Do you know someone who is feeling down? Feeling a bit low yourself?
I recommend you make a little box of sunshine 🙂
When my friend got cancer she very kindly agreed that I could be her ChemoAngel. It was such an honor to support her in this way.
For each chemo session I sent her a little parcel and a card to help her on her journey. Something different each time so she had something to look forward to. It was usually bright and cheerful things that would make her smile.
I kept searching around for ideas, and I was really excited when I read about a Little Box of Sunshine. I couldn’t wait to make her one!
A Little Box of Sunshine
The idea is to fill a box with bright yellow sunshine. So you always have some sunshine when you need it to brighten up your day.
I filled a little box with all the yellow things I could find.
Bright, sunshiney, fun yellow. It was eclectic. A piece of Lego, a feather, a magnet, bric-a-brac. And some yogurt covered gingers! It was fun searching for little yellow items that would fit – and the result was a bright and cheerful box of..well..sunshine!
Some beautiful free sunshine box printables added to the effect. Once it was done, off it went with the hope that it brightened up her day. It had certainly brightened up mine!
There are lots of ideas on pinterest if you want to try this yourself. It is a wonderful way to let someone know you are thinking of them. And really, you can never have too much yellow in your life, can you?
Want to make one?
- Find yourself a box. Not to big, not to small.
- Start looking for yellow items. Just little things work well. A crayon. A feather. A piece of fabric.
- Grab my free printables to add to your box. There is a link under the image.

I really enjoyed pulling the little box of sunshine together. Why not make one for yourself and take it with you wherever you go?
I wish that all your days be be filled with sunshine 🙂
