From the bottom of my heart I am so sorry to hear of your illness. Bella is absolutely beautiful and she looks so loving I'm sure you've blessed each other. Oh my gosh that kitty plush is absolutely darling. I love love love that shirt good for you for getting them for such a great price. You are such an amazing thrifty shopper. Prior to this year and watching these unboxing video's I had no idea about clearance shopping so I have to thank you so much for your shopping inspiration. Hmm favorite thing in the box is a toss up between the stuffy and the t-shirt. Thank you for sharing I look forward to more unboxing your video's are always so inspiring to me.
Thanks Bonnie. I’m so happy to hear these RUclips videos have helped you find clearance! That’s wonderful! I love that plush… I have another one to pack! Maybe next year. So cute and fun! I thought about you tonight as I worked on my unicorn boxes! They turned out cute. Thanks for watching and caring. I appreciate it. 💕😻💕
Hey Denise! I love your box in honor of Bella! It’s amazing how cats and dogs know how to comfort us when we need it most! Ms 10-14 is going to love this box! So many fun and practical items that any girl would love! Thanks for sharing! 💜💜💜 PS…. I’m so sorry to hear about your medical condition! You are in my thoughts and prayers!💜💜💜
Thank you so much Dawne! I appreciate your prayers. It IS amazing how our pets know when we need their comfort the most! DRs. Say they help us lower blood pressure and calm us. I think that’s so true! This was a fun box to do. I hope Miss 10-14 really enjoys it! Thanks so much! You are the best! 💕
Oh my goodness, Denise, that kitty stuffie is adorable and I can’t believe you found a T-shirt to match, plus the heart shaped sunglasses. How cute is that? The puzzle is a fantastic addition….can’t believe you fit the whole box! I snagged a few of those, myself, for $.69. What a steal! I wasn’t originally planning to put them in a shoebox, but you’ve got me thinking now. I’m excited to see you got those bracelets from Shein. Those were a great deal from them. This box turned out so cute, Denise. Bella should be proud. TFS 🥰
Thanks Trish! Those puzzles were an amazing deal! I was determined to make it work! Very pretty too! The TShirt matching the stuffy was purely incidental. Bought the shirt- 2 in fact of the same pattern- when the Childrens place had that big sale I told you about. When I got it, I thought…Hey I’ve got that stuffie…. And the rest is history so they say! Lol. Thanks for watching my friend! 💕😻💕😻
Awwww…. Thanks Tina! I bet yours is so pretty too! I love their markings! Her toes are the cutest! She gives me a lot of joy. Thank you for watching! 😻
BELLISSIMA Shoebox Denise!! 💜 💗 A beautiful way to honor your Bella! I love the stuffy and of course the puzzle from Mel! I also love the puzzle and her backpack too😍 Thank you for sharing! 💕
Thank you Jessica! Mel is so creative! The puzzles are just a small added touch that hardly take up any space and yet could be so treasured! Thank you for watching and for ALL you and your family does for OCC! 🤗
Thanks Niki for always supporting this ministry! You are so sweet! That plushie is soooooo soft! I think she will really say, “wow”!it’s a fun theme for an older girl. A little bit of everything for any age 10-14! TFW friend! 😻😻😻
Awww, this is beautiful! I love that you made a shoebox in honor of beautiful Bella! Funny, I am working on 2 shoeboxes on my belated dog, Kody. Sorry to hear about your medical condition and praying for you. Now to the shoebox! So cool you found so many items with a cat with sunglasses! The stuffy and sunglasses are adorable. My favorite is the gorgeous puzzle! And what a price! Of course, very thoughtful of you to add practical items like the menstrual pads and lots of school supplies for an older girl. The little dolls are so cute! Love the stickers, and those paw markers. 🐾 Bella I know loves this shoebox as much as she loves you! I am also both a dog and cat fan. Thanks for sharing this sweet shoebox! 😺😸😻😽🙀
Thanks Sharon! I don’t think I’ve ever shared with you my illness, have I? Bella has always been by my side since I was diagnosed. Oh… is Kody the one in your picture? He’s beautiful! I’m so sorry he went over the rainbow bridge. It’s always so hard when that happens. They give us so much joy. It is funny that so many items out there are cats with glasses! 😹😹😹 Yep that puzzle was 90% off Walgreens unmarked. Originally $6.99. Got it awhile back. I had to take Bella to the vet today also. She has to have some teeth extracted! 😩 Thanks for watching friend! I’ll look forward to seeing Kody’s box when it is completed! Have a great weekend Sharon! TTYs!
