For those of you interested, I opened the Lite Brite glow board and I would NOT recommend it. I’ll be returning the other two I purchased. Hope that helps!
Your “Dollar Tree withdrawal” comment made me smile!😊. I hope all your withdrawal symptoms have been eradicated with this dandy shopping trip!😊. Thanks, Denise.
lol…. The withdrawal was real!😂😂😂I went back today! 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️😂
Ah that diva Dino book is so cute!! 😍 I need to find one for my girl Dino box! 💗 And the axolotl one, too! Thanks for sharing all these fun finds. So glad you can get out again! 🤗🎉
Thank you Kelly! It feels good to be able to shop again! Now I just have to watch my spending! 😂
Welcome back! We continue to pray for your complete recovery. I hope Dollar Tree is paying you for these videos! You do valuable promotion for them!
Thank you so much Lisa! 😂😂😂 No, DT does not pay me. I love finding nice things for OCC and sharing! I always hope it helps everyone know what to look for! And thanks for your prayers… I’m still in physical therapy for another month so prayers are welcome until this hip feels more natural!
Oh my goodness that was fun stuff. Welcome back. I should have watched this when my $ Tree was open!! No, this saved me money since it was closed. 😂
😂😂😂Now that I can go.. I need to have more self-control!!!! 😂
Good to see you are out and about! I bought some of those RockemSockem toys. I love that soft snuggle fabric...I will be keeping my eye out. The new baby items are cute too. Thanks for sharing ☺️
Wow Barbie santa hat!
Thanks Kim! Hey, I found a space journal for you if you would like it! Lmk!
Fantastic haul. I always get excited when you go out shopping. I get many ideas for my boxes. Thank you so much. I have enjoyed all your videos and looking forward to next year❤
Thank you so much! I get excited too! Lol… I just have to watch my spending! Lol
So happy you are free to get out again. Happy shopping, and thanks for sharing!!!!
You are so welcome! It feels good to be out again! ❤️
Fun to have the freedom to drive again! you got some great items. I love the books and coloring books. I want to read “The elephant Whisperer”, sounds so cute. Also thought the hats idea was great, will have to look for some cute hats. That fabric is so pretty; I was thinking it could also be a cute blanket to wrap a baby doll in. TFS
The fabric could definitely be used for a baby blanket! Just today I found a snuggle fabric at DT that I’m definitely making a baby swaddle with. I also found more of the minky fabric. Happy girl to be out and about again! 🥰
So glad you are able to be out and about more and for sharing all your OCC finds.
Me too! I even went back k today!🤦🏻♀️😂But I’m slower than I use to be!
Glad you are on the mend! Thanks for the walk through. I always buy those mini pouches. So I will need to pick those up. The Christmas socks look great! I really like those Faith books too. The llama coloring book and Purple bear are super cute. The classic games looks great. I'm not familiar with watercolor pencils either. I get the DT withdrawal! Great haul in the end. Very cool train mega blocks and Barbie Santa hat. The bunny material looks great quality. Pretty Barbie dresses. Lol, I'm sure DT is happy you are back too! Thanks for sharing, Denise!
I laughed out loud when you said DT is happy to have me back too. I bet they are! I went back today!😂🤦🏻♀️😂
So happy for you that you’re feeling better 🎉
Thanks Marie! I’m so happy to be able to shop again! 🥰
So wonderful to hear that you are able to drive and get out again! You sound great, and I hope that you are feeling great, too!! I wish the Dollar Tree stores in my area (Orlando) were like yours. It appears that your area stores are very neat and are larger -- or at least have much more stock. But, occasionally, I find a couple of items in your videos, and it's very helpful. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much! It feels good to feel like a normal human again! Lol… still limping a bit and it still feels strange but happy to get out again! I visit a couple of DT’s for these videos. The one closest to my house is pretty small but they are very good about getting stock out. Some are terrible! I’m glad it helps a little! I went back k today and found Tangled Pets! They are soooooo cute! Be on the lookout!
