Weekend Creative : Document Your Weekend
[ Shore Acres State Park July 2008 ]
I've decided to do a mini version of my week in the life project this weekend and you are invited you to play along. All that's needed is your camera and a willingness to document your life for two whole days (much easier to swallow than the seven required in the week version).
The end result of this project (whether you create layouts, a minibook, or record it on your blog) will be a glimpse of your life at this particular point in time. I am going to wait until I see how many photos I take before deciding on a format.
Anyone can do this project. Consider inviting your spouse, child, parent, or friend to participate with you.
Feel free to start on Friday night if that's the beginning of your weekend. I'll be starting on Saturday morning and continuing through Sunday evening.
As usual take more photos than you think you will need. Capture, capture, capture.
Here's some things to consider capturing:
- weekend morning rituals
- the time on your clock when you wake up
- your place of worship
- Sunday evening routine
- capture doing nothing if you are lucky enough to get that chance
- the places you go (sporting events, nurseries, out to breakfast, drinks with friends)
- in general, what makes your weekend special or different from your life during the week
Don't forget to charge your camera batteries and to keep your camera with you as you go about your weekend.
READY. SET. GO.
To get your weekend started, here's a freebie download of a couple words for you to use on upcoming projects. Zipped file includes 3 .png hand drawn word images. Click below to download.
Would love to do this but we're going camping, so this definitely won't be a typical weekend in our life and I'm not sure I'll have the time as we prepare to go to be documenting it all with my camera, lol.
Have fun and thanks for the digi freebies!

Well, I loved the week in the life project, so I will definitely be doing this one. Especially since it's a new season.

Hey Sarah - you can definitely use them in Word. Go to insert/picture and then select the file you want to include from your hard-drive.

Thanks for the free files! It's a perfect thing for this weekend as it will be our last "normal" weekend before our big move.
Oh and thank you to for the reminder to charge our battires because both cameras are dead:) Can't wait to do this.

Thank You for the ideas and the freebie. My son graduates from high school this weekend so will be documenting a wonderful part of LIFE. Also thank you Ali for so many of your ideas that have helped me to complete a High School version of an ABC book for him as a gift. It is called the ABC's of REAL LIFE and is filled with wonderful pictures and quotes and thoughts I want him to remember as he heads on to the next chapter in his life. Thank you for all you share as it's always from the heart.

Thanks for the freebie, Ali! I still need to scrap my photos from my last week in the life, but I still will take my camera with me this weekend. This is just the kick in the pants I need! Can't wait to see what you do with yours.

I'm in...even though this is not an ordinary weekend for me due to travel commitments. But, it's an excuse to take pics all weekend long! Keeps me motivated!

Will have to get started I think.
I absolutely loved the one you encouraged us to do last year - documented stuff that would have been forgotten otherwise.
Thanks.
