I know you are wondering where I am but I’m really here, honest. I’m working on some things in the background that I’ll be able to show you soon. In the meantime I’m absolutely stunned about the response to my little photo book. Gosh, this is just the icing on the cake – I was sailing high when I opened up the package and then to see all your awesome comments. I’m just glowing with thankfulness today and I hope a small smidgen comes through the screen at you today, mwah!! By the way, I normally leave links to my supplies but I didn’t have the link for Shutterfly. Small world – someone from Shutterfly contacted me and if you want to zoom right in to where I created this photo book just follow this link: photobooks
So, I hit a super duper milestone yesterday – I reached 8 million page hits, and you know what that means!! I thought I would share some goodies with you. I have another one of the EK Success Punches I’ve been giving away in our Double Play – I love those punches!! I also have a yo-yo maker that I hope someone would like to win. They multiplied in my craft room and I have three new ones. Actually for some odd reason I keep coming home with this size when I actually need the smaller size. I’m too embarrassed to take it back because I think I’ve returned this same size two times before – yes, I know I must seem awfully eccentric to the ladies at this craft store.
Leave a comment for me letting me know of something that has come back from the past that has your heart singing or something you never want to see come back. For example I was in heaven when chenille and felting came back but my daughter prays that stirrup pants will never, ever come back again. I love it that being frugal has made a big comeback — somewhere along the line sewing and knitting made a comeback but I’d be okay if "big hair" was gone forever :-) I’m opening comments today – feel free to leave a comment every day through Sunday, July 11 at midnight. Some time after that I’ll pick a winner using Random.org. The winner will have 48 hours to reach out to me through my contact page to claim their prize.
Be blessed friends!!
I hope bell bottom trousers NEVER make a comeback – I may have looked o.k. when I when I was young and skinny, but now……
Owls are my favorite trend that’s come back in style. I’m too young to have experienced the owl trend in the 70’s but I’m so into them now! I started a collection a year ago and have fun looking for them everywhere I shop! :)
As someone who was cursed with stick straight hair, I’d love to see perms come back in style. Big hair. I want to get some body in these boring locks of mine! ha…I know its strange of me, but true!
In these hard times, I too am glad that saving is in fashion. I clip coupons, & shop sales…..anything I can do to save a little. One thing I never want to see come back would be…..poodle skirts! I love them when used as nostaliga, but not for every day! Am I dating myself?
Not only are you generous but hilarious!
I was going to say using coupons for sure, I am a big save type person…always trying to out do my total saved each week.
I would say I don’t want to see tube socks with shorts look come back. I hated when sports teams had that look. ewww
All I can say is that I am so happy bell bottoms have not come back. I did not like them as a teen-ager and I don’t want to see them ever again.
What I would love to see coming back is a cabana chocolate bar they are a coconut bar with cherries all through and covered in chocolate mmmmm………
I’m grateful that gardening is back in style, although I guess that it never went out of style in some parts of the country! I’d love to see kids playing in their neighborhoods come back in style. Seems like everything is so scheduled now!
I’d like for some of the old-time candies to come back, the ones you can’t buy any longer.
Uh oh Becca – I LOVE BIG HAIR! :D LOL
I love felt, it’s so cool and trendy!
Do you remember the flavored lipsticks from the 70s? The peach and peppermint were pretty and tasted so good. Love to see them come back.
I hope spike heels go out of style and never come back!
not sure if it’s a comeback but I’m learning how to do quilling. Think they will make an awesome addition as embellishments…. thanks for the opportunity to get some blog candy
The clothes, makeup and hairstyles from the late 80’s. Talk about fashion faux paux!!! :)
I would like to see the Green Stamps and Gold Bond Stamps come back. You know the ones that you collect at the grocery store with each purchase and then fill these little books with them, and then when you have enough completed books you can shop and get something for “free!” I still have a table lamp that I bought YEARS ago with them.
Knitting and crochetting are back , however, I hope granny square hats and ponchos stay in the past.
I would love to see ladies hats come back in fashion. The style of hats they wear for the Kentucky Derby
I would really hate to see those shiny polyester dresses come back from the 70″s, also rotary dial telephones.
I absolutely love your creations. They are so so elegant.
Kathy
I remember the white-ish lipstick that was the “in thing” when I was in my teens. I so wanted to wear it – but my Mom would not let me. As I look back, Mom was the one with the better taste!
Congratulations on the milestone and the book Becca. We all sure do love ya.
Hmmm, what don’t I ever want to come back. How about those wonderful tail shirts of the 80’s.
And something that I’d love to see come back is inexpensive gas prices lol
I hope the pop pop hair style never come back man I hate to see myself in pictures when I was little thanks Becca for a chance to win
Please NO stirrup pants! EVER!!!!
I love that some of the crocheting I use to do with thread is now gaining popularity but I could definately do without bell bottom pants!
Thanks for the chance to win and congrats on the blog hits!
Oh, I love being frugal. That’s a much better word than cheap which is usually what I refer to myself as. I thought it was fun when the crocheted flowers made a comeback. I used to crochet and got out my supplies and just can’t seem to make one that I like now. But I’ll still keep trying. I’d like to see more needlework, like embroidery, make a comeback. You offer the best prizes, Becca. Thanks so much for your generosity.
I hope the big square collars come back in style and I hope real short tops that don’t even come to your waist don’t.
Congratulation, what a milestone indeed! You can be proud of yourself.
What a generous blog candy you are offering. I’d love to win this one. I don’t want bell bottom pants to come back, but I did like the stirup pants. I would want them to come back either as I have more knees than I use to have and that would look terrible!
I really don’t think it will ever go out of style, but family is the best. I hope it never goes out of style.
gardens and delish veggies
Your blog is so much fun and I now have bits of paper all over the floor.
Using the punches in a new way
Hugs
Becky
Hey Becca, no blog candy please, I’ve got enough . . . LOL! I just wanted to leave a little love and tell you your book is absolutely “fabulous” darling! Truly, it’s gorgeous and I love it! I also had to leave a response to this post as well. Please NO return of goucho pants ever!! I look back at those old photos of me and nearly die of embarrassment! Big Hugs, Jerri
I hope that polyester leisure suits never come back! LOL….I can still see my dad in a light blue one he had when I was in high school. I would love to see kids playing outside again, and away from tv, computers, etc. As a kid in the summer, we headed outside right after breakfast, and didn’t come in except to take potty breaks or eat! LOL Congrats on your blog, Becca!
I would love to see “freebies” in the laundry soap. My Mom was always getting glasses, dish towels, & dishes. I would love the Big hair days. Always ro be gone is knee hi’s and shorts! yuk!
Congrats to your fabulous milestone!
Yvonne
I love that handmade/homemade is on trend gain and not frowned upon for being stingy, but perms and balloon skirts can stay in the better forgotten part of history for me!
Thanks for your generosity,
Alex
Avocado and Harvest Gold appliances! Ugh! I’d really like to stick with white forever, but will probably have to go with stainless when our over-worked fridge, stove and dishwasher give out. Congrats on the 8 million!! That’s a BIG number!!
I hope that men’s hat come back in fashion. It would be much healthier and they look nice too.
I’d also like to see patience come back in style. Everyone seems so much in a hurry that they are not willing to wait for anything or anybody.
Congrats on the milestone Becca…..I too am happy that being frugal has made a comeback, but I have always been a saver and coupon clipper. I also love that more people are taking recycling seriously and doing their part to be more green. I see my neighbors that have never recycled at the recycle center and it makes me soooo happy.
I hope Disco NEVER makes a comeback. Sorry to all the Disco lovers.
I would really hate to see those big, face-consuming sunglasses come back into fashion. UGH!
Smiles~
Marilyn
PS. Congrats on 8 MILLION hits!
Shoulder pads! Ugh!!
We thought they were so cool at the time.
I hope men’s leisure suits or harvest gold appliances never come back!
WOW – the candy looks awesome…
what i wouldn’t like to see come back – lycra cycling shorts – don’t think they looked good on me first time never mind now…. what WOULD i like to see come back – ABBA!!! Then it would be really trendy to know all the words to their songs!!!
Paula x x x
I would love to see hand written thank you notes come back in style. Letting someone know how much they appreciate a gift would be wonderful. I do not want the starchy slips (criniline)(spelling???) come back. What a pain it was to starch my half slips to make the gathered skirts fan out. Love when you do these blog give a ways, not for the gifts but the comments. Of course I would love to win this set of goodies. I need it all including the yo yo maker.
Have great week!

Hi Becca,
I’m happy to see the comeback of the little knitted/crocheted flowers. I crochet so guess I should get to work on that. However, I donated all of my yarn to the Senior Citizen place up the road. Didn’t think I’d need it. I am into paper now. The joke’s on me. Have to talk to Mom or my BFF for their extras. This falls in to the “frugal” category, too, I think. Beautiful work. You’re amazing.
Peace, Becky Johnson
Happy to see people going green and recycling more.Congratulations on your book and thanks for the chance to win.God Bless
I’m so happy to see frugal come back too even though I never forgot to use my coupons (that meant more $$ for stamping). I never want to see hot pants come back in style. They may have been ok back when but now the ladies need to cover more up.
CONGRATS on yourmilestone & book and thanks for the chance to win some blog candy..
I hope the mulet never comes back, there is a family member who just got rid of it. He would never let it go if it came back LOL
My cancer is gone and I hope it NEVER comes back.
Once again Becca, thank you for such a wonderful opportunity for more blog candy.
On my part, I save wherever and whenever I can by clipping those coupons out of the Sunday paper; but there is one thing that I hope doesn’t make a come-back and that is those bell bottom pants with fringe on the bottom, tight skirts, also go-go boots made famous by Nancy Sinatra. Hope to never see them again.
ColleenB.
Wow! What a milestone. But you really deserve it!!! Oh my, what would I like to see come back. Well, I have to admit that most of you have said a lot of things I would like to see come back, as well as what I would like to see disappear or never come back. I hate stilleto heels. I love that frugality has returned, caring about our environment! I also love that gardening has made a comeback. What I would love to see make a comeback is modesty and the Gibson girl look. I loved that look and know it must give my age away. I am 72 years young.
I do like the fact that lots of things come back around every 20 years or so……….but please not the style of the 80’s I cringe every time I see photo’s, movies, video clips featuring this style.
Congratulations Becca on over 8,000.000 an amazing accomplishment for an amazing talented you.
hugs……………Baukje
ps your book is outstanding, what a lot of work you put into it in such a short time.
i’d like to see boys in their baggy pants with their underwear hanging out disappear!
and i’m glad to see that we are becoming a less “disposable” society again. i don’t think i ever want to darn a sock again, but ……..lol!
thanks for the chance at some great blog candy!
sandyh
Congratulations Becca! A trend I’d like to see disappear is rap music. It’s not music, it’s angry and disrespectful to women. Hope big shoulder pads don’t back from the 40’s and 80’s.
I would like to see the low cut jeans and the really baggy jeans go out of style…like NOW! Would be fun to have the corner drugstore with the soda fountain come back in! Congratulations Becca!!! And, thanks for the chance to win….sure want that zig zag stamp look!
Jan Castle
I see someone listed quilling. I worked on that craft years ago and now cuttlebug has a new tool and cutting patterns for the paper and even the different flowers. Awesome –very easy to use. Love the look of the blog candy and so many hits. Doesn’t surprise me though I hit on it alot. Awesome work .
I am very happy to see the return of lace ribbon and crocheted flowers to use on handmade cards. Thank you for the opportunity to win some yummy looking candy. Take care.
I would like to see cars like they had in the 50’s – actually I would like to re-do the 50’s. It was such an innocent nice time to live. Yeah, I could do that again. Of course I was a kid so it was probably better for me than my parents — hmmmm I wonder…
I’m glad that garage sales made a comeback
Kudos to you, Becca, for “throwing?” that book together. It is beautiful and what a gift to yourself!! You can be proud to display it on your table.
Capri pants and peddle pushers!! I didn’t like them when they were in fashion and I still don’t like them…………….The art of the hand written letter or thank you note. Kids today text way too much and they can’t spell. Remember when handwriting was an art form? I think that’s why I love making handmade cards. I am able to express my thoughts in writing and it is something that lasts.
Rebecca
I’d really like more of the classy clothing to get back in style, like what Jackie Kennedy wore in the 50-60s.. I’d loved to live in those decades, with the beautiful wiggle dresses and everything.. :)
What I would like to see leave us and never reappear again is the sagging pants on men and boys. I remember my nephew “a surfer” in the early 70’s weaing his pants with about three inches of his boxers showing at the waistband. Now they are showing the hemlines on the legs of boxers instead of just a couple of inches of the top.
Tricia
I would sure love to see the old time “family values” return – you know, courtesy, tv shows without all of the violence, cursing, etc., leaving your doors unlocked and your car windows rolled down. Back to how things used to be in the “good old days”. Thanks Becca for the chance to win.
Congratulations, what a huge milestone, but I’m not surprised your blog is so inspiring!
I would love the chewing gum with the “liquid” centre to come back, I can’t remember what it was called though, especially the cinnamon flavour, delicious.
I don’t ever want those puffy jackets that looked like heavy quilted sleeping bags to come back. I think they were called “puffer jackets”
Warm, but not attractive at all.
wouldnt be upset if we never went back to bell bottom jeans, bubblegum music, big shoulder pads, and big hear
Hello from Ukraine
I may not have everything clear – but the question I would like to return to the past?
Fashion for me is not important – important to make it!
And I want u to come back the food, which use less chemical additives.
I’m so happy that being a stay at home Mom is acceptable again~~my daughter was a career woman who traveled all over the world and when Annie was born she never hesitated to give it all up to be a mother. I was so proud of her!
