I Llama Pack A Shoebox 🦙Girl 10-14 | My Last Shoebox Unboxing of 2024 | Operation Christmas Child

[@tammyjones3709]

So many cute llama items. I like the hat, shirt and slippers also. The young lady who gets this box will love everything in it. Thank you for sharing all year your box’s and dollar tree hauls. I’ve enjoyed it all. I am looking forward to volunteering at the Denver processing center. It will be a great ending to my year. ❤❤❤

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thank you, Tammy. Yes, I think she will love those items too. Have fun at the PC. I am also looking forward to volunteering at the Aurora PC. Val and I are volunteering together, 2 days 😁

What a sweet box to end with, Trish My favorites have to be how the hat and t-shirt match so perfectly. Her stuffy is adorable along with those slippers. I love how you add so many hot wheels into your girl's shoeboxes. I love that little journal book as well. You got so many adorable pencil pouches...love it! Even her hygiene kit goes with the theme. Such an adorable box!🦙💜🧢

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thanks, Diana. I think this has got to be one of my favorite boxes packed this year. Out of about 5 items in the box I couldn’t decide on a favorite. I would have loved to receive this one at that age. Thanks so much for watching. I really appreciate your kind comments and support 🥰

[@melpotvin8771]

These last boxes of the year are bittersweet. A year well done Trish. Another box full of items this young lady will love. The ball cap is so cute and matches her shirt perfectly, the bracelets and those sunglasses will be so loved. Fun toys and activities. I’m adding wall decor to my boxes next year. It’s such a great idea. I’ve got several to pack. You’ve given me lots of ideas and your DT shopping is always a highlight. I like to guess what’s in your hauls when you get home. When I’m right I say “knew it” lol. I’ll miss seeing your unboxings and reboxings but I know you’re packing now so it won’t be long. I’m having one of two surgeries coming up. I’ll be down for many months so I’ll be watching for your videos. Thank you Trish for a year of fun and inspiration.

[@byrdfeed9071]

Oh, thank you so much, Mel, for this lovely comment. You are so sweet. Sometimes I feel like I want to stop sharing my shoeboxes on YT as interest seems to have waned over the years. I often wonder, am I reaching any new or would be packers? Am I inspiring anyone? Then someone like you leaves a sweet and encouraging comment like this that rejuvenates me ☺️. Thank you 🥰

I just really love llama theme to shoe boxes! I always think they're so cute and this one was great! I have a llama stuffed animal I've been wanting to you so badly but just haven't had the right box to put it in yet. Maybe this is my sign to put it together! That sunglass case was just too good. How stinking cute! You found so many great llama items! The wall decor was such a great idea. I've never thought of something like that before. The slippers were also adorable. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful box I had the best time watching

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thank you, AnnaBeth, and thanks so much for the beautiful lid design ❤️! Yes, I love the sunglass case and wall decor, too, and Lola, the shirt, ball cap and slippers! I couldn’t decide on a favorite 😆. I hope you get that llama box packed 😉. Thanks for watching 🥰

Thank you. I appreciate that. I’m glad to hear you like to see the repacking at the end. I always try to include the repack at the end, but occasionally I have to scrap the footage because it just makes the video longer than I want 😉. TFW 🥰

Awesome llama box❤❤❤

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thanks, Susan 🥰

[@eastcoaststories]

I love llamas! Great theme! Love the llama coloring book, and notebook. Beautiful TY beanie baby. The sunglass case does matches perfectly to the stuffy. I remember that water bottle. I love that llama graphic matches the sunglasses llama on the notebook. Those bead bracelets are very pretty. The llama popper is awesome. Great top and slippers. The wall decor is super fun. The puzzle is perfect for this shoebox. Very colorful and fun shoebox! Congratulations on your last shoebox and another amazing packing season, Trish! I know the kids will be thrilled to receive your shoeboxes you packed. 🦙🦙🦙

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thanks, Sharon. It’s been a great year of packing and sharing, but I have to admit I’m looking forward to a little bit of a break , L O L.

