memories in a jar


A special gift from Carrie - her gifts are usually home-made, unique, and from the heart.

This gift consists of a journal and a jar containing 101 little handmade envelopes, each with a message inside, along with some candy! The first page of the journal says:

Recipe for my life history

Combine a generous slice of your life history, a dash of nostalgia, several cups of facts and feelings and 101 deliciously interesting questions. Draw one slip of paper. Take a few minutes to enjoy the memories. Paste or write the question at the top of a blank page. Fill in your answer. Don't worry about your handwriting or spelling - just tell your story. This product was prepared to preserve your life as a message. Enjoy the scrumptious, home-made memories that celebrate something very important - YOU!



An example of some of the messages:

~Describe a typical day during your Jr. High years
~Tell about a frustrating experience that you have had with a car
~Describe your last home as a young couple


Thanks Carrie for this neat gift. After quizzing her, she admitted she found it online here. This gift/project sounds kinda like a blog...
