Memory Jar ~  By Dionna Sanchez

A memory jar is a great homemade gift to give a grandparent or loved one in your family.  It is just a jar or a box that you fill with memories of you and the individual you want to present it to.

You can write the memories down on slips of paper and make them look fancy any way you prefer - cut the hedges with scrap booking scissors, roll them up like little scrolls, or use calligraphy writing.

You'll be amazed at what a gift like this will mean to the person you give it to.  But it will also mean a great deal to you as you recall all the special moments you have shared together in your lifetime.  The memories don't have to be big things like huge family vacations etc, but can simply be things like how your grandparent always made you a special treat, or walk you shared together that meant a lot.

It's the small moments that often mean the most later on in life.  And this gift will show someone special to you - just how big they are in your life.
