Week in the Life 2014: October: Friday

Week in the Life Friday!

Today was centered around Halloween! I made sure to put in more of my "normal" day as well but I did concentrate on Halloween quite a bit. I love Halloween!

Here's the sketch of what design I use for each day. I use many different sizes of page protectors so that I can have variety of different pictures sizes and it keeps it interesting.

Here we go!

First page is a big picture of me in my Halloween costume....can you guess what I am?

Bernadette from the Big Bang Theory. I know, wrong color hair but I thought I got most of everything else down.

I bought that skirt specifically for this costume and you know what? I actually wear ended up wearing it because I like it. I don't normally wear skirts so that was a lucky find for me.

My detailed account of the day by time.

Turn the page.

A picture of myself and some of my co-workers (including my brother Chris, he's Hoooowwward. LOL)

Note the big bang theory icon was copied from their site.

This Halloween card is actually an insert. I needed more space so I added a small 4x6 page protector. If you turn it over you'll get this gray card that I made in Photoshop.

I liked adding this card because I wanted to make sure I highlighted the picture of my Family on Halloween including who was wearing which costume. I thought it worked out nicely.

This is my family or at least part of it. Not everyone dressed up but quite a few of us did. Who's your favorite?

Michelle made her costume (she's in the Frozen costume)

Jack is a Ghostbuster. He borrowed Uncle Chris's goggles.

Kim is a housewife (Thomas isn't in the picture but he's the mailman. Get it. She's preggo with the mailman's kid. LOL)

Moving on are pictures from my house and Chris's house at Halloween.

Chris's House. ooooh aaahhhhh. He really gets into Halloween. He turns his yard into a graveyard complete with a smoke machine, blinking red eyes, moving dead bodies, zombies...it's pretty cool.

Here's my place. Not quite as cool. Not by a longshot but still fun.

I have man-eating pumpkins and scary jack-o-lanterns. I actually scared a little girl enough so that she wouldn't come up to the house for candy. She stayed on the road. It was hilarious.

Here's the entire page. I split it up with Chris's house on the top and mine on the bottom.

Turn the page for more Halloween fun.

The page on the left is a collage of the day. I had SO MANY pictures I knew I'd have to do a collage to get them all in.

I also added a 2-3x4 insert to get my usual high and low card and -basics for the day.

and that's it for Friday. It was a busy and exhausting day but so much fun. Glad I got to document it in this style. Usually I do a mini book for all of Halloween's activities.

I hope you enjoyed this post. If you'd like to see more posts on my Week in the Life spreads click here:

Hi Barbara,

I started with Studio Calico kit 6x8 page protectors (they have 4 holes punched) but when I ran out I used some old Simple Stories page protectors that I had purchased awhile back. They only have 2 holes so I had to line up the page protector with the binder and punch new holes.

I hope this answers your question.

Sorry--it was on the page entitled "Right Now" that you used an entire 6 x 8 paper protector. Thank you.

On the Highs & Lows page, where did you buy the 6" x 8" page protectors without any sections? I am looking for that size to store cards that I have finished? Thanks.
