    I love your lens. I've always believed keeping a journal is both self-healing and a great way to let future generations know about their ancestors.

    My husband and I have a memory jar. Every time something happens that we want to remember, we write it down and put it in a jar. Sometimes we go through them and remember things we forgot. It's real special to us.

    Better late than never.... finally compiled my SquidAngel Lens from my 'angel flight' last Fall. :-) So.... returning to tell you that this lens has now been 'featured on' and 'lensrolled to' "SquidAngel Blessings by an Elf".

    This is a charming lens -- both in terms of concept and execution. I love this idea. Could be adapted nicely to Valentine's day, I think. Thanks for the ideas and resources.

    A 'Journal Jar' -- what a wonderful idea! Very nicely done -- no wonder it was chosen for the "Best of CyberMonday" list. Congratulations.... and ~~SquidAngel Blessed~~

    You've done a wonderful job in putting together the lens on this topic. I'll need to add this to my Christmas Spirit Jar lens.
  • _Joan_ Nov 29, 2010 @ 6:34 pm | delete
    This would be a beautiful idea for my parents. My dad turned 70 this year, so it would be a great time to record some more of his memories.

    Congratulations for Journal Jar getting on the Best of Cyber Monday on Squidoo!
  • MySnellvilleBlog Nov 29, 2010 @ 2:30 pm | delete
    I organized making a memory jar for my parents one Christmas. I had all my brothers and sisters send me memories by email. We live all over the country, so it worked really well. I just printed them out in different fonts and put my siblings name on each one. My parents really enjoyed reading and re-reading the memories. Especially this year, it's a very meaningful and affordable gift...nearly free...and it's from the heart.

    I like this lens so much that I'm adding it to the lensroll on some of my holiday pages. Cheers! :-)

    What a great idea and it makes a perfect gift for my best friend & niece. Thank you so much for sharing and congratulations on your purple star.
  • Sojourn Nov 23, 2010 @ 10:43 pm | delete
    Oh, this would be a perfect gift for my niece, a budding and talented (so says her aunt!) writer. In fact, might be a great project for my boys to work on as a gift for their cousin - a family project to put us in the holiday spirit. Neat gift idea! (Congrats on the purple star, too! Almost forgot what led me here...!)
