Lordy! Lordy! Look Who's 40! I have come to accept that I can not turn back the hands of time...as of January 17th I will be leaving my 30's behind!

This swap is for all those who are turning 40 Something. Or maybe you like the idea and know someone who's turning 40 Something and you'd like to give them the swap you receive from your partner.

Let's make 40 fun, confident, sexy, happy, sophisticated, powerful, anything but OLD! :)

Here are the particulars:

a. You may find a sample JOY BOX at

b. Box must be oval or round-at least 3" tall

c. Use partner profiles for decorating ideas

  1. A positive affirmation (typed on a small card)

  2. Something with a smiling face on it (ie. smile themed ATC or button fairy or smile stickers etc.)

  3. A handwritten note/letter on How To Be 40 and Love It! (Be fun, creative even wreckless for laughs!)

  4. A HANDMADE 40 SOMETHING mini journal

  5. Go For Hearts and add anything else that would make your partner RUN to open their JOY BOX whenever they need to be reminded that being 40 IS FUN, CONFIDENT, SEXY, HAPPY, SOPHISTICATED AND POWERFUL!

For clarity...the purpose of the JOY BOX is to have a place in which you can go to, to find solace in an otherwise, rough day. When you're depressed, upset, or just feeling blue, the contents in your JOY BOX should bring you JOY, make you smile or make you refocus on what's important to you...maintaining your best self.

AFTER receiving your JOY BOX, then you can further personalize it with other things that instantly bring you joy or make you remember a happier time, say for instance, a picture of your child making a silly face, or a picture of you and your best friend posing in a photo booth etc.

Again, the purpose of a JOY BOX is to bring you JOY when you open it.

(Just thought I'd clear that up. I had several private messages from people who had never heard of a JOY BOX.)

More questions? Just ask. I'm here for you!
