365 days Note Jar
I have been seeing some cute pictures of people making a 365-days note jar to their loved ones and I am in dire need of some really cute suggestions I can use or take note of while trying to make one for my girlfriend whom I also intend to marry. She currently lives miles away from me and since we don't get to see each other as often as we used to, I'd love to make/write her short notes to read with different colours for different purposes/occasion. I need some cool suggestions that would make her love and miss me daily as much as I love and miss her too.
Thanks in anticipation.

If you intend to marry her, there must be a lot you love about her that isn't just skin deep. If I asked you right now to tell me why you want to marry her...what makes her stand out from the other girls, it wouldn't be just one thing but a big mix of smaller things that all add up to make who she is so special to you. Whats hard is to dissect and isolate all those smaller but important things so you can write them down.
So take a day, starting from when she first wakes up and proceed from there.
Some people don't wake up looking too good in the morning, but if she does, compliment her on it.
"How can someone wake up looking so beautiful in the morning." or at the end of day when its time to sleep, "I love to watch you sleep. But I don't know why its called beauty sleep when you're already beautiful. In your case, the sleep must be called redundant sleep, meaning it's not needed for you to be beautiful." You may use that last one. An old boyfriend told me that one.
Does she have a favorite food, or favorite breakfast. If so, and you have come to love it too, or she's come around to love your favorite food then..."Every time I eat (describe food) I think of you since it is a favorite of yours and dream of the day we can sit across from each other sharing that meal."
Come up with your verses based on going thru a day is one technique. Also if she has any traditions you like for special days and Holidays. "It's getting closer to Thanksgiving and I am dreaming of that cranberry orange bread you make for the Holiday. In fact, as I focus on it, my tummy is already grumbling. I want that bread, but not as much as I want you." And lastly, focus on things you can say about the character traits of hers that you love. As you mention each, come up with a little to say about it so it isn't just a short sentence. "Patience could be your middle name because you are the most patient person I know. Heres hoping that when you're hanging out with me again that I don't somehow cause you to lose that."
As you are out and about during the day, when your mind isn't so focused on coming up with sayings, they will come easier to you. As they do, jot them down on your iphone or on a small pad of paper and you can fine tune the saying later. I have never tried 365 sayings and it would take even me, quite some time.
Since its not sending these notes via the internet but actual notes and a jar...think of some kind of jar big enough to hold them all but a jar meant for another use like a cookie jar she can use once all the notes have been read. Be creative. Store the note you want to wr ite on in a zip lock with some incense or cotton ball with a drop of essential oil on it. The paper will absorb the scent which will last a long time. So does she like certain scents, like Rose, Lavender, Lily of the Valley? The scent makes the note more special plus gives you an idea on what to say. "You are more beautiful than a garden full of (name flowers) or "I will never give you cut flowers that die, only live ones that we can plant together to commemorate our lasting love for each other."
If she has a favorite flower, press it to add with a note, do the same with a colorful autumn leaf. Use different colored gel pens. Try and find the ones with metallic or glitter as they stand out more for the writing. Buy a short piece of lace and glue it like a border around a note. Then you can say, "Instead of a note in lace, I dream every night of you in lace."
I hope this has given you enough ideas to get started. Good luck and happy marriage to you.
