Freezing time. Capturing memories. Enjoying each moment before it passes too quickly. These are each goals that I work at daily. Even though you can't "technically" freeze time, pinterest has given me a good way to record valuable memories and reflect back on them a year later......I am calling it the memory jar....
....It's so simple, yet I've never thought of taking the time to do it. Find a jar, label it with the current year, then write memories down on a peice of paper and throw it in the jar. On New Years Eve, grab a glass of wine, sit by the fire, and read all of the memories you have made throughout the year! Some may think it's lame....but I am totally digging the idea!! I'm sure you will read through a ton of memories that you had forgotten about, and that makes it all worth while!!
This is my version of the memory jar.....I had to add a little color!!
What are you waiting for?? Go grab a mason jar and start recording your memories!!!
To see the parties I'm linking to go HERE!!
This is an awesome idea! What better way to spend New Year's Eve than revisiting some fun memories from the year.
