Hey all! Tonight I was playing New Leaf, and as Mitzi had just asked me to go dig up a time capsule, I realized that what a neat treat it would be if I gave myself a bit of a time capsule, too! Imagine surprising yourself with a memory or something fun to find later. So, I want to start a bit of a tradition with a Time Capsule Challenge!
The rules are easy to follow, and you can do this however you?d like. There?s more than one way to recreate the memories.
There isn?t a ?right? or ?wrong? to the amount of time you give for a capsule, same as there isn?t a right or wrong way to even do this. If you've found you prefer another method, go for it! I set my time frame for 2 months for this first time capsule. Perhaps you?d rather wait a year? It?s up to you!
I hope you?ll join this challenge. It could be really fun.
The rules are easy to follow, and you can do this however you?d like. There?s more than one way to recreate the memories.
- Find an item that brings back memories or that you cherish a lot.
- Wrap the gift in wrapping paper.
- Go to a remote place in town - that also won?t be disrupted by possible villagers moving in (like the beach), or maybe even the island instead - and bury the wrapped gift.
- Write your future self a letter with either a kind message, an inspirational quote, or really whatever you?d like.
- Ask Pelly or Phyllis to set it for a specific date in the future.
- Add that date to your calendar app, daily planner or wherever you keep your future events visible.
- When it?s time to find your capsule and open your letter, post pictures about it here!
