Forever Memories

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.
