I hope you all had a great day off or a great Monday at work if you didn't have the day off!
You may have seen the Good Things Jar pinned all over the place this winter. Like here, here, here and here.
The basic idea is to record all of the good things that happen on little notes and throw them in a jar. Then, on New Year's Eve, open up all of the notes and remember all of the good things that happen to you that year.
If there is something I love more than adorable jars, it is adorable little notes!
So, of course I had to make one.
And of course, all of my mason jars are at home in New York, waiting patiently to be used for our wedding decor.
Instead, I decided to use the vase in the middle of this display on my dining room table (you can kind of see it peeking out from behind the hurricane glasses here...)
I made up a little tag for the vase to match our dining room chairs (kind of).
Then, I cut up a bunch of scraps into (roughly) 2x3 inch squares. It didn't have to be perfect, just big enough to write on. Now we have no reason to record the good things that happen in 2013!
I can't wait to open up all of our notes and read them next New Year's Eve! I think it is going to be such a fun way to reflect back on our year!
Would you (or do you already!) have a good things jar for 2013?

I have seen it around and think it's a great idea!! One of these days I have to get around to doing it!! It will be great to open them all up at the end of the year (especially THIS year for you two!).

It is a great idea and I love the cute tag that you made for it. I feel like my plate is loaded for 2013, but maybe for 2014?!?!?
awww, I can see you and AJ writing notes about each other and sticking them in the jar too! How cute! ♥ waving hi from the chilly hills of North Carolina :)
I love this idea and love that you're doing it!! Super cute tag!!
I have seen these around. Actually my Ashley started one as well.
I know you didn't have trouble finding paper in your stash to match your furniture as you like to create with your apartment colours in mind ;)
Cute idea - love the tag!
