BOX FULL OF SUNSHINE GIFT

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine....I got a love and I know that it's all mine, oh, oh oh oh....
Oh yes... I just totally put that song in your head!! GOOD!  I've been singing it for a few weeks now.  Join me!  What's the reason I started singing you ask?  Well, a wonderful friend of mine was desperately in need of some sunshine.   
It was a hard week for her and her family and we wanted to make them smile.  You can see more about her story by reading her bloggy diary HERE.
Enter the box of sunshine.  I have seen many on Pinterest, but they all seem to center around candy.  We are trying to keep it a bit healthier around here so I went on the hunt for a yellow basket of "healthier" items.  
Here are the items in the box (bought the box at the dollar store):Gevalia CoffeeYellow Veggie and dip containerLysol wipesLemon Lift teaMethod Mango Sunrise hand soapBurt's Bees Lip BalmGoldfish crackers4C Totally Light Half and Half Ice Tea packetsSunmaid Golden RaisinsPop-Its - fireworksSponge Bob PurellYellow Delicious ApplesYellow PeppersLemons
We also bought a marigold plant that I brightened up with a bit of yellow ribbon.  I made a small sign and added it to a skewer in the plant.  
What do you think?  Would that brighten up your day?!?! I know I felt very happy to deliver it!! I got a pocket full of... pocket full of sunshine.... ;)  Have a great weekend!!
