Garden Journal Jar

 

Hope you like my Journal Jar.This one is for a Garden but there are lots of ideas for different jars depending on how you decorate them.

I made this one with the idea that you would give it as a present to perhaps someone who cherishes memories but is not into scrap booking.

They are inexpensive to make and would make a different kind of Christmas Present, perhaps with some seed packets inside for the keen gardener.

It was very easy to decorate the jar, I think making the suggestion list took the longest time. So I thought I might list my ideas here to give you some ideas. I printed mine out on the PC and then added them to the tag of course you could hand write the list.

• A photo of each season in your garden
• Record your happiest days relaxing or working in your garden
• A list of plants you grew that year
• Sounds in your garden
• The smells of your garden
• Write about your favourite plants
• Record the first and last day you cut the grass
• Get friends to record a visit to your garden
• Photos of you, your friends and family in the garden
• Visitors to your garden, birds, insects and animals.
• Plans for next year.

If you have a great number of photos perhaps a memory stick might be an easy way to add them to your jar.

Happy Crafting
