enJOY it

I realized last night I'm not going to get this album finished by the end of this week but I wanted to share an update since I said I would. I snapped these photos outside since the light was fading, apologies that they came out sort of strange.

I took SO FEW photos. Maybe 20 on the "good" days and closer to six on the other days. It is what it is. Monday was the best with photos and so that day is pretty much done.

I am relying heavily on the cards from the kit to help fill the space.

That's sort of fun though. I'm glad to do some journaling again and the thoughts are the stuff that's easier to forget for me.

I'm also tucking in little bits from our week like business cards and the band-aids Ellerie's obsessed with.

The rainbow quilt is getting a decent focus, mostly because I was taking so many photos of it 😉

And any excuse to print more candid photos is a win. As you can see – lots of blank space to still fill in and I would love to add more embellishments. For the most part, the writing is all done, I just need to commit and get the photos all printed out.  

It's a busy season, but I am glad I am taking the time for this project. If you're interested in Week in the Life, you can learn more here!

    These look great! I love your handwriting – it has such a great style for a book of this nature, and handwriting makes this much more personal than if it were typed.

    I also didn’t take as many photos as typical. I didn’t remember to collect ephemera as much as you did though, so I will need to remind myself of that next year. Especially since a lot of my life documentation is digital now and I miss that aspect from my first year of Project Life when I was completing a physical book with page protectors. I should always remember to collect bits and pieces anytime I am working on a physical book.

    I love it and can’t wait to see the rest! I did Week in the Life for the first time this year. I too am in a busy season and I’m not sure when I’ll be able to complete my album, but this is inspiring me to keep it simple and get it done.
