You've put in so many things that make this box beautiful, Denise. Really like the squishmallow, shirt, tanagram, and even the butterfly theme. So, agree also that it takes awhile to create for this age group because we are adding more than material goods into it. The butterfly has always been symbolic of transformation. Praying with you that this young lady is spiritually transformed by the love she receives from Jesus.😊🤗

Oh Cecilia, you said it beautifully. A transformation for this young lady! Yes! I hope she will open her heart to the Lord. You pack beautiful boxes for this age also. They do take time and thought, right? I know when I see yours, how much love you put into them. This one has my heart and I hope she can feel it! Thank you for watching and commenting Cecilia. I always appreciate you!

Ditto, it takes me days to pack a shoebox. I overthink, edit, or add. I want every shoebox to be unique and special for the child. Love the title. Those butterfly nail boards are so pretty. I need to pick those up. Love the purse! Perfect for a teenager - she can put a lot of items in it. Very cool you added Pixie fairies to the keychain pouch. Tanagrams are always fun. Very cool squishmallow! Oh I love that you tied the name/theme to the coloring book! My favorite is the Dollar Tree butterfly tin with all the small goodies in it. Beautiful skateboard stickers. Very nice you included those themed related bookmarks. I always loved the Dover sticker books - the stickers are so detailed. Fantastic shirt! Another favorite is the accessory organza bag with the beautiful bracelets and watch. Lots, and lots of beautiful little things! Thanks for sharing, Denise! 🦋🦋🦋

Hey Denise! I love butterfly boxes! They are one of my favorites for the older girls! I love her shirt, purse and all the butterflies 🦋! I have two butterfly 🦋 boxes planned for this year!(Maybe more because I have a lot of butterfly items!). I try to always include clothing items too! It’s so nice to hear that the kids love the clothes! Thanks so much for sharing a shoebox that has a lot of thought and love in it! You did a great job! 💜💜💜. BTW…Thanks so much for the info on the Target sale! I had to order the Barbies online because my store didn’t have them in stock! I always need enough items so I don’t have to pay shipping! (Well, I don’t necessarily NEED but I want the items for my shoeboxes!🤣🤣🤣) I went to the Target store and found a lot of boys underwear and socks for the low prices you told us about! I also found a JoJo beanie with a bow instead of a Pom Pom on top (for my JoJo box) on clearance for $2.00 and a 7 pack of JoJo bows for either $2.00 or $2.50! If you haven’t been to Walmart recently, all of their St. Patty’s Day accessories (bows, barrettes, scrunchies, light up necklaces and headbands)were .25 each! They are really cute! Thanks again for sharing all the Target sales! 💜💜💜

I think I overdid it but my boxes will have plenty of underwear for a long time!!! 🤣 The JOJO accessories sound adorable! I did a JoJo box last year and have enough left to do another one!

The picture, which was the inspiration for the title of this Vid, has similar flowers to a notebook that I picked up today. But, that is where our similarities end. I have watched this Vid. taking mental notes of how I can tweak my box. Perhaps I just need to add a metallic rainbow shoulder bag. 🤔TFS! 🦋 🌈
