Create your own time capsule!

Whether you want to illustrate like Samantha or just write out some reflections to return to in a year’s time, choose some impactful memories from the past year and get them down on paper. Feel free to take your time with this, add thoughts or questions to yourself on the back of your art, and really create something that will help you remember where you are right now when you return to it.

When you’re done with your work, grab an envelope or create your own, pop your work into it, and seal it up! Remember to tuck it away somewhere safe, and consider putting a reminder on your calendar for when you’re supposed to open it so you don’t forget.
