- documenting life
- recording things I want to remember
- keeping notes of moments that mean something to me
- not being completely intimidated by keeping a journal
And all my blog strolling paid off. Because a bunch of ideas I saw somewhere in blogdom slammed together in my head and became this one little thing, which I decided was safe to get excited about and have a late-craft-night hangover from.
It's my "one little thing" can. I saw the idea for re-using formula cans here, and the idea for writing little love notes for and about your children everywhere.
I want to fill this one with notes about my sweet Adi. She does things all the time that I adore. And I don't want to wind up ten years from now, looking back on this time in her life and remember there were so many "things" I loved about it, but not remember what they were.
Plus, Brent and I have this agreement that when I'm old and losing my mind, he'll come read my journals and little notes to me.
So now, instead of blocking out entire weekends of my life to record and catch up on every tiny detail, I can just write down one little thing, and plop it in the can.
Who said formula cans, scrapbook paper and modge podge couldn't save the world?

Holy Crafty McCrafterson!!! I wish I had that talent to do something cute like that or even think of an idea like that. That is a GREAT idea!!!
It's just darling! Great job. I love the monogram...it's perfect!
So cute. Definitely something I should try out.
I have a calendar just for Ro up on a wall and when he does something I want to remember I just jot it down on the calendar on that day. Nothing fancy but def not something that will take up space in my little house.
I like your idea. I feel like it could make great wall decor. All these different cans and decorated differently lined up high on a wall close to the ceiling, intermixed with books or something. Hmm, I like that!
