I read about these two ideas somewhere and really loved them. What a great way it would be to start the New Year.So thought of sharing it on my blog.
On New Year’s Eve, you can fill in a jar with 10 goals-good things you want to have happen. In a year from now, you can empty it and see what was achieved!
Since the jars would be kept for a whole year I came up with the idea...why not decorate them up in a creative way!
Materials I used are:
Any Empty glass bottles you can recycle.
Scrapbook Paper.
Ribbons.
Permanent glue.
Acrylic paints
Scissors.
Coloured papers for notes.
Loom bands to keep notes in place.
I just cut out various scrapbook papers and wrapped them around the jars with permanent glue. Used some ribbons here and there. Thought of using Acrylic paint to paint the covers but got lazy and decided it still looked fine without it :)

These are my kids Diya and Hiya's goals for 2016 :) As for me like my daughter Diya I would like to travel to a place I have never been before, stay positive and let me decide the other eight while you share with me what goals have you set for 2016.
Come this January and won’t it be great to start off with another empty jar and fill it with notes about good things that happen to you throughout the year? I can just imagine when I open and empty it Next New Year’s Eve, how I would smile reading what awesome stuff happened and feel happy :)
Wish you all a very Happy and Blessed 2016 !!

Sounds like a lovely idea! I am not into New year's resolutions... Wishing you a beautiful 2016 and may some of your dreams come true!
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea Shantana! I am gonna try it and engage my little ones too. Wish you a very Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautifully done! Love the thought and the smiles (when I check them out next year).
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
What a fun idea! Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!!! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteA nice idea :)
ReplyDeleteThink my goals are to tidy up a bit all over the house, fulfill some projects and create an overview of all the plants in the garden ...
That's a fun idea. I though of doing something similar with things I want our family to do this year.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! We have a "Good Things" box, but I love the idea of putting together a jar of our goals for the year. Thanks for the idea! Thanks for joining us for Photo Friday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea for the start of new year, and the end of it, too. Definitely beats new year resolutions.
ReplyDeleteThis is an inspiring idea. Colourful and appealing too.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for a creative and happy 2016!
ReplyDeleteOh wow..this is a great idea...love it... Happy New Year to you .... Michelle
ReplyDeleteLove those colourful bottles of fun ideas. Being creative releases feel good endorphins!
ReplyDeleteAbsolute beautiful idea my dear friend, i think i will try it, i will not make the box and stuff, i will write on a piece of paper and keep it away :-)
ReplyDeleteThose are great ideas. I'm not so sure how I would follow up on them, but good luck and happy new year!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of a story I heard years ago. A very poor farming family going through rough times in which mom covered a shoebox with paper and made a slot in it. Whenever something special or happy happened, a family member would write it down on a slip of paper and pop it in the box. On Thanksgiving, they opened the box and read through the events for "dessert".
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2016/01/nosey-cat-yep.html. I hope your jar overflows in 2016!
Nice recycling !
ReplyDeletepowerful.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute, and I love that your kids are getting involved with their own New Years goals! What a great tradition!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking in with "Through my Lens"

These are really cute! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI saw this same idea last week somewhere! I love it! Thanks for the reminder. I am gonna decorate my giant jar today! Aloha
ReplyDeleteI save small jars and reuse them for lots of things. You just never know when a glass or plastic container might come in handy. Yours turned out cute. - Margy
ReplyDeleteThey are great ideas! My Mom did a similar post but didn't show her jars...perhaps I should hold her feet to the fire. :-)
ReplyDeleteSweet idea!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing at AMAZE ME MONDAY!
Blessings,
Cindy
