[@LauraSup]

Thank you Andrea for all the fun Advent box openings! You gave me so much to think about for next year!!! I’ve loved all of the fun! Merry Christmas to you and your family!❤🎄

[@ArkansasGals]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Merry Christmas!!

[@SaraMc-ez2mv]

Love the binding spool!

[@bonnielovett8204]

Merry Christmas, Andrea! It's so good to see your family enjoy the homey Christmas like we do. Our family usually leaves their gifts in the living room to enjoy for a few days later. Haha! I bought the 12 day Soft Squares advent but was more impressed with your Bella Rose one. Will have to get that one next year. Thank you for sharing your advents. Sure added some extra holiday fun! Hugs ❤

[@ArkansasGals]

So much fun to open it each day. Merry Christmas!

[@Lora_Olson]

Yay! What a wonderful year of advent unboxings! I love watching your videos! I looked forward to them everyday! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@ArkansasGals]

I'm so glad you enjoyed them! Merry Christmas!!!

[@pamelacolburn4601]

Merry Christmas! Jenny and Bella Rose were my favorites.

[@ArkansasGals]

Merry Christmas, Pam!!

[@scottydog6539]

Wow, all those Advent boxes add up to quite a high amount. Could have gotten an embroidery machine lol. Or a Brother Scan & Cut lol. I like things longer lasting.

[@hrachelp3316]

Merry Christmas Andrea! I am definitely getting the Missouri star advent next year. Kristen’s was hands down the best.

[@ArkansasGals]

Merry Christmas! It was fun!

[@tracydu-4430]

I loved Kristen’s the most! Bella rose is my second fav! NEW YORK FOR THE FREE ENTERTAINMENT 😂😂😂

[@ArkansasGals]

😆

[@wynothafortune5713]

I loved the Bella advent. Glad to hear you were not getting the Cotton Cuts one next year. I was disappointed in it due to one day being paper napkins and another day being pens and pencils,

[@carolharris5456]

Thank you for your Advent unboxing. That was a load of fun!! You made me smile every day. Some of them were super pricey for the items. I have lots of notions so probably wouldn't get those. I would say Kristen's Advent was my favorite!! Merry Christmas!!

[@ArkansasGals]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Merry Christmas!!!

[@terrimccluskey1979]

Merry Christmas Andrea!! Amazing and fun Advents. Thank you

[@ArkansasGals]

Merry Christmas!!

[@DebRead-h2z]

Looking forward to your individual unboxing, it’s been a fun December with you. Merry Christmas 😊

[@ArkansasGals]

Merry Christmas!!🎄

[@GlendaakaGranny]

Merry Christmas! 🎁🎄❤

[@buffielorah9946]

I loved the MSQC box. I did have the broken item which would have been nice but the rest was awesome. I loved Sandy's project based box and I love the triangle papers. I plan on buying thrm and making a quilt with my tula pink scraps. I got soft squares big box last year and loved it but wasn't as impressed this time for the cost. I think next year I will get the MSQC and Bella Rose boxes. I liked the sees candies box and the labels box too. Love the ramen bowl. I may need to get my son one. Merry Christmas to you all!

[@ArkansasGals]

Merry Christmas!!!!

[@donnawilliams7478]

I think for what was in the advent soft squares was worth it

[@ArkansasGals]

You’re right it was a really good value

[@dianeocumpaugh6719]

Thanks for doing all the different advents. I’ve gotten the MSQC box for the last 3 years, but I think next year I will try a different box.

[@ArkansasGals]

I know there are so many different ones to try, it’s hard to decide!

[@KKidWarn]

Hi Andrea! Kristen here. I'm so happy you enjoyed the Advent! Makes my heart smile! I haven't been able to watch every day so I have some catching up to do. Wishing you and your family all the best in the New Year! P.S. I have some ideas for next year!

[@ArkansasGals]

Now don’t go get me too excited girl!!! I’m already spoiled rotten 😂 thank you so so much. Honestly, the best advent I’ve ever had. Hands down

[@roserasmussen1574]

Going to miss your advents

[@ArkansasGals]

Me too. So much fun!!!!

