Day In The Life: August 19, 2017


I’m swimming in projects and I wanted a very fast and simple way to document the photos I captured for August’s Day In The Life. This is only my second time doing this project and I really loved taking photos every hour and writing a few words about what was going on. It will be fun to look back on what we were doing years from now.

Since Aug-19 was a Saturday, I had a more interesting day (compared to many hours of work). Also since my daughter and I had just returned from France that week, our routine was a bit off — especially the timing of our day. I don’t normally start my day before 5 am and end before 10 pm!

I loved creating my own traveler’s notebook a few months ago for the previous Day In The Life, but that was going to take more time and I really wanted something I could finish in an afternoon. I decided to add the photos in a page protector in my regular Project Life album. I used these minimal and modern photo templates from paislee press to create 18 trading card-sized photos to slip into a 9-pocket 8.5 x 11″ page protector.

I didn’t actually have a 9-pocket 8.5 x 11″ page protector but I did have  a blank 8.5 x 11″ page protector and a Fuse tool so I was able to create my own. 🙂

I stuck to using only 3 of the photo templates in the collection and alternated between the square photos and full photos. I added brief text to tell what was happening that hour.

After printing and cutting, I slipped the photos into the page protector and it was done, only a few hours later!

Do you document your Day In The Life? What are your easy and fast ways to get the project done? I’d love to hear.

  11. Hi there would you mind sharing which blog platform
    you’re using? I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and
    Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and
    I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

  12. I have to thank you for the efforts you have put in writing this
    blog. I really hope to view the same high-grade blog posts by you in the future as well.
    In fact, your creative writing abilities has encouraged me to get my
    own, personal site now 😉

  13. Please let me know if you’re looking for a article author for your weblog.
    You have some really good posts and I feel I would be a good asset.
    If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d absolutely love
    to write some material for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine.
    Please shoot me an e-mail if interested. Many thanks!

  14. I am not sure where you’re getting your info, but
    good topic. I needs to spend some time learning much more or
    understanding more. Thanks for great information I
    was looking for this information for my mission.

  15. Howdy! I realize this is kind of off-topic but I had to ask.
    Does managing a well-established website such as yours
    take a lot of work? I am completely new to running a blog but I do write in my diary every day.
    I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my experience and thoughts online.
    Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or
    tips for brand new aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!

  16. What i don’t realize is in truth how you are now not actually much more neatly-appreciated than you may be right now.
    You’re very intelligent. You know thus significantly on the subject of this topic, produced
    me in my view imagine it from so many varied angles. Its like men and women don’t seem to be fascinated unless it is one thing to accomplish with Woman gaga!
    Your personal stuffs great. At all times care for it up!

  17. Hi there this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if
    blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
    I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so
    I wanted to get advice from someone with experience.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  18. I like what you guys tend to be up too. This kind of clever work and
    coverage! Keep up the very good works guys I’ve you guys to
    my own blogroll.

  19. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my
    own blog and was curious what all is required to get set up?
    I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?

    I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% positive. Any
    suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Appreciate it