I’m loving the trend to all manner of hand-made flowers. And because I am of an age when tie dye was so cool I want it to stay gone forever. Hated it then, hate it now. However, I have seen a few pieces of it lurking around here and there. SHUDDER!!!!! Congratulations on 8 MILLION hits Becca! Oh my goodness!!!!
Congratulations!
I totally hope that mauve never makes a comeback. I saw enough mauve in the 80’s to last a lifetime!
Congrats on the 8 million milestone and the book Becca, I never hope that mullets make a comeback. Goodies look great. I too have a small problem when going to my craft store…I keep buying the wrong size corner punch !!!!!! One day I will get it right…..
Hi Becca!!!!
Congratulations for everything!!! 8 millions hits??? You deserve !!! Your work is so creative and you´re so talented. I am here at least once in a day!!
I wish to live at the same country as you to be easier to get this bookand the magazines where you show your work.
As Shirley, I also would love to see hand written thank you notes come back in style. Letting someone know how much they appreciate a gift or how much you love them would be wonderful.
Thanks for this opportunity!!! Who knows??? Hope never die, don´t you think so???
Have great week and a marvellous week end.

Something that has come back, after nearly 40 years, is a best friend from school. I thought we’d lost touch so many years ago (and we did), but it doesn’t feel that way. Feels like just a few weeks. But with her and my kids grown we know better. She’s like a sister, and I never intend to lose touch again! Small town America at it’s best!
loved the book so stunning. what i hope never comes back are those awful leisure suits made of polyester from the 70’s. argh! jsut noticed i’m not alone in this post. go ahead and add shag carpetting too. eeeeeeeeeew
I certainly hope the days of no electricity never come back! I guess the people back then just didn’t know the difference, but we sure do now!
Well I hope the ringing telephone never comes back. I remember when we were small that my parents phone rang really loud….we spent a lot of time in the front and back yard either doing yard work, growing veggies or playing softball or basketball, so the ringer on the phone was on high. That shrilling ring still makes me cringe. The phones of today sound like music!!! Thanks for the chance of blog candy. You’re the best Becca!! Teresa E. in S. California
I don’t ever want to see knickerbocker pants come back *ugh* Thank you for the opportunity to win, your blog candy is always amazing.
Hi, Becca. I loved your book, and congratulations on 8 million! Wow! I agree with Tania about the mullets!
I love your blog candy, I need it! I’m Queen of a Red Hat Society group, (crown) and my vice-queen loves fleur-de-lis! I would like to see my children come back to God. I would never like to see the 17-year cicadas come back, and they’re due back this month! Yikes! Virtual hugs!
I love owls and trees and am glad they are in style! I ope they stay for a while.
I wish all over and really large tatoos and body piercing (minus ears) would disappear. They so detract from a person’s appearance. I end up staring at it instead of seeing the person.
Hi Becca,
something I never want to come back is the memory of my partner being dragged out of the surf unconscious and being worked on by the life savers for 40 minutes with CPR and heart starters until the paramedics arrived, he actually died on the beach and was revived. A week in ICU and a long time to get back to normal he is now 100%.
Someone was looking out for us that day.
Thanks Becca Rene xo
I am so happy knitting is back. With great-grandchildren coming right and left, I am making all kinds of sweaters, caps and booties. It is so nice to have so many yarns and colors to choose from, and they are available nearby and online, something that wasn’t available a few years back. What I hope never comes back is the clunky, clod-hopper, square-toed shoes of years back. The new styles make any leg look better. I may not wear stilletto heels, but at least thin heels are out there.
I’d hate to see olive green shag carpet return–ugh!!
Congratulations on hitting such a whopper of a number. I certainly don’t miss mohair sweaters or poor boy shirts.
stamp on…
Polyester clothes are at the top of my list, right above leisure suits–the 80’s was real bad for fashion. Congrats Becca –love you creations
I love that home gardening and preserving food is making a come back, my daughter was so proud last week that she canned 14 quarts of green beans from the garden. I hope teased hair and excessive eye make up never makes a come back!
No go-go boots please! Or Leg Warmers! Makes me laugh–love reading all your comments. Thanks for the chance to win.
Bring drive-in’s back……
I Love Ya…
Hi Becca. I’m not surprised at the 8 million hits. Your work is beyond gorgeous! I am waiting for good manners to come back into fashion. And personal responsibility. And consideration for others. All the best. Jane
I am so glad that quilting is making a comeback! My grandmother taught me how to quilt…my mother never learned. I really enjoy quilting…it is so relaxing. It is one of my favorite past times. Of course stamping is one of those favorites too!
Thanks for the opportunity to win some yummy blog candy!
I wish pretty shoes would come back, they all seem to look orthopedic! LOL!
I’m sorry that short, shorts came back. Girls need to cover their behinds…congrats on the 8,000,000 hits!! I’ll have to check out the book–was on vacation!
I wish they would make movies like they used too — you know the Rock Hudson/Doris Day/Cary Grant, John Wayne type. It seems like nowadays they can’t make a movie without gore!!!
Congrats on 8 millions hits but it really shouldn’t be a surprise! Your cards are awesome and I love your tutorials. You voice is so soft and instructions so precise.
Can you tell, I LOVE YOUR BLOG! Would love to win your candy!
Keep on stampin’!!!!!!
Big hair – definitely!!!
Hi Becca
Love your book with all your beautiful creations.
I would love to see my grandparents again, I miss all the family stories they use to tell us as when we where youngsters.
Hugs
Donna
Congratulations Becca! I think about a million of those hits were mine….I look at your blog at least once a day :-)
I, too, would like to see hand-written invitations and thank yous make a comeback.
I am really glad that the pleated front “bow-tie” shirts are gone….ew.
Don’t ever bring back those ‘madris’ shirts…they bled all over everything so had to be handwashed and then IRONED…Diane McBryde
I wish bodies that are too bare would go out. Ladies evidently have not looked in the mirror before they leave the house by the way they look. Fat women in skimpy clothing. UGH! Is anything uglier? I too, am glad for the “less is more” look at life. I enjoy being frugal and making do with less. Keeping my credit card balance at zero and the bank balance in the black by a nice amount. And it’s not like we make boo coos of money at our house! I do love all your creations, Becca. Someday I hope to have lots of card making supplies. I’m slowly collecting!
I’m glad crafts like crocheting have made a comeback among some people. I hope I never see espadrille sandals that tie around your calves again. I cringle when I see pictures of my teenaged self wearing them.
I hope big shoulder pads never return. It made me look like a robot. I like the movement to “use what you have to create new things from older items”and including old fashioned items like crochet flowers in paper crafting projects.Thanks for the chance for your “treats”.
I’m hoping that bell bottoms never make a come back!
I was skeptic when Capri Pants came on the scene. I remembered the old “peddle pushers”, and wasn’t thrilled to see them come back. Now, of course, I love them. I have so many pairs I won’t even tell you how many. I love capri pants, and I really hope they don’t go out of style again anytime soon. I’m too old to wear shorts so capri pants are wonderful.
It was so much fun to read some of the other responses. I actually like bell bottoms. They are in style now and just called flares. They actually make your hips look smaller. I also liked shoulder pads – something else that made your lower half look smaller. Bring them on!!!!!!!! I too would like hats to make a comeback – Oh well that will never happen. I also read about candy. Oh all those great penny candies.
Thanks for the opportunity.
I miss the days when I could eat anything and not worry about it!
Got to agree with the bell bottom comments. Loved those and “hot pants” when I was young and thin, but–oh my, not today!
I hope bell bottom pants and tangerine kitchens never come back. Thanks for a chance at the blog candy and congrats on your 8 million hits. You know that is no surprise to any of us.
Congratulations on 8 MILLION hits, Becca! Your book was absolutely awesome! I am happy to see that handmade items are totally in demand again! Love all the beautiful flowers and stitching and crocheting going on! Also love the focus on home and family! I won’t mind if culottes, palazzo pants, and curly perms don’t ever make it make on the scene! Thanks for the chance at the fantastic blog candy and also for sharing your incredible artistic talent every day!
I would like to have back: my 16 years, when I was married for 35 years and we are together.
Magali
May leisure suits rest in peace! LOL Love your site. We are now carrying JustrRite stamps because of your work:) One of our customers sent me your link and I fell in love with your stuff instantly. You are so talented!
Oh, Becca, 8 MILLION hits!! WOW!! I’m not surprised, your talent sure deserves it :) Congratulations!!
I would not like to see a return of hot pants or disco clothes!
Thanks for the chance to win your awesome blog candy. I’m always coming home with the same things I already have in my stash, too! Guess that means we really like them :)
~Rachel in Sacramento
I am glad to see home canning of foods has made a come back. Last week a friend and I canned 33 quarts of bread and butter pickles – the first time in our lives either one of us had ever canned anything. Your blog is so great, Becca, and your work is beyond beautiful. Congratulations on 8 million hits.

Congratulations Becca :)
Have been admiring your work for a while now – all the way from Sri Lanka :) …
I love skinny jeans & hope they’re here to stay!
And I SO wish we would have craft stores here locally – so I don’t have to order online :'(
I’m thrilled that capris ( pedal pushers ) are back ! A middle aged woman loves to be able to classily hide those thunder thighs !!
Uhmmmm – I NEVER want to see any of my old boyfriends come back!!!
By the way – love your style, so impressive and so inspirational!
Dear Becca, I never want to see poverty come back to our country like it did in the depression and I’d like to see more production and manufacturing jobs come back. As for fashions, I never thought double knits would be popular again , yuck, but they seem to be again, I hate polyester and I love cotton anything. I’d like to see ladies hats be popular again so I would not nook so weird when I want to wear one!! Especially if my hair is a little dusty because I’ve been crafting all day and need to run to town for something. Your book is very exciting!!
One thing I would never want back are macrame plant hangers or hanging tables. When this was “really in” back in the 70’s I made so many for freinds and family I am sure I was knotting in my sleep. No more!!!
I get such a kick out of peasant blouses in the stores now and also peace signs. Too funny! It really is true that what goes around comes around again. If I’d only known…
congratulations becca on the HUGE hit number! wow!
I am forever grateful that HOT PANTS and SIZZLE PANTS never made a comeback…
HOT PANTS were bad enough..but those SIZZLE outfits were horrendous…even for the girls with the beautiful figures…
Congrat, what a milestone indeed! It would be good to see movies like they used too make, you know all the wonderful stars like John Wayne, Doris Day, Dean Martin and his sidekick Frank. It seems like now, they can’t make a movie without gore!
Your Sister In Christ:
I hope ugly polyester double knit patterned dresses and men’s leisure suits never come back in style. I would like to go back to the easy going relaxed way of life we had back in the fifties when I was growing up (of course then I wouldn’t have your wonderful blog to read).
This was so fun reading all the comments. I remember every end of summer getting all of the green stamps together and all of us would sit around the kitchen table pasting them in books. Then we would take the books to the shoe store and get our new Buster Brown school shoes!!!
When we were kids, on the weekends we would play cards with Mom. Well, here it is and we get together about every 6 weeks for ‘card night’ with all 3 generations! Love it!!
WOWZERZ!!!! Congrats on 8 million hits!!!! How amazing is that!!!! Things that are making a comeback that I LIKE: homecookin! The economy has more of us eating in I think and meal time is becoming family time again and I love that. Handmade ANYTHING! Again, I think it has to do with the economy but I would so much rather have a handmade gift than a store bought one.
Never want to see again….parachute pants, super tall hair that I have to use a can of hairspray to acheive and my ex!!!!!
I would like to see all the credit card debt disappear and people start living within their means. Do we all really need the big house and the nice cars in the driveway and a housefull of stuff. I would like to see a more minimalistic way of life come back where people value what they have and take care of instead of buying more and more. (Well except for stamps and scrapbooking stuff of cousres.) LOL.
Congratuations on your milestone. You do fabulous work.
Congratulations on the 8 million hits!! That is a huge milestone! You deserve it! You are so talented and creative and I am so thankful you share it with us. I never ever want to see polyester again. I am glad that being thrifty and making do with less is in. We have always lived that way though. I wish that values, manners and caring about others would come back – I’m so tired of Me, Me Me! Thanks for the chance to win your awesome blog candy.
Su C.
What a great milestone!! I really love your blog – your creativity is just astounding! I would love to see the come back of Christian morality to our country. Leggings and avocado kitchen appliances can stay gone forever! Thanks for you, Becca!
I wish some of the extra pounds I’ve gained would go away and never come back!
Your blog and card projects are always so beautiful. Thanks for all you share. I look forward to seeing your bog everyda! Glenda J
LOL! This is a funny one to think about! I happen to be one of those people who likes big hair and I do wish it would come back! LOL!! But, I know it won’t. I absolutely HATE the hairstyles of the past number of years. I just don’t look good in them so I would love to be able to get a good perm and layered cut! LOL!! I haven’t had one in too many years.
I wish Mars Bars would come back…I so loved the almonds scattered throughout the nougat center…yummmm!
And, I have to LOL at Sally for the ex-boyfriend comment…hilarious!
Definitely don’t bring the mullet hair style back!
8 MILLION?? Wow! Congratulations, that is quite a milestone. I’m glad crocheting is back “in” again. So many pretty yarns and new patterns.
I was watching clips of some of the old NBA basketball players. Boy, am I glad those awful short shorts they wore for uniforms are not the typical uniform for today’s players. Now they wear them down to their knees! I can’t decide which is worse! Pants on the ground is as bad as the tight tights some wear today! :)
I Loved your book!!! Congratulations on your milestone!
I got something wonderful back that I lost 20 years ago. When I got a divorce I had to lose contact with a very sweet friend and her young children, her husbannd would have made her life extremely difficult.
She recently divorced and we have reconnected, I now see what a wonderful mother she was and I can see how the girls are now, something I had always wondered about. I now feel like I have a part of my family back!
