I am so on the fence....I keep going to the preorder page and looking (longingly) at the kit. I just need to go ahead and pull the trigger.
So are you doing it? Has Ali said exactly what week we're talking about?

I'm doing it - haven't missed a year since 2011! Ali hasn't set an official date yet - she says early May. If the week she picks doesn't work for you, you can always do another week. I did that last year - we were on vacation the week Ali did it & I wanted to document a normal week, so I did mine the week before.

I'm in. Maybe this will help motivate me to finish last year's album....

I'm doing it. I really like my book from last year so I have already placed my preorder.

I'm in! I got my kit and this will be my first time! But I'll be doing it in October. What can I expect? Does Ali offer support, like video walk throughout and ideas and prompts? Will that still be available in October? Exciting!!

Im in - really want the kit, but dragging my feet on it.
I plan to prep my album ahead of time, like I do for December Daily.

No, not really my thing. And my weeks are pretty repetitive. I'm just sticking with regular layouts and the occasional pocket page using Ali's Story kits for a thematic approach.

I pre-ordered the kit and will participate, but probably not the same week as her. I plan to document my daughter's last week of kindergarten.

I'm in. I think she mentioned may 9 as a possible start in a reply somewhere (maybe Facebook) I'm excited because we have a close friend's wedding that weekend. It would be so great to include that.

Will that still be available in October? Exciting!! For WITL, she does everything via her blog. There isn't a separate class for it (at least there hasn't been in the past - haven't heard if she'll do something this year). So when you do yours in October, you'll have to go back through her blog to get the related WITL posts.

I'm in! I preordered and can't wait. It's one of my favorite projects and I love looking through the finished project.

I preordered mine. I just finished taking her Project Life course and it has really motivated me to get back to scrapping. I've been kind of dragging along for awhile. Excited to do this.

I hadn't heard of this before. I just went onto Ali's blog and checked out her Week in the Life from last year. It does look pretty cool. I wouldn't mind giving it a go, but I am still doing P365 and 1SE so it almost seems like overkill.

I really TRIED one year: faithfully did the journaling every week, took SOME related photos...
But this isn't really my scrapping style. I can create 8 pages about 20 minutes of activity if the mood strikes me. I take a couple of hundred photos on weekends we are with the grandkids. But daily life is not something I document or photograph.

Yes, I'm doing it this year. My parents are coming to visit us in April. I will try to do it around then so I can include them in the album.
Last year I did it the week of Thanksgiving and the year before the week of Halloween (same as Ali that year) and I find I really like the mix of everyday and special occasion.

My plan is to let this WITL will help jumpstart my scrapping. Its also good to have a goal right now since things are a little challenging in my life overall.

I'm in, and pre-ordered the kit. Last year was my first year doing it, and I loved it. I think it is my favourite 'project' based scrapping. I've attempted December Daily twice and haven't completed it either times, but for some reason WITL I could manage more easily - even though it is way more intense documentation, just for a shorter time. We will be away on vacation for the first couple weeks of May, so I plan on doing mine the last week of April. I want to document a 'normal' week, plus that type of documentation during a vacation would be too much for me. I can't wait for this year!

I will most likely be at Dsiney during Ali's week - would it be crazy to do then? I figure I'm going to journal and do video download every night anyway.

I did this with Ali back in 2007 at CKU weekend so it makes me smile to see how her approach has evolved....

This will be my first year doing it and I'm very excited about it. I pre-ordered the Black Album kit and can't wait to get it.
I'm also doing Day in the Life for the first time as a way to kind of ease into the full week project.

I am! Last August was the first time I participated and I ended up with some amazing photos and stories that would have gone undocumented otherwise. Ali says she's looking at starting on May 9, but I will be doing the week before. I'm running a race on Mother's day that I would like to document, plus my anniversary is in there too.

I am in. I have never done it before, but I have been trying to scrapbook more and have found these types of kits really help me get more scrapbooking done.

I'm all in, although I do cheat. I use the kit to document a week's vacation. Work weeks are repetitive and limited (can't take photos at work, spend way too much time stuck in traffic, etc.) so I'm never enthused to see the WITL through. This way I at least have a finished album to show for it and can justify buying the whole kit. It's also easier to keep up with Ali & everyone since I already have a full week's worth of photos printed and ready to go when WITL starts.

Did you get your kit? I got mine on Friday. What did you think?
I like it, I'm just trying to figure out what how to put it together and what I'm going to use for background paper. I guess that's more of a habit than anything else.
I'm kicking myself because I thought I ordered the grey album but I actually ordered the plain black.

I'm kicking myself because I thought I ordered the grey album but I actually ordered the plain black. This is too funny! I did the exact same thing, but opposite. I could have sworn I ordered the black but got the grey! Oh well, I like it enough! Do you think SC is playing games with our minds now? Hahaha

I guess you could always check your original order to see what color you chose. I ordered the black and I'm hoping its in the mail today. I do have plans to take out those stinkin 2x2 square page protectors! I hate those things! I did order extra 3x8 ones those because I loved the look of them in my last witl album.
