A few weeks ago I was organizing some things when I came across this:
No, it is not a can of wheat, or potato pearls. It is a time capsule that I made at the age of 10. On time it said that I was suppose to open it on March 14th, 2011. I was shocked that the date was so close! How can time pass so quickly?
The week of the 14th I completely forgot that I was suppose to open it, so I opened it yesterday. This is what it looked like once it was open:
It contained three completely random pictures. This one is a picture of me with my best friend from childhood.
One pink and sparkly rock. Don't ask, because I have no explanation.
Three Werther's original candies. I wonder if I thought these would not exist in the world of 2011. The funny thing is that these are not my favorite candies, and I don't remember them ever being a favorite.
There was also a story that I had written as a 10 year old, a school valentine from the year 1996, and a letter.
Let me share part of the letter with you. It is quite comical.
Dear Katie,
I wrote this letter 15 years ago. I hope you are stronger now and don't think that middle school is scary! I love my teacher, and hope you're not afraid to grow up. I still think boys are yucky & think I'll never be married.
Love, yourself
HAHAHA!!! Oh, this made me laugh! I was quite the character as a 10 year old. I can't believe I am old enough to be opening a time capsule I made! How funny to step back in time for a moment.

How funny to see the things of value to you so long ago!
HA! That's so cool! What a funny thing to find. I especially liked the letter.
That was pretty funny. I especially love the pink rock. :)
I'm impressed that you found/opened it so close to the designated date 15 years later! So fun to see what you held so dear to you little 10 year old heart. :) I really want to see that picture of me that you put in there...
How funny! Wow - I'd never have thought to make a time capsule to myself - what a cute idea. And sparkly rock, huh.....interesting. :P
