Very nicely 👌 packed boxes. My favorite item was the 🏡 home- made pillow case dress 👗 Super sweet and brightly colored. Thank you for Sharing.❤

Thank you. I’m enjoying making dresses.

Nice boxes you made. They are very frugal. it encourages people to make boxes in a budget. you don't need to have a theme or be all color coordinated to make a box. God bless.

Thank you! Yes, the color coordinated & themed boxes are cute but that could be overwhelming for someone creating boxes. I hope these are encouraging. 😀

Hi Michelle, These are some great OCC boxes. I love the variety of craft items that you packed. For Miss 5-9 (Box 1), I would add some plain paper to go with her paint set. In many of the receiving countries, paper is often a much needed and wanted item. Thank-you for sharing! 🎨 🧶🧵

Thanks, I will throw some paper in. Great suggestion.

I am always looking for craft ideas to make for my OCC boxes. I would love a video with your ideas!

Hello, Michelle! First time seeing your channel! Thanks for sharing your very generous OCC boxes. Girl and boy receiving will enjoy the many school supplies and goodies. Sewing kits are just too cute. What fun the jumbo glitter ball! Just subscribed. Looking forward to watching your other crafts! TFS! 🥰🥰🥰

Thank you Sonia! I appreciate it and will check out your channel.

You did such a great job on these shoeboxes! I absolutely love the book you made out of fleece for the sewing items. Do you need a sewing machine to make those fleece books?

[@StrawBearie]

Thanks! A sewing machine is easier but you could hand sew them together.

Great boxes. Love your dress you made. Did you include pencil sharpener for each box? 120 is size 6-7 so I think 130 is size 8-10.

[@StrawBearie]

Thank you and yes, I think a pencil sharpener is important.
