On this #SundayFunday why not make a time capsule?
Everyone in the family can make their own - something simple like this one: -------------------------------------------------------------->
Or you could do one large family one. Here's just one, of many, posts that give some guidance about how to make a family time capsule. If you Google time capsules you will get an endless amount of posts that give advice, questionnaires you can have family members fill out and include, etc.
What a fun project this could be! And it doesn't have to be just family themed. It could be a special group of friends, or a class of students, or whatever you come up with. But no matter how you make the time capsule make sure you preserve it. Here's some tips to keep in mind:
Preserving your artifacts is a fun way to celebrate your family now and later—just don’t bury the collection. “When it’s unearthed, if ever, it’s usually a soggy mess,” says Paul Stephen Hudson, a cofounder of the Atlanta-based International Time Capsule Society. Pile everything into an archival box, then stow it away in a cool, dark place. Include the big stuff (artwork, school reports, notes to your future selves) and the little (movie stubs, a printout of a Facebook page, a toy with its batteries removed so they don’t corrode). Items that won’t stand the test of time: delicate clothing, food, or tapes and discs that will be outdated by technology. Add a silica-gel pack (which comes with new shoes) to absorb moisture, and set a date for the big reveal in 25 years. (source)
