Hello and welcome. I’m so excited to be joining Jennifer for the Share Handmade Kindness Challenge. I feel so blessed and honored to get to work with her on a weekly basis. Her talent is absolutely amazing…but her kindness? It makes my heart want to burst. She is always thinking of others and trying to brighten their day. I’m so proud of her and I appreciate her creating this challenge to add more kindness into this world. Kindness matters and she is a perfect example of that. Love you Jennifer!
So my favorite way to share kindness is to create Sunshine Boxes. I’ve put together a video sharing two boxes I made….
The first box is for a friend of mine who needed a little pick me up. I recycled a box from a recent My Favorite Things order because of the fun text on the packaging…
I used yellow duct tape to hide any text that I didn’t want to be seen and adhered a piece of patterned paper on top to write the recipient’s address on. When the box is opened, the recipient is greeted with THIS card…

Remember, there are no rules when creating Sunshine Boxes. You can go elaborate or really simple. It’s the thought that counts! I hope this inspires you to create a sunshine box. Remember to use #sharehandmadekindness when sharing on social media.

Wow! What a great idea – I love how you tied everything into the theme. These packages would definitely bring a whole lot of happiness to the recipient! I like bringing in fresh baked goodies and surplus veggies (when in season) to my colleagues at my office. They are all so appreciative of everything I bring in as we have a great little family at work. Thank you for your awesome generosity (and inspiration).

This is so cute! I like to spread kindness in small little ways that show someone that I've been paying attention and thinking about them– like remembering to ask how an event went, sending good morning texts, sending nice emails, or a surprise friendship card in the mail.

I spread sunshine by making cards. I do this with elderly people in nursing homes I have one in particular in the memory card area. It brings lots of smiles to there faces and this brightens my day very much. Thank you for the chance to win the sunshine box!!!!
