This year I wanted to create memory jars for 2 special people in my family, with the view to turning them into memory books for future generations on my family.
I started by digging out lots of painted backgrounds, scrapbook papers and digi backgrounds. I then printed out 125 questions and cut them all into strips. Each was rolled or folded, and some were tied with bakers twine.
Don't they look pretty..
I filled 2 large coffee jars with the mini scrolls
Now to decorate the jars using digi background papers and ribbons and twine. The lids have a paperclay embellshment on top. I didn't make them Christmassy looking, as these will be used through the year.
To go with the jars I bought 2 really nice journals with lined pages.
and a scroll of instructions and a glue stick for sticking the questions into the journals..
All done, hope they have fun reminiscing and answering the questions.
