I Love your boxes. I'm a project/drop off leader for our area. My logistics leader told me when you put cards in envelopes that the processing center has to open them and make sure there's no money in them and that takes extra time. I switched over to post cards. My daughter designed them(on Canva) with our church logo and pictures of group events from our church. On the back can be a picture of the person(or their family) who built the box and space for them to write on. We've also designed a generic one for people who don't have a picture. They turned out great and I have been able to get everyone to fill out a personalized card to include this year. Because of your beautiful lid art, we laminate them and the kids have a long term keep sake. Because of your instructions for game, we send games in every box. This is truly an army that raises up to bless each one of these kids and I'm proud to be able to be a part of all this. 💞
Yes I definitely is something to think about because you're right they do have to look in the cards. I'm so glad you have been able to use the shoe box lids and instructions! That makes my heart so happy I want to hear what others are doing with all the printables. You are absolutely right it is amazing to see all the people involved in this ministry and how what we all do together reaches so many kids around the world! Praying they feel God's love in every box! ❤️
This was a fun video to watch. I was so surprised at how much you packed with a large stuffie. The wooden mirror is a special. Lego kit will be enjoyed. How awesome it was that you had the “last” 5 of items… like it was meant to be for these boxes. TFS
I was telling my husband after I filmed this video how I kept stumbling on five of an item and it just felt like it was all so meant to be! God always provides!
I think its great that you show your thinking process in packing the boxes, because a lot of people have trouble packing to make the most of your space. And most of the videos on youtube are unboxings not showing how to fit everything in.
Thank you I have the best time doing this one and going through the process to show everybody. I definitely think I'll do more videos like this in the future
Hi Annabeth! Videos like these give me goosebumps and a lump in my throat just thinking about the 5 young ladies who receive these boxes. They will feel so much love and be so excited! ❤ TFS
Oh thank you so much val! I had the best time making these and I really felt like it was really cool that God kept providing five of all the things that I wanted to add to these boxes. I totally agree it's an amazing thought to imagine the five girls who will receive these! 🥰❤️
This was so much fun to watch, AnnaBeth! I love how the Lord works all the details in our packing… you kept having just the right amount of items. 5 young ladies who God has in mind and these boxes will be such a sweet blessing. The cat masks and the frog squishmallows are TOO cute! ❤😊
Amazing getting so many boxes done at once. I think the gel pens are a great addition to the school pouches. I love how cuddly all the boxes look. The soft kitten masks and large stuffy will provide so much comfort for the girls. Beautiful coloring books as well! Great job and I know these girls will be absolutely thrilled. 💖
This video is a great example of a fun and full box and just how much you can actually fit in a shoebox. Love the way these turned out, AnnaBeth. After you grabbed the jacks and were contemplating what else to include, I was thinking to myself jump ropes would be great if you’ve got some of those, 😂, which I love, BTW. They look like really nice quality. My favorites are the home sweet home coloring books and the wooden compact mirrors. Absolutely love both of those and of course the Squishmallow. Great boxes AnnaBeth! Thanks for sharing your organized system.
Love the wow stuffies, so adorable! Those coloring books are nice and good idea to add some gel pens. Nice brushes and the wooden compact mirrors ❤ The kitty masks are super cute! Those lego sets are awesome and you included so many great little gems!
I like your set up of your garage. You are so organized. Way better than my disaster of my OCC room. lol And I like the way you created 5 older girls shoeboxes with no theme. Love the coloring books. The stuffy is definitely a wow item. The Jacks filler you created is really cool. The wooden mirror is very unique. I like you added the Lego set last minute and great find btw. I love those lid covers. Great shoeboxes, Annabeth! 5 down in one day! Awesome!
Thank you so much Sharon! I had the best time doing all these boxes. And trust me I'm not always this organized! I feel like I get everything together and then it looks like a tornado hit some days LOL thank you so much for watching! Hope you have a great day 😊
I love the adult coloring books! I like the Lion Wholesale brushes too. I’m thinking of ordering those.These are fantastic boxes AnnaBeth! I love packing this way too! I also love that you left the stuffy as is. I think it definitely takes away from the wow when they are shrink wrapped. The lids are awesome! Great personal touch for each one! What wonderful gifts for these girls! An age that definitely needs more! A+++++ Thanks for sharing! ❤
Thanks so much Denise! Yeah I really like this size of those squishmallows because I didn't feel the need to wrap them. I had one a tad bigger and it was just too difficult to fit in the box. These ones are perfect!
I loved watching your process of filling boxes. I appreciate that you took us through every one of your steps. All of these boxes are lovely. Adorable wow stuffie. Did you mention you had a facebook group? I would love to check it out. Wonderful organization for all of your goodies. Thank you so much for sharing!
Oh thank you so much and I'm so glad you liked the shoe boxes! Yes I do have a Facebook group called 'Sending Shoeboxes' please feel free to join I have lots of great free printables that you can utilize for your own shoe boxes and we have a wonderful community in our group!
Love your boxes, Annabeth!! The squishmallows are so cute and popular with the kids. The adult coloring books are really cool too. It's amazing how much you were able to keep adding in there!! I was motivated by you and Denise's videos on Lion Wholesale and my order just came in yesterday. I love all of the quality items!!
I really loved the adult coloring books too! I found those on a great deal on Amazon so I'm always looking out for those. I feel like they're great for the older girls. I'm so glad you liked you're still from Lion wholesale! I've been really happy to find new places to shop this year for shoe boxes! Now time to stock up for next year LOL 😆🥰
Yes it's funny cuz I thought about doing six boxes but ended up only doing five and I guess it was God just telling me I had the right amount for five! Hope you're doing well and have a great day!
Your video was very helpful in providing tips and suggestions. This year, I decided to pack boxes for older girls as I am sure this age group often gets slighted. I really enjoyed watching the different items you placed in your box. Amazing how much you were able to place into a box. Most helpful was the way you were able to fit those coloring books in!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I agree with you I have also focused on a lot of the older kids shoe boxes this year. Thank you so much for watching!
I bought those stuffed frogs also. Darling and exceptional quality! Love the wooden compact mirrors. Where did you buy those? Nice full boxes with many treasures!
I'm so glad you got some of the frogs too! When I saw these I just thought they were so adorable and I had to get them all. Those compact mirrors I actually bought from a laser engraving company. I used to own a laser business and I would buy blanks like those compact mirrors you saw. I no longer do that so I'm using up my stock in my shoe boxes now.
The easiest way is actually to go online and pay on the Samaritan's purse website. If you want you can mail them a check or if neither of those other options work for you you could place the money inside your shoe box and when they open it at the processing center they will collect it.
Great job on packing 5 boxes for the 10-14 year old girls:) Would you be able to squeeze in some hair ties to go along with those great hairbrushes & compact mirrors that you found for a great price:) Blessings to you & your family 🌹💞🎄🎁🗺️
Si aun puedes, mete clips para el pelo, gomitas, bandanas y otros adornos que gustan mucho a las niñas y pueden ponerse aunque tengan el pelo corto. Y tal vez algunas cuentas de ensartar, que no ocupan casi.

