Box of sunshine

I may live in the sunny South now, where temperatures are expected to hit 88 this week (!), but I still vividly remember the cold and wind of March in New England. Inspired by one of my favorite bloggers, I sent a box of sunshine to five of my favorite Northern buds a few weeks back to help brighten their last few weeks of spring.

I spray painted simple kraft boxes bright yellow, then lined them with bright orange tissue paper.



Then I collected the brightest candy I could find, tucked in a few extras...



...and topped the box with a favorite Mark Twain quote.





All of the boxes have been received, so I thought I'd share here. How was March in your neck of the woods?
