If this is your first stop - you can head back to The Pink Elephant and see the Fabulous Prizes that are up for grabs today and get the official Blog Hop Order.  

So Here is My Project

 Ella The Pink Elephant - in 3D Plush Form

LORi included so many sweet details when she created her sketch of Ella - I wanted to try and make them come to life.

She had to have a Pretty Plaid Bow and Polka Dotted Ears.

I couldn't forget the other Bow that Ella wears....yep - that's an Elephant Bum.

My favorite part might be her puffy pot belly...

...or maybe it's her Eyes - or curly Trunk.

Today, she's just hanging around - enjoying her Big Birthday...

...and being loved on.

Up Next in the Blog Hop Order is LORi Boyd.  

Head on over and she what fun stuff she is up to today.

Box of Sunshine

We Live in Sunny California

My Nephew is away at school in Chilly Pennsylvania

I remember when I was in college how exciting it was to get something in the mail - especially a package.  I also remember never having anything fun to eat, how hard it was to get to the local store, and not having much money to spend on anything that wasn't a necessity.

So I decided it was a perfect opportunity to send my Nephew a

Once you start looking - it's amazing how many YELLOW snack food items you can find.

My Box contained the following:

Lays Classic Potato Chips

Velveeta Mac and Cheese Cups

Kraft Cheese in a Can

Wheat Thins Crackers

Slim Jims

Primgles Potato Chips

Mr. Goodbar Chocolate

Bumble Bee Tuna Snack

M n M Candies

Dried Pineapple Bits

Everything sweet, salty and completely bad for you that a College Student could ever want.  

There were so many great food choices.  

I was like a crazy woman wandering around the grocery store grabbing anything I could find that was yellow.  Once I realized I would have to SHIP the package....it helped me edit my selections.  
Nothing too heavy, or breakable, or easily smashed.

But if I were delivering this to a local friend....Ohhh the possibilities.  

I filled the shipping box with yellow paper shred and tied yellow bows around several of the boxes.

We wrote a personal message on the back of a Large Sun cut from cardstock and patterned paper.

A few more suns were made from circle and scallop paper punches.

  There was even room for a little light up stress ball animal.  

And then it was all shipped off for my nephew (and his room mates) to enjoy.

This would be a great pick me up for someone who is feeling under the weather and could easily be tailored to the Lucky recipients tastes.   

Who do you know that could use a little Box of Sunshine to brighten their day?
