Shower!

OK, so I didn't post any more Week in the Life pictures. I'm not sure if I'm going to. There's tons more pages and now that the project is over, I'm a bit bluhhh about it. I might just do a flip-through video of it all.

But this is my favourite page of the whole week and I wanted to share it here. I had so much fun taking these pictures and the page itself really stands out in the rest of the book:

A Week in the Life - Wednesday and Thursday

Here are my A Week in the Life-pages for Wednesday and Thursday:
The day starts at midnight, so the first picture is usually that of my alarm clock, so you get to see what time I go to bed.





On Thursday I decided to take notes throughout the day and then refer to the pictures:

A Week in the Life - Monday and Tuesday

I first heard of 'A Week in the Life' at 23.30 on Sunday night, a whole 30 minutes before the week would start. Not that much time to get things organised, but hey, I had a book, I had my Pogo printer, so I could get started.

Unlike most of the people doing this A Week in the Life-project, I'm not a scrapbooker, and I was doing this project every day at the end of the evening. From what I can tell most of the scrapbookers took notes and pictures throughout the week, and are now starting on their scrapbook pages.

When I first started doing my pages, something was off:

The pages needed PAINT! So I spent every night giving the pages a colour wash before adding pictures and words.

Much better! On Monday night I also spent a lot of time adding my DIY tape, and carving journaling spot-stamps for me to use throughout the book. I stamped a few pages and put them into a new pocket I made at the back cover of the book, so it was all in one place and ready to use.

So here we go, A Week In The Life, the pages for Monday and Tuesday:

A week in the life

Why do I always hear about cool new projects at the very last minute? It was about 30 minutes before midnight when the lovely Paula aka Journal Artista Tweeted about 'A Week In The Life', a fun project where you document everything in your life for a week.

Take pictures, collect paper stuff ('daily ephemera' sounds so posh), journal etc. etc. about everything going on, and the good thing is: it does not need to be anything fancy. Even if you do the same thing over and over again for a week, that's still great to document!

So right away, I was hooked. Figures, right? But then I started wondering what I would use for a journal for that week. Or would I use my current Art Journal? Nahhh..
I decided to go with a journal that I bound over a year ago, during Leslie's bookbinding class, finally putting it to good use.
What I have in mind is a travel journal a bit like the ones I've done before, but without the traveling. Sounds like fun, right?
I've already ordered some more Polaroid ZINK paper for my POGO printer, because I'll be taking tons of pictures, I'm sure!

Please let me know if you are joining this Week In The Life project, I'd love to see your pages.
