2009 Weekly
Thursday, January 22, 2009 at 01:02AM Oy. It's 2/3 into January, isn't it? Sorry. In any case, without further ado, here's my 2009 Weekly album that I'm going to keep up during this year:
I found this fun binder at an office supply store (I *think* it was Office Depot, but don't hold me to that). Love the acrylic covers and metal binding! For the title page, I just used some scraps and made a quick page. Now that I look at this picture, I'm thinking I may go back and add some rub-ons directly to the acrylic cover. The title page, itself, is actually in a normal page protector as the first page of the album.
Inside, I used many, many more scraps and 27 baseball card holder style page protectors (they're not the actual baseball card holder pages but are designed specifically for scrapbookers...made by Ultra Pro and purchased at Hobby Lobby at half off)...
I'm seriously so stoked about how many scraps I used up here!! (Yes, I've already gone through and filled each of these slots with patterned paper and/or journaling cards or other tags...part of the beauty of this is that it's ready to go, so it's not as overwhelming each week. That's also partly why this has taken so long to get ready to share, lol!)
For the record, on this first page, that calendar is by Teresa Collins, the number stickers are American Crafts, the number in the circle is from this Etsy shop, the little day of the week journaling spot is by Heidi Swapp, the journaling card is by October Afternoon (it's in the middle row on the far right), and the scalloped circle day of the week card is from this Etsy shop. Yay! (Okay, I'm not going to list out supplies every time, but wanted to give you a feel for what I'm using. I actually have a little baggie of odds and ends that I have dedicated just to this and will add things to it as I go.) Here's a shot of the next two weeks:
As you can see, I've added photos and other stuff and will continue to do so...might even add smaller pages between the page protectors with a photo or two. Again, I'm just so excited by how much of my stash is going to get used up on this project alone! :)
So. What do you think? For those of you tackling the photo a day dealio this year, how's that going? This, for me, is going to work easier than a photo a day. :) Process-wise, I've been jotting down thoughts through the week and then just taking a few minutes at the end of the week to put them all here.
And, just because, here's a photo from this afternoon:
It was stinkin' gorgeous outside! (Sunny and in the high 60s or 70s...though a cold front and possible snow is expected Friday, of course.) Obviously, then, we had to go out and take advantage of the nice weather. I love the look on Asher's face here as he "beats" Noah back to their starting point. (Incidentally, shortly after this photo was taken, I did insist that he take the sucker out of his mouth while riding, lol.) After bike riding, all three settled down for some sidewalk chalk action and a quick game of tag before we left the house for our late afternoon music class and errands. What a nice afternoon!

This looks great! I am so jealous of your wonderful weather out there!!!
hey thats a cool idea!!! I may have to lift that!! I can't do the 365 thing, so mine is just going to be random thoughts and photos!
Such a great photo...I love the way you've done your 365 album!!

It looks like you are off to a great start!
I love the clear binder...I might NEED one of those ;)
I am trying to keep my photos organized and my notes. I have not printed any photos yet though or put any notes into my binder...not so good of a start.
the album looks awesome, amanda!!! :) keep it up!!
i'm not taking a photo a day, but rather, i'm posting an old photo a day on my second blog. just a fun little project to help me get my old photos scanned and able me to share them with family & friends during the process!!
i'm loving it so far!!

**LOVE** this!!! I'm going to have to go in search of one of those notebooks:)
I sure WISH I could find your book somewhere...I LOVED your column in CK last year and the new one this year..and am DYING to get my hands on your book!!
O.k. I love your project/idea, but I'm a little confused. Does each slot represent a day, a week? Does each row represent a week? I think you were going to go by the week so you didn't have to keep up with 365 pictures, but I guess I'm a little confused about how you're using each slot. Thanks for sharing your ideas and creativity! BTW, I don't mind if you share your sources =)
