A memory jar/box/book

This gift is a gift that keeps on giving. All you'll need is some paper, a pen and something to hold the sheets used.

Cut the paper into tiny strips, just enough to hold one to three sentences.  Use approximately 25-50 sheets.  On each sheet write down a memory with the person for whom your making the gift.  Fold the slips of paper in half and put them in a jar, box or glue them in a tiny book.  If you want to get real crafty you can glue them in a book you already own.  

You can title the book: The Things I Remember or You and Me or whatever other creative idea you'd like.

It makes a great gift and it's really fun to walk down memory lane yourself!

You can include a homemade card with a picture of you and the recipient and write about what that person means to you.
