We all have different plans for our weekend, different chores and different ideas of how we want to spend the time. How you spend your weekend now might be quite different than how you spent them last year, or many years ago, and probably will be quite different in years to come. Taking candid shots over the weekend can be fun. I carry a small mirrorless camera with me but also use my camera phone often too. All of the photos I took for my three sample pages were taken with my camera phone. Journaling isn’t required but sure makes the pages more interesting if you document how you spend your weekend. You might think that your weekend isn’t interesting enough to scrap about but, believe me, it is. What you do, where you go, how you spend your time, these change over time and it’s fun to look back on pages that document it.
This page is about food, how I discovered a new and simple recipe that I love. After spending most of Saturday preparing and cooking some freezer meals, I made this recipe I found on Pinterest. If I want to try a new recipe I usually wait until the weekend to try it out, when I have more time, as I work Monday-Friday. Food is a great topic for a page; you can scrap about what you ate, where you shopped, maybe a recipe you tried out. The possibilities are endless.
Maybe you might want to document not only your own weekend plans but the plans of your family and/or friends. This page documents how my husband likes to spend his weekend. He drives a lot during the week and on the weekend he is happy to sit back and relax. This page about what he likes to do on the weekend shows how different our weekends are. Mine are usually much busier and I get outdoors a lot more than he does. So this page reminds me of how different our plans can be.
You don’t have to scrap about how you spend your whole weekend; try scrapping a page about part of your day, maybe just the morning, like I did for this page. I scrapped about how I usually spend my Saturday and Sunday mornings. It is my favorite time of the weekend, as I get to relax, have some “me” time and know that I still have lots of time to get all the mundane chores and errands done before Monday, when my work week starts.
I hope that I have inspired you to scrap about your weekend. Head over to the challenge forum to check out this month’s challenges; one of them will be my challenge to scrap about your weekend. I hope you participate and have fun!
