This is a baby memories jar I made for a friend who is giving birth soon. I decorated an oatmeal container with paper from CTMH and cut the fish and seaweed from a cricut cartridge. The poem reads, " Baby books are great ideas,but sometimes you're too busy.Living with a little onecan put you in a tizzy.Milestones pass too fast at timesto find the proper page.So, jot a note of each eventwith date or baby's age(like "Took 3 steps on May the 1st"or "Teething -- 5 December")then drop it in this Memory Jar to help you to remember!"

I wrapped a pen and fake flower with floral tape and put some index cards in the container for my friend to start her memories. I saw this idea from my sister who gave it to my cousin and I thought it was a perfect sentimental gift.
