The summer holidays are something long to be desired during the cold winter days so why not ignite those bliss memories with this super easy memory jar!
All you need is a fancy glass jar. It could be any size or shape, just anything that you have to hand. I got mine from a friend. If you only have an empty marmalade jar then you could paint the lid or cover it in glitter if you wanted.
Then fill the jar half full with sand collected from the beach you visited in the summer or plan to visit this year.
Next, neatly arrange your beach-combed shells and pebbles in the sand.
Pop the lid back on (you could glue it on for maximum security if you wish) and Ta-da! You have a beautiful jar filled with memories you can now relive over and over. Place it somewhere sunny, like on a windowsill in your bathroom or kitchen so it can shine and be enjoyed!

Hey guys! Today, I am in a good mood. Its a beautiful spring day, I've gotten over my cold and I'm raring to go!!! I thought I'd tell you about my current project at college because I feel as though it is just about to start heating up as we design and make our final pieces.
The title of the project is New for Old and we have to base it around our specialist area. I choose jewellery seeing as I have been making it for a hobby for the last two years or so. The new for old aspect comes in when I plan to make the jewellery (I never know how to spell this!) out of household rubbish. 'Rubbish!' you say? Well yes, it might be, but you will be surprised at how intriguing this rubbish can be from a design viewpoint. It's a challenge and I'm really excited for how it will all turn out. I've got a few ideas on paper and I can't wait to start making and developing them.
I hope to chart my progress on here to show you what is possible when you don't have much (like me).
How are you feeling today and what's the weather like? I hope your soaking up some Vitamin D! It really does make you feel happy!
Ta-raa!
