Sunshine Handprints

When I was in college my roommate’s mother would send us a thought for the day almost every day! I love it and looked forward to whatever quote she had found. Each day when we were walking through the student union we would stop at the mailboxes and get very excited when we saw we had a thought of the day!

I loved getting a quote each day in college and wanted to carry along that fabulous tradition. I decided to make a Thought of the Day board that would display our quote for the day! And since I’m a little obsessed with Little Dude’s hands & feet! I thought I would incorporate them too! And we all need a little sunshine every day!
