"PRESERVE"ing Memories **CCCB Dress Up A Jar**



Happy Tuesday ALL! I love Tuesday's because it means I get to share another City Crafter Challenge Blog challenge! This week Kirsty is hosting a VERY FUN challenge!
The challenge is to dress up a jar! We all love pretty jars don't we, and summer is around the corner, a lot of us probably give away homemade goodies in a jar, so why not make it yummier by storing them in a pretty dressed up jar, and of course, the possibility is endless, so get your stuff ready and go dress up a jar! I decided to make my jar a recipe for "preserve"ing memories.



It is filled with journaling prompts. It is a fun idea to do for yourself or give it to someone you want to know a little bit more about...a grandma or grandpa...mom or dad. As the questions in the jar are answered you have a bunch of preserved memories! ALL the ideas our DT and Guest Designer came up with for these dressed up jars are so FANTABULOUS! Get on over to City Crafter Challenge Blog and be inspired! I know you are going to bring plenty of inspiration of your own and can't wait to see your projects! Hope you are making memories of your own today! Hugs, Cheryl

  4. What a gorgeous jar, Cheryl! I love this idea and had totally forgotten about it. I made jars like these when I was the Activity Days Leader and the girls loved them. The next week we dressed up some composition notebooks to match their jars to use as journals. Such fun!