What a wonderful box for a girl in her age group! I love how thoughtful you are with everything that goes into the box. My daughter is in this age group. The squishy plush is all rage right now with her and her friends. She will love the puzzle. I am a puzzler and I get some much relaxation out of just sitting in a quiet house working a puzzle. Life seems like it is such a noisy place anymore and it feels good just to sit and be quiet for a little while. I have to look into those pads. I dispise plastic feminine pads. Ive switched to all cotton disposable but there is so much trash I feel guilty. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Kim for your beautiful comment. I do try to make each box special and put a lot of love in there. That stuffed kitty plush is so cute…. Kind of like squishmallow material and I know the girls love them. I just wasn’t sure I could fit it in! Lol. Puzzles are great relaxers. During COVID lockdown we did a-lot of them. I got so into them I didn’t want to stop! Lol. Packing shoeboxes takes all that noise away from me… well most of it. It’s been a crazy few years in our world. I just pray. 💕
What an amazing box!! I loved it all. My favorite thing has to be the cross necklace. But I also love the plush kitten. I was so surprised how many great things you kept pulling out. Thank you for sharing your story, you are very brave and strong. You will be in my prayers. Thanks for sharing. 💚
Thank you Melanie! And thank you for your prayers too! I can always use a few extra. 🥰 I’m glad you enjoyed this special box. It was so enjoyable to put it together in honor of my sweet cat Bella. Thank you for watching!
Thanks Morgan! You are catching up! So fun! Bella is a sweetheart and always seems to know when I am feeling bad. I always enjoy doing a sweet kitty box! TFW!
Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your private life and a good look at beautiful Bella. I have a sweet little dog to keep up my spirits. Once again, you made a terrific box!
Thanks Lisa! Pets are the best. They just know when we need them. Bella is sitting on my lap right now while I type this. She’s so sweet. And thanks for watching this one and taking the time to comment. It means so much! 💕
@@mikefriesen9369 just talked to her. Her FB got hacked. Best way to reach her now is email or Instagram. Her email is: madebymelissamr@gmail.com Hope that helps!
Hi Denise, I emailed a pic. of my latest shoebox last night. Claire, my rescue cat, also featured in the photo. More amazing was the book that inspired the box was about animals seeking shelter ... 🤗 to you and Bella 🐈⬛️
Got your email! I just replied! Your kitty is a model! Beautiful! I forgot to mention in my reply how I love the book inspired box and animals seeking shelter. Love that! I love finding good books to get my creative shoebox packing going! Thanks again my friend! 🤗
🤣🤣🤣 oh Denise I am cracking up at that plush! It’s so stinking adorable!! This box is stuffed with adorable things! Those popsicle puzzles are beautiful! Love how you got that giant puzzle in there! You probably think I steal all of your ideas but this year, I started collecting items for a Xena Bellina box for next year. All of a sudden I’m seeing corgi stuff everywhere and my Xena (who crossed the rainbow bridge 2 years ago) immediately came to mind. I’m doing a tribute box next year for sure! Thank you for sharing your story and how your little furry friend helped you deal with it. My Xena saved my life on many occasions just by being her. Funny, her and I had some of the best conversations 🤣. This was definitely a feely box for me!
No I def don’t think you steal my idea! You inspire ME with YOUR ideas! Oh your dog was a corgi? I LOVE corgis! I’ve talked to my hubby about getting one! Lol. And yes, there are suddenly soooo many corgi things out there! I’ve even thought about doing a corgi box! Bella has saved me in small yet beautiful ways. Her and I chit chat a lot! It’s so hard when our pets cross the bridge. They bring us so much joy! Well I look forward to your Xena Bellina box next year! Thanks for watching friend! 😻
@@drogers awww you’re so sweet! Yes my Xena was a corgi, sweetest dog ever. Get one, you won’t regret it. Xena was a tri color with one blue eye one brown eye, I do miss her terribly. So funny how we talk to our furry friends like people. Some days they are better listeners🤣🤣. Hugs!
I am definitely a cat person who also loves dogs. My favorite things are the adorable stuffie, the shirt and sunglasses. Last night, I just agreed to foster 4 rescued kittens. They are 3-4 weeks old. They have upper respiratory infections and anemia from fleas. They are feral, but I am able to handle them. Let the fun begin!
