Don’t feel like you have to rush the videos, can never get bored watching you and your dad. 😁 Hi Cheapchick dad, great to see you again. Another good video Melissa 😘🇬🇧
I wish I had as good of a relationship with my dad that you have with yours, can I rent him from you for a weekend?? Cherish him and tell him and your mom that you love them every single day!♡♡
Just love Dad in videos. He is like a lil kid on Christmas lol. Always so excited. Such a happy n fun dad. You are a blessed family. Miss my dad. He passed away 11/12/17
Your Dad is so enthusiastic, and so cute....Most men could care less about things from crafts stores!!! You both sound like you have an amazing relationship very heart warming to see!!
I love when you have your dad on. I don’t have a dad, so I always tell my son… in my next life if I have one I want one like yours! I see where you get your shining personality and positive outlook. My son (14) adores you guys too.
Glad to see your dad back. You can tell he is having so much fun. Thanks for showing the boxes. Decided to pass on them this year. Don't have any more space for stuff. Enjoying vicariously through you guys!
You made my day...don't be quiet dad...I love your comments. Look at all you got....wish I lived near you I would buy some. Your a super great dad, Melissa is lucky to have you. Mine have passed on and I'm glad Melissa shares you both with us all 😀😊.🐶 Paco too. Love to all.
This literally is my happy place, your channel. You always make me smile. Been hitting different video's to watch daily,hee hee. Also,I love when your daddy,asks you if his box or things in them are better than what you had,hee hee. Simply adorable both of you. ☺❤☺
The thread from the 1st box was embroidery floss. The themed pkgs of stickers are scrapbooking supplies for making pages for a scrapbook. The morphs are soft pellets that you squeeze, shape or mold to make things out of. They will dry out and stay in the shape if you leave them to air dry for a few days, or when you're done playing with it you can break it back up again and make new things. Compressing them together is what makes them hold together. I think it's difficult to keep it from drying out though, that's probably why it was a relatively short fad when they came out. I have to say I really enjoy these videos because it's opening a surprise, so I get the fun and excitement of it, but then I don't have to clean it all up or find a place to put it all. Your Dad is a hoot! 💜 The make your own jewelry is Swarovski crystals which can be expensive.
Thank you so very much! So glad you enjoyed it. You can for sure live vicariously through me. Lol. The mess after these us crazy. I've gotten better now to clean up after each box. Makes things so much easier. I totally played with 2 of those morphe things. It was fun but the smell of them was totally like bleach right when you opened it. Had to wash my hands right after. Thanks for watching!
Hahaha. You guys were extra cute in this video. Mellisa trying to just move along while Dad is checking the details on each item. “I can do this Dad...” 😄 love you guys, and some more great stuff in these boxes!
I love your channel! I also love the great relationship you have with your dad. I miss mine everyday. Looking forward to watching more of you opening stuff.. 😊😊
Always fun to see you and your Dad. Some of those puffy stickers people use for scrapbooking.I use the tulle for wrapping gifts and the black and white plaid ribbon I use at Christmas and year around to tie bows around clay pots and vases for gifts. The wood signs are very in for farmhouse Christmas deco, anyway wow 5.00 you cant go wrong!
I just love this video with your Dad.... but dad got a lot more stuff than you did Melissa! Dad you are the best and so happy and make me so happy! You get so excited and I love that so much! Great video and made my day! I think you got the best stuff! Keep smiling!
Just enjoyed watching this episode. Great father-daughter time. Your dad needs his own crafting channel. I would love to see what he does with the stuff he took.
Just come across your videos and your dad is just so wholesome. The way he refers to your mum (I’m British) as mummy (mommy) is adorable. And the “I’ll take one” 😂
Wow the beard 🧔 is almost fully back! I went and picked up eight bags my stores weren’t doing boxes and you get more in the box. One store of the two I went to the associate gave a bag and said fill it up! He was doing the bags. I will do my video soon , I think that I got A ton of elves lol .Much love 💖💖💖
You have so much buffalo check ribbon.... You could do a black and white wedding. Supper fun! But that is such a popular design that you will be able to sell it really quick! Love your dad!
@@TheCheapChick someone was thrilled with that buy! It's good you can let go so easy! I'm a bit of a craft horder. I would have a hard time letting the stuff go. Thus I watch the videos but try to stay away from the grab bags.
Melissa, I know you were trying your best to get through the 6 boxes, but I really enjoyed watching the interaction between you both, your dad was so excited with some of the items, it was so sweet. Thanks so much for this Part 2 👍🏼.
Love the boxes where I live we don’t have that store. When I was little we use to use those wooden pins to hang clothes outside (clothes pins) sometimes I miss hanging clothes outside during the summer time.
Some incredible finds this time! Absolute bargains! Love how you hurry your Dad along before he has gotten really hyped about something 😂 bless him 😂 you guys are hilarious 😆❤️ much love to you and Dad (and Mom) ❤️❤️
Before watching you Melissa, I didn't know there were these types of bags & boxes! Now I'm so ready to try & grab them in the future!! Thx a bunch!! BTW yep! Kim here..lol. And I love how you & your Dad hang out. Very nice.
Thank you so very much! If you follow the freebie guy on Instagram he always gives the heads up in his stories when they are coming out. They really are awesome boxes.
Crafty tip, put round closed pins in the pine cones, attach fishing line and thread beads to them, do that to a bunch of pine cones and secure to a circular key ring, and hang in the garden! The circular knitting needle is perfect for knitting a tube!!! The sausage dog /wiener dog picks are so cute!!! Talking of cut, your dad does make me smile with his excitement!!! Xxxx
I don't know if anyone else does this or not. But when I see your videos, I like them right away...cause I know I'm going to love them. Love all your videos sweet girl.😆
I really enjoyed watching you both today, thank you so much for sharing and sharing your dad he is a very nice man and love how he shows his excitement once again thanks for the smiles and making me laugh. nice haul
