2016 in a Jar



Do you remember my 
Memory Jar?
It is quite full now and since 2016 has come to an end, 
it will find a special place on a pretty shelf, to be displayed for eternity. 

I emptied everything out and enjoyed looking at all our 2016 mementos.  

One thing I found that I enjoyed seeing again were the keys to our locks from Niagara Falls.
If you missed that entry, you can read about our "Love Locks" here.

I also enjoyed seeing this Scattergories Game sheet from August,
with Michaels handwriting.
If you have never played you must, it is such a fun game!!

 I am on the lookout for a new pretty jar for holding our 2017 memories!

    I think this memory in a jar is such a good idea.
    I'm sure you will find a suitable storage jar to hold your 2017 memories.

    Very cool! I am doing a Blessing jar for 2017.I have never done this before, but each day I try to write a blessing or special item on a colourful piece of paper, fold it up and drop it into the jar.

    I rarely keep things like that anymore. I usually end up tossing them out.

    I think this is such a wonderful idea, Debbie!
    And I love that you keep them on a shelf instead of putting them away somewhere.
    Thank you for sharing!
    xo.
