[@NikiChicote]

thank you so much! it was such a rewarding experience. 💖💖💖

[@DandyLight]

What a blessed experience you had at your OCC Processing Center....and we, the viewers, were blessed also by watching this video....Thank You, Niki. Volunteering at a Processing Center is so very rewarding. As you were leaving, and packing your very own filler peg doll...I cried right along with you. That was so very special! God is so Good! "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Matthew 5:16. To God be ALL the Glory!

[@NikiChicote]

amen! indeed, to Him be all the glory! thank you so much my friend, you are so very kind to me. i feel you sharing my joy with your comments. it was such a beautiful experience! thanks again for watching and happy new year! 💖💖💖

[@MelissaBettschen]

Thank you so much for sharing!!! I was so thrilled to realize who was making this video! I saw your post about your beautiful peg dolls on the Facebook group… I even saved that photo of all your beautiful dolls lined up right on my computer for inspiration if I ever get the chance to try something like that. Thank you so much for all you do!!!! Blessings!!!!

[@NikiChicote]

wow! that's awesome! thank you for sharing that with me and thanks for watching! 💖💖💖

[@maureenshoevlin8968]

Your peg dolls and all of the other figures/buildings you paint are just beautiful. There are many very happy children out there because of your talent.

[@NikiChicote]

thank you so much, to God be all the glory! 💖💖💖

[@drogers]

Niki, what a beautiful video sharing your experience at the PC! And your words at the end about what you learned is so true. I wish everyone could work at a PC just once. You traveled so far to get there! I shall never complain again about an hour and 15 minute drive for me!😂 And how special that you were able to pack a beautiful peg girl of your own in a box! The next hands that touch her will be that of a child filled with joy! ❤Thanks again for sharing. You are one special lady!

[@NikiChicote]

thanks so much Denise, i hope the lil girl feels the same joy and love that i felt getting to make the heart peg and pack it myself... this was such a beautiful experience for me! thank you for watching and happy new year to you and your lovely family! 💖💖💖

[@fedwards2023]

Hi Niki, Thanks for sharing your PC experience. And for taking a flight to get there! My PC was only a 20-minute drive ... but I did this a few times a week during the Processing Season. My PC processed three Australian states' boxes ... so they came to me! (Not me to them). Your filler was beautiful, and what a joy to be able to add one of your organzer bags to a shoebox. Happy New Year to you, your friends and family.

[@NikiChicote]

that's awesome! yes, it was such a joy to be able to add in my lil filler, i was trying so hard not too cry! thank you for watching and happy new year to you and yours as well! 💖💖💖

[@judyfrazier2462]

Thanks for the grand tour Niki, I enjoyed it ! So neat that you got to pack your own filler !

[@NikiChicote]

i know! what a blessing! thanks Judy! 💖💖💖

[@tammyjones3709]

So happy you were able to put one of your peg dolls in a special box and send it on its way. I’m sure it will be well loved in its new home. Thank You for sharing your talent of painting them with us. I love seeing all the ones you come up with. I also volunteered in the Denver processing center, yours was set up just like ours. What a wonderful time, hope you enjoyed Yours too.❤

[@NikiChicote]

yes, it was a wonderful experience! thank you so much for coming along with me on this video! 💖💖💖

[@knitrxsews7040]

Fun seeing the processing center in Canada! Love your thoughts at the end so true!! God bless

[@NikiChicote]

thank you so much for watching! 💖💖💖

[@Lisa-eo9gd]

It is clear from your video that Canada is a gorgeous country and full of wonderful people! I wouldn't be surprised if tourism from the US increased after this video! God bless!

[@NikiChicote]

thank you so much! 💖💖💖

[@eastcoaststories]

Oh yay, congrats on your first volunteer shift at the OCC processing center. Once you start, you would want to volunteer every year! So nice of you to make more filler. Such pretty filler too. I cannot believe you took a flight to volunteer! You are committed! I'm glad you were able to volunteer with friends. Canada OCC processing set up looks very similar to OCC US. But I love how the tables are not packed with volunteers. At our processing center they tend to pack 12 plus volunteers are each table and it's way too much. I agree more fillers! Love the video, Niki! Thanks for sharing!

[@NikiChicote]

it was one of my goals this past year, i got my ticket for $50! lol! we were told that this year's set up was different from the year's past, its now modeled like the US. it was a great experience for me, learned a few things and got more inspired to do more fillers definitely! thanks Sharon! 💖💖💖

[@dianaruthshoeboxes]

Woo hoo! I can't remember if I commented on this video last year but I'm watching it again. Your fillers are amazing and how fun to see you so happy with others! So cool they have a gear store. I can't wait to hang my OCC ornament on my tree from you! So sweet you found one of you fillers... Love that. Thanks so much for showing us around, Niki! And thank you for the wonderful advice.

[@NikiChicote]

thanks so much Diana! they're opening a processing centre in Mississauga this year, my mom and i will volunteer. i'm excited! i might share it on here, maybe! thanks again for stopping by! 💖💖💖

[@dianaruthshoeboxes]

@@NikiChicote oh that's awesome. I might even be able to go to that one!

[@NikiChicote]

@@dianaruthshoeboxes i'm going to say hi if i see you! we'll be there 1st shift of 12 and 13! 💖💖💖

[@Kit.Nicole]

Thanks for sharing Niki! I was planning to go to the Calgary centre too, but I had to head to Toronto during that time instead 😆 Maybe I’ll meet up with you next year 😉

[@NikiChicote]
