To make your own journal jar you will need:
An empty jar (Mine is an old quart size canning jar)
Scrapbook or colorful card stock paper
A fun ribbon or some baker's twine to tie around your jar
You can print out different journaling topics, cut them out with fun scrapbook scissors, and place them in your journal jar. Then once a week or day, pull one out an write about it.
If your giving this away as a gift, it would be fun to find a cute journal to give along with your journal jar.

I am not sure the author of the poem attached to my journal jar, but here it is.
"Preserve you memories..seal them up well. What you forget, you can never retell. But a journal that's kept fresh on the shelf, will help someone through tough times...maybe even yourself."
If you want a full list of the topics that are in my journal jar, send me and email at alilbird3 (at) gmail (dot) com and I would be happy to send it. It's a little lengthy for the blog. Also, if you have great journaling topics or ideas I would love to hear them, please share!
Fun! Also, www.ldsjournal.com helps a lot. It's easy to journal while already on the computer; plus typing is faster. AND it has something similar to a "journal jar" with categories.