Oh you brave soul….4 kittens! Wow! I would want to keep all of them! Lol… I volunteer with lab rescue and I want to keep every foster! Lol. Fosters are very special people. Let me know how it goes! And as for the box, I love that stuffie too! It has so much character! Thanks so much Pat! 😻
Sorry to hear about your medical condition. Please know that you bless many with your boxes along with the recipients. I love the cat stuffie. Your friend created a great popsicle puzzle. The shirt is a good compliment to the box. i could not believe that you fit so much into the box! Great way to package the feminine hygiene pads. Thanks for sharing and glad to hear that your cat is a comfort to you.
Thank you Marlene. Packing shoeboxes definitely keeps my mind off of everything. Bella does too. Thanks for your kind words. Isn’t that stuffie fun? I love The Children’s Place for shirts! Really cute stuff! I was happy how it all came together. Thanks so much for watching!
I love the box but I also loved seeing Bella. I'm a cat person but I do love all animals. My 2 cats are rescues as well. 🐱 Also, thanks for sharing a little of your story. I'm also going through one of those dark periods of dealing with something that can't just be cured. To keep myself from giving up, I've been busy packing more boxes this year. The distraction helps. I'll keep you in my prayers. ❤️
Thanks Denise and thanks for sharing as well. Yes, packing shoeboxes helps me keep my mind off of the pain. I’m so sorry to hear you are going through something also. We never know what’s going on in peoples lives. I will definitely pray for you my friend. I’ve given up so many times. But I’m a fighter so I just keep going and pray for a cure some day. Bella has been a great comfort the last 6 years. She’s a funny little girl. And yay for your two rescues! I also am a volunteer with Lab Rescue. Another distraction of mine… lol. Thanks so much for watching and supporting this community. My thoughts and prayers are with you. 🥰
Denise ,this is a great "Bella is your Bestie" box. I'm still in awe that you got that big stuffie and puzzle box in your shoebox and still managed to include so many extras. The young lady will say Meow!!! When she takes out each wonderful gift.
Thanks Tracy! Well I was surprised I got it all in there too! I even thought at one point I might have to leave the puzzle out and I said, “Noooo way!” That puzzle is too sweet and perfect to leave out! Fortunately this cardboard shoeboxes was a good size that let me fit it all in! Thanks so much for watching my friend! Let’s keep packing!😻🤗😻
Denise, I’m totally a cat and dog person also. The stuffie and shirt are my favorites. Good job with the heart sunglasses to match. 💗 You just ket pulling out color books and sticker books and activity books. I don’t know how you got it all in there. 😂 I love that this shoebox is in honor of your Bella. Give her some extra lovin’ from me please. 🐈⬛
Thanks Carol! Bella got a lot of loving last night as I had to take her to the vet! 😩 She’s ok but needs some teeth removed. She has been a great little companion…. Of course she also has two dog brothers! Those heart glasses were in my stash! It’s so fun when I’m packing and find something in my stash that goes perfectly with my box! I’m sure you know the feeling! Thanks for watching! Now I’m off to pack some more!!!
Bella looks so sweet. I'm glad the two of you found each other because the love between you can be felt while watching her with you. You made "her" box really special and filled it with many nice items, but my favorites are the stuffie and the shirt. I love the fact that this young lady will have a larger sized plush to enjoy as she enters young adulthood. ♥
Ohhh thank you Martha! She is very attached to me. She crawls up on me at night, kneads my chest, tucks her head under my chin and purrs away! Purrrfectly content. I hope this young lady will feel content also. Thank you so much for watching and caring. 🥰
We should be getting our new little kitty in the next couple of days, but I didn’t even know June was adopt a cat month! 😻 I am kind of a crazy cat lady, and I love this box. Especially the plush, shirt, and sun glasses. Praying you are feeling well.
Oh how funnnnn!!!!! Milo is getting a friend! I would get another in a heartbeat if Mark would let me! I can’t wait to hear about him or her! Send me pics of course! Oh kittens are so fun and a little naughty. Thanks…. I’m hanging in there but last week with the weather changes was particularly rough for me. Thanks again friend! 😻
What can I say. Another marvelous box! The Stuffy and shirt are absolutely adorable. I need to find that kitty bag. I love those backpacks but can’t never find them and certainly not at that price. SHEIN is addicting! Just received my fourth order (for this year alone) and have the same bracelets. I need to stop😆. Didn’t know DT has the Nanana stickers. Will be on the hunt since I have a few of the dolls.
Thanks Maritza! Oh those Nanana dolls are so cute! I’ve never found one at a reasonable price., DT def has the stickers… but you know it’s always hit or miss at DT. I’m hitting one up tomorrow! Yeah those backpacks were such an awesome deal. I remember being shocked at the price when I found them! Omg…. I got some really cute stuff at SHEIN. I’m going to place another order soon. I need some stickers on a roll for pencil packs. Yep my purse needs to be locked up! 😂😂😂TFW friend! 💕
I love that you dedicated a box to your sweet kitty; that's so beautiful! That pencil case is too cute: the brown cat looks so satisfied. Does Mel make Barbie doll clothes? I can't find a Barbie with more conservative clothes.
