    Such an adorable bandana! Love the baby doll and the little blanket you made. The dress is so pretty and the pocket is super cute! Love the bow headband and the necklace. Love the make a face sticker book and the cute washcloth! Love how you made these just by looking at your stash.

      Thanks SusannaMarie! I love those baby doll blankets too. I think that was my favorite item besides the doll itself! Yes, while organizing I end up packing more boxes and filler! Oh it never ends! 😂

    Sounds a lot like what I have been doing but in my closet.
    I love that you have a designated area for OCC things. Once I'm an empty nester, things will change. It all looks so organized though, even with a lot.
    I have so many Christmas boxes in the works right now! I ain't a Halloween girl at all lol so I love when November rolls around!
    The dolls and stuffies are just adorable, Denise. Love the sticker book so much along with Santa riding the unicorn.
    You amaze me with how much you are doing after just having a surgery.
    My favorites have to be the beautiful big bow headband, the elf finger puppet - I love the Rudolph cartoon, and that peace on earth tote bag- very unique. Great job making the washcloth.
    Love the bow in the second box as well as the finger puppet reindeer. 🎀
    The last one is equally cute...I love that her stuffy sings! Beautiful story book.
    Yay for Christmas!🎉 I am even more excited for Christmas now! Thanks for sharing, friend.🤍♥️☃️🌲

      I am soooo excited for Christmas this year and these boxes really got me in the mood! I must say I love the fall season too but I can’t wait to start hearing Christmas music again and watching the hallmark channel!🎄😂 As I mentioned, I’m really still struggling but packing brings me joy and allows me to forget about my worries. And the more I go through my stash to consolidate and donate, the more I find to pack more boxes! 😂Thank you for wstching and commenting. You are so sweet. 🥰

    I love your OCC stash! Thanks for showing us the background of your OCC magic! ☺️🩷 These boxes are beautiful ❤️ this is a great reminder of how much leverage we can get with year round after holiday shopping! Looking forward to this year's clearance sales 🎉🙏🎁 you're definitely getting me into the Christmas spirit 😊

      Thanks Kelly! Oh the background of my OCC magic is a bit messy… lol… but it works! Year round clearance shopping is definitely the way to go! Sometimes I’m too good at it🤣… thus all the stash! TFW! Happy Packing!

    Holy moly OCC stash🤣🤣! Idk how you keep it all together. I have one room of stash which has overwhelmed me on many occasions. You probably have enough stash for the next 5 years 🤣. Oh how I miss basements. Not to fill up with stuff but a nice area to be able to organize and just be away from the noise. Anyway,the boxes. Oh my goodness the dress is so beautiful. I love the way it looks on the table with the other goodies. Very festive and joyous! The baby doll is adorable. Of course I always admire your handmade items. Such a cute reindeer baby! The singing reindeer will surely be a hit! AMAZING! TFS!

      I love going into my basement and being left alone! It’s my happy place! My workshop for Jesus!😂 And yes, my stash is overflowing. Too much great clearance shopping that I can’t resist! 🤣

      I love adding a homemade touch when I can. It definitely makes the box a little more personal I think! TFW! 💕

    Wow, you haven't slowed down one bit Denise! Glad you are doing better and packing shoeboxes! I have a small room dedicated to OCC, I wish I have a full basement for my OCC stash! Love seeing your OCC stash space! Super cute Christmas themed shoeboxes, Denise! The baby doll is perfect. Love the sticker book and Story of Christmas. Beautiful dress from Bev! Oh, the tote is wonderful. The Night Before Christmas is one of my favorite Christmas book so I'm glad you included in this theme! My favorite is the washcloth you made - the fabric graphic is darling. The second shoebox- the deer baby doll is adorable. That Bev snowman dress is just amazing. Third shoebox - The Story of Christmas book is great. Thanks for sharing these fun shoeboxes, Denise!! I am too trying to pack from what I already have. 🎄🎄🎄

      Thanks Sharon! Well I may seem ti have not slowed down but I REALLY have!😂I can’t drive anywhere so what else do I have to do besides pack and do filler? And videos? 😂 I have my 6 week post op tomorrow so we shall see what they say. I’m still in pain. Uggggg. As for these sweet boxes, thank you! They came together so sweetly after rummaging and cleaning out my Christmas stash! Yes, I also need to use what I have! Thanks for watching Sharon! Thought of you guys last night when the Dodgers won!