[@GlendaakaGranny]

Yes I love the paper piecing paper!🎉❤

[@juliehassel8432]

Kristen's was the best!

[@Grandmaelaa]

Hi Number 13 Bella Rose I think is a binding spool. Its beautiful. I have enjoyed your unboxing videos. Merry Christmas.

[@ArkansasGals]

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year

[@rebeccamaccallum9239]

Wow I just ordered that triangle paper piecing pad, some cool designs u can make. Looking forward to a sew along of some blocks

[@ArkansasGals]

That would be fun!

[@Grandmaelaa]

My fav was Bella Rose, just beautiful

[@lynnlockardquilting]

Merry Christmas. Kristen's was the best everyday! I wonder if she would take pre orders for next year 😂 I'd love to get a advent from her 🥰🥰🥰

[@nancyguss6739]

I think Kristen's was the best

[@jeanettenava8762]

Merry Christmas, Andrea! I loved, loved Kristen’s - she’s the best. Next, the personalized clappers from Bella Rose! A recap of the advents and your rating will be good. If Kristen would do an advent - I would sign up immediately! Many blessing to you and your family in the coming year.

[@tracydu-4430]

Me to! I loved Kristen’s the most!

[@bettygilliam5546]

The ones that are phenomenal I would get again others I would find different ones to mix it up and to give others an opportunity to be showcased.

[@ArkansasGals]

Love that idea !! Agreed

[@joanlong3562]

Wishing you & your family a Very Merry Christmas! Much love from SE Kentucky 🎄

[@ArkansasGals]

Thank you so much, Joan. Merry Christmas to you as well.

[@doloresnash287]

Don't worry about the clutter it's Christmas!! Enjoyed this every day!!

[@ArkansasGals]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@pamhutchinson6120]

Cheese Brothers seemed like a great advent after Kristen’s! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@ArkansasGals]

It was! Thanks for watching, Merry Christmas to you too.

[@aimeek916]

Merry Christmas. Thank you for sharing your gift for unboxing

[@ArkansasGals]

Merry Christmas!! I had so much fun doing them too

[@cindy_lou_loves_to_stitch]

Always love your advent series! I didn't care too much for MSQ and won't get it again. I was excited to open it with you! Loved the Bella Rose! You are always so fun to watch!! And who cares about a Christmas mess! It's supposed to be a fun day! No cleaning allowed!! 😘💖🎅

[@ArkansasGals]

Thx so much Cindy!!

[@carmenlabarge8495]

What. Great day!!

[@donnawilliams7478]

Those blocks of cheese look like a pretty good size not just a bite or two.

[@donnawilliams7478]

I think Maggie is an octopus as are the aliens

[@scottydog6539]

Paper pieced “Thangles”

Loved the whole month, you made me smile everyday. I hope I get your embroidery giveaway .. I fell in love with them . See you for sewing and other unboxing love and hugs

[@ArkansasGals]

You’re the best! Merry Christmas!

[@klange1]

[@ArkansasGals]

Thx!!! Merry Christmas!!

[@DonnaHancock-v5x]

Merry Christmas Andrea

[@ArkansasGals]

Merry Christmas!!

[@janusaflorida7909]

Merry Christmas to you and family and thanks for doing this on Xmas....you really work so hard...I am glad to see you get so many really nice things in return. A recap of this years advent buys and price and review would be a good idea. I really enjoy watching the unboxings.

[@ArkansasGals]

Thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you too! 🎄

[@JoJoQuilter]

Don’t worry about the mess you’re right it’s Christmas time. I like it that presents are displayed in the background. I liked my B box, but I’m not sure if I would get it again from soft squares. I want to try different ones each year. I opened up a 12 day of Christmas fat quarter box from Etsy the name of the shop was Fieldstone fabrics .Mallory was the name of the curator. The fabric was a variety of fat quarters, and it was really something I can use for small projects .check them out if you want to .thank you for opening all these boxes .again I like my Aldi boxes and I probably would still get the cheese, especially because it’s good prize but I definitely like the Sam’s cheese. happy new year.

