Operation Christmas Child - Packing a backpack! 🦊 Girl 10-14 2024

[@bernievandewalker1420]

I love this theme. We have a pair of foxes that live in the neighborhood and we see them often. The T-shirt is beautiful. Lovely

[@drogers]

Thanks Bernie! We have foxes in our neighborhood too! But to be honest as much as I love foxes, the ones in my neighborhood scare me! They slyly walk the streets and backyards from time to time …along with the deer of course! 😂Thank you for watching! 🦊🍁🦊

Beautiful box! Love the colorful building pieces! Her shirt is so pretty and her fox zip pouch is so cute. I have been trying to figure out how to pack a full size backpack and I may try this! TFS ❤

[@drogers]

Definitely give it a try because a quality backpack can be such a nice wow! Thanks SusannaMarie! 🦊🍁🦊

[@BarretoFamily]

I love your lid artwork! Too cute! That backpack is an AMAZING WOW item!!!

[@drogers]

Thank you! I’m enjoying drawing on the lids this year to bring a little extra joy! TFW! 😊

[@margaret5398]

I love this box so full of treasures the little angel is so precious and special with the heart on the bottom. I also love erasers might not have as many different ones as you but I’m sure working on it ha ha it’s such fun putting them in boxes. Brilliant back pack packing. Thank you.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🍄🍁

[@drogers]

Thank you Margaret. I don’t know what it is about erasers that I so love packing them… but I do! I love this box too. I even found a sweet make a face fox sticker in my stash this morning and slid it in!!!!! TFW! 💕🦊💕

[@KellysKidz]

Fox-tastic box, Denise! 🦊❤ You really make the older girl boxes extra special and full of fun and love. I'm really enjoying all the Fall 🍁 boxes, my favorite season. 😊

[@drogers]

Thanks Kelly! Fall is definitely my favorite too… especially here in Maryland where the colors are so pretty. Hope you did well with the storm. Those tornadoes were crazy!!!!!

[@lindad1195]

Cute box! Love the little wooden Angel you made!

[@drogers]

Thank you! Those little angels are super easy! Dollar Tree has them in their Christmas display section. I’m not good at drawing on a face though so I just leave them as is. 😊👼🏻😇

[@tammyculp7765]

Love the theme, and the beautiful fall colors! Great shirt in green and the socks went well with that. So many sweet details. The love you put in shows❤️

[@drogers]

Thank you Tammy. That means a lot to me. 🤗🦊🍁💕

[@denise5457]

I love that nice backpack! I think I packed some last year. How perfect to pair it with fall colors, I didn't think of that. The fox theme is adorable. 🍁

[@drogers]

Thanks Denise! I love that backpack too. It’s a great quality and I just have to remind myself to keep packing them!!!!

[@kimmclean9933]

An adorable 🦊 box! That's a great backpack that will be longlasting. Thanks for sharing ☺️

[@drogers]

Love it when I can fit one in!!!! Now I just need to do it more often! 😂

[@nodrogytsirk]

This is an adorable box! I love the theme!

[@drogers]

Thank you so much! 🦊🍁🦊

[@mamachicken1548]

Wow!! Cute theme!! My daughter would love this box cause she loves foxes. The t-shirt is my favorite!

[@drogers]

Thanks Della! I love foxes too… just not the real ones 😂

[@mamachicken1548]

@@drogers LOL!!

[@byrdfeed9071]

The trickster of the woods…the fox! It’s my all time favorite woodland creature. The fox stuffy is a super cute one and I love her shirt. I’m loving all the beautiful fall colors in this box. You could have used this one as part of the fall shoebox challenge that Tiffany started. TFS another beautiful box, Denise 🍁🦊🧡🤎

[@drogers]

The fox is my favorite too until I see them slyly walking my neighborhood streets. Then they scare me! I already did a fall box that Tiffany used as her example so I guess this would be my follow up fall box! 😂TFW friend! 🦊🍁🦊

[@byrdfeed9071]

@@drogers oh yeah, you did! The one with that super sweet ragdoll and the cute pumpkin dress! How could I forget that adorable box! 🎃🧡

[@Vicki-fg7sx]

Very nice box! She will love. Such a great backpack! Hope you are doing better today. ❤

[@drogers]

Thanks Vicki! I hope she loves her box too! I’m doing a bit better. One step forward, two steps back kind of thing but I took a walk albeit small with my hubby yesterday and only needed my cane on an incline! So progress! Thanks for the well wishes! 💕😊🤗

[@Vicki-fg7sx]

@@drogers Awesome, you are doing better Hang in there!

[@BLESSEDandOCCobsessed]

Super cute theme. I bought several of those Spirograph sets from TEMU and you’ve given me a great idea for how to send them… I can’t pick a favorite in this box I love it all!!! Very helpful tip on packing large backpacks as well. TFS

[@drogers]

Thanks for watching Tiffany! Love the Spirograph sets. I LOVED that as a child! I played with it often. It’s such a creative toy!

[@tammyjones3709]

Another great box. I love the shirt, fox stuffie and the fox pouch is adorable. You seem to find the cutest erasers. I like the backpack too. I also bought some of them also but have only packed one, they are hard for me to pack. I will have to try again.