OMGosh! I am so glad “bermuda” shorts are back in….that is the longer length (knee) otherwise I wouldn’t be wearing shorts. I definitely do not want to see teased hair come back in style!!!! Thanks, Becca, for all of your inspiration….whenever I lose my mojo I can always come to your blog and find it again :)
Hey Becca! Great book and I already told you I love shutterfly. Now for something I would love to see come back….it was before my time, but I do love poodle skirts, with the big full slips. They are so cute. We do a thing called the “Hallelujah Hop” at church about every three years and it envolves wearing ’50’s’ attire. It is so much fun. Thanks for the chance to win great candy.
I love that capris are back in style–so much more attractive than short shorts – which I would love for them to go away and never come back along with mini skirts–just not flattering for most people!
Shag carpet…the colors harvest gold, avocado…especially combined with shag carpet…beehive hairdos…anything to do with the Roaring Twenties…smoking in public places…Oh dear, I had better stop on what I never want to come back again!
Hi Becca! I am glad the Peace sign is back in style but wish that yellow smile face would never come back! he he he! thanks for the chance to win GREAT candy! :) hugs, Jane
I don’t want to see gaucho pants come back or hip huggers either. It was okay in my youth but certainly not now. :)
Great job 0n the photo book….I love it. thanks for the chance at the blog candy.
Thank you for another chance to win some goodies. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again is my motto LOL! Congrats on all the hits!
I must say I have enjoyed watching the Little House on the Prairie series with my daughter this past year or so. She just LOVES the show (was a pioneer for Halloween) and I have so enjoyed revisiting it myself. I dearly wish they would produce morally sound shows like that these days!!!! Michael Landon wasn’t too hard to look at either LOL!
WOW!!!! I guess, I would say, I would never want to see “hard times” come back! I grew up poor. My family consisted of my mother and 3 siblings! No, I wouldn’t want to go back to eating “Velvetta” cheese or ANYTHING like it! :( Having to eat what you don’t like just because that’s all there is!
What I would like to see COME BACK? I agree with someone ahead of me, TRUE CHRISTIAN VALUES for our country! That starts with INDIVIDUALS!
Now, TO GET what I want to see come back? Yep, It takes HARD TIMES!!!!! That’s just HOW things work!!!! :)
CONGRATULATIONS Becca, on your milestone!!!!! :)
How funny to read everyone’s comments : ) I wouldn’t mind the skinny jeans or mid-/low- rise pants or short shorts going away! It doesn’t help that people don’t think twice (or look) before going out in them, they are just freaky to look at, on some people more than others!! I have seen some bell bottoms advertised in the past year, tho different name. Funny looking but not for me either!
I would love if kindness in general would come back…….LOL
And I would hate if those bery tight shorts woudl come back for men.
Love you blog Becca!!
Hugs
Marcia
Hi Michelle.
Would love to see the styles of dresses from the 1940’s come back. Love them
I hope the “electric” make-up like bright blue creamy eyeshadow and disco dancing stays away. I’m more of a country Christian girl and glad of it.
Hi Becca, Love your book! I would love for you to publish a book of your cards
I really hope that polyester pant suits and men’s leisure suits do not come back, yuk!
Bell bottom pants! I was skinny when they were in style before, but I’d hate to see what I’d look like in them now. Think how much fabric was wasted! And we’re trying to think “green” now, so leave those in the past!
As a teacher, I love to see my students come back when they’re older and visit during open house at school. But, I don’t want skinny jeans to ever come back. Wait- I think I’m too late! Oh well . . .
I hope glass milk bottles with old fashioned bottle caps come back in vogue.
Hi Becca, Love your website and all the beautiful cards and things you make. Thanks also for the Becca Bits and all the help you give us. One thing I do not want to see come back is the wringer washing machine.( When I was a child I got my arm caught in the rollers and it pulled it all the way to my armpit before my Mom could get it unplugged – very painful – still have the scars from it). Also don’t want to see teased hair or polyester clothes.
I would like to see common courtesy come back in vogue.
wow, 8 mil. is a huge number – a testament to your creativeness. i’m with most of the gals and do not want polyester leisure suits back in style or mullets or big hair in women or avocado green and harvest gold appliances. i am glad being thrifty is back in now i don’t look like i am cheap.
Congratulation, what a milestone indeed! You can be proud of yourself.
I’d love bigger phones to come back because I miss snuggling it with my shoulder and still being able to stamp. What I’d love to go bye-bye is rap music along with mens underware hanging out of their jeans. I guess I’m showing my age.
I am glad that being frugal is in style and I hope that bell bottoms don’t come back in style and lacy collared tops and dresses.
Congratulations Becca!!!! 8 million!!! WOW!!! I wonder how many of those times it was me checking out some detail on your work again and again! It’s sooo awesome and inspiring! :o)
Hahahaha!!! I love your question! Some of the answers so far are a real chuckle! A lot seem to be over hair and clothing styles. Go figure? Wonder what we are wearing now that we will cringe about when we see a pic 20 years from now?
I think my biggest fear would be bringing back the old clunky style electronics! How about the cell phones that were as big as a tissue box or computer that took up half a room? Think turntables that sat in big wooden chests in our living rooms…See where I’m going with this?
Lets hope we never think those things were cool and want to use them again!!! Hehehe!!!
Thanks for sharing! :o)
Congrats on your new milestone! I am so glad I happened upon your blog sometime ago. Love all your art.
I never want to see parachute pants come back!!Yuck yuck yuck.
I love to see people are gardening.
Congratulations on hitting the 8 million mark! That’s excellent. I’m also in agreement about the leisure suits and mullets. My daughter hopes that big shoulder pads don’t come back!! Thanks for the chance to win blog candy.
What I love to see disappear from the planet is the common use of the “f” word. It is sooo repulsive and vulgar.
What I love to see return…tv shows that are filled with family values instead of teaching our children to act wild and think that violence is acceptable.
Neighbors that welcome you to the neighborhood with fresh baked cookies! Had that happen yesterday. Something I always dreamed of when I watched it on shows, and I didn’t think people really did it. It surely made my day :)
Oh I think you’re going to get a lot of response to this! I’ve never seen that punch, I love it!
OK I would love to see my skinny body from the past back again, and I never want to see this fat again!!!!
Oh my goodness. I hope that shoulder pads never ever come back in style.
Congrats!!!! Good for you Becca
I would love to see come back is : manners, Respect, and a chance for our Children and Grandchildren to have a future.
I would like the FAMILY reunions to come back. It seems as I get older the number of those attending keeps getting smaller.
Something I hope never comes back…short shorts!!!
Those dutch boy hair cuts that I had to wear. I didn’t want it that was the hair cut that I was given. Imagine dutch boy hair cut and and eyeglasses with oval shaped with points on the end i always looked like I was ready to take flight. Good luck everyone. As always Becca. TFS!!! :-D
I wish my old figure would come back but please tell me that shoulder pads are gone for good!
Congratulations on your milestone! I too would love to see consideration for others come back. Unfortunately, the one thing that I never wanted to see again were the dresses that barely cover a girls rear. Thankfully my girls don’t like them.
HI Becca–WOW this is some milestone. Sure shows how much you inspire us.
I am so glad the oldies radio is back or still going -love those old hits– know all the words and much to my children’s regret- I sing along.
Hope Hip huggers NEVER come back — ever!!!
I am glad that homemade crafts and canning and baking have made such a huge comeback, but the 80’s can stay away forever…
I am glad that people are getting back to whats real in life
and making gifts instead of buying them. I hope that big hair doesn’t come back either.
Wow! 8 million and yet I’m not surprised!
I too am wanting good manners and respect to come back..
Thanks for the chance to win such goodies!
I hope to see people turn back to the basics; God, family & helping each other instead of looking to the government for help. I don’t want to see avacado green appliances ever again!!
I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT IF EVERYONE DECIDED TEXTING WAS NO LONGER THE THING TO DO. INSTEAD WE COULD SIT ON OUR FRONT PORCHES THAT SEEM TO HAVE COME BACK IN STYLE, AND JUST TALK TO ONE ANOTHER.
I hope bell-bottom pants never come back. I like the fact that people are getting back to growing vegetable gardens.
First, Becca, congrats on your web site milestone. If more people like me discover your wonderful site and your beautiful cards, that number will keep growing bigger and faster! I’d like to hear a genuine “thank you” accompanied by real eye contact from check-out clerks in every store. That’s what I’d like to see come back. “Have a good one!” or “Here you go!” just doesn’t do it for me — guess I’m old-fashioned.
Thank you for all your ideas and inspiration. God bless.
Congratulations Becca! I would love to see the sagging pants on men and boys leave Forever. Thank you for the chance to win some blog candy. I love your book.
I would agree with your daughter about not wanting stirrup pants to come back in style. When you have chubby stubby legs (like mine), you look terrible in stirrip pants. I like a little bit of a shoulder pad, but I wouldn’t want the huge ones that make you look like a football player to come back.
Congratulations on your book. WOW, what a great display of your talent. Congrats on the 8 million hits!!! Thanks for the opportunity to win some goodies!!!
Congrats on your 8 million hits. What a huge milestone for you. I’m glad that party lines are gone forever. People used to be able to listen in on your telephone conversation. Hugs, Nellie.
Wowza! Eight million hits. I can’t even get my hads around that number. Anyway on to your question… I hope BIG shoulder pads like the ones we wore in the 80s never come back! Thanks for the chance.
I wish polyester anything would go away permanently! I hate clothes made of polyester. I love cotton. I wish the Golden Rule would come and stay around. Everybody would treat each other so much better. Congrats on your big milestone. Amazing……yes you are. Thank you in advance for a chance at the blog candy!
I hope bell bottom pants never come back – in my younger years it was great – I didn’t have a middle that looked like a bell!! But now!! No way.
8 MILLION! Wowsa, Becca! That’s an incredible number! Lets see, I’d be happy if those horrible pants that boys wear that have the crotch down around their knees would go away and NEVER come back! I’d also like it if having your underwear visible would go away. Just looks sloppy.
R/
I am so happy that tiered skirts came back in style – just when I need them to look fashionable running after two busy boys!! :) Absolutely LOVE the punch that you are giving away. And I’d love to have a yo-yo maker!! They are so delightfully vintage and remind me of my sweet Grammie. Thank you for sharing your fabulous ideas with us. I am currently implementing your ribbon storage idea. God bless!
Acid washed jeans should never come back! Jeans should not be purchased with the holes already in them. Put the holes in them the old-fashioned way.
Congratulations, Becca! Eight Million page hits ! While I think “Amazing”, I’m also thinking “I’m not surprised” !
I am so glad that many of the ‘home skills’ are coming back into style – cooking from ‘scratch’, knitting, sewing, canning. I have such delight in sharing those skills with my grandchildren. I’m grateful that those high heeled boots that guys used to wear in the 70’s has not returned.
Thank you for sharing your happiness with us.
Congratulations 1) on your totally gorgeous book – which i have only just seen – i would love that book on MY COFFEE TABLE!!!!!!!! it looks fantastic and what a great idea. 2) your 8 mill hits – its a joy to come here every few days and smile and be inspired. Thanks for all you do Becca and all you share.
Im glad doilies have come back into fashion – i just love using them on my cards and scrapbooking – whether they be crochetd or paper.
Congrats on your whopping milestone! I know that I am one of those who visit your site at least once a day and sometimes more. You always have such cute things and such out of this world ideas! I have had such a laugh reading some of the things above. I wore hip huggers and middrift(?) tops when I was 16 or so and I know my Mom hated them and now they are back in style along with short shorts and I hate it when my granddaughter wears them – I now sound like my Mom and know how she felt then! I would like to see people being more considerate toward each other and following the Golden Rule. Thanks for a chance to win some wonderful, non-fattening, candy.
Oh, that yo-yo maker caught my eye immediately! How fun to try that!!!
I sincerely hope sending handmade cards through snail mail NEVER goes out of style, but understand with the post office again raising rates, that it isn’t as popular with some as it used to be — SIGH!
Congrats on your milestone. I cannot tell you how happy I was when Disco died. I will be mortified if it ever comes back.
Congrats on all your accomplishments! Love your blog. I say bring back the friendship pins! When I was a kid they were all the rage!
I would love to see a candy bar Hershey’s made…it was a triple decker chocolate bar….it had milk chocolate, white chocolate and then dark chocolate…all stacked…yummy!!!
What I don’t to see come back is elephant pants…yuck!!!
Hi Becca, Love your creations!
Your book was amazing, and you “threw” it together so nicely was just beautiful….
I’m not really sure what I would like to see come back, however sagging pants, disrespect, and the horrible crime – especially kidnapping and child crimes I would love to see them GONE!
I would love to have a safe and loving world! PEACE!
Here’s to the next 8 million.
(clink)
Actually it is not a thing that I discovered recently but a person. I am thankful that fuzzy eysight and warm hearts never go out of style.
I’m hoping that bell bottoms never make a come back, they are so uglie
Congrats with the 8 million hits.
hugs Linda Dekker
yay for blog candy!
What I like to see come back is, going to the candy store and buying a big bag full of different candies for a nickel and could get double bubble gum for a penny. Those were the good old days!!!! Keep up your great work and congrats on your milestone and many more.
I love that gum wrapper chains have come back. I remember making them when I was a kid……all those Wrigley’s wrappers! Lately I’ve seen some amazing purses made from them. And speaking of gum, I’d LOVE to see Fruit Stripe gum come back.
I am happy sewing & crocheting are becoming popular again but I can do without the big hair.
God bless!
What fun reading all the responses!! I would like good manners and good work ethic to come back. The kids these days do not appreciate the value of money! I am glad homemade cards are back in vogue!
I hope shag carpet never comes back in style. I love that thrift store shopping is in style. I do love to get bargains.
