Recently, I have seen a lot of people on Instagram, upload pictures of decorated jars with the title 'Good moments of 2014' written on them, which seem to be quite a hit with a lot of people. The idea of this special jar, is to fill it throughout the year with little things that make you happy and good things you have achieved or just general moments that make you laugh. At the end of the year; on December 31st, you empty the jar, in preparation to make a new jar full of new things for the upcoming year. It gives you a chance to reminisce over the events through the year that have meant something to you, making you realise the year probably wasn't as bad as you thought. So I decided to do one myself, I brought a jar from a local 'bits n bobs' shop (£1.29), but I know you can pretty much get them anywhere, and decorated it with Cath Kidston floral wrapping paper (John Lewis £2), covering all sides, bottom and the lid in a cute print. I made a small label with 'Good moments in 2014' on which I stuck to the front. I hope that by the end of the year the jar will be pretty full, and I will have a lot to look back on, and even if I am sad from time to time, I can take a few out of the jar to cheer myself up.
Here are a two of my favorites I have found on Google, to give you a little decorating inspiration.
