enJOY it

an archived personal and craft blog from Elise Blaha Cripe.

my week in the life plan.

Winthelife

I'm super excited to join in with Ali Edwards' Week in the Life this time around. I am going to take lots of photos (hoping for 15-20 good ones each day) Monday through Friday this week. I'll be sharing the photos and some text here on the blog every evening. (Every morning there will still be a regular/non-week in the life post.)

As of right now, I don't have a plan for how this will all fit into an album, but I figure photos and text are the first step. I'll worry about putting it all together in the weeks to come.

I'm excited! Especially since this is a pretty non-traditional week since Paul is still out of town. I even cleaned the apartment really well so Future Elise thinks Present Day Elise had it all together.

Are you joining in?

    I’m excited to see what you come up with for Week in the Life! I’m participating–even though my week isn’t a “typical” one either!
    Excited to see what you come up with! Good luck!

    I still haven’t decided! lol
    I’m thinking about taking the pictures and blogging about them, but not pressuring myself to put them in an album at this point…we’ll see how it turns out because this week is going to be a crazy busy one at work!
    Good luck and have fun! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!

    I think I’m going to join in! Looks like so much fun. And I have an unused 12×12 album that would be perfect 🙂

    Wow, i can’t believe I am just hearing of this! I am definitely considering joining in. It sounds like a great way to document some of the things I have been wanting to capture for my minibook.

    Oh I really really wanted to join in this time!! However, Baby Dude is due and I just got finished helping with my sister’s wedding this past weekend, so I really haven’t had a chance to prep 😦
    Oh well, maybe next year. I am looking forward to prepping for “Project Life” for 2012. Super excited about that project!
    Can’t wait to see your “days”!

    I hope to! Since we’re both kidless, I’m especially looking forward to seeing what you decide to document. I could use the ideas and inspiration!

    I’m all ready to go and so excited! I’ve done it twice before but I’m hoping this time I actually complete my album. Can’t wait to see what you come up with Elise!

    I’m so glad you posted about this tonight. Its the first I’m hearing of this project. Perfect timing too, I could really use something like this to pass the time this week. My husband is going to be SO BUSY this week and then is going out of town Sat. It was going to be a long week but now I feel like this project will really make it a good week (or at least help the time pass).

    I’m in and this will be my first time doing WITL. It’s going to be nuts at work, but I’m going to do it anyway. I’m still wavering on how I’m going to put it together, but I figure I have some time. Can’t wait to see how you put yours together.

    I am playing along this year. I haven’t in the past because I always forget! I, too, am only going to worry about taking the photos and getting my day written down. In the next few weeks I will order my prints and figure out how I want my album to come together.

    I’m in! This will be round three for me and the first year I will finish pulling it all together soon after 😉 I hope shouting this out into the web will help me stick to it. As the little boy is due before mid August, I don’t think I’d manage to finish it “sometime later”. Here’s to a wonderful week for all of us!

    I’m in!! My first time at this one. I’m using Ali’s .pdf files to note my day and snapping as many pictures as I can. I hope to have at least 4-6 good ones a day – so we’ll see.

    I’m in too! This is my first time and I’m really excited about it. I started on Sunday so I’m already on Day 2. I ordered some supplies and I’m going to make some of my own as well (journaling cards, embellishments). I live alone and my only child is 22 so I think I’ll have a different perspective than many others. I think it will be a really fun project!

    thanks! I am just doing M-F because Paul gets home Friday night and I am looking forward to a weekend (and then week) of doing nothing but soaking up time with him before he deploys. 🙂

    I am doing the week in the life thing this week too!
    can’t wait! I bought a DCWV album from joannes 8.5 x11!
    I have taken over 250 photos so far today, but mostly because we met with a homeschool group at the park and they asked me to take photos for the group we started!