Love all the inspiration from your blog. Your work is outstanding.
wow, nice blog candy again!
I wish the bad economy would go out and the flourishing one come back in style. I miss it!! I have maybe 10 years until retirement and I would really love it if my investments would take a jump–UP of course! Another related issue I would like to ‘go out’ is the massive waste of government spending in areas where there is no long range affect–like ‘giving quick money’ instead of ‘making permanent jobs’…
congrats on the 8 mil mark! You certainly deserve it–your blog is awesome!
Oil painting never went out of style but it has come back into my life and I am really enjoying the challenge! Just love it!
In my opinion, electric rollers, brush rollers, or any type of hair rollers need never come back! I like the “au natural” look!
Congratulations Becca on not only your 8 million hits but also the adorable book. Like others, I visit your sight at least once a day, more if I really am looking for some elegant inspiration. I love your work.
I would love to see two things come back. Gas at a $1 a gallon and, gasp, common courteousy to each other. I grew up in the days of yes mam, no sir, please, thank you, ladies first, remember?
As always, you are very generous in your offering of blog candy. It would be wonderful to receive it. Thank you again for all you do, your inspiriation and friendship.
Congratulations for your blogs continued success! I think jelly shoes had their day and shouldn’t come back :). Good luck to everyone!
I love all your card and boxes idea! Your daily email is opened excitedly. Congratultions on your success! I’m really glad that flipflops have come back — I love to wear them in doors and out!
Hi Becca, congratulations on your big milestone. You so deserve it. Your site is fantastic and I try to visit every day. I would love to see moral values come back, I am so tired of being talked to like my values don’t matter, and kids today do not know what tact is. I am trying to teach my grandchildren that the Golden Rule applies to everyone and to try to remember to use it as often as possible. Thanks
I hope the shag carpet I had, those big ugly eyeglasses I wore, and starched clothes never come back, but I miss the small waist and flat stomach I once had. I do hope the future will hold more love for God and country, more modest dressing, and less bad language.
Your book was beautiful, and congrats on the 8 million mark!
Congrats on all the hits. I would love to see the love of God, common sence and every store closed on sunday and holidays. I think the country and families would be in much better shape.
I wish sitting outside visiting with the neighbors would come back…in my neighborhood, none of my neighbors are friendly and it’s so sad, cause I miss that!
I would love to see visiting come back – when I was a kid after church we knew we went to Pap and Grandma’s just to visit. All the cousins and family were there it was great.
Congratulations on so many hits!!! I hope never to see another pin curl as long as I live. :-)
8 million! Wooooooooooooooooow! I can’t even image!
I am glad women are allowed to wear pants! I would hate for the day to come back where all we could wear were dresses! I like having a choice!lol!
Wishes for continued success with your blog. Thanks for sharing all of the wonderful ideas.
Hugs,
Pam
I’d have to say that bell bottoms AND stirrup pants should never make a comeback. Also, big hair and blue eye shadow should stay in the 80s!
8 million!? Holy moley! You really are amazing!
I’m not so sure I like the skinny jeans that are the huge fashion craze right now. Maybe because i look better in a straight leg.
I’m looking forward to the return of cooler weather… living in AZ it’s something I look forward to each year. (*wink*)
Keep up the FABULOUS creations! You’re wonderful!
WTG on your milestone Becca! It doesn’t surprise me a bit that you have that many hits, you do wonderful work and you are an inspiration to us all, every day!
I am really happy healthy eating is back, hopefully if I eat all those great foods again, I’ll get the body I had back, and then I too would want the fat to stay away forever! but in all seriousness, can we close the door on saddle shoes too?!
Thanks for everything Becca, my special prize awaits me almost daily in my in box, telling me you’ve been at it again. Blessings
I would like to see people be more courteous to each other.
I would like to see people talking face to face and not with a cell phone to their ear.
I wish you and yours a great day.
congrats on 8 million visits!!! wowwie, thats amazing =)
i wish hot pink and flourescent yellow and green spandex never come back! LOL
hugs
juli
I hope the greed of the 80’s never comes back. Congrats on the milestone…wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a blog with that many hits!
I hope parachute pants never come back in style. I also agree with your daughter on the stirrup pants. Congrats on the milestone.
I would hate to see women out shopping wearing curlers in their hair! UGH!!
Congratulations on getting to the 8 million mark. Awesome!
Congrats, Becca, on 8 million hits! We love seeing what you are doing.
And what a generous give a way. (I have duplicates of several things too that I give away rather than return. Glad I’m not alone!)
I never want to see another pair of polyester, plaid pants again. Even worse, when I was ready to get rid of them, my grandmother took them and wore them.
8 Million? Can’t even wrap my mind around a number that big. I know personally, you are my favorite blog. I just like to see what you have created and enjoy how you share your life and family with all of us. Thank you Becca and CONGRATULATIONS! Now on to the next 1 million!
A thing from my past that has come back and excited me is an old and dear friend I have reconnected with. Something I never want to come back for me is attending school.
Congratulations on the 8 million mark and your beautiful book. Wow! You are truly an inspiration!!
I’d like to see some decency return to television – the violence, sex and language is terrible. Where has our value system gone? I want it back.
I’m glad that “old-fashioned” is making a come-back — that people are once again appreciating things made by loving hands (whether it’s a card, a quilt or a jar of jam) — that frugal is now considered “in”.
Wow, Becca, congrats on your blog milestone. You’re an inspiration and a creative resource, that’s for sure. I want to see Fizzies come back (those were the little tablets that moms would pack in their kids lunches … in the 60s … with a thermos of water, and at lunch we’d pop the tablet into the thermos and have instant fizzie grape, cherry, lemon, punch or rootbeer —yum, my favorite). Would not want to have bell bottoms come back. Or white patent leather boots. Or hot pants. My ex-mother-in-law wore a white hot pant set, WITH white patent leather boots, WITH a floor-length lace vest, to her 4th wedding.
I hope leisure suits never come back. LOL! But I am glad that pantsuits came back for women and being frugal. I love your site! Thanks for sharing.
Babies, babies, babies, but this time grandbabies. I just became a grandmom and I am so excited. Little girl, or should I say big girl, 9 lbs, 10 oz. and 23 and a half inches long. Adelyn Mae Simon was born July 5. The only thing that I hate is that she is in London and I am in Nashville, TN and it will not be until September that I will get to see her. I can’t wait. Like a little kid at Christmas.
With grandkids, I love the new ways of taking temperatures – heads, ears, even armpits! Hope we never have to revert back to the rectal thermometers. And no, I don’t know why I thought of this. Congrats on your achievement!
Congratulations Becca- what an achievement and many thanks for your generousity of more lovely candy.
I wish we could go back to being more neighbourly- everyone keeps to themselves nowadays.
I also hope that your blog never stops as I enjoy it so much each day.
Hugs,
Trish x
When my girls were growing up well loved to go eat frozen yogurt
together but then the establishments closed down one by one. Now
they are coming back but with the self serve option including toppings galore. I recently took my grandson to indulge in this pleasure with me
and it was such a blessing!! He is almost 7 years old now and has
become a little stamping buddy as well:-)
Hawaiian Shirts, but did they every really go out of style?
I hope the no bra look NEVER comes back…congrads Becca!
8 million hits-that is huge! I am so glad you made your book to remember this blog that has brought so much love and inspiration to so many paper crafters. I NEVER want to see paper crafting go out of style. I would love to see the US constitution mean what it used to!
I hope that shoulder pads don’t come back…either you have shoulders or you don’t!!!
I agree with you that frugality is back and in fashion. This is good. I also find that credit cards are a thing of the past because they are too easy to use & overspend. Them I will not miss. Crafts are also back as people are making more gifts to give instead of buying, this is good too. It’s too bad that the prices of yester-year don’t come back. That I would like to see.
Bell Bottomed Pants! Not sure that’s what they call them today, but I loved them in 1973! Not sure I’d look too great wearing them in 2010.
Ooooow this is a fun one. I’m with your DD re the stirrup pants….eeeew and I’ll add to that leg warmers but unfortunately they’re already back again….so sad! So I’ll add another….Body Shirts in gruesome prints and colours from the 70’s – no thank you to seeing those ever again! LOL.
plat form shoes and hip huggers :).. Thanks for a chance to win
Congratulation with the milestone Becca, Before you know it, you´ll hit the 19 mill as popular as you are. But I totally understand why, cause you really do some awesome work and have a great blog here, and you´re ibsoiring so many people, incuding my self, with all you do, which is sooo wonderful.
I would love to get those times back, where all people had time to be polite and nice to each other, and had time to stop and help an old lady over the street, if she was a bit afraid of the traffic. Today nobody cares about other than them self, becaue they are sooo stressed with all the have to do always, god knows why as people work less and less but get more and more stressed for some reson? But if just we would all take the time to be kind to each other and send others a smile, it would be a much better day for evryone around, I´m sure.
Biiig hugs Maryann
Hi Becca!
This comment is not about a fashion trend that has come and gone, but when I read this my first thought was “Hurricanes!”
Since I live in the deep south (Mobile, Alabama), I have experienced several really bad hurricanes in my life, and it is NOT FUN! Living with no electricity in the dead of summer, not having access to ice, gas, groceries, etc. is a terrible feeling. So, for my wish, I’d like to never see another hurricane again!
Thanks for the opportunity to win the candy! you are so sweet, and talented!
Okay so I am loving the rainbow, clouds, sun, and hello kitty stuff that I grew up with in the 80’s. jamie
I loved those little round oragami flowers you made. And I was thrilled to watch your video on how to make them. YEA!!!! They are so cute!!!
In reference to what I am glad to see coming back, Aprons, I love aprons.
I bought fabric to make one today. They are so useful :)
Oh your book was so pretty. You are so inspiring. Thank You for being such a blessing.
Hi Becca,
I sure hope ‘that pleated pants and shorts do not come back in style. They make you look much larger than your actual size. They are not as forgiving as the smooth panel front.
I hope that lycra and spandex never goes out of style It is used in many of our clothing and undergarments and helps keep things in place as well as a little forgiving when needed.
Blessings to you,
Cathie
Dear Becca
I LOVE your book you made — so stunning — your work makes my day.
Well Done on all the hits you have had — you deserve every accolade you receive.
All the goodies you have for candy look so lovely and exciting.
Pity I am so far aways.
Keep those cards coming ——–
Best Wishes from Joyce in Cape Town.
A very old friend contacted me on Facebook a few days ago…someone I hadn’t talked to since university days. It’s nice to reconnect with old friends!
I can’t believe that I am doing all the ‘homey’ type things again – like sewing handmade gifts, preserving and canning (and loving it). Last time I did all this our kids were young and it was to help save money. I enjoyed it – don’t get me wrong but then the girls got older and I went to work – who had time? Funny how now that it’s becoming trendy again I manage to find the time huh? But tell me when did fabric get so expensive!
My son has moved back home! That makes me happy (although it was not the way we were hoping for) but he is here and it is another voice in the house, which is such a help to someone like me who is so isolated.
he also has his dog with him, who is a total mutt, but absolutely adorable and happy and fun!! his name is Pico (as in Pico De Gallo)
and his cat Ceasar (Ceasar like the salad) he is a bit aggressive and huge, but he is one of those “hemmingway” cats with the extra toe on each paw, and his are huge and very prominent…thus the name Ceasar for the ruler ceasar and “Thumbs up or Thumbs down”
I have put waaay too much my plate recently on top of not feeling good more often than not, so i am playing a frantic game of catch-up!
Of course the House Fire wouldn’t have happened without my son being home, but things happen, what are going to do?
Him being here has added stress at some moments, and laughter and smiles at others. All in all I am happy he is here.
Susan
I would hate to see 13 channel tv’s return – ugh! I would also hate to see bellbottoms and those god-awful cat eye glasses come back in – ewwwwwww!
What I would love to see come back is . . . ummm nothing – I guess I’ve gotten use to all this technology we’ve all become so used to . . . just call me spoiled!
BECCA BECCA CONGRATULATIONS ON 8 MIL HITS … YOUR CARDS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL YOU WILL HAVE DOUBLE THAT IN A SHORT TIME.
I WOULD NOT LIKE TO SEE BELL BOTTOM PLANTS
COME BACK IN STYLE. THEY MAY BE CUTE BUT NOT ON ME. YOU MENTIONED STIRRUP PANTS, I LIKED THEM BUT THEY DIDN’T LIKE ME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE CHANCE TO WIN ALL
THAT BLOG CANDY. SOME LUCKY PERSON WILL BE A LUCKY WINNER
NOT HAVING TO PURCHASE ALL THOSE GOODIES.
AND I SURE HOPE I AM THE LUCKY ONE. CYNTHIA
Congratulations on 8 Million! wow………..There are so many things i’d like to see come back ( apart from friends and family who have died) I would like to see the figure i had at 20 ..it IS still in there somewhere! I loved swisskit bars – probably WHY i lost the 20 year old figure!!
Fab Fab give away .
We have been looking at old family pictures and I hope those awful large glasses frames that are white NEVER come back! I had a pair of those when our daughter was born so we have lots of pictures with those in them! Ick!
I’m glad to have back my hair. I was very sick 3 years ago and it went completely straight as a result. So I let it go long. Long and straight is so much better than short and straight! But the next year, after I was very sick again, I was glad to have the longer hair as half my hair fell out and since it was long and straight, most people never noticed besides me, my husband, and my hairdresser. Now it is thick and long and straight again. Now hairdressers complain again about how thick my hair is and are always trying to talk me into cutting it. Wahoo!
Wahoo!!! Congratulations on the milestone – that’s amazing :) I hope most of the fashions from the 80s stay very buried :) Stirrup pants, the style I called “door-stop” bangs (where they brushed them straight up and shellacked them … anyone know what I mean??) I do wish more wholesome programs would come back on television – fun sitcoms like Family Matters and Full House and cartoons like Yogi Bear … tv nowadays makes me sad :(
Hi Becca congratulations! Well done! You are way to generous, thank you for the opportunity to win some delicious candy.