[@drogers]

Backpacks ARE hard to pack! But they are such a great item to include. Once you practice a bit, you then learn how to still make the box fun and full with the space you have left! Thanks Tammy for being here, commenting and being a great positive part of this community! 🦊🤗💕

[@valswain]

That is a nice backpack! I forced myself to pack a few full size backpacks this year too! I have collected so many over the years and haven’t packed them - because it’s hard 😂😂😂 especially in a GO Box. But you did an amazing job packing this box 😊. I love the Fall Fox Flare 🦊 🍁 🧡🎒love all the Fox stickers 😊

[@drogers]

Fall Fox flare 😂🦊😂🍁… love that. I’m forcing myself to pack them also and was hoping by sharing to encourage others as well. They ARE hard to pack but such a nice gift, right?

[@valswain]

@@drogers oh they are such a great gift! For all ages!

[@GraceMurdick]

Wow, nice full box.

[@GraceMurdick]

It was nice watching you pack that back pack. I just got 50 boxes from Samaritan purse. I bought 2 boy back pack's on clearance for $4.00 each from. Walmart's. I packed 2 girl ones in the winter couldn't get them in a Samaritan purse box. So I got a shoe box from my niece. I had to fold them in half. Actually it was 2 kid's boot boxes. So I thought I would put out the word for more boxes. I never thought I could roll them that tightly. So thank you for sharing. I appreciate it.

[@drogers]

It sounds like you are doing some wonderful packing, Grace! Most of the backpacks I have purchased are also from Walmart! I love being able to send them! Such a nice gift imo. Some of the harder style ones are wayyyyy too tough to get in and would require a bigger box so I try to look for ones that are softer but still sturdy and good quality. It’s still a challenge but one that I wanted to encourage! Thanks for watching friend!

[@lisadbeerbower]

Denise, I love this box! The backpack, shirt and stuffie are my fave things in the box. I absolutely adore your lid artwork! How are you feeling today? ❤🙏

[@drogers]

Thanks Lisa! I’m doing better. Took a walk yesterday with my hubby and went a little further. Only needed my cane once on an incline. Progress! Still so sore though!! Thanks for asking friend! 💕

[@Alicia100ish]

This is a cute one!! I love her t shirt and her hygiene kit is super pretty. Impressive amount of earrings which she’ll love and I like those little things that click together they look cool . Wonderful 😊

[@drogers]

Thanks Alicia! Putting the hygiene kits together this way has helped me pack more easily and they do look pretty…so thank you for noticing! That shirt is prettier in person than on camera! Truly! 😂

[@batmansboxes4936]

Haha I felt like this box was a bottomless pit. You just kept pulling stuff out🤣. Awesome job getting a full size backpack in an OCC box. I have one left but can’t seem to make it fit into a regular box. Love all the Fox stuff you included! Difficult to pick a favorite but the shirt and the beautiful necklace are at the top! Love your 10-14 boxes, they are always full of useful and so many fun items. Great work combining the two! TFS my friend!

[@drogers]

Thanks Jeannie! I have so many backpacks still to pack!!!! I just have to remind myself to get them in there. The key is that everything else has to be small and flat sort of. I do love packing for this age but it seems to take me the longest in my thought process. Does it for you? I can pack a 2-4 box in 15 min with my eyes closed but the 10-14 girl takes much much more time. TFW friend!!!

[@batmansboxes4936]

@@drogers oh yes, this is a hard age for me too. Both the girls and boys are a challenge. 2-4 are my favorite age group bc most things are so small🤣

[@collielove]

The animal you didn’t know what it was looks like a cheetah. Nice box!

[@drogers]

Oh that’s a good guess! You might be absolutely correct! Thank you!!!

[@PamsPackingOCCshoeboxes]

Very sweet shoebox. I really like all the fox items. That stuffy looks so cute. What a great theme. I can’t believe how much you got in that box in addition to that backpack! This girl will love her box. TFS. (PS what kind of microphone do you use; people tell me my voice is too quiet.)

[@drogers]

Hi Pam! Thanks for watching. My microphone was purchased on Amazon. Just a cheap version. It’s called PoP voice Professional Lavalier Lapel Microphone. It works well! Now if I could just not have the echo in my house that was created when I got hardwood floors!🤦🏻‍♀️😂

[@KarenYork-t2c]

Love all those cute and adorable foxes! You are so artistic with decorating the kids of boxes! Something I’m not. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I am amazed how you managed to fit a regular backpack and still get so much stuff in that box with it! Thank you for showing how to do that! 👏❤️👏❤️👏❤️

[@drogers]

You are welcome Karen! And I have so many backpacks yet to pack! I thought it would be helpful to share! They can be such a nice quality gift! Thanks for coming along and watching! 🤗

[@elainemarler1842]

Where did you get the flower shaped linking blocks? Fox theme box is awesome!!! Always enjoy watching your creative box videos!!!

[@drogers]

Thanks Elaine! Well it took me awhile to figure this one out as I had forgotten. It looks like I purchased them (60 count) from Temu last year. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching! 🦊😊💕

[@leahwinn4056]

Are they planning on giving these out to American girls and boys who have endured these horrible hurricanes? I think it would be a great idea for those who have lost everything.

[@drogers]

You can check the Samaritans Purse website for distributions. I do know SP is on the ground with great disaster relief in North Carolina and Florida. They do amazing work! In addition, these boxes are not considered aid but rather an opportunity for a child to hear the Gospel in many parts of the world that need to hear the word of God. Thanks for watching! 💕
