I like the way you prepackaged your bags. Exceptional idea. I think most of us in the OCC community would stress over the boxes that we want so much to be a pathway to Jesus. You have planned well. Your family knows your heart. They will strive to do their best for you. Your boxes will be fine. Best wishes on a fun event.
I did this years ago. However, it was for a class of students whom had my former 6th grade English teacher. She later taught 3rd grade and those were the students that I "spoiled" with clearance toys and school supplies. Every child passed the school year and entered 4th grade because I helped them with a few needs and attention they needed. It felt great!
Good luck, Robynn, with your packing party! Looks like you are so ready for this, and judging by how well you have pre-organized, I am positive that it will be a total success 💯. God bless you and your family for taking all this time to bring the love and Joy of Jesus to the children! I am praying for the packers and the receivers of the gifts ❤️💚❤️
Your packing party is going to be great. You're so organized it will be easy for everyone to put together wonderful boxes. It will be great to see footage b ut don't make yourself crazy. Enjoy the experience.
Try Claire’s too as they often have crazy clearance. The other week I got a x box bottle, pop socket and 7 frozen hair bows - it was 3 sale items for £5. Each item was like £15 each regularly.
Yes every box gets inspected. ❤️❤️We live going every Black Friday to volunteer at the processing center here in Texas. 🎉They don’t make over every box but rather add to half empty boxes and take out restricted items like toothpaste and candy. 😊
Robynn, you've done a wonderful job ! I know it's gonna be great ! Some years, my boxes do not have scissors and I think that's fine. These boxes are full of fun !
I’m glad you commented. When I rewatched my video I realized I called you “Melanie” 🤦♀️ I’m sooo sorry. I know you are Melody. I get my names all mixed up all the time. Please forgive me.
@@mattmanandrobynn Oh no worries kiddo. I get called Melanie all the time. I tell people "you can call me anything...just don't call me late for supper." 🙂
People like me who dont have a ton of items leftover...even we usually have some. We can send the extra to a processing center. But I think it would be special for people to be encouraged tp bring things with them to a packing party. Some people might have extra glue sticks or scissors. They might have an unopened happy meal toy. Or theymight pick up something if they saw this video. Sometime i might even enourage folks tobring their own specially chosenwow gifts.
It @@mattmanandrobynn I think the reason the idea has appeal to me is that it can theoretically help the person attending the party to share of who they are as a person with the receiving child.
So the only thing you did was not put it in the box yourself? 😅 I love you girl. I’m considering having my own packing party this year with my family and friends but I’m SCARED!

It went great!!! I didn’t have any anxiety in the day. It was wonderful to see them all packed.

What a great way to spoil well deserved kiddos.
@@mattmanandrobynn Thank you for including washable pads for girl boxes age 10-14. That helps them out a great deal.

Thank you so much! It was so fun. I’m working on the video right now.
You have put so much time and effort into prepping these bags. Can't wait to see the final product!❤🎉
Me too!! Editing isn’t my norm so it’s taking some time. Lol.
It will be a wonderful and fun birthday packing party!
It was! I’m working on the video right now.
Yours is a different take on a packing party. It’s a great idea! Can’t wait to see the vid.
Coming soon! I don’t normally edit videos so it’s taking more time than usual.
Love all the organization and I hope you share your packing party with us! Sounds like so much fun!!!
I am! I’m editing it this week hopefully will post next week. ❤️❤️

Claire’s is now on the look out list. 👍👍😊
WOW! Some really great things in there! ❤❤❤
Awe thanks, I think so too!
I believe that when they are shipped to the facility that distributes the boxes, the will take out all the contents and make them all over again,

I'm sure your party will be great enjoy the fun also have a very happy birthday
Your friend from New Mexico
I hope so too. I haven’t been this excited about a birthday since I was little. 🤭
Robynn, you've done a wonderful job ! I know it's gonna be great ! Some years, my boxes do not have scissors and I think that's fine. These boxes are full of fun !
Oh this make me feel so much better!!
Amazing! Your family and friends are going to pack to many great shoeboxes 👏 ☺
I hope so! It will be more than I’ve ever turned in. Yikes. 😳
What a great idea on using the little heart pouches for hair items. Glad you could use them.

Can you come organize mine? Seriously, it's gonna be a great birthday get together for you. Let yourself enjoy it.
Hahaha. I’m a bit OCD about Organizing (I might have a problem) 🤪

What a great idea!!! I’ll have to remember the “bring an item” option for my next party.

lol pretty much! It was so much fun though.
Do you happen to be at Global Connect?
No, I know so many packers got to go. ❤️❤️ But I wasn’t there.
