So I'm doing project 365(+1) for our little girl... For each week I make two pages, like the PL idea... Now I don't know what to do for last week, here's the deal...

Our week starts from Tuesday till Monday... from the 8 till the 12th it's all good. BUT on Sunday the 13th we had mothersday AND we went to the carnival for the first time AND we had fun blowing bubbles in the garden... I totally want to do a page for that day. BUT we also have monday left... I also want to do a special page there too, cause Lina had to go into minor surgery at the hospital and got ear-tubes. So that makes it 3 pages for 1 week... and if I do that, things will go crazy.

So I've got a couple of ideas and would love to know what you would do.
1. scrap 2 pages for the first 5 days (although the photos aren't that special) and do two more for sunday & monday
2. put the first 5 days on one page, then the mothersday on the 2nd. Then the 3rd the hospital thing and 4th the photos for next week (week 20)
3. OR put the first 5 days on the 1st, mothersday on the 2nd, hospital on the 3rd and a 4th about something else... maybe another one (like I did earlier) about how big she's gotten and maybe about how much she can talk already

....or do the 4th page about the potty training we started today!!! She pee'd in the potty before going to bed (been on the potty about 6 times today)...well half of it in the potty and the other half on the floor! LOL...

ANYWAYS....can you tell I'm totally lost here!?!
 
Plastic page protectors or digi pages? If it is plastic protectors, I would be tempted to do a couple of different sized ones, so that you can showcase your events together. Or like me, go the totally no stress way {Do what you want} and don't worry about if the photos or the days are in order or if you have 3 pages for one week. How many other times during the year are you going to have all those things occur again? Pull out some pictures (or put on your screen) and see what calls to you, what makes you smile... then use those!

I agree. I don't do p365 because I failed 2 years in a row. I just try to make sure I'm documenting something every month. :)
 
I would do as many pages as you want to cover all the big things that happened for you this week and then cover all the small stuff on two pages like you normally do. I've been know to make 3 pages for one day before. If you have a big momentous event or a bunch of big things, I think they deserve their own page. It's your album... you get to make the rules. :)
 
I'm doing digi, so I can just throw a page in there and not worry about it. I'm usually doing just one page per week too, so I don't have a week spread out.

Either way (digi or plastic page protectors), I would do the full week on 12x12 pages in a two page spread, and then do an 8 1/2 x 11 or even a 6x12 page that you'll put between those two...one page for your Sunday, and the Monday on the back side of the smaller page. That way you'll still see the full two page spread, but know there's a little something extra to see for the week.
 
Debra said it great. If I was doing mine paper wise I would do it like Debra mentioned above.

I do mine digital and make one page for the entire week. Then I do separate pages for certain events but I don't include them in the project 365 book. I put them in a separate book. Like mothers day would go in my personal book. If it's pertaining to one child then it goes in their book. Then I have a family album where it's like for all 3 kids. I have many albums going at once each year and then at the end of the year I have them printed.
 
I'm doing it the digi way... Well the first plan was to do each week on one page, but
I take waaaay too much photos... I'm not saying I use them all, but our girl is just too
cute!! Haha... You girls are all so right, but stil not 100% sure... Lol i guess I should just
start and see how things will go?! Oh and yes i also have a second book or normal
Pages and plan to print that in a few weeks! :)
