[@NikiChicote]

what a cute box! thank you for the shout out. i love your peg dolls, i think i'll borrow your idea and buy a few of the fire station and construction set from dollar tree and add pegs to them. i love your handcrafted items, they add an extra touch of love! thanks Denise! 💖💖💖

[@drogers]

Thank YOU Niki for always inspiring ME!! The dollar tree sets go nicely with these! ❤️🥰

[@sendingshoeboxes6090]

Oh this was so fun! I love the bag you stenciled and what a great idea about making your own stencils. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@drogers]

You are so welcome!🤗

Super Full, Fun and VERY Personal shoebox. You always pack amazing boxes but the peg dolls, the added fireman hat and stenciled bag just knocked them out of the park. I don’t know about you but when I include crafted items it feels like an even larger portion of my heart goes in the box. Great job Denise, TFS!!!!

[@drogers]

Totally agree! I love, if possible, sending something a little creative or handmade in each box! It definitely makes them more personal!💕

[@tracystoaks6573]

Thank you Marie! ❤️

[@susannamarie1695]

Wow! So cute love the theme! The peg dolls with the little firehouse are so cute! That puzzle track is fun!

[@drogers]

Thank you Susanna! It’s so cute and works so well! Kind of like an old fashioned toy!

[@byrdfeed9071]

Very cute stuffie and flashlight for this little guy 🥰. I’m so impressed with your peg dolls handiwork. They turned an ordinary play set into an extraordinary one. Great diy stencils tutorial. Love it! The 2nd box is just as cute as the first . TFS ❤💙

[@drogers]

Thanks Trish! Oh my peg dolls are a challenge. Trying to do them makes me appreciate even more just how talented Niki is!!!! But thank you. I try. She’s truly an inspiration!

[@batmansboxes4936]

There is so much cuteness in these boxes!! I love the track puzzle! Your peg dolls came out awesome and the flashlight is so cool. That’s an amazing wow gift for sure. Your stenciling and tutorial came out perfect! The Dalmatian with his fire hat was the topping on the cake! Such beautiful well thought out gifts that will bless 2 children! TFS my friend!

[@drogers]

TFW and Taking the time to comment my friend! I honestly think this is now my favorite age to pack for. It just comes the easiest to me. Must be all that preschool teaching 😂😂😂 I worked on these much earlier this year. I thought they came out cute but too bad I got the dogs name wrong🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😂😂

[@batmansboxes4936]

@@drogers 🤣🤣. I’m just glad we get our own names right these days🤣. I agree with you, 2-4 is a great age to pack for! Everything is an AHA moment with the little ones and there will be so many of those when they open up these boxes!

[@cassandrahenry1585]

👍Keep making great boxes that show the ❤ of God. Just so that you know: The Paw Patrol police dog is Chase & the fire dog is Marshall.

[@drogers]

Oh yes, 🤦🏻‍♀️😂I now realize I got the dogs’ name wrong 🤷🏻‍♀️. Oh well, it will still be loved. As one of my viewers said (to make me feel better, I think🤣) Marshall is just telling everyone that Chase is ready for Jesus!!!! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I really appreciate it!

[@dalehighnote6958]

This box is really adorable. Love the personal touches. Your peg dolls were really awesome, Denise. The DT firehouse is a nice addition. Really impressed. TFS the stenciling tips. Marlene

[@drogers]

Thank you Marlene! You are always so sweet and complimentary. 🥰

[@ששבריבוע]

Super awesome box! remind me that I wanted to be a fireman as a kid loll 🚒 btw, the fire pup name is Marshal, Chase is the police pup :) (I love PAW Patrol lol) 🔥🔥🔥

[@drogers]

Awww man… can’t believe I got his name wrong.🤦🏻‍♀️oh well…😂

[@christinebarber8311]

@@drogersit’s ok! Marshal is just telling the little boy that his friend Chase is ready for a Mighty Jesus 😅 no worries. The box is so dang cute and special. Your attention to detail the the love you poured into these boxes is evident!

[@drogers]

@christinebarber8311 awwww… you are the sweetest. 🥰

[@valswain]

Cute! Love everything, but especially the firemen peg dolls and Dalmatian dog to go with the fire station playset and fire truck toys. This little boy will have so much fun with everything that makes up his little play set. Such great ideas in this box! I just packed a 2-4 boy box with a construction zone theme that has a little playset. And I used similar stickers from Hobby Lobby but with construction theme. Really great tutorial on the stenciling!

[@drogers]

Oh I would love to see your construction box! I bet it’s adorable!!And thank you for watching this one! I packed these earlier this year and loved how they came out. Such a fun theme to work with. I have SO many of the NAEIR clothes still!!! I’m finding my cutest boxes this year are for the Boys 2-4! More fun ones to come! Thanks again my friend!

[@valswain]

@@drogers can’t wait! I always pack the most for boys 2-4 😊

[@PamsPackingOCCshoeboxes]

Very cute box, love the fireman theme. Thank you for showing us how to make our own stencil. Great idea using the dividers instead of expensive stencil sheets.

[@drogers]

Thanks Pam! The dividers truly work great! And so much cheaper! Fireman theme is always so fun for the little boys!

[@juliesizemore2672]

Love the peg firemen. Fun boxes for these little boys to enjoy.

[@drogers]

Thanks Julie! 🚒🚒🚒

[@allisonw1092]

Aww, that little Dalmatian firedog is soooo cute! 😍

[@drogers]

Thank you! 😊

[@darlenerogers3218]

I LOVE these! You have done another amazing job putting these together. The lids are so cute! I got some pencil pouches put together today! Progress!❤

[@drogers]

Awww… thanks Darlene! Progress indeed! Great job! Woo hoo!!! I’m nearing my pencil pouch goal. Just purchased some more pouches on Amazon for a great deal to finish up!

[@judyfrazier2462]

These are so cute, Denise. I packed some of the same items in my fireman boxes ! That puzzle is really cute. I taught preschool 4 year olds for ten years.That is my favorite age. Your peg dolls and lids are really looking good.

[@drogers]

No wayyyyy. I didn’t know you were a preschool teacher! I taught for 12 years. 4 year olds also! Actually started a preschool as Director also. Then I needed to make more money so went into the government. Teaching was great while my kids were little. I do miss it but I don’t miss bending down so much and sitting in tiny chairs!😂😂🚒 And TFW! Peg dolls are hard for me but the lids are quite enjoyable this year! Thank you!!!

[@tammyjones3709]

Really a cute theme.You did a great job on the peg people. I like the stenciling you did, I will have to try ,looks like fun.A lot of fun toys in this box❤😊

[@drogers]

Thanks Tammy! Yes, give it a try! Even if you don’t make your own stencils, try the self adhesive ones at Dollar Tree. They come out nice too!

[@katt405]

Adorable boxes! Love this fire truck theme! So many great ideas to inspire us!!

[@drogers]
