Great idea to send matching blankets. The child will love it. Thanks for illustrating.

These are wonderful, Annette! 🩷 I love the matching blanket for the child, too 🥰 You ladies worked hard and what sweet blessings these blankets will be! My mom was the one who started cutting the fringe around the fleece blankets and it really does look so nice for a no-sew option! 😊🎁

that little thing with the wire or thread loop on it is called a threader, it helps a person thread their needle.

Great idea! Thanks for sharing.💝

Really cute idea, Annette!! Love how the babies will have matching blankets with the child. Any child that receives these blankets are surely going to enjoy them.

Thanks for sharing Annette! Blankets are so comforting to a child. 🥰

Great blanket ideas! ❤👏❤👏❤👏❤👏 I thank for doing blankets! My retired army son says blankets are a much needed item in other countries! Something we take for granted!

Love these - thanks for sharing your idea!

That's Great Annette!

Very nice Annette! Great idea ❤

Love this…thanx for sharing😎

Great idea❤

I bought 100 8x12 cello bags off Amazon for almost $15. They were 15 cents each. They last a few years. I put full size coloring books in and crayons, or pencil pouch and notebook. Or composition book and box of color pencils. They close flatter than the seal in the zip lock bags. Coloring books have been $1-$1.5 at dollar tree and during school supply crayons 25 cents. Or a spiral notebook for 35 cents and a pack of pens for $1. For under two dollars it’s something that slides easily into the back of the box and can be folded over, while still being a substantial thing for a child to pull out.

Great information and insight, thank you for sharing. ❤

You find the greatest things for your boxes! Plus great ideas about splitting packages up. And you’re fun to watch!

Wow! What a wonderful testimony!

It’s great you have a goal of 15 shoeboxes! The kids that receive them are going to be so happy. Thanks for sharing!🎁

Great boxes! Especially love seeing your son involved, my son was the reason I got started with OCC!

I love those dresses! You found some amazing deals! 🤩🎊🪇🩷

Great job adding more toys!!!🎉

The Nerf guns are great! The boys will love them. It's wonderful that Jacob wants to be involved in packing. My granddaughter likes to pack too. Thanks for sharing ☺️

Great video! Isn't it funny that even though you had the same items in each pile (except for the different Nerf guns), each box turned out to be a little different? I love that Jacob helped out. He is already an expert packer!

Wow these are great full ,fun boxes. I’m sure these boys will love them. Thanks for sharing ❤

Nice haul! Some great finds there! Again more ideas I hadn’t thought of….buying pet toys to go with the doll sets! What a great idea!

I love that you and Jacob work together in packing these boxes. They are all packed chock full of amazing items! TFS, Annette.

Great finds🎉 thanks for sharing

I love your older boy Nerf boxes! These will be such a hit 🩵🎊

Awesome boxes, full and fun items. Thanks Jacob for the marble tip. I also had no idea. This is my priority age group to pack for. They are going to love the nerf guns.

The boys will love those Nerf guns. Thanks to Jacob! Great job! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Those were great! Awesome job, Jacob!!! He did a great job fitting it all in and not leaving any empty spaces. So many fun toys packed... those boys are going to love them!

Great job packing those boxes! I am surprised nerf guns are allowed though. But glad you checked before sending them. Thank you for sharing this information.

Would you send Gabby's Doll House toys to 2-4 year old girls? I have several sets but not sure if they will work for that age group.

Thank you ❤ yes, the battery situation was scary!

Yes, such good deals! Thank you ❤

Thanks for showing your haul Annette. So much on clearance at Walmart right now! I've been trying to go everyday the last few days. You found great Paw Patrol items that I've never seen before. Life saving advise on those button batteries. Thanks so much Annette!

Nice find in the jungle paw patrols! Mine were $4! I agree about not sending button batteries to the little ones! WOW! So much great Paw Patrol stuff! Awesome! Those are my favorite scissors at DT! Great haul Annette!!! Great time to visit Walmart!

Nice haul, thanks for sharing❤

Very nice haul

What a great haul; I was just at Walmart and didn’t have any good deals on Paw Patrol except the stuffy on a keychain-I did get a couple of those. I love Paw Patrol for the 2-4 year old boys. The Gabby toys are very cute also. TFS

TFS, Annette! What a fantastic haul - great prices! WOW! Love all the Paw Patrol toys. Oh, that really makes me think twice about sending anything with extra batteries to the littles. I enjoyed watching.

Yes, it's good to get a head start! November will be here so quickly. Thanks for sharing the great boxes! Blessings...

I love doing 2-4 yr old boxes!! Yours are great, very colorful !! Giving me good ideas....😊😊

Awesome job! 👏🙂

Fun packing party and nice that you got extra hands to help you pack. I enjoyed how you showed each shoebox, had similar items but different in their own way. 15 boxes in one day. Nice!

Great family packing party. Your boxes are fun and full.

Nice work, Annette! These boxes are packed full of wonderful items and most importantly a lot of love and prayers. ❤ They will be a blessing to 15 special girls!

Thanks for showing this. Lots of great stuff! I like that you don’t worry about everything fitting as long as you get the essentials. I think I’d have been sad about it. Now I see it truly doesn’t matter just as long as it’s full and fun! ❤❤❤

Hi Annette, Karen, and Mom!! Awesome job, ladies!! Your boxes are packed full with lots of fun and exciting things for the girls!!

What a sweet packing crew you have Annette! Congratulations on 15 boxes very fully packed and prayed over. Beautiful.

Wow, this is amazing. You are stuffing those boxes full of love and goodies! It’s hard sometimes to get everything you want in the box but I think you have done amazing great job getting essentials and fun in them! TFS!
