2014 is the year to get happy, I've already started my year off right by attempting the
#100happydays challenge. Big things are going to be happening to me this year, I'm currently looking to secure my first full time job as a graduate, and once I do, my boyfriend and I are planning to move in together. Not to mention the fact that my graduation ceremony is this year, and I haven't even begun to mention all of the social gatherings I'm already mentally planning!
So, when I saw that the lovely Lauren at
OhHay! Blogs had made herself a memory jar, I knew I needed one too! What better way to document an important year by doing something so creative? Once the year is over I should hopefully have a full jar of memories, photographs and bric-a-brac I've picked up along the way. It's also making a gorgeous addition to my bedroom!
The jar was from TKMaxx in the kitchen section, and I've decorated it using a gift tag, that I've tied on with some string, and filled the bottom with heart confetti. Every time something happens that I want to remember, I'm going to jot it down on a post-it note and put it in the jar! I'm going to include photographs and ticket stubs etc too. Anything that evokes a memory is going in this jar! Which is a lot more of an organised system than my current one (namely, everything scattered around my room).
I'm hoping that by the end of the year, it'll be completely full, and ready to be re-filled in 2015. I posted this to Instagram yesterday as apart of the #100happydays challenge, and it got a lot of attention, so let me know if you're thinking of making your own!
