Week In The Life™ 2015 Updates
Tags:
We've got a date! I'm excited to let you know that I'll be documenting a Week in the Life™ from August 17th through August 23rd, 2015.
A seven-day documentary project, Week in the Life™ began in 2005 as an annual opportunity to capture the simple everyday details of life with photos and words. You can check out all my past blog posts on this project here, view my gallery and watch a video here.
Join the free Week In The Life™ community (includes message board & gallery for sharing your project) and grab this word art package:
It's been fun seeing this word art pop up on images on Instagram using the hashtag #weekinthelife.
If you'd like a simple way to share you are participating this year we've also created a couple of ready-mage images for you to use that you can download on the Welcome Page in the free Week In The Life™ community.:
Pre-ordered Week in the Life™ kits for 2015 have started shipping.
Preorders placed after July 15th will ship the last week of July (and still qualify for free shipping). More details on the preorder page here.
The kit also includes your choice of 6x8 album (see images on the kit page) - each come with 31 page protectors:
The digital kit (includes the cards and stamp set) should be available in the shop soon.
I'm getting super excited to embark on this project again! Thank you for being part of this community and being interested and willing to capture and celebrate the stories and images of one week in your life.
Let's tell stories together!

Even though I can't commit to doing WITL in August, I am going to buy the kit :) Love it and when I'm ready, it will be here in my stash and waiting. Thanks for the free community and week in the life art...so awesome.

I was on the fence about trying WITL but the timing of it tipped the scales in favor of doing it. We will be visiting my in-laws in England that week and this will be a great way to capture things. Next stop...ordering my kit!

IN LOVE with that washi! For those of us who preordered the kit early, when/how do we get the free digital kit?

Oh gosh! That is just beautiful. I'm going to have to be super prepared for this one. One of my busiest weeks with work.

Just ordered mine. I wasn't going to, I was thinking about an every other year sort of thing. But, we just found out my SIL's health isn't as good as we'd hoped. Since she was staying with us last WIL, and she'll be with us for this WIL, it just seems like fate is telling me to record our week with her.
Thanks, Ali. <3

Ali,
Thanks for creating such a great inspiration for us! I wasn't sure if I could commit, as I have older teens, but after reading about Heidi Swapp discussing the importance of taking pictures at her son's funeral, it just really resonated with me. I'm excited to document a week in our family life, especially because my oldest will be returning to college in the fall, and I want to document our daily life with our complete family under one roof. Thanks for all that you do. You are awesome!

I had decided to do it already, and pre-ordered the kit, but as with you @homemakermichigan, I also have been moved by Heidi's last couple of weeks and the beautiful thoughts she has shared. I have chosen to document the week earlier as that week has a bigger focus on my teens with both playing sport, which truly is more indicative of our 'normal' week. Ali, just a question for you, are you planning on bringing out a new layered template for WITL this year in the 6x8 format? And also are you planning on stocking extra page protectors for the albums? I saw that you have the 3x8 but not the other sizes on your store. Thanks so much.
This project is for anyone - people who have small kids, people who have teens, people who are empty nesters, people who are single. My encouragement is to embrace and document where you are right now :).
@meldarcy - there will be new layered templates coming out during the next month. The ones from last year are available here: http://aliedwards.com/shop?utf8=✓&category=digital&search=week+in+the+life&commit=Search+Shop (you can easily delete the date and add in 2015 if wanted). At this time I don't have any additional page protectors in my shop but Studio Calico does have some available if you need extras: http://www.studiocalico.com/shop/page-protectors

I'm excited to do this! Nothing special going on that week, so it'll be a perfect time to document an ordinary couple of days. Beautiful kit!!

I'm signed up. I looked back at past years. I seemed to have started in 2008 but I've hunted high and low and can't find 2009. I do have the last 5 years. It's amazing how much has changed yet how much is the same! I'm so glad I did these albums just wished I had kept them all in one place!
