memory jar

This is a memory jar. I'd never heard of it before this, but think it's a fabulous idea. a friend called and asked if i could make this for her. She lost her Dad last year and they wanted to fill the jar w/ memories and give it to their Mom for Christmas. with that in mind i wanted to make it very special, little details to make it pretty...

the spice  cake dsp worked well i thought for some nice earth tones that can hopefully be displayed in her home w/o sticking out like a sore thumb. i used lots of sticky strip and mini glue dots to make sure it was stuck together well
