Memory Jar

TADA! I give you my gift to Mik for our anniversary tomorrow...."the Memory Jar". To be honest I really didn't know what to get him. What kind of gift is considered a 1 yr anniversary gift for when you're going out with someone. Yes, this is the guy I'm going to someday marry, but for now he's just my boyfriend. And so, thanks to Brooke she sparked the idea of printing all our emails and create a book. This sounded awesome, but I was really short on time and I knew being the perfectionist that I am I wouldn't settle for 'alright'. Then I remembered Mikey (from "the mikey show") mentioned giving his wife a memory jar...yes the guys on the show made fun of him for it, but i'm a girl! i'm supposed to be corny! haha, so that was it, I knew I had a project.

Now I was on a mission. A mission to be crafty and buy everything I needed. So with just a jar and really good construction paper and some sticker type of letters...here's the finished product. I handwrote a lot of things we've written to each other via text, memories we've shared, songs we've sung to one another, pictures, things we've expressed to each other via email and moments we've lived.

I thought of making it black and white, but then I thought about not wanting it to look to 'fancy'...hence the color. I loved this project and I know mik will love it too. awwww. que cursi!
