We took inventory and made shopping lists. Surprisingly we were only short on a few items and even more surprisingly I have MUCH MORE than I thought I had....so I am scurrying to gather more empty shoe boxes! As soon as we had it all counted and began shopping for items we were short on, I learned from a friend I met online that she was sending me 24 -- yes, 24 -- little dresses! I am excited to see so many more little ones receiving a Christmas gift! Now...off to update the shopping list!

I've been pondering how to organize for the family this weekend. What a great idea to put like items in small baskets. We have lots of extra shoeboxes - from Marshalls - so I could use those! Thank you for the inspiration!
Glad to help, Suzanne! I "inherited" these when AWANA stopped at our church and the office was dismantled--my daughters couldn't stand the thought of them being thrown away so they brought them to Mom. Wondered what I would do with so many. They worked great for little socks, too!
