Halloween Box Done

Just a reminder if you haven't entered the Barbie/Fashion Doll Leaflet Giveaway you can check it out here.

I picked a bad day for it, hot and humid, but I put together the Halloween box yesterday. It took me three tries to find the right size box, but it is ready for mailing tomorrow.

I was surprised at how much stuff there was to put in the box. That is why the first two boxes were too small. The afghan took up more space than I had anticipated. Then the toys and books began to fill all the space. Before I knew it, the box was full.

The only doll that is missing an outfit is Stacie. I hope that next year I will get to one for her. I have promised that Skipper will have a Pilgrim outfit this year.

I also had some books and other holiday items I purchased in the post Halloween sales last year. I have present boxes in the attics to keep stuff I buy in advance. I use an Excel sheet to track the stuff and print it out to go attic hunting. It proved helpful yesterday, as there were a few books that were not where I predicted I would find them. Without the list, I am not sure I would have located everything.
