I hope you enjoyed a very wonderful holiday season, and that it was for you~ like me~ an amazing way to end the passing year!! =) Here we are, in 2013, and two days into this new year... I don't know about you, but I am ready for it, and ready to make some amazing things~ and make some amazing things happen, too~ in this new year!!... Let's start with Wordless Wednesday, because it is also this week's Make Something item, as well!! Ready?... Here we go...
My Sister, Holly, and I started a new tradition this New Year's Eve: We made Great-Full Jars. =)
The idea is to start out with a jar- a mason jar, a small paint can with lid, or any nice glass vessel with a lid will do. Decorate it with anything that inspires you. In our case, we made this a group project during our NYE festivities... We used pretty scrapbooking paper, magazines and catalogs, and other fun things, and each created a jar that spoke to us, that we would want to look at each day, that would bring a smile~ and would also motivate and remind us of the first function of the Great-Full Jar. Every day (or every week, if once a day seems overwhelming), add a note in the jar. On that note, write one thing down for that day (or week) that was good, sweet, kept you sane, made you smile or laugh, made you feel good, or taught you something important. Gather up those memories into your designated jar throughout the year... The second function of the Jar comes on the next New Years', when you take out all the treasures you've tucked into the jar throughout the year, and read about and remember what a Great, Full Life you lived this year!! =)) ...It's also great to dip into, as well, when you might be experiencing some hard or challenging times, and need a little help remembering all the good stuff Life has brought your way. =)
I hope you and yours enjoy this project as much as I am enjoying it!! =)
Tomorrow, I will post a few new items in the AmrcnWldFlwr Designs Etsy shop, complete with a couple hints on upcoming items~ in preparation for upcoming events and holidays. And next week, I'll be back on schedule, with all kinds of new, fun, and creative things~ so please come back and check it out! =)
Until then... Keep adding memories to your Great-Full Jars! =)
May your imagination light your way,
~StacyLynn a.k.a. AllAmrcnWldFlwr [Flower]
