    I pack WOW filler packs using the building block cases, hot wheel cases and the pink fashion doll cases too. When I find them, I also use the purple doll closets for WOW filler. Two of the Forever Friends dolls fit in them well along with clothes and accessories. I love doing large filler like this (perhaps more than filling boxes).

      I love the purple doll closets too! I did a video short on those last year. Unfortunately I haven’t found them of late!!! Wow! Maureen! Sounds like you are doing a phenomenal job in creating filler! I love doing it too!

    Wonderful video, Denise ! Thanks for showing how to make the bags. I'm going to do those for sure. I have lots of marbles from 5 Below that need bags. The doll with the wigs is too funny !! Also, thanks for sharing the popsicle puzzles. Never tried that and I already have the sticks. TFS

    I'm not a crafter, but I think I could make the popsicle stick puzzles after watching your video.They are so cute and fun. Filling the block box with fun toys is a great idea. The new coloring books are good to see. Thanks for taking us with you.

    Love making popsicle puzzles. They are super simple even for non crafties like me 🤣. Aren’t those fruit plushies adorable? I bought the orange one yesterday. Still haven’t found the XO WADDLE though🤣. Ugh im totally jealous. Your DT has a lot of Halloween items, I’ve found nothing in mine. The Barbie clothes are so cute! I also bought the artist one, too bad it wasn’t out for my horse art box. Did you see the firefighter outfit? It’s adorable! Super cute new items coming out. The WIGS are hysterical. Of course love all the bags you make!TFS my friend!

Always fun to find new things! And thanks for watching! I feel like you should do a video like this too! You are so creative and have terrific ideas!!!

    Hi Denise!
    I will be making popsicle stick puzzles as well. The only difference from your design is that I will add another picture on the back so the child will have two puzzles to solve. One picture will be a photograph. The other will be quite different, perhaps a drawing or even a design burned into the wooden sticks. That will make it easier for the child to know which pieces go with each puzzle.
    Your videos brighten my day!

    • @drogers

    These are great craft projects, Denise! Simple and inexpensive, all from DT. I always loved your puzzles. Beautiful wire bracelets and bead kits. Thanks for sharing how to create your baggies. I've have yet to use the iron ons from DT, I need to! Love the lego kits - I do something similar. My favorite is your cord kits. The Hot Wheels containers are so fun. Same, my DTs never have the good socks. Great haul in the end! Great items you picked up. Always thanks for sharing!
