Week In The Life™ 2020 | Product Preview
Welcome to the product preview post for Week In The Life™ 2020!
Since 2005 I've been taking a week each year to specifically document what happens over a seven day period. I've done this in good times + in bad times and it's always been something that adds meaning to my life as I document what is real.
This year is obviously dramatically different than in years past. For many, life is completely different from any other "normal" period of time and how it's all going to play out is uncertain. Insert a big deep breath right there. What is certain is that this is a chapter in our lives and a story that can be told while we are living through it. It's going to be hard and it's going to be messy but we can bring a little bit of clarity, a little bit of joy, and a little bit of gratitude through the process of documenting our experience. This has always been the invitation with this project (and all my projects for that matter) but this year more than any other it might be just what you need to help you make a tiny bit of sense of life right now.
Below you'll see an overview of the new Week In The Life™ collection that will be available next Tuesday, March 24th at 9am PT. These products are in the warehouse and ready to ship to you.
I will be documenting my week starting on Monday, May 11th, 2020. Right now that feels like an eternity away. We generally select a timeframe that is about a month out from when we release and begin shipping the products. This gives the products an opportunity to get to other parts of the world before the project begins.
This year we will be offering a Week In The Life™ Prep Day (similar to the December Daily® Prep Day) on Saturday, May 9th. We are still finalizing details and I'll share more when we have that information available and registration is open.
If you are brand new to this project I suggest checking out the Week In The Life™ project page for background information.

Loving the new typography! And those colours are just gorgeous, EXACTLY what I need right now. I was umming and ah-ing on whether I was going to do the project this year or not, but seeing all this has got me excited again

Wow - so much colour and bold font in both kits. You must have both been in a very creative and happy place when creating this one. Really fun!

Love the bright colors! It’s going to be hard to chose which mini kit. Question...will we be able to use two codes when we check out (free shipping and mini stamp)?
Good question! Let me find out about that!
Yes, you can use two codes.
Great! Thanks for clarifying

Will everything be offered digitally as well? If so, when will digital items be released?
Yep! You can always expect that we will have digitals to go along with our releases. Pretty sure those will be available the first Friday in April.

It's like you knew we'd need bright, happy colors! Now more than ever.

Love the two mini kit option! Would you release the two patterns that make up the album as a digital item in the shop for those of us who do the project digitally and then print as a photo book? I would love to have the same patterns for my photo book as the physical album. Thank you!
Yes!!! Great idea!

I'm so excited for this new collection!! The words are so perfect for "everyday storytelling". (They're my favourite kind of stories to tell, for sure!) I'm looking forward to using these designs all year long :)

Those are amazing. Unfortunately the shops providing people like me to purchase a prepaid creditcard closed their doors here in the Netherlands. Sitting home alone in quarantaine, my family too but they have each other, I'm alone. Still nice to see this and trying to remain positive. Thank you, love you all <3 <3 <3

WOW! Stamps sold out quickly. They can be so versatile.Are there any plans on restocking before WITL starts? Or is that even possible with what is going on in the world? Not sure where they are sourced from. Thanks

Does the notice about orders with stamps not shipping until late April apply to the people who purchased when they were still in stock and before it said "preorder" (I placed my order about 15-20 minutes after the products went live). I'm confused. My order initially went through normally and now I'm seeing that "late April" notice everywhere. Can someone please clarify when you get a chance. Thanks!
Im also curious about this as I placed early and stock was available at that stage. Also living in Australia it being sent late April might mean it wont arrive in time for May 11th. I like to have it before I start the actual week of photographing and documenting.
Hi Jodiemaree. I just got a super fast reply from customer service and they said my order was being shipped now. So, I'm "pretty sure" that, as long as the stamps were in stock when you ordered, you should get them right away. It's just the orders that were placed after it showed "pre-order" that will be delayed. But, don't quote me on that LOL ! What confused me was that the notice showed up on top of my order summary, but I guess it's just showing up on all the orders, regardless of whether it applies or not. Have a great day and stay safe and healthy :-)
Hi SilkyTenn. Thankyou for letting me know what the response was. My fingers will be crossed that I'm in the same situation as you and my order is going to be on its way to me soon. Have a wonderful day. Be safe and healthy in your part of the world.

Which Ali inks best coordinate with the Ali designed mini-kit?
Hi! I would say Rose Garden, Honeyman, and Pendleton.

With all that is going on in the world, people out of work, the drop in the economy (the AUD is really bad right now), I believe I'll have to do this project digitally this year. While I love the album, would there be the possibility for your team to release a 12x12 image of the yellow and white stripe for us to purchase to use as the cover for our digital albums at all please Ali (totally understand if you can't - just thinking that may be a small way that many of us who would normally have purchased albums who are unable to due to the global crisis could still support you in a little extra way - I know you'll be feeling the pinch slightly of the impact this crisis is having on many).

Hiya! Love this release, would you be able to share the font so I can add titles to the digital word stamp I bought? Thanks!
The main font is called Mogan.

I'm just now working on my 2020 WITL album (2 years later!), and I'd love to know what the small all-caps font is (the one that says "DOCUMENTING LIFE RIGHT NOW") on the navy blue This Week card. Thank you! :)
