I have never been one for keeping a journal with all my heartfelt feelings in, but I love the idea of being able to look back and see what I did this time last year or the year before. So when I saw this project at Design Sponge I knew it was the perfect one for me.
There are some great instructions over on their website, so I am not going to reinvent the wheel, but I couldn’t find a cardboard berry holder (I guess as it is out of season), so I found a lovely pot one at Anthropology. Instead of postcards, I used some scrapbooking paper that I had on hand and I used old index cards, that we had at home too.
I love it. It sits by my computer in the study/craft room, which used to be Mini’s old bedroom (the smallest room in the house) and is just perfect. I am going to be keeping an eye out for boxes of the right size so I can make these as Christmas gifts for all my friends.
I am entering this in the #pinadicts linky over at Life as I know it
Great minds think alike Jen! I saw these on Pinterest the other day and decided to make them for my family for Christmas Gifts. Great call on using scrapbook paper.
I love this as a idea 🙂 and love your scrapbook paper looks very pretty 🙂
ooh what a fab idea! – might start this myself
This is such a great idea 🙂 And to give as gifts is fabulous! They will be so well received I’m sure!

Love these. Such a great idea and so simple to make. Might have to give it a go!
Hey would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using? I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S My apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!
