Someday, the altered art you make today will be
old, faded, falling apart, and someone else will salvage the bits and use them
in new altered art.It's the best that any piece of art can hope for

Jar of Joy

I saw this idea and immediately thought what a lovely idea it was - basically throughout the year you pop in a short message with something that brought you joy that day - then on New's Year you open it and relive all those lovely memories - for instance yesterday I wrote about a fabulous walk we had with The Friday Friends and dogs which turned into a game of stuck in the mud.. literally! 
You can use any receptacle but of course I had to alter a jar!

A little bit of the Jar left unpainted so we can see it filling up!



And if you are wondering how muddy it was..





And here is some more pure joy, my daughter, son, and baby nephew



Precious times!