I don’t think she makes Barbie clothes. I buy them all over. Dollar Tree, Amazon, Dollar General. I know it’s hard to find conservative outfits. Seems like they all have on mini mini skirts, right? If I come across any, I’ll let you know.
This box is puuuuuuurrrrrrrrfect! 😻 Bella Boo (I used to call my niece that lol her name is Bella), Bella is a gorgeous kitty! 😍 I am a 100% cat person, though I did have a dog that had babies when I was little, I always had cats and preferred them. Just petting them is proven to reduce stress and anxiety! Still trying to convince my mom that it will help her lol she minds the hairs alot 😅 does her backpack also have a pencil case hoked on it? or is it an extra pocket? love the pop it key chains. We had them (they were just pop its) at the Dollarama and I wished I bought a bunch but I didn't. Hopefully they come back in stock so I can get some. Super cool box! love Kitties! Can't choose a favorite, if its got a cat I love it lol
Thanks Tray! They absolutely reduce stress! She just calms me! Tell your mom she should get one!!!! I’ve ALWAYS had a cat! Love them! There is an extra pocket on the front of her backpack. It’s really cool. Hard to pack though as I don’t usually use that type of box. I love the pop its too. Dollar Tree has some new pop it keychains but the quality is ehhhh…. The material is thinner. I may do one more Kitty box… just love them! TFW friend!
This is amazing! I love the puzzle the most, personally I think it's better to pack puzzles and legos in the original box, since they have many small pieces that can get lost without a box (even if it means there is slightly less room) and they are made of cardboard so there is not plastic trash if they don't want to keep the box I like the larger soaps better :) I feel like the travel sized ones are too small, and soap is very rare in some countries
Hey Math! Thanks for watching! Well it’s all about how to best utilize space in a small shoebox to get the best bang. If you know what I mean. I sometimes I just can’t fit the whole puzzle box but I was glad I could with this one because it’s a nice sturdy box! As for soap, I like the bigger bars too but soap is no longer on the recommended list. That doesn’t mean we can’t pack it but I think that’s the direction we are going in. Soap seems to cause too many issues with customs, molding etc. Since I still wanted to include it, I opted for the travel size. We shall see what next year brings as far as soap goes. Operation Christmas Child will always give us plenty of notice. I do agree that soap can be a treasured commodity in some parts of the world so it would be nice if they continue to let us send it. Thanks again my friend! Have a beautiful weekend!
Everyone packs differently. These videos are to encourage full boxes that are personal and fun! Everyone packs from their heart and the box is a tangible gift to show God’s love. God bless you!
From the bottom of my heart I am so sorry to hear of your illness. Bella is absolutely beautiful and she looks so loving I'm sure you've blessed each other.

What a totally sweet shoebox. My favorite item was the puzzle, many hours of fun for her and her family and friends.
Thanks Bernie. That puzzle is so pretty and it was such a great deal at Walgreens for 90% off. I hope she really enjoys it. Thank you so much.
Hey Denise! I love your box in honor of Bella! It’s amazing how cats and dogs know how to comfort us when we need it most! Ms 10-14 is going to love this box!

Thanks Carol! Bella got a lot of loving last night as I had to take her to the vet! 😩 She’s ok but needs some teeth removed. She has been a great little companion…. Of course she also has two dog brothers! Those heart glasses were in my stash! It’s so fun when I’m packing and find something in my stash that goes perfectly with my box! I’m sure you know the feeling! Thanks for watching! Now I’m off to pack some more!!!
Bella looks so sweet. I'm glad the two of you found each other because the love between you can be felt while watching her with you. You made "her" box really special and filled it with many nice items, but my favorites are the stuffie and the shirt. I love the fact that this young lady will have a larger sized plush to enjoy as she enters young adulthood. ♥
Ohhh thank you Martha! She is very attached to me. She crawls up on me at night, kneads my chest, tucks her head under my chin and purrs away! Purrrfectly content. I hope this young lady will feel content also. Thank you so much for watching and caring. 🥰
I think that's a perfect girly kitty box for a 10 to 14 y old💟
Thanks Stefanie! 😻😻
We should be getting our new little kitty in the next couple of days, but I didn’t even know June was adopt a cat month! 😻 I am kind of a crazy cat lady, and I love this box. Especially the plush, shirt, and sun glasses. Praying you are feeling well.
