One of my best buddies is suffering a hideous relapse of this season's nasty cold bug, and I was feeling a little helpless in how to help out, so I took a lil' break from painting and ran down to the grocery for some chicken noodle soup to hopefully assist in recovery. I had a lot of fun putting things together, and it really only took me all of ten minutes to create, print and assemble. And, it was basically a free-by project, since all I had to pick up was the deli-soup. Okay, I will admit that I got a teensy bit carried away in my packaging job, but...well, that's my style, you know?
...and anyway, sometimes a lil' TLC is just what the doctor ordered.

I'm sure your friend appreciated the gesture. Just the thought of youwanting to do something probably made your friend feel better.
Posted by: christine | January 28, 2011 at 03:55 PM
That is so sweet! Your friend is lucky to have you!
Posted by: Candice | January 28, 2011 at 04:04 PM
You're a good friend. Just the thought of a friend delivering soup like that sounds so wonderful. :-)
Posted by: Dixie Redmond | January 28, 2011 at 04:24 PM
So sweet. And what a great idea! Hope your friend is feeling better now. :)
Posted by: Ronda | January 28, 2011 at 06:21 PM
This was a great idea and I'm sure that your friend appreciated the effort and care that was all wrapped up like that.
I hear that those Emergen-C packets are really good.

~ I caught a horrid cold virus two weeks ago and came down with the nasty flu bug this past Monday.....your sweet, care package even made 'me' feel better Tracey! :o)
You are definitely a Cure For The Common Cold Tracey!
....and as proven by the nicest 'feel better soon' gesture---an amazing friend to your pal!
God Bless,
Barbra.

Ummmm......I'm feeling a little under the weather too. Do you send these down to California?
Just kidding - I'm feeling great - (hope that didn't jinx me) - but if I was sick I sure would feel really loved and a whole lot better.
You are one clever and thoughtful and sweet gal!
Posted by: Janelle | January 28, 2011 at 10:24 PM
That's such a cute idea!!!!
I'm so jealous.
I've been sick for 8 months and I didn't receive ANYTHING that cute!!
Posted by: Eates-a-Lot | January 29, 2011 at 04:16 AM
Good for you. Looks way cute. Bet this special delivery chased off the nasty cold bugs. You never cease to amaze me.

What a darling idea..and gesture...you are a great friend!
Posted by: judy | January 29, 2011 at 07:40 AM
As I type this, I have the cooties and think that this package on my doorstep would be lovely. You got it right all you need is chicken soup & water if you wanted to add more I would add teabags, tissues and cough drops.....yup that has been my life for a few days now. Very cute idea.
Posted by: Christa | January 29, 2011 at 07:46 AM
What a smart idea (which I'm going to steal)! You could have just put all the goodies in a paper sack and dropped it off. But, in true Tracey fashion, you showed your friend how special you think he/she is by going the "extra mile". Had to be a feel good moment for both of you.
Posted by: Barb in CA | January 29, 2011 at 03:57 PM
Well now I know who to call the next time I'm sick! I'm sure your friend appreciated not only the soup but the cute packaging.
Posted by: Miss Char | January 30, 2011 at 11:31 AM
I would love for someone to get "carried away" as you put it. It would make me feel very loved and comforted. Not only did you take the time to think of a friend, you made it so lovely.
Posted by: Carolyn Dietrich | January 30, 2011 at 09:31 PM
Amazing. Your friends must get sick on purpose just for some serious love-gifts like that. ;)
Posted by: Cara | January 31, 2011 at 05:03 AM
How sweet ~ sure the patient perked right up!
Posted by: Rebecca | January 31, 2011 at 05:49 AM
That is SO sweet. You are an amazing friend :) My friends would just run and hide from me and not come within several miles of my home ;)
Posted by: carrie | January 31, 2011 at 10:09 AM
You my friens have an amazing gift! You can make absolutely anything adorable!
Have a pretty day!
