Ever since I learned about scrapbooker Ali Edwards’ Week in the Life challenge, I’ve wanted to do it. But I’ve just never taken the leap and tried it. So I’m committed to doing it this year from July 25 to 31. It will be fun to document what a “regular” week in our life looks like right now in the summer of 2011.
I don’t think the pictures and record-keeping or journaling will be the difficult part. Instead, the challenge will come in printing the pictures and putting everything together in a book…and sooner rather than later! I really love scrapbooking but can’t seem to make the time for it since Avery came into our lives. That means I have hundreds of memorable pictures of her but nothing to show for it in tangible books. She loves looking at pictures and videos of herself on the blog, so I really should put together some books of her life for her to enjoy. Maybe this project will jump-start my creativity and motivation.
Of course, part of this project will include updating the blog with daily posts throughout the week, so you too will get to know what happens in our family every day that week. Wish me luck!
