Just before New Years, I was having a look at something on facebook, and saw a post that caught my eye. I can't link to it now, but it was shared by one of the previous winners of Great British Bake Off - Joanne Wheatley (whose Cook Book is on my 'to buy' list.) The idea was that you have a jar, and throughout the year, you fill it with things you are thankful for. You can also add in things like cinema tickets, cards you've been given or other nice things you want to remember. It's kind of a scrapbook but in a jam jar basically. Handily enough, I had asked for some Kilner Jars for Christmas (seeing as though you cannot buy Mason jars in this country, these are our equivalent) so I decided to get my Cath Kidston labels out and make one of these jars for myself.
It is quite small for it's purpose, but if I outgrow it - I can find something else. With these ideas, I can never avoid the temptation to have a look back at what I've done so I'm sure I'll be opening that lid a few times throughout the year to have a sneak. I think it's such a lovely idea because it gives you something to look forward to when the end of the year comes around again, it's a nice thought that it could be full of exciting adventures i've been on, or thoughts about things I've learnt. This jar has also given me a reason to try out the stamps I bought ages ago which can be seen in my car boot sale post as I used them to make my note-paper look a bit prettier:

| I thought this one was REALLY cute! |
It's not too late to start your own thankful jar, perhaps at the end of this year I will share some of the things I have put in there with you. I already have 2 notes in there so that is a good start!
P.s. I just wanted to share with you, my favourite song of the moment:
Much Love xxx
