Putting a Time Capsule Together

1. Time Capsule I Purchased First thing you need to do is purchase a time capsule of sorts. This time capsule shown here is big enough to fill one or two years and it is a neutral color so any person can use it.
2. Items in My Time Capsule Here are some of the items I have bee adding to my time capsule since 2005. Yes, it is not much, but these are things I want to look back at in the future and smile or cry about.
3. My Local Newspaper on the Date my Twins were Born One of the items precious to me is my local newspaper with the date my twins were born and all the events that took place in that day that will be of interest, maybe, to my daughters when they get older.
4. Filled Up Time Capsule Finally, this is what your Time Capsule will look like filled to the top and ready to be set aside and fill up a new one for the coming year.