    Those are so pretty and will be a big blessing for the little girls that will receive them! I have no basement and live in what is basically a one room cabin. We do have an upstairs but that is our bedroom. So I don’t have storage room. Wish I did. But I do get to purchase items throughout the year and store them at church for our church packing parties! ❤❤❤❤

    • @drogers
      @drogers  Місяць тому +1

      Oh how awesome though that you can store them at your church! I wish I could do that! This is the time of year when my home is exploding with boxes!😂Hubby keeps saying… ok when is National Collection Week? … then I start all over again!

  • @nodrogytsirk
    @nodrogytsirk Місяць тому +1

    Absolutely adorable! I love the Dollys! So sweet! Your basement stash inspires me to organize mine…mine is a mess and I often can’t find things I bought and end up buying over again!

    • @drogers
      @drogers  Місяць тому

      Oh trust me… that happens to me too! Especially with coloring books! I end up buying the same ones🤦🏻‍♀️. My basement is quite messy but it’s a work in progress! 😂

    These Christmas boxes are adorable. Love the dolls and blankets you made. I love packing baby dolls. I’m done with my boxes and my basement now needs some organizing.
    Thanks for continuing to share. I’m making notes for next years boxes❤

    • @drogers
      @drogers  Місяць тому

      Thanks Tammy! That’s what I’m doing too… reorganizing but then I end up packing more and finding more filler!😂 I also love packing baby dolls and I’ll be packing even more next year! I found a lot this year at pretty good prices that I couldn’t resist. Thanks for watching💕!

      @drogers  Місяць тому

      I’m still trying to get my space more organized! It’s a constant for me. And when I pack, I mess it up even more!😂 Thanks Darlene! I’ll keep sharing if I can!!!

    Absolutely adorable boxes!! I only have a stash in my closet. Not a huge one. I wish I had a room to keep a huge stash but I’m living in a one bedroom senior apartment now. I just adore the baby doll boxes you made! 3 little girls are going to be so blessed and happy to receive them!❤️

    • @drogers
      @drogers  Місяць тому

      Space is tight in my little house but I am blessed with a basement. Now I just need to downsize it a bit as I get older. I know what a one bedroom senior living apartment looks like as my mom lived in one for many years. Tight squeeze for shoebox stash for sure! Bless you for packing! 💕

    Those are sweet boxes. I love the CPK doll, so cute! I haven't seen any for a good price in a while now. We have the same kinds of shelves. I hope to reduce my stash to what will actually fit on them. 😂

    • @drogers
      @drogers  Місяць тому

      Oh I’m trying to reduce my stash too. Having surgery and staying home is actually helping me!😂 I can’t get out to buy more! Yeah, I love a good box with a doll, sweet dress, basic school supplies and a lot of love. 💕

    • @drogers
      @drogers  Місяць тому

      Yes, I traded Bev for them a few years ago. These were my last 3! Yeah, I need to downsize for sure😂😂😂

    I just picked up 2 really cute teddy bears and 2 coloring books was not sure if I had I enough stuff to fill any more boxes. I was able to get 2 more done. I did a grand total of 9. I am not sure of how I am going to send them (Cross Catholic Outreach or Operation Christmas Child or a combination of the 2).

    • @drogers
      @drogers  Місяць тому

      That’s awesome Brittany! I didn’t know Cross Catholic Outreach did shoeboxes! I’m Catholic so that’s interesting!

    Do boxes of filler items need to be taped shut or can the cardboard flaps be configured to stay closed?

    • @drogers
      @drogers  Місяць тому

      Just my opinion…. Based on experience. It is better to tape it shut but it will be accepted either way. Hope that helps. ☺️
