Journal Jar

My first lesson teaching the Beehives was on preserving memories - Personal Records. I saw a cute idea and poem and used more of those frappuccino bottles I got from a recycler:
I cut up 6 questions for each value color and printed it on the coordinating color paper. Here's the poem I used:
Preserve your memories -
seal them up well.
What you forget,
you can never retell.
But a journal that's kept
fresh on the shelf -
Might help someone
in need . . .
perhaps even yourself!

I also made a candy journal out of 2 chocolate nuggets:
It says on one side:
Pray and ponder each day asking yourself,
Did God send a message that was just for ME?
And on the opposing side:
Write it down!
It preserves that memory to remember how
much God loves us and how much we need him.

  1. Hey Cheri, I'm so glad you post this stuff. It inspires me to be crafty, even though I never end up doing anything. Way cute ideas.

  2. Your Beehives must love you! What an amazing teacher to put that much time into a lesson. I love the scripture candy idea! I might have to use that for our Primary. Thanks!
