One More Quick Craft

A friend of mine posted this idea on Facebook and I loved it. How many moments over the last year have I forgotten? Too many. Here it is New Year's Eve and I struggle to remember what really happened this year. Here's my solution. A great moments jar. It will be placed on the bookshelf in our den and the lid will be open for all to participate. I love the idea of opening it next New Year's Eve and reading about all the little moments we so quickly forget.


There's still time! Find an old jar and make a label. This makes a cheap, fun, and meaningful hostess gift too. I made one for the friends we'll be celebrating with tonight.

Enjoy this night and I'll see you in 2013!

  6. I'm sicker than a dog with this flu bug but I was just thinking about heading out to Goodwill to see if there might be a fabulous jar for this project! After all, maybe a little junking will pick up my lack of energy! As always, you have tremendously creative ideas! Thanks for sharing!

  7. Great idea Jenny! Thanks for sharing it, and we had a family day to cherish and not ever forget yesterday. The first one for the jar, or the bowl or the envelope or whatever I use to collect the best moments of the year!
