Remembrance Jar

As I prepare to ring in the new year, I am faced with the sobering memory of last year's uncompleted resolutions. Ugh! Depressing. Then I remembered all of the amazing things I did do in the last year and it made me so excited for year ahead!  So I thought, why not create a jar to keep all of my wonderful memories, accomplishments, and happy moments to help reminisce and celebrate the end of 2015 instead of creating unrealistic resolutions that leave me feeling uninspired and unfulfilled?

This is the simplest little project and will only take 5-10 min to create but will deliver very special mementos for 2015.
Supplies:

• Vintage or repurposed Jar
• Pretty Paper
• Scissors
• Double Stick Sheets
• String

Simply print a special photo, quote, drawing or image on a 4x6 photo paper or print it up at you local photo printer. I love my canon printer for these small projects!  Think of vintage family photos or quotes like this one by Dr. Seuss.

I then simply used double sided tacky paper -- you can get it here -- to adhere your print to the jar. Just be sure to measure your paper to be sure it will fit your jar.

To add a little extra color to my jar I added vintage blue baker's twine I picked up from a local flea market. Feel free to use a vintage ribbon, hanky, or scarf. Whatever makes you happy!

And that's that! It is just as easy as I promised. I put my first memory in a bit early....

Here's to another new year! This time my resolution is to celebrate life's small accomplishments.

Until next time!

Salut!
