always in his basket in my office) has recently decided that he wants to drink only very fresh water also but he prefers it in a small dish.  I took a shower first thing today and brought my phone in with me to listen to a podcast. I decided to try a new ..read more

Today I'm sharing a look at Week 15 in my Project Life album for 2024.  I had lots of photos for this particular week because I took Anna to a big volleyball tournament in Reno. I added a full 9x12 page protector as an insert to hold those photos/stories.  For this one I mainly used pieces from the April Stories By The Month kit.  Let's dive into my process video:  Here's a look at the spread:  For this week I decided to use the vellum frames (and one paper version of the same design) from the April SBTM kit to hold some of my photos. I cropped them in Pho ..read more

Welcome to my Week In The Life 2024 post for Monday.  PROJECT REFLECTIONS All day long I continued to give myself permission to ease into this project. I let myself get what I got when I could get it and I'm so glad I decided to pick up my big camera. I took a combination of phone photos along with my Canon EOS R6 over the course of the day and it's likely I'll continue that pattern throughout the rest of the week.I love that what I captured today feels very representative of this particular season of my life and I'm so glad to be diving into this project once again.  ..read more

Hey there everyone, this is Jessica Luther! I’m excited to be here as a guest on the blog today to share some of my thoughts and ideas on Ali’s Week in the Life project. I’ve participated in Week in the Life for the last three years and those albums act as time capsules for stages and phases of our life that have passed us by. Before I dive into my plans for this year's album, I wanted to share what has worked for me in the past. Looking back and thinking about what I’ve done previously, helps me decide how I’d like to move forward with this year's approach. What I’ve done in years past that h ..read more

Continuing along with my Project Life 2024 project with Week 14.  This week I've included some of my recent projects using the Around Here Story Kit as inserts (6x8 projects going right into my 9x12 album). In addition I added in another insert for the main April card from the Stories By The Month Kit which gives me a fun chance to play with a see-through pocket on the top.  Let's dive in to the process video:  And here's a look via images:  For my repeated element this week I used a 3 inch circle punch and cut the circles in half. Each of my 4x6 photos got one added on ..read more

Hi friends! I’m happy to be joining you to share my approach for Week In The Life this year. Week In The Life is one of my favorite projects. Time is moving fast and life is changing all the time, even if we don’t notice it, and this is one of those projects that is so fun to look back on and see how different (or similar!) things are today. I’ll let you in on a secret: most of my Week In The Life albums are incomplete. While I am pretty good at capturing the photos and words during the week, I am not as good at finishing them up. I am not too worried though, since I have all the “stuff ..read more

Diving back in to my 2024 Project Life album with Week 12.  During this particular week I traveled to Tennessee/Kentucky for meetings with Inked (who manufactures + distributes our products). It was so fun to travel with Katie again and get to see Lisa and Kelly in person. I kept this one fairly simple using elements from recent Story Kits to support my photos.  Let's dive in to my process video:  Here are images of my spread:  I started this one by printing out all my photos and slipping the "around town" card into the pockets.  On top of five of my 4x6 photos I ad ..read more

Hi friends! It’s Denine here, and I am excited to share my plans for Week In The Life 2024 with you today. This year, I am working in the 6x8 album. First, because I am in a season of life right now where I am not sure if I could fill a 10x8 album. Second, because it is just so darn adorable! I am totally in love with the font + the black and white color scheme, too.  Let me begin by saying that WITL was not a certainty for me this year. I’ve been feeling a bit unsure about my storytelling lately, and I questioned my ability to pull off such a huge project. This will be my fourth year par ..read more

Hello Lovely People! Week in The Life is almost here! Hurraayy!!! I am Nolana (@nehlan.has.a.plan over on Instagram) and I'm certainly ecstatic about participating in the project this year. I've spent the past month and more ruminating over what and how I'd like to document this year. In addition to having FUNN, I'd love to focus on a deep dive this year, so setting up in advance is one of the keys to my "success”.  In this video, I share my initial album setup and chat about my ideas for this year! Some of the recurring things I'd love to focus on this year are: Daily Intentions/Goals ..read more
