[@darlenerogers3218]

This is a great box. The young lady will be thrilled with it. Praying for you to have a safe surgery and speedy recovery. Will surely miss you and be rewatching your videos.❤

[@drogers]

Thank you Darlene! I will miss my KZbin family too! 🙏🏻💕

[@janewch7559]

Love your box as always, love your heart even more!! I had no idea you’ve been through all the pain and discomfort, for you always share positive, encouraging, inspirational videos with your lovely gentle sweet voice! Pray the surgery goes super smoothly, and full recovery for you, also the strength your family needs. 🙏❤️

[@drogers]

Thank you Jane for your beautiful words. They are encouraging and appreciated. 🙏🏻💕

[@sk8rmom222]

I LOVE both boxes. I just really enjoy and appreciate you! I will DEFINITELY be praying for a quick and successful and as painfree as possible surgery/recovery!!! Thanks, Denise!

[@drogers]

Thank you so much! You are so sweet. I’m a pretty strong girl but I’m still nervous. Let’s pray all goes well! 💕🙏🏻

[@lollyd1276]

Denise, first, prayers for a safe, successful surgery. I'll be thinking of you and lifting you up on the 17th and afterward during recovery as the Lord brings you to mind. Thanks for sharing your boxes and videos with this community. You and the other amazing KZbinrs for OCC are so appreciated. These two boxes are perfect and inspiring. I am quite sure there will be two very happy recipients.😊 God bless! May He watch over you and keep you in His care.❤

[@drogers]

Thank you Lolly for this sweet and encouraging comment! I’m so grateful for our community and appreciate the thoughts and prayers. 🙏🏻💕

[@beckyblackburn2211]

Thanks for sharing these two super full boxes before your surgery. I'll start praying now for your nerves to relax, for a safe surgery, for your doctor and team, and for your recovery. I'll be missing your videos, but we need you pain-free and all healed up first! Sending you ❤️ and 🫂 from Iowa.

[@drogers]

Thank you Becky! Yes, pray for my nerves to relax! As it gets closer I’m getting more and more anxiety! I hope all goes well and my healing brings me back soon!!! Thank you so much in Iowa!

[@dalehighnote6958]

Love the 2 Barbies in each box with the cute outfits. Nice extra pouch on the pencil bags. Best wishes on a Speedy recovery and so sad to hear of your surgery. May you feel God’s love during your ordeal.

[@drogers]

Thank you Marlene. I pray God looks over me and gets me back up again…so I can keep doing His work! 🤞🏻🙏🏻💕

[@christyrobertson5635]

Praying for a successful surgery for you, Denise, and that you heal quickly!

[@drogers]

Thanks Christy! Getting a little nervous now.😬

[@melpotvin8771]

Great boxes the girls will love Denise. Prayers Denise knowing God’s presence will be in that room guiding the surgeon’s hands. Don’t rush your recovery. One day at a time putting yourself first Denise. I get the impression that’s not easy for you but necessary. The amount of boxes you’ve completed is remarkable. The ability to complete so many shoebox gifts is a full time but lovable job. You’ll be back at it before you know it. ❤

[@drogers]

Awwww… thank you so much for these thoughtful words. Yes, you are right. I’m a go go go kinda gal and it will be hard to put me first. But I’ll try and pray for speedy healing with God’s help. I need to be back and packing for God’s children!

[@BLESSEDandOCCobsessed]

Both boxes are top notch, FULL, Fun and Personal. Praying for you friend!

Thank you!!!🙏🏻

You’ll be rolling around in no time my friend! Love that you included 2 Barbie’s. The dresses are beautiful. Squishmallows are so cute and they will love them. Prayers for a speedy recovery. I’ll reach out next week! TFS❤️

[@drogers]

Rolling around…😂😂😂… yeah that’s about it!

[@susannamarie1695]

I hope your surgery goes well and you rest well! These boxes are so nice! Love the squishmallow stuffies and the polly pockets, adorable!

Praying for a successful surgery and a speedy, complete recovery. You are my daily inspiration! Your shoeboxes are always so beautiful and thoughtfully prepared. I will be praying for you!

[@drogers]

Awww… thank you so much! Yes, I hope recovery goes smoothly. I’m praying so I can get back to what I love doing and sharing! 💕🙏🏻

[@maureenshoevlin8968]

I'll be praying for you and your medical team. I haven't had a hip replaced yet but family members have and I was a visiting nurse and saw my share of post-op patients. I can say that everyone said it was less painful than thy thought it would be after the surgical day.

[@drogers]

Thanks Maureen! I’ve heard it’s less painful than knee surgery but the thought of them replacing my hip gives me the heebee jeebeez. lol. I pray all goes well. Thanks for the encouragement! 🙏🏻🥰

[@mariacontreras4368]

Ánimo Denise, todo saldrá bien, pido por ti y por el equipo médico que va a operarte, que Dios guíe sus manos y estés de vuelta muy pronto. Te echaré de menos. El 17 te tendré especialmente presente y ofreceré el día por ti. 😘

Beautiful boxes❤ My favorite items in each box are the adorable Suishmellows! I like the idea of 2 Barbies in a box for the young lady to have an extra to play with a friend or sibling. I will be praying for you. I had a knee replacement years ago. I did not have a difficult recovery, but physical therapy is vital.😊

Hi Denise, These are gorgeous boxes for Miss 10-14. I didn't even notice the "no theme" . However, I did see two Denise boxes - Fun, full and personal. My thoughts and prayers for a safe surgery and recovery. I have had two significant hip injuries in recent years. OCC provided a focus to my rehabilitation. And, when I could not walk or shop, online shopping and box planning filled my idle hours. Please take care and be patient with your healing journey. ❤🤗❤

[@drogers]

Thank you for these encouraging words Fiona! I’m not the stay at home kinda gal but I will pray for success and healing. I even have a few occ projects set up already that I can do from my recliner!!! Always thinking OCC. Thanks again my friend! 🙏🏻💕

Oh no, Denise! Sorry to hear about the hip replacement surgery! I'm praying for you everything runs smoothly and that you will be packing and recording videos back in no time! And volunteering at the processing center with me! We'll miss you in the mean time. Ok now the shoebox. Love the Squishmellow and Barbie dolls. Of course, it's always nice to pack a menstrual kit. The flower lego kits goes well with the caterpillar stuffy. Very cool Fox scunchie. My favorite is the Polly Pocket. Great deal on the dress. So cool that you included a full set of earrings. The second shoebox is equally as fun. Thanks for sharing, Denise! Love you showed no themed shoeboxes. Prayers for a full recovery!!

[@drogers]

Thank you Sharon! Yes! I want to process with you! I need to recover quickly so I can go! May need to bring hubby this time! lol. It’s not as far this year from me so that’s awesome! Thanks for keeping up with my unboxings. You are a true occ supporter and friend. 🥰

Two beautiful boxes. They are full of fun. Love the Barbie’s,Squishmallows, Polly pockets, dresses and cute socks. Thank You for all that you share with us for OCC. I look forward to your videos and draw so much inspiration. I’m shopping to much but I will tell you I found 8ct pencils for .10 and crayola crayons for .10 also at one of our Walmarts. Several of our Walmarts said they donated the school supplies. Never really marked down very much of it. Glad to get what I did. I will be praying for you and your up coming surgery❤

[@drogers]

My Walmarts had no clearance. I only found one store and it was 50% off on only a few things. I shop too much period 😂😂😂but I find so many good deals that are hard to pass up! Thank you for your kind words and thoughts. 🙏🏻💕
