Memory Jar

This afternoon I asked every one if they would participate in filling up this glass jar during the course of the year. It will be kept in the kitchen with pen and paper close to hand for the four of us, or anyone who visits, to jot down things that happen during the year which we would like to remember for a specific reason.
Then at the end of December we'll open it up and read them all.


S has put the first one in. I'm so curious to read what it is!

  6. Lisa, that's such a great idea! Wish I'd have thought of it when my three were younger. We have lots of great memories from holidays and such like but there are probably even more things we've forgotten. It's a brilliant way to have a review of the year too!

  8. Happy New Year Lisa to you all!

    What a fab idea, although I would be chomping at the bit to read what people have put in there! lol.

    It should be an interesting read at the end of the year.

  18. I've not only stolen that idea, I have sent it on to a few other people too (fully owning up that it wasn't my idea!)
    Looking forward to hearing what gets recorded in a year's time,

  20. Happy New Year to you and your family Lisa. Placing your memories of 2012 in a jar is a nice idea. I'm doing something along similar lines with things I want to achieve in 2012! x
