Altered Art Jar of Memories - Birthday

After my grandfather died, my sister thought of a creative gift to give her to help her remember the good times. We created a special jar filled with handwritten memories from all of the members of the family. It was a combined family effort to fill it with a memory for each day - 365 notes of love and encouragement!





My friend, PS, was trying to think of a special gift to give her father for his 70th birthday. When I suggested a "Jar of Memories" she loved the idea! She came over yesterday and we worked to create the special container. Even her nine year old daughter contributed to the special jar!





PS' dad loves golf, fishing, and a special color of "Caribbean Blue..." (Note the most popular color on the jar!) On the back will be all of the names of the members of the family...in the same "Caribbean Blue!" :-) PS was going to ModPodge those when she arrived home.





The jar was so large, it was hard to get a picture of the entire masterpiece. Cards of memories yet to be added, but it turned out pretty neat! I think he will be thrilled when he receives this on his special day!
