Do you mind giving me your name so I can follow you? I love getting ideas from moms! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-capsules#post-95528 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:55:59 +0000 sulli301 95528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Haha that's funny they never uncovered it...you could always dig up the playground at night ;) haha</p> <p>thanks! pinterest inspired of course ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-capsules#post-95520 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:54:02 +0000 Alivoo01 95520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did a time capsule when I was in 5th grade, and it was buried on the school playground somewhere. I don't recall when they were planning on recovering it though. </p> <p>Your time capsule is such a great idea though!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-capsules#post-95518 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:52:54 +0000 sulli301 95518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I saw something similar I think! I love that idea! I saw one that had a kid stand next to a chalkboard &amp; they would have it all filled out like favorite color, food, dream job, etc</p> <p>@bluestriped bee: Aww! Do you remember what you put in there? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-capsules#post-95515 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:49:30 +0000 BSB 95515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We made one in elementary school and I might have made one among my siblings. I don't even know where we buried it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-capsules#post-95514 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:49:27 +0000 heffalump 95514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sulli301: That would be a cute idea though, to ask when they're younger. I saw something on pinterest about how you can ask a certain set of questions to your LO every year and give it to your hubby for fathers day. It would be cute to see how they change every year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-capsules#post-95512 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:48:17 +0000 sulli301 95512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Oh!! I am sorry I read that wrong. And yes that is pretty close!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-capsules#post-95508 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:45:06 +0000 heffalump 95508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sulli301: We didn't write the letters at 5, it was for the teacher to send to us 5 years from then. So it was "where will you be 5 years after you graduate high school." I wanted to be a music therapist then, but ended up getting my masters in art therapy. Close enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-capsules#post-95502 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:39:18 +0000 sulli301 95502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: That's awesome! I am pretty sure @ 5 I wanted to be an artist &amp; while I'm pretty crafty, I can't even draw stick people ;P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-capsules#post-95500 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:38:14 +0000 heffalump 95500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Such a fun idea! My parents didn't do that for us, but we did have to write a letter to ourselves 5 and 15 years later in high school for one of my teachers. We had to write where we thought we'd be in those years. My 5 year was pretty spot on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/time-capsules#post-95497 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 15:36:33 +0000 sulli301 95497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did your parents make you a time capsule? Did you make one as a child or maybe in high school?</p> <p>DH &amp; I have decided to make DD two time capsules, one for her 10th birthday &amp; one for her 18th birthday. We'd like things that are current now so that she can look back &amp; see how things have changed, &amp; some things about us now &amp; her now too of course. </p> <p>10th Birthday ideas we have so far:</p> <p>*Picture of mom &amp; dad @ age 10<br /> *Birthday Card for a 10 year old<br /> *Popular toy right now for a 10 year old (one of those hampster things maybe?!)<br /> &amp; that's it! Any ideas for 10 year olds? I figure it will be much easier to impress a 10 year old &amp; we plan to keep the 10 year old capsule pretty basic.</p> <p>18th Birthday ideas we have so far:</p> <p>*Silly bandz<br /> *Justin Bieber stickers<br /> *Angry Birds cardgame<br /> *Sports schedules &amp; a shirt from our teams bowl championship<br /> *Manchester United Rooney shirt since DH loves him<br /> *2011 Holiday Barbie<br /> *Time Magazine Annual 2011 Book<br /> *World Records Book<br /> *U.S Weekly or People to see the celebrity gossip<br /> *Newspaper<br /> *Vogue or Glamour to see the fashion of 2011/2012<br /> *Sticker from my sorority<br /> *DHs gym cards he fills out<br /> *One of her baby outfits<br /> *A mix cd or if we can find our spare an iPod with music on it &amp; a charger<br /> *Pictures of us all now<br /> *Letter from us, grandparents &amp; great grandparents<br /> *Type up list of population size, natural disasters, diseases, pop culture, etc<br /> *18th birthday card<br /> *A cute shirt that's trendy now<br /> PHEW! Okay so that sounds like a ton but anything big I am forgetting?<br /> I want the 18th birthday one to be amazing! We are not going to dig a hole or have it outside, it'll be in a plastic tote with duct tape around the edges most likely.<br /> TIA! </p>
