PRETTY, PRETTY BOX! These are the prettiest Barbie dolls! OMG……you stole the show with the miniature shoebox! How very creative of you! OMG, the skirt! You are a seamstress…..you are too hard on yourself! The skirt is beautiful. I bought the same Barbie designer pink box from Walgreens. You have now inspire me to “think” Barbie. This box will be cherished and treasured by girl receiving. I hope you hear back from her. Thanks for sharing and inspiring me and others to do a Barbie Box! 💕💕💕
Thanks Sonia! Yes, think pink, think fun, think Barbie! I got so many Barbies on sale this past year. I will be doing some more! Thank you for watching and kindly commenting my friend!
This box is truly special. LOVE the small Barbie OCC shoebox. What a great idea! Always amazed to see two Barbies in a box and wonder at the hours of play they will bring. The skirt you made is the WOW item to me as I am such a fan of handmade items. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Dale! You know, interestingly enough...I have so many Barbies and hardly sent that many last year. I am trying to send more this year. I think they can provide so much fun and imaginative play. And thank you on the skirt....I too, love homemade items. I try to put something homemade in each box....can't always...but I try. I may make some new skirts this year. I have so many shirts that I could match up with a skirt. TFW friend!
Ok, my favorite things are maybe not what you would expect - the Barbie in the car on the lid with the vanity license plate (super adorable), Barbie’s mini shoebox (so creative), the skirt and headband you made, and the teeny erasers 😏. Ok, I love the actual Barbies too lol. I am always afraid I will forget the note and photo too if I don’t pack it right away, and I think handwritten notes add the special personal touch to make the box unique and meaningful to the child for years to come. A nice keepsake. The “Barbie Girl” song is still my 21 year old daughter’s ring tone on my phone. Lol. “Come on Barbie, let’s go party.”
I love that Barbie song! 😂🤣😂Thanks again for those teeny erasers! It was so easy to pop them in this box! Oh the lid is one of my favorites. I agree. There are decorated lids and there are lids I go a little crazy with. This was the latter. 😃 But oh so fun! I would have anxiety if I waited to put the letters in later. It does take extra time to hand write them but I love doing it when I can. It is a personal touch. You are right. TFW! 💜
I am running out of superlatives to use when commenting on your unboxings! That tiny shoebox with all the teeny tiny things in! Just wow! The other gifts are also so well matched to the box theme. Love the Designer set and the sticker book too. TFS!
Awww....that is the nicest thing to say. You are too kind. Well, I just love this one too. It always inspires me to keep packing when it comes together so nicely. And it is viewers like you that inspire me also to keep going...one box at a time. Thank you friend!
I love your idea of a shoebox in a shoebox! I hadn't thought of packing 2 Barbies, but will be using this idea. When I was young, I loved to play with little things and I would have loved to receive a gift like this💝 Thank you for sharing😊
Thanks Pat! I do try to always pack 2 if I can. I got a lot of Barbies on sale this year so I am able to do so. But if not, one Barbie is perfectly fine and will be infinitely loved! Oh I loved little things too. So did my girls. They LOVED littlest Pet Shop toys! Thank you for watching my friend!
Thanks Math! I am really glad you enjoyed this one! I thought you might shy from a Barbie box but I see it was not true! I love a good Barbie box! I think this one was very special and I hope it brings her much joy. Little girls just love Barbie dolls. Thank you for watching my friend!
@@drogers I don't see why, if girls can watch dinosuar and soccer boxes there is no reason for me to not watch a Barbie box :) I mean, I might not being into playing with dolls myself but there are many "girly" stuff that I enjoy, Frozen and My Little Pony are good examples, I also like butterflies, flowers and unicorns, I mean why not?
