    Is there any kind of journal ideas for a couple?
    My sister is getting married in march and I thought if there were an ideas like that which would be about them as a couple etc it could make a nice little gift

    If that makes an sense

    Could you ask the same question to both and give 2 books? So could ask: how did you meet, describe your first date, who proposed to who and what happened, describe your wedding day, what are your hopes and dreams for the future...? What do you think?

    thanks mary and rainmac for your kind comments.

    I have had no internet connection all week end and boy has it been hard
    :rotfl:
    mary I have done 52 journal questions so went for an A4 notebook. I suppose it depends how many questions you do and how much you think they will write!

    rainmac I got my jars from Julian Graves, they are plastic and 2 for £1.70.

    bunbun - thanks. Can't remember now how many questions I did............I had a tall narrow biscuit tin (all nicely decorated) so just went on till I filled it up................lol Knowing my friend she'll write a lot so have to venture to Tescos again for an A4 book -ooops.......another thing on my 'to do' list...........lol Now left with surplus book - maybe I'll keep it for myself to use as a diary next year to record various things that happen during the year.

    I have 2 pretty Mrs.Bridges sweets galss jars that I have just cleaned out and de-labled. I want to use them for my neices hampers (aged 9 and 11).

    Has anyone used cotton wool balls and body sparkle powder?? Was thinking of filling the jars with cotton wool balls and adding some sparkle powder (was stuff I got last year but haven't really used).

    Hampers are usually make up, body sprays, bath stuff, girly stuff.

    Or should I go for an adaption of the journal jars, by adding a journal to the hamper and filling the jar with sticky beads and what not?

    Hmmmm stuck....