I’m so pleased to see so much nostalgia making comeback and those beautiful old sepia photos of an age gone by.
Don’t want to see shell suits make anymore appearances! Can’t think of them without an image of Ruby Wax coming into my head, he he.xx
I have a nice sweater my Grandma knitted, very good quality, but strange yellow color. I look very good in it, i used to wear it often when this yellow was in fashion, but now it would look too odd. I wish brigh colors are in fashion again :D
The Jherri curl. Ouch. I had one in middle school when Michael Jackson had his. My mom still has her own version. It was cute to have curly hair but the maintenance was awful.
When I was a little girl we were not permitted to wear pants; skirts and dresses only no matter how cold the weather. We were, however, allowed to wear pants underneath our skirts and dresses. This is something I would never want to see again. I am so glad to see that recycling is so popular and made so easy to do.
A big congrats to you!
I never want to see shoulder pads come back. I look at pictures from the 80s and shudder!
Congratulations on your 8th million hit!!
I would love to see good manners make a comeback, especially amongst drivers.
I was happy that knitting became popular again. And I hope living green becomes even more popular.
There a few things I just would love to see again, My skinny butt is one of them… Oh to be skinny again…..
I hope green bathroom fixtures ( or gold ) never come back in style..
Congrats! Becca ..I really enjoy seeing what your mind comes up with next…
Your one of a kind!!
Ii am with your daughter regarding not wanting to see the stirrup pants come back in style. I also don’t want to see the deep cowl sweater tops come in cause everyone was wearing those with the stirrup pants and there were too many people showing more of what God gave them than should have. Too much~~~
Wow…congrats on your big milestone!!
Talking about crafting I would like to see vellum make a comeback. I have recently noticed a few projects that used vellum in a very unique and creative way….
I hope bicycle shorts go away forever….
When I graduated high school many, many, years ago, the principle told all our parents that we were the last age group with manners to go through the school. While many young kids get a bad rap, I would love to see a resurgence of good manners and thoughtfulness with a strong work ethic.
I am also glad that the “paper arts” have come back in style. Homemade cards are hard to beat.
What can stay away – shoulder pads, stirrup pants, and other 1980’s clothes!
Congratulations on your achievement. I know I check in here at least twice a day! Should would love a copy of your book, if you ever decide to sell a few copies :) A book of your designs, I die of happiness!!
I love that frugality is returning — I’ve been frugal all along but when “bigger is better” was the acceptable lifestyle for so many, frugal was definitely not considered “cool.” I hope the “bigger is better” never returns like it was — gas-guzzling SUVs, McMansions, and the like can stay away forever. Simple always seems better.
I would love to see high waist pants come back (at least waist high!) – Big hair can stay away- too much work!!!!
Congrats on 8 mill! Thank you for the opp!
Knickers….do you remember Knockers! OH MY GOODNESS! I would be glad if Knickers NEVER mad a come back! I love your comment on the big hair thing…tooo funny! Something I am so glad has come back is being Frugal, which you have already said. No waste, I love it! I would like to see “modesty” make a come back, what happened that we are so out of whack?
You have a blessed day girl!
I am enjoying the renewed interest in knitting and crocheting. I’ve been sharing my TV time between paper crafting and crocheting/knitting little baby hats, sweaters and booties to give as gifts.
I never want to see the Leisure Suit or the Neru Jacket come back in fashion! Yuck! Congrats on hitting the 8 million mark! I look forward to checking your site every morning!
My comment for today, and I think this counts, is one of my favorite bands got back together this year. Soundgarden. I was sad they broke up but obviously they just needed a hiatus and now they are playing shows again. I hope that they are working on a new album. Good luck to everyone and thanks becca!
Congrats on the huge milestone! Wow!
One thing I am glad is gone forever: Nancy, my ex-neighbor. Won’t go into any further explanation there….. except to say that I am relieved that she moved away.
DeniseB
Becca- You’re just so generous!! Bell bottoms should never come back!!
I’m glad capris are so popular..I think when I was a kid they were called petal pushers…ha!
8 million page hits- wow congratulations- and thanks for the inspiration you have given us over all your entries- thanks for the chance to win some super candy too- things I would love to see come back as they were in the 70’s- Platform shoes- loved them- wish I’d kept mine would sure wear them today even at the age of 50+ , things I dont want to see come back- the style of clothes from the 80’s- including the bright eye makeup- there are other things but they have already come back so I can’t include them
I never want to see stirrup pants come back in style. Congrats on 8 million page hits. Thanks for the chance to win.
Thank goodness for pantyhose. No need for girdles and garters to ever come back.
First of all, Congrats, Becca, on 8 million hits – Here’s to the next 8 million!!! You are such a generous soul to be giving away such delish items – thanks so much for the opportunity to win them!
I love it that Gingham has made a comeback – I see tons of gingham ribbon on crafts now, as well as DP designs. Also, not in the crafting theme, I note that more and more people are getting into vegetable gardening in order to reap the freshest, tastiest, SAFEST grow-your-own foods (i.e. no pesticides).
I would HATE to see Palazzo Pants make a come back LOL
Cheers!
I wish that dressing up would come back. I was just talking to someone recently about how most people don’t dress up anymore. She said even to graduations the moms were wearing leggings. Congratulations on another great milestone!
I hope the big glasses from the 80’s and 90’s never come back. I see pics of my husband frm back then and always tell him he is lucky I met him after that era. Also the crazy mens pants from the 70’s thta were plaid and striped. What were they thinking. Thank goodness they are gone.
I would love to see Pepperridge Farm Blueberry turnovers come back. they are soooooo yummy with Vanilla ice cream. I never want my husband’s kidney stones to come back. Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy. Your creations are wonderful. TFS!
Becca, congratulations on your amazing blog and its success. You are such a talented lady and I enjoy reading and seeing your creations! I would be so happy if sewing found a new life. I’m afraid it’s a dying art. Quilting seems to be going strong, but sewing articles of clothing seems to be fading. I would love to see young girls (and boys) become excited about learning the craft.
I would like to see folks living life at a slower pace and stopping to smell the flowers. It seems like everyone is in a hurry these days. So maybe get back to the less hurried lifestyle and enjoy time with family more.
A couple of years ago, my bestfriend from high school, came back in my life. She had made some bad choices and had problems with addiction and we had lost contact. She didn’t have a phone, but every once and awhile I would call her mom and dad to check on her. Well, I got the call from her that she had started a recovery program and was is business school. I was sooooo excited for her. I missed my friend and was so proud that she chose to quit and make her life a better one for her and her children!!!
Becca you are amazing You are a great inspiration to all of us ! As a retired hair dresser I love seeing new hairstyles and would love to see much more of the geometric haircuts come back like the “Sassoon”
and never ever see plaid polyester again especially in leisure suits!
Becca you are amaizing like your projects :)
Which I love…..
What i will be happy to come back the romantik time from the pass. people where more romantik and nice to each other :)
Have a wonderful time.
Hug’s
Renkata
I’m not sure if I’m happy about it, but rather amused; Pop Rocks were such a novelty when I was a kid. It’s neat to see them on grocery store shelves now!
I’d love to have my scale read what it did in the ’80s and ’90s!
I hope that the 80’s women’s explosive curly hairstyle together with the big fat shoulder-pads never come back in style.(They are giving me the shudder just thinking about it!) You remember those that looked as though you are wearing a wig or a big bowl of worms on your head, together with square shoulders? Now that I look back at my old photos I can’t help but wonder…what was I thinking?
I loved the old gaugho style pants….remember having a one piece suit that I loved when I was a senior in high school…so fun! sUSAn
I would love to see the neighborhoods of the 50’s and 60’s come back. I know that my husband and I are lucky that we do know our neighbors on each side of us. We even share milestones that happen in our lives. But I have several friends that have lived next door to people for 15 years or so and have no idea as to what the last name of the people next door to them are.
Leg warmers do NOT need to come back. It made everyone but the skinniest look like they had wrinkly elephant legs.
Hi Becca, congratulations on your amazing milestone! Thank you for the chance to win such gorgeous candy. What I would like to see return is my figure from about 20 years ago – I think it’s impossible but there’s just a tiny corner of my mind that says “Don’t give up – keep trying!” Oh well, you never know.
I love that being more energy saving and recycling or just plain thrifty has made a big come back. We need to do what we can to help out the next generation. Thanks for a chance to win some really awesome blog candy!
I think it’s really neat that crocheted flowers are in style – I used to crochet a long time ago and recently tried to make them again. I had to go through my Mom’s stash to find some yarn.
8 million hits! Impressive, but not surprised – you have terrific content here!
Oh please come back – the pride in this country – more flags flying, more singing of the national anthem, more red, white & blue.
If it never returns…. the manual typewritter – I do love computers way more!!!
Congratulations Becca on your blog and your book.
I hope the trend towards “displaying” ones cellulite goes out of fashion (lowered pants, cropped tops) goes out of fashion. To come back, neighborhood porch time. My hubby and I love to sit on our porch, but at times it does feel odd, like we’re spying on the neighborhood…who knows, maybe it will catch on. Thanks for the opportunity to win big!
I hate skin tight jeans but it looks like they are already on a come back. They only work on a very small number of people. In the scrapbooking world I would hate to see deco scissors and cutting pics in little shapes come back. SOOOOOO very bad!!
I hope head bands NEVER come back ! I wore one as a teenager in the 70’s. but i do love the fact that everytyhing vintage is back in ! i love the jewlerty, clothes, craft stuff !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!what more could i say !
I love your cards, and your little book is so cool. I’ve kept a sample book, but this is way better.
I hope manners come back. I hate saying thank you and getting “no problem” back. what happened to “your welcome”.
And I agree with your daughter, I hope stirup pants never come back.
I cant wait to see guys pants pulled up around their waistes ! thats gotta go, once i was eating with a co-worker and there were very little people in the place and a guy was at the register paying; he dropped some paper money and didn’t notice; so i yelled at him and low and behold he bent over to pick it up and my co-worker and i lost our appetites as we watched his pants fall around his knees along with the boxers he was wearing. It didn’t seem to face him but it left a lasting impression on myself as i could recognize this mans derier better than i could his face ! LOL
Well CONGRATULATIONS on another milestone! You deserve it. You do such wonderful and creative work.
I’d love to see disco come back! It respresented a fun time in my life and the music was sure peppy. And since I stopped dancing to the music I gained weight. Hahahahaha
luvglitztoo
no head bands ever again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
I’m a quilter so I like when that comes back. I’ve done well in the fairs and have gone to the next level but have only been able to win 3rd a couple of times at that level. My sight is giving me problems so I don’t know how many years I can continue. I had hoped to retire and get more into my quilts. I just want to be able to pass my knowlegde over to others.
I would hate to see some of the 70’s fashion come back – Example: Saturday Night Fever and John Travolta in the white polyester suit –
Thanks again for the opportunity to win!
Teri
Personally, I love big hair…since mine is so short and thin…I have to bleach it, tease it and put product on just to make it look like I’m not completely bald!
Polyester Leisure Suits. Boy were they awful.
no bell-bottoms ! all they are good for is soaking up water while walking outside, getting caught on stuff, looking like your ankles have edema, giving the appearence of having a tourniquit around your shins, making you have thunder thighs even if you don’t !, although wearing them will give you the impression than you can walk around without shoes- no one will ever know !, you can wear them and look like an impersonater at a Vegas show, they also give the impression that you have no style and wear them just because everyone else is –what happend to your clear judgement when purchasing them?, wearing them also makes you apparently blind since you didn’t look at how bad they looked on your friends and everyother trend folllowing person, maybe surgery could fix that or a pill or some kind of treatment might help so you can start thinking on your own; they also look like mary poppins in the wind, a good mud catcher, catches on car doors, but you have to admit one thing- they certainly hide those ugly trendy multi-colored knee high socks we used to wear–gross also ! on the other hand , lets get rid of the pencil jeans- no one NO ONE can wear them , now thats a sight and a whole another topic of crude comments all together–after all who wants to look anorexic or brittle !
What I would NOT like to see come back: parachute pants, latch hook anything, feathered hair (aka the Farrah hair cut), shirt collars wide enough to land an airplane on!
What I WOULD like to see come back: the clothes of the 1950s, tv that you could let your kids watch without fear of what they might see/hear, and Pepperidge Farm Jalapeno Goldfish!
I would love to see a return of good manners and respect for others. Just because some teenager can read my name on my credit card does not give them the right to call me by my first name!
looking back on old wedding pictures of the 70’s, I hope that the tuxedo ruffle shirts (in all colors) NEVER come back. Did we really think that was a “fashion do”
Great photo book; I’m going to check it out. Thanks for offering blog candy again. Something I love to come back is friends from the past.
I hope that the big teased hair of the 60’s never comes back. Women would get their hair done once a week (can you imagine – I can’t stand to go one day without washing mine!) and was so stiff with hairspray it could knock a wall down!! Fortunately it never happened for me, but I heard stories about spiders building nests in there!!
Congrats on the hits Becca! I am glad to see more people gardening again. I love it!
Puleeze get rid of the soggy bottom down to your knees baggy pants…….disgusting!!
Would love to see kids playing outside: jacks, marbles, jumprope, hopscotch and no cell phone, IPOD, etc. I’m glad for little league sports, but parents should not get involved…………..it’s just for fun.
Rebecca
Congratulations on 8 million!! I check your blog every day to see your beautiful work.
I really hate the saggy jeans with underwear showing-wish that would go away forever!!
