An Inspiration Capsule

As I'm browsing through the book "Caffeine for the Creative Mind" I came across an exercise called "What's a Dot-com?

Remember creating a time capsule box when you were a kid? Into the box went certain objects, articles, memorabilia- whatever happened to represent your life or current world events at that time. Then, the idea was to open the box or envelope at some pre-arranged time in the future so that you could hem, haw, ooh and aww about all that has passed.

I challenge you to create something similar~ an Inspiration Capsule! The intent is to keep this capsule for always and even show your kids some day what it was like to plan a wedding in "your day." And, to simply remember with fondness.

Think about it... the wedding planning time is an incredible time in your life. The highs, the lows, the anticipations, the expectations of someone about to be married to the love of their life! The Inspiration Capsule is the perfect venue for keeping those precious and "take for granted" moments alive!