Love the Christmas story book. So colorful and perfect for a gospel opportunity box. Also really like the axolotl and new llama coloring book. Oh wow, you found some awesome new story books! Yes, that positively purple book definitely would have been perfect for my color purple shoebox this year. Don’t think I could squeeze it in even if I tried. Oh well! I’ve seen the Lite Brite packs, but was hesitant. I was hoping you would open them up during haul, LOL. Love the little blanket you made. That turned out great! So sweet! Fantastic haul! TFS ❤
Well, don’t bother with the Lite Bright. Opened one up and it’s not worth it imo. I actually returned the other two today and threw away the one I opened. Oh well, win some, lose some. The new books are gorgeous! I went back today and found more minky fabric!
@ oh no! Well, that’s disappointing. Thanks for trying it out and letting me know.
This is an awesome video! It’s nice to see all the things. My dollar trees are small so they don’t carry as much. Water color pencils are great and easy to use. You color a small amount on an image and then take a wet paint brush and go over the color and it spreads out the color leaving the color a little darker where you started and the rest a lighter color. They’re great for shading and blending like for flowers etc. the little blanket you made with that soft material is so pretty and just what a small child loves!
Thanks Linda for explaining those water color pencils! Sounds pretty! I went back today and got more of that fabric to make more blankets!!!!😊
Ohhh Denise welcome back to DT! I love those books! Hope I can find them. Those wigs 🤣 love them. And the hats what fun. I’m making one more trip to DT this year. The fabric you sewed would make a great blanket to wrap a small doll. Fun shopping with you.
Thanks Mel! I went back today! 🤦🏻♀️😂But I found more material to make more blankets so I’m happy! 🤗
Nice to see you out and about again, Denise!! Your DT is so nice!! We don't get all the new stuff here in Pittsburgh region. The water color pencils work by drawing a picture with the pencils and just using a wet paint brush to literally brush over different sections and it forms into like a water colored painting. I got some of those minky fabrics too. The socks really are a nice surprise this year!! The backpack coloring books are my favorite because of the stickers. TFS!!
Thanks for explaining those water color pencils! Interesting!!! I went back today!🤦🏻♀️😂Found more cool socks and fabric that I wanted!!! It’s good to be back! lol
Only fitting your first drive out is DT! So happy for you being able to get out again.
The Snoopy hats are adorable. You have so many great coloring books and faith based books.
The board games are really cool looking.
Those stickers are great quality. Beautiful faith based journals!
You grabbed a great haul of things for shoeboxes.
One of my favorites from your haul is the barbie Santa hat...so fun! I love the little sports balls.
Thanks for sharing your finds and haul!💜
Of COURSE my first trip was to Dollar Tree! 🤦🏻♀️😂And I’m soooo excited…DT is opening a new location 7 minutes from my house! I’m definitely in trouble !🤦🏻♀️😂 I love those Christmas hats! I think they are so fun to put on top of a box! DT impresses me with so many nice journals, books and small faith based items. TFW and shopping with me! 🤗
Nice haul, loved the blanket, fyi Deadpool is more for adults, the movies with him were rated r, so i would avoid adding Deadpool to any boxes.
Good to know! I know nothing about Deadpool. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for sharing this haul. I went to my dt yesterday and was able to find some of the Santa hats and Christmas socks. I'm hoping they get in more!
That is awesome! I went back and found another Barbie hat which I love! Thanks for watching! 🩷
So many items that I haven’t seen yet. My DTs are late to the party. 🤦🏼♀️ So glad that you are doing well and have your freedom back. 😊
Thanks Carol! I’m on the hunt again. Me and my new hip!😂 I’m still struggling a bit… almost 8 weeks post-op but being able to drive again is so great! Now I have to really work on healing in the next 3 weeks so I can successfully handle my shifts at the PC!
So glad your recovery went well and you’re back shopping! I totally understand--I had knee surgery 3 1/2 weeks ago and got to go to DT yesterday. So happy! Missed my OCC shopping!
Oh nooo… I’ve heard knee surgery is harder than hip. I’ll pray for you! Yes, the first time back by myself was wonderful! My hubby did take me once around 3 weeks but I was still so sore and stiff. It wasn’t much fun. I’m better now but still sore. Every day a bit better. You will be too! 🙏🏻
@@drogersThank you for your prayers! The first 2 weeks were pretty hard but I’m improving a little each day. I signed up to volunteer at the Dallas PC in 4 weeks so I have a goal that I’m working towards. I love going to the PC!