Oh Denise what an incredibly delightful Barbie themed box. So many idea's so many inspirations. But.... My favorite is the outfit, that skirt is so beautiful I love it so much. And I think the Barbie gift box is absolutely darling such a cute idea. That Barbie bus is really neat as well as the Barbie create a scene book. I'd truly love to add those to my Barbie box as well. Thank you so much for sharing I love love your unboxing video's. ~Bonnie
Thank you so much Bonnie. You are the sweetest. Those Barbie create a scene's are so awesome! I need to find more! Do you know where they are? I do not remember where I found this one. I am thinking maybe Walgreens. What do you think? I have several more Barbie boxes to go this year. And thanks on the outfit. I thought it was time to send this little skirt on it's way...and this was the perfect box for it! I may make more this year....if I can only find the time! Ahhhhhh......Thank you so much for watching and being a great part of this community!
@@drogers Nope I don't know where the Barbie create a scene book is fun but I'll be on the look out and if I come across it I'll definitely let you know.
It was really dark in Maryland/Virginia today! Anyway, super fun Barbie box! Love what you did with the decor inside the lid. The first Barbie you took out is so gorgeous! I like that you included 2 Barbies. I love the Colors of Kindness crayons! Diana and I packed them in our heart shoeboxes last year and I agree, the names are sweet. I really like the Barbie coloring book. I rarely see Barbie coloring books anywhere. Very cool "notebook" you included. And very cool you added Barbie sport figurines. My absolute favorite is Barbie's own OCC shoebox!!! LOVE IT!!! So cool and very creative. And I like that you even color coordinated the items to the recipient's items as well. So FUN. The sticker book is the best. Great idea removing the cardboard. The Barbie stencil set is another fun activity item. Such pretty easers from Val! Wow, you are an amazing seamstress! The skirt looks store bought. Beautiful outfit you included. Same, I write my cards as I go as well. Gorgeous shoebox, Denise! Thanks for sharing! 🎀🎀🎀
It really was dark and gloomy! And then it sleeted! Crazy weather! I love the shoebox for Barbie idea also. I only wish I could have included more similar items...like a waterbottle , backpack and the turquoise brush. There was just not enough space and I really wanted to use an OCC box to match the Barbie's OCC box. So it wasn't perfect in my eyes but I know it will bring joy. Well, thank you but I am not an amazing seamstress..lol...In fact I am pretty bad.....especially at following a pattern. I am better at just coming up with my own pattern without exact dimensions. BUT that being said, this lady's RU-vid tutorial is REALLY easy to follow. So if you wanted to give it a try, she is a good place to start IMO, Thanks for watching my friend!
Thanks Anna Beth! I just looked at an OCC cardboard box laid out flat and copied the pattern onto green cardstock! Pretty easy to do if you decide to do one!
I just started watching these videos a few days ago. I love everything about this. You ladies (and gents) are so creative and kind and just what the world needs more of. The mini shoe box- that's just the coolest thing I have seen. Love and blessings to all of you for all you do ❤️
Hey Denise! Miss 5-9 yo is going to love her shoebox! This is one of my favorite shoeboxes this year! I’m working on a Barbie box right now and I will probably box lift the shoebox idea! It was so creative and fun! Thanks so much for sharing! 💜💜💜
Thanks Dawne! Box lift away! I’ve always done one box like this each year. It’s so fun to get creative with it! I’m sure your Barbie box will be awesome! Let me know how it goes and what you find to put in your Barbie’s shoebox! Thanks for watching! 💕
Wow, the lucky girl who receives this awesome, swirly, girly, curly-haired Barbie shoebox gift is going to be overjoyed with her 2 dolls, all the outfit changes, the create-a-scene and designer set. Love it all! Just like the reg size shoeboxes, you packed a lot into that teeny, tiny, Barbie shoebox, which is absolutely adorable, BTW. I think using folders in shoeboxes is great, bc you can also tuck other types of paper into the pockets. I found a couple on clearance in cool patterns a couple of years ago that I’m using in boxes TY. OMG, I didn’t even know the Barbie camper opened up. Thanks for the tip. I need to put my bead kits into much smaller containers. I’m finding my big bigger kits are just not fitting in my shoeboxes with everything else I want to pack 😕. You did a great job on the skirt. I just bought a huge role of elastic from Amazon to incl some in sewing kits and make skirts with the tons of fabric I’ve collected on clearance from WM. We’ll see whether I’ll get to it TY or not, lol. I don’t know how you find the time. Love this box, Denise. Loads of love, great tips and ideas. TFS 💖
Thanks Trish! I do like using the folders also. Especially in a smaller box. And when you think about it, it may be more practical because they can remove and put back in the paper. I am doing this and adding graph paper for the older kids. Bahahaha...the Barbie camper....yep, it opens! It is soooo cute! Yes, I keep finding that I don't have enough room for some of my bigger bead kits unless it is the wow or part of the wow gift. Oh go for it on the skirts! I might make some more this year...but there are so many other crafts too that I am trying to do. We shall see. I don't have the time...unfortunately. It's getting harder and harder and when I go back into the office in June...I won't have ANY time! TFW my friend!