[@ArkansasGals]

Thanks for watching, and Happy New Year!

[@DonnaHancock-v5x]

Can’t wait to see the completed quilt.

[@saundrapennington2970]

Merry Christmas sweet friend.

[@امبنينللاعمالاليدوية]

سلام عليكم جميل جميل جميل جميل جميل جميل جميل جميل ❤❤❤

[@ArkansasGals]

Thank you so much, Sandy!! Merry Christmas to you too

[@person2463]

Stop making me eat cheese!!! My two favourites, that I am so glad I bought were missouri star and beĺla rose. They just make me so happy. Soft square don't deliver down under, but I did order a bolt of cloud from fqs. Merry Christmas to you n whole family. Biiiiig hugs, Chel 🌸

[@ArkansasGals]

Oh I’m so glad you liked them!! Merry Christmas!!!

[@Christa_33]

LOL..Didn't really notice the stuff behind you-- we all know its Christmas anyways!! I think my favorite advent was Kristens- she definitely catered to your likings..Next I would say Soft squares , followed by Missouri Star. Will be watching for the individual videos. Thanks for sharing!!

[@JoJoQuilter]

Merry Christmas to you and your family

[@ArkansasGals]

Merry Christmas!!!!

[@hangingoutwithkim]

"Hush yo mouth!" 😂😂😂

[@pamconry4909]

Have you got your Taste of Home Winter box yet?

[@ArkansasGals]

I have not!

[@hangingoutwithkim]

Yeah, the See's was a 24 day

[@ArkansasGals]

😢

[@tracydu-4430]

I wonder if Kristen owns a quilt shop?

[@adashave6127]

Jenny’s box 2025 goes on sale Dec. 27 for reservations

[@ArkansasGals]

Oh wow that’s early!!!

[@JennieHawk]

I thought the msqc advent had to much embrodery

[@SaraMc-ez2mv]

Hmmm my cart was plastic!

[@ArkansasGals]

It was?! I assumed mine was metal. I need to look again Ok double checked. Mine is metal. It says on box “three metal mesh trays”

[@marinaabad4995]

I'm sorry, but I think you were way off on the Missouri Star Advent, especially compared to Soft Squares or Bella Rose. MSQ had measly 2 charm packs & 1 MSQ brand door panel for fabric. Six patterns, no thread, no finishing fabric such as binding/background. The mug, little bowls, the gnome, the embroidery kit + frame, the portable cutting/pressing folder, the tin iron box, the MSQ ornaments, hand sewing box, were very good, but, come on, the cardboard stars/lights, the push button, the lego toy, the paper crafting kit w/embellishments, the felt eyeglass holder kit, the hexie clutch kit, the chenille pillow, the clapper/thread holder contraption,. No batteries included for the items that needed them. CompareΦ to Soft Squares A & B, about $480 combined, but pattern books, patterns, notions, the project box, the cart, the rotating cutting mat, the clock, the custom metal sewing room sign, large cuts of fabric, batting, thread, rotary cutter/blades, needles, notebooks, although more costly, a lot more value & quilty usefulness for a quilter, than MSQ. MSQ for me 2/5 & Soft Squares 4/5. I would not buy either one again. Soft Squares because with those items & what I have on hand, I need to use up what I have in the next year. But, if Fat Quarter Shop did a Lori Holt Advent box, with fabric, quilt seed patterns, stabilizer, threads, notebooks, needleminders, & other Lori Holt merchandise, I would be extremely tempted. The custom advent from your friend, was the best & a 5/5.

[@ArkansasGals]

Girl I would be allllll over a Lori advent 😂 Kristen’s was basically one for me though !!

[@scottydog6539]

That is a gorgeous Lori Holt layer cake.

[@juanitagreen5088]

Merry Christmas Andrea

[@ArkansasGals]

Merry Christmas!!
