Y is for Yellow

I hope the saying is true..."Better late than never." I am very late writing the last few posts for the A to Z Challenge. I got caught up getting several giveaways ready to launch for May 1. But excuses, excuses. How about a nice, light, mood-boosting post for the letter Y? I love the color yellow because it instantly brightens my mood. Yellow reminds me of sunshine and summer and other happy things. Here are some pictures to prove my point:

Don't you just love yellow and blue together? I decorated most of my last house in variations of those two colors! 

  And you gotta admit that a big yellow smiley face is a happy thing!

Wouldn't you rather have this on your desk than the traditional black tape dispenser? So much cheerier!

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade, right? 

And nothing says happy summer days like homemade lemonade! 

And what better pick-me-up than a new pair of shoes?! Especially if it's springtime and the shoes are YELLOW! I found these super cute Jessica Simpson wedges at Belk.com (in case you are now considering a pair for yourself).

What else can you think of that is yellow and happy?
