- Create an inspirational calendar. Design a calendar starting with January 1, 2012. On each date write words of wisdom, love, and encouragement.
- Give someone you know the gift of good memories. Decorate a plain shoebox with buttons from an old shirt, ribbons, and glue. Fill it with photos, old movie tickets, baby clothes, or other items that hold good memories.