I’d be happy if the ridiculous high heeled shoes women wear went away forever. They have no idea of the foot problems they will have when they hit their later years! And I totally agree with the poster several ahead of me that I’d love to see kids learn to play marbles, jacks, and hopscotch and jumprope again as an everyday activity. Of course, we got our heels to throw for hopscotch for the shoe repair store…..try and find one of those today! I spent countless childhood hours in those activities….sweet memories.
Mary
I never want to see neon colors come back as huge as they were in the 80’s. What a horrid fashion statement! :)
Becca,
I would like to see the return of such things as the belief in God, respect for one another, honesty, honor, pride in accomplishment, work ethics, return of the family unit, punishment/coinsidences for wrong doing, love of our country, patriotism and most of all morals, and people who lead this nation who also believe in these things.
I hope we never have to see plaid polyester leisure suits again.
Marcie
I was a little girl when Jackie Kennedy held the nation enthralled with her sense of style. The sunglasses? Those big sunglasses? Love them and still do and am tickled pink to see them back in style!
Congrats! As for the thing from the past, it was on one of the new Taylored Expressions stamp sets. It had the saying that my Granddad used to use, and I love it. I just had to get it!
Congrats on your accompishments. This is my Thursday entry. I would love to return to “neighborly” good times. I used to love visiting neighbors, playing cards and eating popcorn. Everyone is just so busy in this new “improved” world. Just please don’t take away my microwave.
Congrats on 8 mil…. What I don’t want to see and I’ve seen them everywhere is the hot pots, or the short shorts… I can’t wear them anymore and reminds me that I’m over the hill!
I’d love to see re-usable milk bottles and others of that type come back. It would save a lot of plastic in land fills. I remember when the dairies had delivery systems and they brought the milk to your door. Anyone live in a house that still has those little insulated cubbies the milk-man could open from the outside to deliver the milk and you opened from the inside to bring it in? There was one in the house where my husband was raised. I’d like to see home dairy deliveries come back, too.
I was not particularly thrilled with the extremely short shorts now becoming popular again.
Linda
How about paper dresses? Uh no. Not so much. So happy for your success!
I wish all polyester would go away and never reappear! Congrats on the milestone. Yvonne
I’m just sooo glad my mojo came back! I’m loving every minute I create! I wish my arthritis would go away and never come back though!
Fantastic blog, you deserve every one of your 8m hits!
Hugs
Peri xx
Becca, with such a wonderful site it’s no wonder that you’ve had so many visitors! Congrats!
I’m tickled to see that madras is back, and being worn by our 20 year old son, who thinks it’s cool!
There are several things I would love to see come back such as Seersucker, Dotted Swiss (my Mom always made my summer dresses out of this), French Twists & hats and gloves.
But the two things I most miss are Good Manners (I just had a 6 year old ask me “HUH?”) and Being proud to be a Christian (When did we become ashamed of God???). I love your blog and thanks for all the great offers you have.
OK…I hope this is alright – I’m going to give you a trend that I can’t wait to see GONE. One of my pet peeves is seeing young men walking around with their pants below their butts. (OMG!) Call me old fashioned but that’s just one trend that I’ve never gotten used to.
Thanks for the chance to win blog candy! Congrats on 8 million page hits – that’s just awesome!
Congrats on your hits! That’s awesome!
I hope that ACID WASH never comes back! That stuff kills me! I wouldn’t mind if wavy hair from the waving iron (like a crimper but lots bigger) came back. I loved my hair wavy.
I have very straight hair so I would like to see that come back or perms come back…..I have VERY STRAIGHT hair.
Bell bottom pants and hip huggers. I hope the go back out of style. I can no longer get enough pants to hug my hips and wonder why I ever wore bell bottoms. But my daughter and grand daughter love them. But I guess I was crazy at the time.
Congratulations on your milestone!
I just love music from the 50’s and 60’s. The songs had alot of meaning and lots of love in them. And everybody could relate to them! It brings back memories of growing up and the good times.
Thank you for the chance to win this wonderful blog candy!
You Are Amazing!
I wish the Bra’s never came back,heheheee,,, the older i get the less i want to wear it because its so much better not wearing the tight bra and in winter its too cold to put it on every morning,,,silly hey,,,
I wish my daughter would come back from the UK, i miss her terrible, been away for 2years now and only see her now and again on skype. thanks for this great candy prize,,,maybe its my lucky day,,,and i wish your blog never goes away,,, your cards are awsome, Susan, South Africa
The itchy polester pants suits. I had one just like everyone my mother had.
I hope your blog comes back again and again and again and again,,,,,
Congrats on the 8 million, you so deserve the accolades. Love your book, wishing you would publish for all to see & drool over. You are such a great inspiration.
Things I would love to see disappear: tacky, baggy, too loose or too tight clothing. I keep wanting to yank the baggy boy’s pants up for a wedgie. I don’t want to see their unders. The too revealing clothing for woman also has to go. I’m not a prude, however it is better to have a mystery to you than to put it all out there.
Things I would love to see return, patience & courtesy. I’m always amazed that these have been forgotten. I know that our parents spent lots of time helping us to master them, but where is it listed that the minute you leave the house that you leave these basics at the door?
One more item to return, paper straws. Very retro, very good for the environment. Not so good for a thick shake but how much fun was it to try to get that shake up one. Having them sure helped you enjoy that shake for a long time.
~C8>
I agree with your daughter on the stirrup pants, but I hate to tell her, I saw some in a store the other day. And it wasn’t a thrift store, either! I would also hate to see huge shoulder pads come back. I really don’t want to look like a linebacker, thank you.
I love seeing the bright neon colors and designs of the 70s back in some of our fabrics but I’ll be very pleased if mullet hairstyles are never back in vogue. :) Thank you for all your wonderful artistry and for taking the time to continue to inspire the rest of us!
Hi Becca
Happy Thursday –I am happy to see some family values returning –and wish people texting while out to dinner or driving would STOP – nothing is that important
I’m wit you, babe…no more beehive hair for me either. What I wish WOULD come back is respect. What has happened to us?
I would hate trolls to come back. NO beehive hair or pill box hats.
Small shoulder pads would be okay. No linebacker style. I just need a little help for mine.
I would love corals and salmons to come back so that I can scrapbook my 30+ year old wedding photos. Pink is just wrong.
I wish there were more funny happy comedies and dramas on TV. I watched DOC last night on GMC. Can’t they make more shows with wholesome values?? Rhetorical question I suppose since sex, violence and crude humor seem to be the mainstream norm. We need a few new Cosby comics around.
I love your Becca Bits!!! They have helped me become better at “seeing” possibilities that I would have not thought of without a little push and my techniques have become better. Thank you so much for taking your time to make those posts. Your cards are awesome.
Hugs,
Nancy
Becca, Congrats on 8 million hits! Wowza! I really wish they would bring back Drive-In Movies! We had a blast when we were young going to the movies. The plus side is everyone can save a ton of money by bringing their own good snacks! If at one time you were a really popular great singer PLEASE don’t come back when you can no longer sing!
I hope some old time crafts come back, there was some great crafts about when my Mam was little, some of which I’m learning now but which i’ve missed all these years
I hope to see my nephew Andy soon. He was supposed to go to Afghanistan but was sent to Hati for the Missouri National Guard instead. The plight in Hati has been replaced by the oil spill in the news but they are still in a desperate situation. Say a prayer for those involved.
Congrats Becca! That’s a whole lotta hits !
I’m happy that some good old fashion fun might be on the way back in ! Staying at home playing tag, kickball, swimming in the kiddy pool..all things that I love to see my kids doing!
Thank you for the chance !
BECCA BECCA WOW CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT MANY HITS. BECCA, YOUR
WORK IS SO BEAUTIFUL THAT YOU WILL DOUBLE IT IN A VERY SHORT
TIME.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE COME BACK ARE FAMILY VALUES. FAMILIES
THAT DO THINGS TOGETHER, DURING THE WHOLE WEEK. NOT ON JUST
SUNDAYS; ATTENDING CHURCH TOGETHER, PICNIC’S ON SUNDAYS.WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER FRIDAY THE FOUR OF US WENT
TO THE DRIVE IN . SATURDAY THE WHOLE FAMILY GOT TOGETHER AT
SOMEONE’S HOUSE. AND ON SUNDAY WE ALL GOT TOGETHER FOR
DINNER AT THE PARK. OH TO HAVE ALL THAT BACK.
Something I’d love to see come back would be decent sitcoms on TV. All that has come along for years has been trash. We need some decent shows like the oldies of the 50s and 60s… just good clean fun! Nowadays with the seriousness of life it would be nice to be able to sit down for a half hour every so often and just have a nice laugh.
Oh I hope stiff hair NEVER comes back! I remember when we used half a can of hairspray/lacquer to make sure our hairdo lasted a full week! UGHHH, can you imaging that today???
Congrats on your milestone…doesn’t surprise me at all for us followers are like a sponge when it comes to your creations! Thanks for offering another fabulous giveaway!
Hugs~
What I hope comes back is families sitting down for dinner together, instead of everyone grabbing a plate and going off to their separate corners.
I love the vision of yesteryear when a family all sat down together and said Grace.
I hate those big shoulder pads!
Hope that the men will be more masculine AGAIN! (I’m from Russia. Heh)
I wish the respect among nations come back!
P.S. Sorry for my English:)
Your works are gorgeous!!!!!!!!
Becca,
I know just about everything goes now-a-days for fashion but I hate those skorts and hope they never catch on again.
Mary
I hope the short athletic shorts for men don’t come back nor would I enjoy having Qiana fabric back in style. I’m not so slim & trim for that clingy kind of fabric. eek!
I would love to see neighbor’s helping neighbor’s, and children being able to play outside without having to worry about being kidnapped or someone hurting them. I would like to see the world a more peaceful place to be.
I hope we never have to see the old days come back without air conditioning. I don’t know how I made it back then.
I hope that the use of typewriters never come back. I hated making corrections especially on carbon copies. Computers are sooo much easier. I also hope that my 29 year old son only comes back for visits and not to live (lol). I am glad that reading hardcover books has not gone out of fashion. Not a big fan of e-books.
For me it’s those big glasses that eat about 3/4 of you face. They use to be ugly and now they’re back but as sunglasses and are still super big and ugly. The weird thing is seeing girls 14 to 18 wear them thinking they are so cool!
Michelle
I wish the double and triple coupons would come back. It was great going to the store with a $.50 coupon and getting $1.50 off. This wasn’t all the time just once in a while.
I keep hoping the use of some of my old embellishments and rubber stamps will become popular again…I guess that must be why I keep them! They’re going to make WONDERFUL vintage-looking cards some day. Right now they just make the card look dated. :-)
I have to agree with your daughter. I hope stirrup pans never come back. I’m so happy with jeans. Back in the 80’s I had a pair of stirrup pants in every color possible. I also hope big 80’s hair doesn’t come back. That is one trend I will stay away from. lol! JIL
I was honestly not a big fan of Facebook, however when I had to start using it for work I rediscovered some friends I had almost forgotten about… and glad to be back in touch with them!
…And I hope electric blue mascara never comes back as a “real” fashion statement. I can’t believe I wore it so much in the 80s…
Congratulations, Becca! Your 8 million hits attest to the friendship you share on this blog.
This is not craft related, but I would like to see “showing all the flesh a person can” to going back and being more modest. Some people are going a “bit” too far.
Thanks, Becca.
I love the handmade items are in and appreciated. And I won’t want to see bell bottom pants back in style. Love your blog, you have such great ideas. :)
I guess I might be late, but I am always dazzled by your creations made with love. I wouldn’t change a thing because you have a classic style going on.
Thanks for sharing.
Theresa
I think I have visited nearly every day since sometime in 2007…and you never cease to delight me with your talent. I too hope big hair never makes a comeback….I have very fine hair and hated sleeping with those huge rollers. I think the 3D comeback will fail…no matter how hard they push it or how invested the mfrs are……I hated the glasses then and I wouldn’t bother now….especially for more $$$.
I wish old fashion neighborhood corner stores would come back and that neighborhoods would support them….Congrads Becca
I am a huge Alice in Wonderland fan, and have been for my whole life. I am thrilled that the new movie has brought Alice back to the forefront of fashion! There is even an Alice challenge blog called Oh, Alice! and I made the design team! Yeah!
I have to agree about the stirrup pants. I have long legs, and stirrup pants only have one place to give when they are too short. I can remember some almighty battles to keep my butt covered when bending and moving! Yikes!
Congratulations on so many hits, and thanks for offering such great Blog Candy!
What I would like to see return are some good manners and respect from the younger generation. So many of them think that bad language is normal, and general good manners have deteriorated badly as has discipline in schools.
It doesn’t cost anything to be polite!
Carol x
SADDLE SHOES—I hope they never come back…I hated those and my Mom made me wear them….yuck!!
I wish the younger ‘folks’ would be taught more respect and reverence for the older generation ‘folks’. We have much to share and teach them. Twitter, Wii games, computors, cell phones hold them captivated and entertained. It’s a challenge to compete for their full attention.
I would like to see decency and personal responsibility make a comeback, but I hope lizard blue eye shadow and leisure suits are gone forever! LOL
I hope you can keep inspiring us! And I hope hubby is doing better. I hope that big glass frames come back… I bought new frames and was persuaded to go with small. But big is better! And I hope that LSSs come back into vogue and they can be profitable again. But alas I think the internet is taking over.
I would like to see a respect for adults, manners and doing your best no matter what you do be values that come back and are lived by younger generations.
I would like to see talking (as opposed to texting) come back into style – sometimes I fear that our new generations will not know how to communicate one on one.
For the first time in a few years, the deer have returned to our neighborhood. I don’t exactly live in the country, but the area is surrounded on two sides by woods. The other morning a doe was in my neighbor’s yard at 4:00 in the morning, munching on some mulberries! The site of that beautiful majestic deer put a song in my heart that lasted most of the day!