I totally agree! It is great to see how God works. I was telling my husband afterwards how awesome it was I kept finding five of everything I needed!
To me, there is no such thing as sending too many stickers. I love the shoeboxes. They are all adorably fun.
Haha I love that! You are so right there are never too many stickers! 🥰😊
Amazing getting so many boxes done at once.
I think the gel pens are a great addition to the school pouches.
I love how cuddly all the boxes look. The soft kitten masks and large stuffy will provide so much comfort for the girls.
Beautiful coloring books as well!
Great job and I know these girls will be absolutely thrilled. 💖
I was so happy to find those cat masks and that I had enough of them for each of the boxes! I can't wait for these girls to get their boxes!

Oh I love that we were thinking the same thing on the jump ropes! It really is amazing how much you can fit in these boxes. Thanks so much Trish! 😊

Haha 5 was the perfect number for you. Those masks are adorable.
Couldn’t help but notice that the boxes you have seem thicker than the Canadian ones
Yes it's funny cuz I thought about doing six boxes but ended up only doing five and I guess it was God just telling me I had the right amount for five! Hope you're doing well and have a great day!

Thank you for sharing! These will make some young girl very happy. I enjoyed watching.❤
Thank you so much! 🥰
Five wonderful boxes! Great job! They will be happy girls! Thanks for all the pointers! 😊 Love the Home Sweet Home books too...
Thanks so much! I'm so glad you liked him. I totally agree I love those home sweet home coloring books. Glad to finally use them!
I bought those stuffed frogs also. Darling and exceptional quality! Love the wooden compact mirrors. Where did you buy those?

Love those! I have some stuffies that size and was wondering how much could fit in there with them. Now I'm ready to pack them in some boxes! TFS❤
Yes these stuffies look big but I was so pleased with how much I could still send with them. Hope you packing goes well! I had a blast with these!!!
Love these boxes!!!🎉
Thank you so much! ❤️
I assume you have colored pencils in the pencil pouches, because of the gorgeous coloring books!
Yes I probably forgot to mention but each one of those pencil packs did have colored pencils in them 👍🏻❤️ thanks for watching!!
What a great video. Very motivating 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
Wonderful boxes!
Thanks ❤
I’m gonna actually going over to operation Christmas child their warehouse in Baltimore soon
Oh that sounds so exciting! I can't wait to do that someday and get to enjoy that side of the shoe box process. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
We are filling up our boxes and are confused at the $10 donation for shipping part. Where do we put the money? In the box?
The easiest way is actually to go online and pay on the Samaritan's purse website. If you want you can mail them a check or if neither of those other options work for you you could place the money inside your shoe box and when they open it at the processing center they will collect it.
Great job on packing 5 boxes for the 10-14 year old girls:) Would you be able to squeeze in some hair ties to go along with those great hairbrushes & compact mirrors that you found for a great price:) Blessings to you & your family 🌹💞🎄🎁🗺️
Hair ties would be a great addition! Thanks so much for watching! 🥰

Thank you those are all such wonderful ideas! I do love sending hair accessories when I can 👍🏻
Very nice beautiful.
Thanks ❤️
What a babe 🎉
You're so funny honey. Love you and thanks for helping me organize the garage 😘