Oh how funnnnn!!!!! Milo is getting a friend! I would get another in a heartbeat if Mark would let me! I can’t wait to hear about him or her! Send me pics of course! Oh kittens are so fun and a little naughty. Thanks…. I’m hanging in there but last week with the weather changes was particularly rough for me. Thanks again friend! 😻
What can I say. Another marvelous box! The Stuffy and shirt are absolutely adorable. I need to find that kitty bag. I love those backpacks but can’t never find them and certainly not at that price. SHEIN is addicting! Just received my fourth order (for this year alone) and have the same bracelets. I need to stop😆. Didn’t know DT has the Nanana stickers. Will be on the hunt since I have a few of the dolls.
Thanks Maritza! Oh those Nanana dolls are so cute! I’ve never found one at a reasonable price., DT def has the stickers… but you know it’s always hit or miss at DT. I’m hitting one up tomorrow! Yeah those backpacks were such an awesome deal. I remember being shocked at the price when I found them! Omg…. I got some really cute stuff at SHEIN. I’m going to place another order soon. I need some stickers on a roll for pencil packs. Yep my purse needs to be locked up! 😂😂😂TFW friend! 💕
I love that you dedicated a box to your sweet kitty; that's so beautiful! That pencil case is too cute: the brown cat looks so satisfied. Does Mel make Barbie doll clothes? I can't find a Barbie with more conservative clothes.
I don’t think she makes Barbie clothes. I buy them all over. Dollar Tree, Amazon, Dollar General. I know it’s hard to find conservative outfits. Seems like they all have on mini mini skirts, right? If I come across any, I’ll let you know.
This box is puuuuuuurrrrrrrrfect! 😻 Bella Boo (I used to call my niece that lol her name is Bella), Bella is a gorgeous kitty! 😍 I am a 100% cat person, though I did have a dog that had babies when I was little, I always had cats and preferred them. Just petting them is proven to reduce stress and anxiety! Still trying to convince my mom that it will help her lol she minds the hairs alot 😅 does her backpack also have a pencil case hoked on it? or is it an extra pocket? love the pop it key chains. We had them (they were just pop its) at the Dollarama and I wished I bought a bunch but I didn't. Hopefully they come back in stock so I can get some. Super cool box! love Kitties! Can't choose a favorite, if its got a cat I love it lol
Thanks Tray! They absolutely reduce stress! She just calms me! Tell your mom she should get one!!!! I’ve ALWAYS had a cat! Love them! There is an extra pocket on the front of her backpack. It’s really cool. Hard to pack though as I don’t usually use that type of box. I love the pop its too. Dollar Tree has some new pop it keychains but the quality is ehhhh…. The material is thinner. I may do one more Kitty box… just love them! TFW friend!
This is amazing! I love the puzzle the most, personally I think it's better to pack puzzles and legos in the original box, since they have many small pieces that can get lost without a box (even if it means there is slightly less room) and they are made of cardboard so there is not plastic trash if they don't want to keep the box
I like the larger soaps better :) I feel like the travel sized ones are too small, and soap is very rare in some countries
Hey Math! Thanks for watching! Well it’s all about how to best utilize space in a small shoebox to get the best bang. If you know what I mean. I sometimes I just can’t fit the whole puzzle box but I was glad I could with this one because it’s a nice sturdy box! As for soap, I like the bigger bars too but soap is no longer on the recommended list. That doesn’t mean we can’t pack it but I think that’s the direction we are going in. Soap seems to cause too many issues with customs, molding etc. Since I still wanted to include it, I opted for the travel size. We shall see what next year brings as far as soap goes. Operation Christmas Child will always give us plenty of notice. I do agree that soap can be a treasured commodity in some parts of the world so it would be nice if they continue to let us send it. Thanks again my friend! Have a beautiful weekend!
@@drogers You are amazing :) :)
The item that I identify as the wow item is the jigsaw puzzle
I love that puzzle! I tried to find some today at Hobby Lobby on Christmas clearance for 2023 boxes but no luck. Thanks for watching!
I am a little bit of both too and want a cat soooo bad but I get hives and everything itches 😞💔
Awwww… my son has reactions like that too. But he’s survived with having a cat in our house since he was little. He’s grown now.
Porq en algunas cajas no les llega lo que les empacan y les llega muy poco comparando con los videos
Everyone packs differently. These videos are to encourage full boxes that are personal and fun! Everyone packs from their heart and the box is a tangible gift to show God’s love. God bless you!