I love the internet! It’s too cool that when you can’t remember history or need to know something, you can just go type it in and there it is. I love not having to have the big encyclopedias around.
How I wish actual letter writing could come back in style! I’ve always had this love affair with paper (of any sort) and miss that tangeable touch one has with texture. Sadly, it just isn’t there with emails. On the same note, I wish the text abbreviations would disappear. It seems no one can speak or spell anymore. How many people are suddenly talking ala Sean Connery with their ‘esh’s’ instead of ‘ess’s’. How odd! That gets my goat :)
As always, I sure look forward to seeing more of your creations and am always tickled when I see a Becca Bit. Thank you!
I am hoping neverr to see the “Candies” spiked heels. They were horrible on the feet and back.
one more thing I hope never comes back – men’s platform shoes with gold fish and the faux fur maxi-coats along with the hair styles that went with the outfit.
My cancer has come back twice, but I never want to see it again!
I would love hand needlework to come back in a big way.
Congratulations on your 8 million milestone. And keep up the wonderful creative work.
What needs to come back is the ability to think critically. Young people are so dependent on cell phones always calling to ask what they should do. Some day they will need to make decisions on their own and they will not be able to think though the problem to come up with a solution.
Congratulations on your milestone! You work is beautiful and your following keeps growing!
I wish phonetics would come back. I’m tired of the misspelled words our youth use. I won’t use shortcuts even when texting.
And Kyle, #359, you can come have the deer in my yard. I wish they would stay away! :)
I do not want to see shoulder pads again.
I would love to see the Drive-In Movies come back, and the dollar a car night. We always had so much fun with them when I was a teen. Really miss those days.
As for not coming back, stirup pants is a big never and bell bottoms, about broke my neck in those running.

Bell bottoms! I’m talking about the huge wide ones that we wore back in the early 70’s and that tried to make a comback several years ago. When I was 20 and slim they looked great, now I’m 60 and not so slim – good bye bell bottoms! You belong in the grave yard! Mini skirts – I know they’re still the rage, but really ladies, you need to leave a little up to the imagination! Good bye and thumbs down to mini skirts! Of course this is just MHO!
Barb
Congratulations Becca! What a milestone!
I wish that Sunday trading would be abolished again. I would love to see the return of quiet Sundays in the UK.
Anne (UK)
I hope mullets never come back–and that isn’t even going back that far. I love short hair on guys, so I hope long hair never comes back, either. Leisure suits, heavy-duty eyeliner, and VW Beetles, they can all never make a comeback.
Congratulations on the 8 million hits!
Never liked the chunky heels on women’s shoes………………..love the look of the heels worn in the 1930’s and 40’s………..so classic.
I have to agree with the many who wish for manners and respect to come back and for the saggy, icky, boxer-showing, crotch-at-the-knees pants the that guys wear to go away and never EVER come back!
I hope bell bottoms never come back. Talk about ugly! I can’t believe I wore them!!
I hate BIG HAIR! Hope it never comes back! Congrats on 8 million hits! Totally Awesome!
I am glad that being a teenager will never come back for me :)
Although I wish my little boy would come back (he’s 20 and I sure miss him being 3).
Congrats on the milestone. And thank you for offering the generous blog candy.
I hope the mullet hair cut never comes back.
My hubby came back from the past in a sense… we had been dating on and off for about 10 years, having plenty of ups and downs, even separated for a while…(before we were married)…and then one day, we both knew there was no looking back…and we decided to make it official…and, although very off-key, both our hearts are singing!!!
Congrats on your blog milestone and thanks for the lovely candy.
I love that feminine dresses are back in style and I really hope that those stretchy plastic 70s boots will never see the light of day again. (shudder)
Congrats on the milestone, and what a great idea for the photo book. I hope 80’s decor doesn’t come back.
Fashions come. Fashions go. BUT I don’t ever want to see football-sized shoulder pads ever, ever again.
Congratulations on your blog milestone. No stirrup pants ever again!
I love your cards, they are always outstanding.
Congratulations on you 8Mil hits!!
I’m happy to see crocheting coming back – it might have been back already, but I just picked it up at age 62, again!! I’ve been making crocheted flowers, circles and butterflies for my cards.
I hope heavy polyester clothes stay away forever!!
Thanks for the chance at the blog candy.

polyester double knit fabric – UGH
I’ve got 2 today, one that I wish would go away, FOREVER, that’s rap music. I just can’t stand it. And the lyrics! Well I’d better not get started on that one. Something that I wish would come back is a tea that I used to be able to buy back when I was in college. Can’t remember who made it, but it was Black Rum. It made the worlds best ice tea! Haven’t been able to find it in years, used to get it in the local grocery store. Thanks for the chance at another awesome candy. Still can’t believe all those hits!
R/
Congrats on your blog!!
I hope Biker shorts never come back. I remember having them in every color and wearing large shirts over them. I gained so much weight. I need a zipper and button on my pants.
Thanks for the chance to win great blog candy!!!
I would be very okay if “HARVEST GOLD” never became an appliance color every again!
Hi
I hope that Crocs, you know that uglie things that you can wearing on your feets, go away and i want never see them again.
hugs Linda
I was happy to see the peasant blouse/smock shirt come back this year. I think they are so cute, floaty and comfortable.
Absolutely no stirrup or bell bottom pants, hate those things and take away those belly button showing shirts. Would love to see return to our country the little mom & pop grocery stores where everyone could shop for the basics and visit at the same time.
LOL — enjoying reading all the comments! I actually cannot think of anything new or different to wish not to come back, so guess I’ll just agree that manners, kindness, thoughtfulness, respect for all those around us would come back! We’re all in this together, so we really should be kind to each other (though most of the paper crafters I’ve met are)!!!
Tatting could come back and maybe this time around I could learn to do it freely.
Congrat on 8 million hits. Wow that is amazing. Thanks for the chance to win some goodies.
Hello Becca,
I would love to see simplicity come back in style! There are too many distractions today and I think people lose sight of what is really important…family, friends and relationships.
Blessings to you,
Cathie
No elephant pants -great for tripping….and no to dress hats. I wear one on my Red Hat day but that’s it, thank you.
Jean McGee
I would love for an appreciation for our language to come back. People need to find writing important again. Semicolons and commas are not scary; however, people don’t know how to use them. Apostrophes are important, too. Don’t even get me started on their, they’re, and there. Ha ha. By the way, I just found your site last night, and I think I’m in love! I have spent over three hours looking through it. Fabulous work! Thank you for all your effort.
Congrats on the “big” number. That is really something. I’d love to see the torn knees on jeans go out of style.
Congrats on the hits. I account for a good many of them as I am repeatedly studying your cards.
I would love to see allover body tattoos disappear and never come back. They are so distracting and all I can think when I see them is how much worst they will look in thirty/forty years.
I’d love to see kids play and act like we did when I was a kid. OUTSIDE from dawn to dusk, good Christians, respectful and responsible.
Hugs & Blessings
Bernie
Congratulations on 8 million!!!! Wow, but I am not surprised. I love your site, your technique tutorials, and your work is so beautiful.
I would love to see filthy language and lack of respect for others disappear forever.
Thank you for the chance to win some great supplies!
lol
i never want to see bell bottoms come back
YUCK
lol
your book is amazing becca
hugs
I THINK healthier eating is coming back. Fast food isn’t all about french fries and 1600 calorie milkshakes anymore. At least I hope. . . .
Something I love is the availability of relatively low cost audiobooks that have come along with the mp3 player.
I also hope the same mp3 player (aka ipod) revolution means we will never see people strolling around with boom boxes again, inflicting their choice of music on all and sundry! Remember when bigger was better, and you’d see people strolling around with boxes the size of small cars on their shoulder?
I wish that strapless dresses had not become popular again but I am glad to see jeans being worn more again. ; )
I never thought I would say it, but I like that mushrooms/toadstools are coming back as an art subject. When I was younger, I saw a lot of decorative items made in the seventies with mushrooms and thought they were homely; but now, I’ve seen a few that are cute, and I have even (gasp!) considered making some myself.
Thr one thing I can think of is the afro for everyone. I had one many years ago. I had to go through pain to get that perm.
Almost missed posting today, since I was out of town – what I would like to see come back is the Golden Rule lived by everyone. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. Life was nicer then.
8 million hits is like the entire city of Los Angeles and surrounding communities dropping by one by one for a visit! I don’t want my youth back again. In my “sunset” years I can work or play depending on how I feel or am “bent” on any given day. In my younger years, it was simply work, work, work — now I have choices.
one thing that I would like to see leave and never come back is the shredded skinny jeans. I mean, skinny jeans are bad enough, they make me look like an awkward fat giraffe but then shredding them so your skin is popping out all over the place just looks ghastly…..so please take them away!!!
I so hope high-waisted pants don’t come back in style!
One thing that I would love to see come back is kids with decent manners. No, I don’t want Victorian strictness or the stilted formalism of that era, but simple courtesy, consideration and respect for others, particularly adults.
I could very easily do without watching nudity and of sex acts on prime time TV. I wish people would put some clothes on and leave a little to our imagination.
Linda in SC
I love that polka dots are showing up on a lot of things because I {heart} polka dots! I hope they stay around forever :) I’m also liking that women’s clothes are starting to trend back to being more feminine even though there are still “masculine” styles floating around … they just don’t float my boat :)
It’s not just one thing I would like to see come back. I long for a simpler time. A time of leaving the house after breakfast running through the neighborhood & playing tag, hopskotch,skelsie & stoop ball.You get the pic. Saturday morning cartoons although I do love being able to watch them any time I feel nostalgic. Hanging out on the stoop was pretty nice too. I miss seeing my mom hang out the window of our apartment watching the world go by(just like that lady on ShaNaNa). She found out world events in that window! How about just miss her!
I would like to see face to face chats come back. Too much cell phone and texting and emailing each other—while these can be very useful technologies—I would like to see us get back to communicating more in person.
Just like a lot of people that posted, I am so ready for a simpler time and common courtesy. It would also be lovely to give a woman or man, a choice to be a stay at home parent, if they wanted.
I would love to see the unrealistic fashion mags go away. We are all very, very beautiful on the inside and the outside, just as God made us. We need to be more aware of that. Strive to be healthy, not size 0.
When is this ghastly ‘fashion’ for young men to wear their jeans almost round their knees ever going to end??! It’s unsightly and surely can’t be comfortable?! That is a craze I would like to see finish and never return!
Thanks for offering this blog candy, Becca. You are so generous of time, talent and gifts!
Hugs
Anne (UK)
I would never want to have another perm ….the curly style that was popular in the 70’s….I hated getting those..and then when they grew out…my hair would be flat on top! Hideous!
I would never want to go back to my life before Christ saving me! Whew! Thanks for all your beautiful posts. Love all your cards.
Morning Becca. Love your blog. It’s always so interesting. Thanks for the chance at candy.
I love all the crafting and tutorial blogs that are online. You give us so much help and inspiration. I have always been self taught and now I feel like I have many friends “helping” me.
I would never want to go back to the days of “no computers”. My computer is my “information highway”. I can travel all over the world and my friends are just a blog away!!!!
Hugs Cheryl
I NEVER want tight spandex pants paired with “slouch” socks to come back. When pulled tight, those socks could reach your knees and those shiny spandex pants showed every dimple! :)
Please do not bring back orange, green or brown counter tops in kitchens!
I never want to go back to doing things in my own strength. It just doesn’t work!
As a teenager, my friends and I spent many a Saturday night in my girlfriend’s basement listening to oldies from the 1950’s and early 1960’s (think “High on a Hill” and “What’s Your Name?”) on a radio program hosted by Terry Lee, a local d.j., with a deep voice that we all swooned over. Then along came the British invasion, disco and acid rock (not that I have anything against that kind of music) and Terry Lee and his show were gone! I discovered last weekend that Terry Lee is back on local radio and playing those same songs. That put a smile on my face and a song in my heart!
I would love to have that feeling of forever that I had when I was in my 20’s. Well, actually, I would love for my body to feel like it did when I was in my 20’s! One can only wish…
Congrats on so many hits. I have passed your address on to several friends just because I love what you do so much. And that you aren’t afraid to show how you do some of your techniques for your cards. Thank you.
I would love to see family oriented shows come back, with morals and learning………………I would hate to see coulottes come back, lol
Carol
Hi Becca,
I hope that shoulder pads NEVER come back into fashion but I think they are on there way back in as when I was in a store the other day I seen a top with them on. linda x
When my 14 year old DGD started singing ‘I’m leaving on a jet plane….’ – and her startled expression when I told her when that song was written and who made it popular…priceless!
I love that age of innocence. I also love that age of ‘fearlessness’ (to an extent!); she has an idea in her head to make something and she gets some of my fabric – no pattern – and ‘viola’ – she’s accomplished whatever it was she wanted. I wish for that fearless confidence to stay with us for a long time.
I’d love to see good manners and common sense come back. It seems so many people think they’re not necessary in this day and age.
I would love if those jeans that don’t cover your backside were to become very un-cool …..
Sandra
Becca, WOW – 8,000,000 – That’s certainly a milestone!
I love the big comeback of the tunic tops, especially with all the beading around the neckline but I don’t like the comeback of the leggings since now wearing them for me is not an option!
carol b
I would like to see “stay-at-home-mom” not have the negative connotation that society gives it today.
I hope white nurse’s uniforms never come back…ever. When dealing with all the things a nurse has to deal with, white was totally impractical!!! Yay, scrubs!!!
I love the sound of push lawn mowers, neighbors talking over fences, going to stores, not malls, taling to people on the phone, not a computer. I hate having to push “1” for English. Pastors that preach the Word, not feel-me-good lectures.