Wouldn't it be fun if these were available to pack with our dolls? I think it could encourage little ones to play out the "why" they received a box through imaginative play with their dolls!
Denise your so talented 🤩!! Love your handmade skirt and your mini shoe box 😍 (how precious)!! Really cute Barbie box!! Wonderful items!! TFS and Crafty hugs ❤️🤗!!
That puppy is real cute. I may have to venture to Old Navy to see if I can pick up some of those bouncy, haha. That is so cute that you made a mini shoebox! This girl will be reliving receiving her shoebox for a long while. The stencil kit is also pretty cool. Thanks for sharing Denise!
Thanks Nicole! Yep, Old Navy balls are the best! Can’t beat the price! Once in awhile I fall in love with a dollar tree stuffy… this was one of them. So cute. Yes, I hope she will play out her gift receiving over and over again with her Barbie! Such a fun box. Thanks for tuning in! 😘
Such a creative box, Denise. I have a little SB filled with cards of scriptures. Samaritan's Purse sent those out a long time ago. It's a treasure for me. It looks cute under a little tree with the OCC ornaments at Christmas time. Some little girl is going to be thrilled ! I packed a frog box today. All greens !
Oh I would love one of those little boxes! How cute! I have many ornaments though. Oh don’t you just love a frog box? I’ve already packed one this year too! I think I’ve done one every year! Bet it was fun! Wish I could see yours! I love looking at other peoples boxes! Sometimes it’s like when I go to Costco, I want to see what everyone else is getting… or in this case is packing. I know I’m crazy. 🤪 Thanks Judy!
I remember playing with a fashion set similar to that. It might have been Barbie brand, I'm not sure. Brought back memories. Barbies were my indoor toys when weather was bad and I wasn't out being a tomboy. This box took me back. I think the cute shoebox you made reminded me of how we would make or repurpose things to go with the Barbies and my oldest granddaughter did that a lot too. I love that the girl who receives this box will have creative play time. The skirt and headband you made are wonderful too. Love the coloring book as well. 💕
Thanks Denise! We must be close in age! Yes, I was such a tomboy too but I still adored Barbies. I also had a set just like this. I think at one time I thought I would be a Fashion designer! Lol. I loved that set! I also use to repurpose things for Barbie. Omgoodness I use to make furniture and clothes out of anything! And my doll houses were shoeboxes!!! I use to love Liddle Kiddles too. They were tiny dolls with cute carrying cases. Ohhhhh such memories. I hope this little one loves everything that I placed in that box with love. Thanks for watching friend!
I do like it!!!! Great box, the skirt and head are awesome, I love me some Paisley print. Ha ha ha on me. I just realized I commented on this unboxing 5 months ago, and did not remember viewing it before. Lol
I love it when you comment so feel free to comment again! 😂 I love paisley too! Ya know, I use to make a skirt for every box? Now I just don’t have the time and I can usually find items for less at Walmart. But I do love adding the personal touch of love. Thanks Tracy! Hope you’re having a great weekend!
