I'm sure you'll have fun with it. They are so great for capturing a small snippet of a time and place--especially when kids are involved.

That's so cool -- do you really do a family time capsule every New Year's? What a wonderful tradition! I'm going to do my best to remember that, and start it up with my own family. I have always been enraptured by the idea of time capsules, since we made one with the Girl Scouts that's buried under a tree in my old town square. So amazing, these glimpses not only into the past, but into our past selves. For we do grow and change, and to have that first-hand account of what mattered to us in the past is a real treasure.

What a find! And what a wonderful way to remember your mother and be reminded of how much she loved you. So great. I can only imagine how interesting your time capsule will be!

Got it from my mother who saved countless mementos for us. She was obsessive about cutting out newspaper clippings and sending them to us. In fact, recently I came across one in an envelope with some old photos and letters. I was in awe that I found it. A New York Times clipping from February 17, 1964. Any idea what happened during that time? Well, it was three articles all about the very first Beatles' visit to America, summarizing their nine-day visit from different angles. They even interviewed a sociologist to determine what it meant to our culture that throngs of girls and boys were greeting the band wherever they went. It was fascinating to read, as back then, no one knew how big the Beatles would become. I immediately took it to get framed in museum quality glass in order to preserve it. Although, considering how old the clipping was (50 years old this coming February), it was in marvelous shape. Becky, I’m super nostalgic. Got it from my mother who saved countless mementos for us.

Even though the seasons never change drastically here, most of the significant changes in my life have always occurred during autumn. Your time capsule completely captures your spirit, which makes me smile--from the typewriter to the post-its. And of course, photos. :-) Autumn does always make me feel nostalgic, now that you mention it.

Glad to know I'm not alone in my sentimentality. I agree, organizing our 'time capsules' would make them even more enjoyable. I think the challenging part for creative types is to stopping long enough to do it, or making it a priority over creating something new. Tina, it’s always so great to hear from you.

Won't it be interesting to see how all this is viewed generations from now? Jessica, I agree a blog is kind of like a cyber-scrapbook/time capsule.

Great idea to record one sentence each day. With your little firecracker, I'm sure you'd create a treasure trove of doozies! Love her most recent one. The life of a mom--what an adventure!

Nice to reconnect! I have many friends like you who have have little sentimental attachment to objects. I wish you would all rub off on me! I go through waves in which I say, "Out with the old and in with the new" or just "Out with the old," but as you can see from this post, I lean toward the sentimental. Your time capsule sounds delightful on many, many levels! Thanks for sharing. Thanks, Lynne. Nice to reconnect! I have many friends like you who have have little sentimental attachment to objects.
