week in the life 2013

…(because I don’t have enough to do)  This week, I’ve been working on / participating in Week in the Life.  This project is an in-depth documentation of one week of your life, spearheaded by the fabulous Ali Edwards.  You can read more about it here on Ali’s blog.

I’ve done 4 out of 7 days so far and still going strong.  Although, I have to admit one of my children is starting to hide when I whip my camera out to take pictures.  I’ll write further about my process in another post (it’s getting laaate here! and time to get to bed) but wanted to post my cover page for Monday here to at least get the ball rolling …

Week in the Life 2013 - Monday

My grand plans of posting my layouts the next day has not worked out so I am opting for focusing on collecting and documenting now and working up the layouts later this week.

I originally was not going to work on this again this year, I’ve done it in 2011 and 2012 and really liked the results but was not up for the time it took to pull it all together.  But I decided to go for it and keep it simple.  Stay tuned and Wish me luck!

Are you working on Week in the Life this year?  Any other big memory keeping projects on the horizon for you?

One of my goals for my blog is to post my Project Life layouts for others to see, be inspired by (maybe!!) and to connect with my far-flung family and friends.  I have been pondering how best to organize this on my blog, but in the meantime, I’ve been trying to shoot some of my layouts in preparation for uploading.  In addition to figuring out how I want my blog to “work”, I’ve been experimenting with how best to shoot my layouts…

Fred, the Cat

For those of you who haven’t been to my house, this is Fred.  We adopted him and his sister Ginger in 1996, so he’s getting up there in years.  Ginger passed away earlier this year and since she’s been gone, Fred has been spending a lot more time upstairs with the humans.  For instance, when I’m trying to take photos…

He’s decided that he must at that very specific moment in time…wake up from whatever pile of blankets or clean clothing he’s sleeping on, and come and see what his human is doing.  I think he sees himself as a household supervisor

And of course, the next thing that happens when I say “Fred!  Get out of there…”  Shadow, the dog races upstairs from her nest on the Family Room sofa to see what is going on…

It’s no wonder that the photos have not made it onto my blog yet…but at least photos of the pets have…. small progress??  I guess I”ll have to take what I can get…