@joye2835 oh me too! That was my goal! I hope I can stand for long hours by then! I love going too! It’s my happy place! Happy healing!
@@drogersI’ll be praying that both of us make it to the PC this year!!
Thanks for this video!! I saw many of the Christmas coloring and activity books during my last trip, but didn’t see all those wonderfully illustrated books. Oh! I am collecting for a Christmas train box and I love the Polar Express socks! I bet they are for an older boy, though right? That’s the thing about all the really cool socks at DT lately - they are mostly bigger sizes 😕 I love the forever friends wigs too! Perfect for my beauty salon box I am collecting for. Some of those wigs fit the dolls better than the others I have discovered. The fabric is soooo cute and the blanket you made is so nice. It looks so soft and cuddly. Do you ever experience the fabric bags tearing a little bit around the openings for the twine/strings. I have many I have not used for that reason. They need a little repair. So many great coloring books and picture story books!
The Polar Express socks are for children so they would be perfect! I also saw them today on a clip in the plus section do look there also! Hope you find them! I have not experienced tearing with the bags but I’ll keep my eye out for that! The Forever Friends wigs would be perfect for a Beauty Salon theme! I went back to DT today!🤦🏻♀️
So glad that things are progressing so well with you! I've been so busy I haven't been able to go to any of the Dollar Trees other than my local (which is a very small and poorly stocked one) recently. However, even that one has some treasures. For example, for a couple weeks, they had 4 packs of Enchanto underwear for $1.25! Name brand. They were only in size 4, but perfect for a toddler box. Something to look out for. I also found these cute little horses with accessories, fun for filler. I found one box of those table tennis/sports balls in my store, I'm sure more will pop up. I wanna hit around Christmas as I have an Artic Explorer theme I wanna do for next year for a boy 5-9 (based on a Lego set) and Christmas is a good time to get snow/polar bear items. Not really OCC because these were adult socks but if you do donations for say shelters, etc, they also have been stocking nice wool socks at Dollar Tree (also may be useful for a 10-14 box, wool is great for all climates).
I’ve seen the wool socks! The Mossy Oak brand is excellent! I never found the underwear. I think it was popping up before I was able to drive again. I’ve also seen the cute horse with accessories. I’m doing better every day! Still walking with a bit of a limp but incrementally better! I’m just sooo happy to be able to drive again! Woo hoo!!!!
@@drogers Quite possibly, the underwear maybe lasted 2 weeks in my store before it disappeared completely. Given it was only the one size, I assume it was a very limited overrun. Good to know about the socks, I will pick some up. Exciting to get out and about especially with the holidays coming!
Hi Denise, It's great to hear your recovery is progressing so well. And in your idle time, your mind has raced 🏎 into 2025! You have some great ideas. I love the little blanket. So cute! Take Care Speedy Gonzales.🏁
Thank you Fiona! Yes, I’m already planning for 2025… maybe not racing 🏎️ but walking slowly😂😂. I still struggle but a bit better every day!
Glad to see that you’re doing better! I feel you on the Dollar Tree withdrawal haha. Oh I haven’t seen those 3-packs of fabric gift bags before. I’ll have to check out the DT’s that I’ve been avoiding 😆
Those forever friends wigs look interesting too.
Thanks Nicole! Each day is a little better. 🙏🏻 The wigs are funny.😂 definitely check out your Dollar Tree. Great selection as of late!!!
Hi Denise
I finished packing my boxes. For the first time, I made 60 pencil packs to send as filler to my Calgary, Alberta processing center.
Congrats! That is so wonderful to hear! Thank you for packing boxes AND pencil packs! Yay!!!!🥰
@drogers You inspired me. ✨️
THE LITE BRIGHT NEEDS A BATTERY!!
I returned them. They are not great quality imo.
Glad to hear you're out and about again! I love the Psalm books and Bible inspired journals! The 3 in 1 checker board is cool, probably for the older kids. Are you going to print out instructions?
I love those journals too. DT really impressed me with those! I will print out directions for the 3in one game! It feels so good to be able to get out again! Thanks for watching! ❤