[@livingstrategically]

Best themed shoebox that I have seen all year! 🥳

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thanks! I hope the young lady who receives it loves it, too. Thanks for your comment 🥰

[@janetdwiggins]

Llamas are my favorite, what a fun box!

[@byrdfeed9071]

Mine too! Thank you for watching 🥰

[@PamsPackingOCCshoeboxes]

I love the llama theme. The llama stuffy is very cute and that sunglasses case matches so well. I think the sunglasses will fit her just fine. Her shirt is very pretty and the hat matches so well. So many cute llama things. I think she will love everything. Llama theme are just so cheerful and sweet. TFS

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thanks so much, Pam. I think this one turned out really fun and colorful for an older girl. I would’ve loved receiving this box at that age. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment 🥰

[@Alicia100ish]

A great one to finish with! Absolutely love the colours in this one 😍 everything is just stunning, but I especially love the beanie baby & her outfit. The water bottle is pretty & those pencil cases catch the eye. The wall decor is so fun. You’re so good at decorating your boxes! Pretty pretty . Congrats on completing another season!

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thank you, Alicia. I’m looking forward to a little break from packing and sharing shoeboxes, but excited about volunteering at the processing center. Can’t wait! Thanks so much for watching 🥰

[@Alicia100ish]

@ have fun with that! I’d love to do that one day when my kids are older but the nearest one to us is quite far away

[@byrdfeed9071]

@Alicia100ish I get it. I didn’t volunteer for years because the closest processing center to me is 285 miles/4 hr 15 min drive. Two years ago I bit the bullet and volunteered for the first time. Now I’m hooked. The distance does limit the times and number of days I can volunteer, though, as I need to get a hotel room and stay over. The first year I didn’t stay over. I drove up, did my shift and drove home in one day. Ugh!! I’ll never do that again, L O L. Luckily Val, from V Swain’s Shoebox Sundays, and I live relatively close to one another, so this year we are riding together and made reservations in the same hotel. It makes the drive bearable and more fun. I’m sure you will get to do it someday 😀

[@Alicia100ish]

@@byrdfeed9071 what incredible dedication! Mines not that far away but the traffic is just horrendous here 😕 I really admire your efforts. & lovely that you have a friend you can go with ! I think I will take my kids when they’re older , that would be a dream come true for me 🥰

[@byrdfeed9071]

@Alicia100ish that would be awesome!

[@aprilsmith8014]

Love this! I am always anxious to send clothes and slippers because there can be a vast difference in sizes amount kids, especially in the 10 to 14 age range. You have given me some fun ideas!

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thanks, April. Yeah, I get it. I’ve become comfortable with sending a size that I feel will fit the oldest child in the age range I’m sending to. From experience with my grandsons, I know kids will wear clothing big. If it’s just way too big, at least I know they’ll eventually grow into it. Shoes are the hardest once you move beyond the 2-4 age group. There is such a vast difference in the sizes of feet from one child to the next even at the same age. It might make you more comfortable to know that the kids at these distribution events will often trade with each other shoes and items of clothing for a better fit.

[@jerriettaarcher7665]

Nice llama box❤

[@byrdfeed9071]

Thank you! Llama boxes are the best! 🦙

[@dianeferguson1074]

When did you stop sending reusable sanitary napkins? Those were probably the most important in the older girls boxes!!

[@byrdfeed9071]

Hi Diane. I stopped sending pads a couple of years ago. I found them to be expensive, took up a lot of space in the boxes and weren’t fun or exciting, a toy or a wow, and since they are not a suggested item on the OCC list of suggestions, I made the decision to stop sending them. Then when Franklin Graham made a push for us to send more toys and fun and try to avoid things that might be considered aid, I stopped feeling guilty about not sending them, lol. That’s just my personal thought process and feeling about sending pads. You should pack as you feel led. 🥰