I just LOVE this box. Your creativity never ceases to amaze me. When you pulled out Barbie's little shoebox, I was spellbound in appreciation of your unique ideas. I always find it hard to pick a favorite in your boxes because all of the items blend together and complement each other so beautifully. Great box and thanks for sharing.
Thanks Martha for the lovely comment. I always enjoy reading them. I hope this little girl finds joy and hope in this very pink box! It was such a fun box to get excited about and get creative with. Thank you for coming along with me and sharing in the love for OCC!
@@drogers I believe the message that tiny Barbie shoe box will send. Is God loves her and cares about what she cares about. Two shoes boxes will be a double message of God's and your love for her. At least that's what I heard in my heart.
i love the mini shoebox! i made one last year, but not as nice as yours, its soooooo cute!!! your boxes are always a joy to see... thanks for sharing Denise! 💖💖💖
Thanks Niki! Oh I bet yours was awesome! I’ve done this before with a bigger doll and bigger box. It was a challenge to find the tiny items but very fun to do!
Omg, the mini shoebox made my eyes widen😆. It is adorable! How creative. The license plate on the lid was so cool. Again, very creative. Great job on the skirt and headband. The sticker book is really, really nice. Loved how you were able to fit two Barbies with extra clothes. And Val’s erasers were so prettily bagged. I love anything Barbie.
Thank you Maritza! The vanity license...right? So funny. Wish I had one! LOL. I love that sticker book too. Wish i could remember where I found that. It could have been Walgreen's. They seem to have a lot of Barbie product that goes on sale. Yep, I just love Barbie too! I will be packing quite a few more Barbie boxes...maybe not all Barbie themed but including the Barbies. I found a lot of sale this year. I adored Barbies growing up....AND I was a tomboy! LOL...TFW my friend!
very pretty box Denise. I loved using the duotang folders with coloring pages and writing paper, but they don't fit on our OCC boxes 😕 I cant wait to use the Barbie camper! the polly pockets fit in it too! love the pink and turquoise. Oh my goodness the Barbie shoebox how flipping cute is that!! very nice box, love your skirt and headband, well done!
Thanks Tray! I can’t believe the folders won’t fit in your boxes! What’s up with that? Why are they smaller than ours? Ohhhh awesome to know that Polly Pockets fit in the camper!!!! I did not know that! Now I need to find another one! I only found one so far. It’s really cool for a girls box. Thanks for watching my friend! 💕
What a FUN THEME!! Love the pinks and blues. 💗💙 I'm doing a Barbie Themed Shoebox this year, so I was super excited to see this! I got the create a scene book at DG for a penny! I also got the same stencil set from WG, whoohoo! Those erasers are too cute 😍 the skirt is SO beautiful!! You're so talented, friend! I know she will enjoy her box of barbie fun packed with love 💜 🧡 💚 ❤️ 💕
Thank you Jessica! Barbie is so fun right? I can’t wait to see your Barbie box! .01????? Wow!!!! That’s amazing! Gotta love penny finds! Can’t remember where I got mine. Could have been DG but not for a penny! Thanks for watching and hope you are well! 💕
What a fabulously creative box, loaded with so much fun! The Barbie OCC box is adorable, as well as your personalized card and the gorgeous skirt outfit. She is sure to spend hours enjoying all the love you've put into in, Denise.🤗😊
Thank you Cecilia! I did put so much love into it. I enjoy making each box special, as do you. I pray that it brings her so much joy and opens her heart to the Lord. Thanks my friend! 💕
I love this box! You can tell the time, creativity and love you put into making this box so very special. Miss 5-9 is going to love her box! Thanks for sharing!
Love love love the mini shoebox!! I may have to box lift this idea! I’m pretty sure I have that Barbie drawing thingy too! Very talented making the skirt yourself! I tried to carve out some time this weekend to do a video but my house runeth over with kids everywhere 🤣😭
Thanks Jeannie! Boxlift away! That is the greatest compliment when an idea can be shared. I know you will have plenty of them when you do get up and running. No rush...I understand the busy Easter household. Ours was busy too!
