o.k jag är med:-)

Jag har nu beslutat mig för att vara med i Ali Edwards a week in the life utmaning. Är det någon som vill hänga på? Jag tänker att det här är ju ett roligt projekt att vara med i även om man normalt inte scrappar. Man kan ju dokumentera i sitt vanliga fotoalbum eller på bloggen bara. Det gäller att fånga det vardagliga.

Jag har tänkt att använda bloggen som lite av min anteckningsbok så förbered er på lite mer ointressanta inlägg kanske om mitt vardagsliv, hihi! Sen nästa vecka ska jag framkalla utvalda foton och scrappa dom, då kan jag kolla vad jag har skrivit i bloggen också så jag minns bättre. Läs mer på Alis blogg HÄR. Det här är punkterna hon tar upp att man ska göra varje dag:

TAKE PHOTOS. Commit to keeping your camera with you throughout the day. Capture everything. Capture things that may seem silly or dumb. Capture the normal. Capture little things. Capture your environment. Here's a couple questions I ask myself or I keep in mind as I am going about this project: what's my daily routine, where did I go, who did I see, what do I do, what does the inside of my home look like, where do I spend the most time, etc. Capture stuff that you use everyday: your computer, a coffee mug, a favorite pair of shoes, a book, etc. Make sure to take a photo of yourself each day. See the list of possible photos below.

UPLOAD PHOTOS. Take a bit of time each evening to upload your photos for the day. You can use this time to eliminate duplicate shots and if you are really on top of things you could print them out or upload them to your favorite developer to have them ready to create with the following week.

DESIGNATE A PLACE FOR NOTES. Have a notebook or a couple sheets of paper set aside to jot down notes, stories, things to remember about each day. Don't make this complicated. Don't run out and buy a new notebook. The back of some junk letters, the leftover pages in a journal you have always meant to get around to, etc. You simply need somewhere to write down notes over the course of the day.

TAKE NOTES. Once you set up something to write on, do the writing. What should you write? Thoughts you have during the day, things your kids or your boss or your partner say, things you notice (simple and profound), what you ate, etc. Go for the basics. These notes will be transferred into your album when the time comes. See more about recording the story under the category heading below.

DESIGNATE A PLACE TO STORE LIFE-STUFF. Part of the process is collecting bits and pieces of your life over the course of the week. For this I recommend setting up an envelope or folder for each day. You may use some of this stuff and you may not. I tend to keep things like receipts, handwritten notes, etc. These will be companions to your photos + words.

POSSIBLE PHOTOS:

- think about the most basic things/the real life things that you see everyday: those things that are so much a part of what you do each day that they simply blend into the blur of images
- chores
- loves
- dishes
- food you cook
- food you eat
- driving to work
- driving your kids to school/kids at the bus stop
- computer
- what you do for work
- looking down at your shoes
- your front door
- thermometer/temperature outside
- gas prices
- the grocery store/your grocery cart/bags of groceries
- the mess
- piles of stuff
- the funny face your kid is making/funny things they are saying
- laundry
- your child's room, toys, favorite books, etc.
- document the imperfect normalness of your existence

Jag hoppas att nån av er också vill vara med, skulle vara kul att göra denna resa tillsammans med några av mina fina bloggvänner.

KRAM!
