Great job. I have been packing pencil packs using the zippered mesh bags. My stores in Newberry County, South Carolina don’t have the sales you find. That’s okay. I purchase what I find and l pack where I’m planted…..
These are so fantastic, Denise! I made up some Christmas pencil packs as well but I ran out of Christmas pencils and then started on Valentine’s Day ones. ❤. Today, though, Trish found a DT with a bunch of Christmas pencils left so I had her pick up three more packs for me. My DT’s were cleared out. TFS. These are amazing quality fillers!
These are truly a Wow pencil pack. They are so cute. I just recently joined Pencil Granny & Friends and started making pencil packs for filler. My small Dollar Tree never does Clearance, also didn’t have those tins. I need to find a bigger Dollar Tree! Thank you for posting this, it is very inspiring.
I made up some Christmas ones as well - using up the extra things I bought for our kids church kids (5x7 composition books, coloring books/crayons, fidget spinner/popper, Snowman Pencils and Stickers, and elf fling toys - along with all the pencils/pens/erasers/sharpeners). Got 30 for the first 24 challenge from Pencil Granny and friends. So glad I got involved with them, thanks to you bringing light to the need and the great group.
Those sound amazing!!! Great job and I’m so excited to hear you have joined the Pencil Granny & Friends! It’s a fun, and positive group! The kids will love those packs!
Adorable fillers! Thanks to people like you, word is getting out. The most consistent thing I saw during my volunteer time at the PC was pencil packs/pouches. Probably 3/4 of the boxes I touched had them. And some came in filler too... in zipper bags, tennis ball containers, etc. ✏️✏️✏️ ❤️
Hi Denise, These are awesome pencil packs. I love the little Christmas craft kits. And the peak at your pencil pack supplies and organisation. Here in AU it is Back to School season; The new school year starts in Feburary. So, I have been impatiently waiting for the switch over of Holiday to school stock. Got some great online 25-cent deals on pencil pack basics, including pencil cases (bags/pouches). I am looking forward to starting my 2024 pencil packs. TFS ✏️🖊
Wow! It’s so interesting that the school schedule beginning February! Quite different from the US! Oh I bet you’re so excited for those items and deals to come out! I’m still snagging after Christmas clearance! It’s always a fun time to shop! Those little craft kits were such a deal! No glue required and perfect for these! Thanks for watching Fiona!
I've been watching your videos recently. Your voice is so calming. Plus you inspired me to make trips to the store to check out good deals. I usually prepare my OCC boxes around october and spend a lot for ny toys and stuff. Now I'm making sure to always be on the lookout.
These are just wonderful filler packs!! Great start to the new year! I will have to try to get to dollar tree and see if mine has any of those nifty tins on clearance!
You make at least 1000 pencil packs?! That is fantastic!!! I am looking for ways to diversify my OCC efforts. I think getting school notebooks at Back to School sales is an easy way to do that. I also collect plush that is marked down after holidays. You are inspiring me to do more! Thank you!
1000 is my goal and I’m almost there!!!! I love doing fillers too. Back to school composition books are a great idea! Additional plush is always needed too! Thank you for packing filler that will be such a blessing! 🥰
Hi friend and HAPPY NEW YEAR!! As always love your pencil packs! The tins are a very special item! Love that you found a bunch to make these fantastic packs! Not going to lie, every year you inspire me to make pencil packs which I do, but somehow, I give up🤣🤣
JEANNIE!!!! You are back! How’s it going my friend? Happy New Year to you too! Yes, I’m a pencil packing crazy lady but I know how bad it is needed! Let’s chat sometime!
Currently in the process of organizing my shoebox workshop so I won't know what I have in terms of inventory until it is all sorted out. But if it is possible to pack some pencil pouches for filler, I will try to do so.
I've only made one so far for 2024 to try some new bags. Our Christmas company just left so I'll be ready to get going on OCC in a day or two but I'll be missing my 20 month old grandson!
How blessed you are to have a precious grandson! I’m still praying for one! Good luck when you start packing! It’s so fun and so needed! Thank you for watching and commenting!
