The Wishing Wall from Uncommon Goods

I am inspired by this Wishing Wall from Uncommon Goods. It would be great as a wedding, baby, or graduation present (as the site suggests), but I like the idea of having it be a part of everyday life.
You could write yourself motivational notes that you open daily to help you stay on a diet, or you could jot down a mini diary entry every night and reread them all on New Year’s. Or what if you listed your frustrations on a sheet each day to help let them go?
If cardboard and bright colors aren’t your thing, you could cut vellum into strips and place the notes (either folded or rolled) in an apothecary jar for a more sophisticated take on the concept.