I would like to see common sense come back. Common sense just doesn’t seem “common” anymore.
I’d like to see friends and family take time to sit down and just enjoy talking and being with each other.
Hi Becca,
I love your blog!
I would like to know when it became cool to wear your pants below your butt? I really can’t wait for that to go away and hopefully never come back. Manners…I would like to see manners improve.
I agree with the last comment. I’m so tired of seeing droopy pants. Everyone show say no to crack.
I love that vintage is in style right now; like the “Thrift Shop” line of paper from October Afternoon. I am a vintage gal at heart. I wouldn’t like to see my hubby in a baby blue tux with wide lapels and a shirt with ruffles…ever. Thanks for sharing the awesome blog candy and the inspiration on your site!!!!! You’re a blessing to many of us out there trying to create. : ) Have a great day.
I never want to see the times come back with outside johnny houses. I love my indoor plumbing.
I would love to see some of the old tv shows like Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, My Three Sons and so on come back on tv. I love the old family shows with good clean fun.
I love some of the comments… but I would like to see the art of dressing up come back…. we are so lax in dressing, when we go to a concert at the Hult Center – we will see torn jeans to ball gowns with furs and tuxes… What is wrong with dressing up and celebrating the event rather than throwing your favorite pair of jeans on…..
Some of these comments are great! I did stop and pray for the girl who doesn’t want her cancer to come back. Today, I miss the old cassette players. No problem listening to them without having to go to the internet to sync music.
I would like to see Mom’s have more time to do the good old things, like canning, making jams and jellies and just having more time with the children. Wish both parents didn’t have to work to make ends meet.
Thanks for the chance Becca.
I would love to have the old rock and roll music back with all the old artists! Can’t believe some of the music our kids listen to now. Oh, well! I would like to see people dress up going to church or to a play. I loved the days of the hats and wearing your Sunday best. Thanks for the chance to win those goodies.
Shirley L.

I would love to see the church being a focal point in society again and our nations actually being nations trusting and serving God.
No parachute pants!!!
I never want to see hot pants again … or granny dresses … or polyester pant suits! What I do enjoy seeing are sunday dinners at grandma’s, kite flying, cloud watching, and family picnics!
I hope spandez never comes back…..never liked the look at all especially on those of us on the heavier side!
I am so tired of pants hanging way down past the butt, with the underware hanging out. Some even wear a belt so that they don’t fall completely down. What’s the point, if the waist of your your pants is almost to your knees, they have all ready fallen. UGH! I even see girls doing this, I can’t stand it.
Hi Becca, I am glad to see boys wearing less of the droopy jeans,( at least here) and so glad our jr and sr schools have implemented clothing “guidelines” and kids are sent home or have to adjust their clothes accordingly. No bellies showing, no low cut tops, no short shorts, or t shirts with objectional sayings or pictures etc are allowed.
Thanks for your website. It is fantastic.
I would like to see plain old pleasantries return to everyone, from everyone , for everyone !
Nice matters !
I’m glad to see sewing making a comeback. In fact, I am going to start teaching my 7 yr. old granddaughter how to sew this week. How about good old 100% polyester – now that was great material to sew and it never, ever wrinkled. Sure was hot to wear in the summer heat!
Love your creations and wish you would make a book to sell of all the things you create – I would definitely buy it!
Hi! I am glad that capri style pants have come back in style, they hide my knock knees. Back in the day these pants were called “Clam Diggers” or “Petal Pushers” Capris sound better.
Something that has come back into my life in recent years is a very good friend from college. I had totally lost track of him a few years after college and had no way to find out where he was. But, another college friend was able to put us in touch with each other again and we’ve stayed in touch ever since.
Knitting – I love that knitting has made a comeback. This time around I’ve even learned to knit sock! Also felting – I’ve made many felted purses for gifts for friends and they love them. Yea! for knitting!
I hope to never see the flower power(child era)
but I would love to see crocheting and needlepoint become popular again.
however I am enjoying card making and scrapbooking at the time
Way to go Becca! I love how you engage the blog community with your questions. I hope the avocado green and ulgy orange from the seventies never comes back.
Thanks so much once again!
I cannot believe that I ever wore stirrup pants and it truly amazes me that leggings and long tops are back again… what’s with that???
One thing I would not want to see come back is party lines on our phones! One thing I would love to see again is coke in a bottle floating in a cooler of ice and water. Man that was sooooo good! Now I know I’m dating myself for that was so many years ago, but the very best taste!
I sure hope that the young guys with the pants hanging down with boxers showing and the girls with the thongs pulled up high with low rise pants go away and never ever come back.
Congrads Becca….that is quite a feat!
I love you cards. I look forward to them as a daily inspiration. Even though I love stamping I would love to see more crafts come back. I love doing all crafts but especially stamping and needlework.
I’m so happy for my laptop. I keep all my accounting (QuickBooks Pro) on it. I would hate to go back to long hand and double entry! I would even hate to go back to my desktop.
I would not miss seeing the low-hanging pants some boys wear and the way too short tops that some girls wear. Guess I’m showing my age!!
Love your cards, Becca. What an inspiration!!
Let’s see…. I would love to see my hair all brown and LONG again… and of course be skinny again too….
Crocheting, I love the little flowers for my cards that my neighbor has been making for me, so sweet. What a marvelous book you’ve made, such an adventure…wonderful candy here, I know I could win this…lol
lynn
Hello Becca,
Well, I would love to have macrame come back into style. I have several, which I made in the 60’s, but they have been, gradually, falling apart. Who knew sisal wouldn’t last forever??? Ha ha!
Something I can do without would be harvest gold and avacado green appliances. Yuck!!!
Anyway, those are my thoughts. Hope you have a great weekend.
Lovingly, Sue
I’ve noticed a lot of clothing that is similar to the styles in the 60’s. I loved them then but don’t really want to see them again.
I would, however, like to see paper dresses make a comeback. I had one and threw it away! Not too bright because most people think I’m kidding when I say they were around at one time.
I’m glad the retro look is back in, along with the colors of orange and turqoiuse, but I hope can-cans never come back. They itched. Thanks for another chance to win blog candy.
I got to thinking about your question and had to laugh – when my husband and I were in school bell bottoms were so popular. I loved them, but we laugh so hard remembering how my husbands Mom made everything – and Rod had red, white and blue polyester striped bell bottoms. I hope I never see these ever – except for the picture we get out every once in a while and can’t believe it. Thank you for a chance to win your wonderful package.
Blessings,
Catherine
Becca,
How generous you are to give us all these chances to win blog candy. Just maybe I will win someday! I hope the shoulder pads do not make a comeback. They make women look like football players.
Mary
Great blog candy. I don’t ever want big shoulder pads to come back.
Gread giveaway thanks for the chance to win, I agree I don’t want shoulder pads to comeback. The 80’s are best forgotten
Things seem to move in circles. I think everything comes back eventually (yes, even bell bottoms!!). It just depends on the diameter of the circle.
Hi Becca :o)
Congratulations on 8 million!!!! WOW!!!!! You really do have a marvelous site and while I follow other websites to a degree; your’s I follow regliously! I think that you love our Lord is part of the reason! You have such a sweet spirit. Thank you for all you do!
I, too would love, love for Green Stamps to come back!! It was such a thrill to put them in your book after shopping and see how many books you have now and what you can buy w/them! Also, children playing outside instead of constantly on the computers and play stations!
What I never want to come back are the long gas lines or being able to buy gas only on certain days. Please! Never again!!!! C:o)
Hi Becca,
What a wonderfull blog candy. I would not like to see bell bottom pants
to be a hit again as they were long time ago.
Rainbow Bright & the Lite brights.. I loved those as a kid & just know mine would love them too…
I hope liver and onions do not come back…just like pigs feet…do we really need them? We live in better times and we should let some things stay in the past.
I like the whole organic trend, even though I thought we did that years ago when we had a big garden. I guess I relate it to homegrown or homemade, just now with the different name (organic)
I know it is free of chemicals, but we only used a little bit of sevin dust once in a great while.
I love vintage and shabby chic so that can stay – what I wish would go away……bell bottom pants and platform shoes!!! You book is stunning – what a wonderful keepsake of all your projects!!
I would like to see “those terrible oversized pants” with the crotch hanging down to the knees go away and “Hand written” thank you notes make a come back to the younger generation. With the exception of card makers it is really rare to ever receive thank you notes for weddings, birthdays, gratuations etc…sad.
PS I love your work and amazing site! Thanks for sharing with us all.
Thanks for all you do for our stamping world..
I would love to see real food come back.. No more additives and GMO’s and chemicals. No more unhealthy diet foods etc etc.
I would love for my teenage body to come back Okay maybe that is too much to ask for so I will say I hope the baggy droopy pants go out of style and never ever comeback.
Thanks for a chance to win. I would like to see the Gulf back in earlier days b/4 the oil spill
Letter writing, and in nice handwriting, on pretty stationery. I know some people who penpal, but it’s a dying art. Typed letters are a no-no in my book. Today, everything goes through text messages…
I hope the 80’s shoulder pad look never comes back. I already have square shoulders and I just ripped all of them out. I literally had a collection of them. I don’t know why I saved them.
I neeeeeeed that blog candy you have up for grabs. PICK ME! PICK ME!
I am loving reading everyone’s comments.
Polyester yuck!! Hand written notes yay!!!
80’s fashion yuck!
winning your blog candy Yay!!
Hi Becca,
I sure hope that big shoulder pads don’t come back in style. You have to laugh looking back through those old pictures!
Blessing to you,
Cathie
I’m grateful gardening as come back bigtime and I hope and pray that parenting young children never comes to me again….mind you, I love being around all my darling gc, just hope I never have to raise kids again! lol
Vacationing with my parents has made a comeback.
For the second year my son and I spent a few days with my mom and dad at the beach. It’s nice to hear my dad recollect the old days (he’s 76) and that my son gets to hear about the olden days. My mom treats me nice and I don’t have my sisters vying for her attention, too. After all these years, I like when I have her all to myself.
Oh, and a commercial wish for a come-back- Does anyone remember the shampoo “Gee, your hair smells terrific” and Listerex? I’d love those products to come-back…
Pray to God that bell bottom pant don’t ever come back yes
I wish to prints from the ’70s had not come back. It’s so hard to find solid colors in classic styles. What does that say about me?
I’m loving capris (aka peddle pushers). The older I get the more I forget. So everything seems to be coming back just in different dimensions. LOL!
I guess I’m a bit nostagic but I wish LARGE families would come back. I came from a family of 5 and just have a sister and a brother and our parents are in glory. I
Thanks for the chance at some great blog candy! Congrats on your blog and 8 mil hits!
I’m fussy about shoes, and I’d hate those big clunky platform shoes to come back.
DeniseB
Hey, Becca, hope those projects are coming along well & that they’re for Spellbinders!!! ;-)
I linked you on my blog post a few minutes ago as I needed to do a post regarding the MS tags I’ve been using a lot lately, so did a take-off of your “Becca Bits”: Marge’s Memo. Your tag is ever so clever, but I couldn’t think what else went with my name! ;-(
Can’t really think of anything else I never want to see, but wanted to let you know I’m missing your awesome posts & hoping for some “candy”!!! ;-)
Some old friends from school have come back into my life (after 30 years) and it has been a joy to reconnect.
As a child, I can remember my parents having a garden right there in the back yard in the suburbs. It allowed them to save money on their grocery expenses a lot. I didn’t really try it myself…..until this year. I decided that a little bit of gardening might be a good idea. I’ve noticed on the newscasts that this is happening a lot in cities all around the country. I think this is a trend that should continue!
bring back the old jaguar. although I could never afford one – I still like the old one
Hi Becca
I would love some of the old movies to come back – musicals or love stories – wouldn’t it be nice to see a movie with noone getting killed?/ and no aweful words??
Thanks for the chance to win
Bring back neighborhoods with houses looking nothing like the one next door.
Would love to see quality TV come back into style, good dramas and comedys…………………hate reality TV…..it’s so phony.
I hope ALL the fashions of the 70’s never come back!
I wish children could play out doors safely as we did back in the “old days”.
I sure enjoy opening my car door with just a click and rolling down the window with one touch!
Thanks
Hello, Becca – I hope that Harvest Gold never comes back in style for kitchen appliances, but I do hope that good old romantic ballads like those Elvis used to sing do become popular again. Thank you for all you do for those of us who admire and follow your work. Blessings, Cheryl
I would love to see the pants below the waistline go and never return – I really don’t want to see what I see when these are worn. I would love to see a slower pace of living come back. Thnak you for your inspirations.
I’d love to see kids spend less time playing with electronics and more time interacting with each other.
I hope that nylons with seams up the back NEVER come back. I wore those in the early 60’s because they were all the rage, along with the garter belts.
[…] Also, my blog candy is still going! The comments that have been left are a seriously funny read if you have couple of minutes. There’s still a day or two to leave your own comments too. You can read the post and leave your comment HERE. […]
I was NOT pleased to see rompers come back in style this year! Hopefully they’ll be out by next year. They are just not practical and just not for grown women.
I’m never ‘in’ with whatever fad so even if it were passe, I’d probably think it was the bee’s knees! I love EVERYTHING 80’s even the big hair! Acid wash denim, leg warmers, BLUE eyeshadow, skinny ties, long ‘fake’ pearl necklaces, NEON clothing, AWESOME music and the sweet innocence before the electronic age totally took over. Sigh, maybe if I click my heels 3 times I can go back? LOL.
I never want to see tucked in shirts and knickers back in style! Oh how about PLAID pants?!? Never! Or guys wearing dark knee-high socks with shorts!!! I need to go throw up now… :(
I hope short shorts never come back. They are definitely not flattering to anyone. And please, do not ever bring back those full skirt with the heavily starched slips underneath. What a pain they were to keep and wear. Also, please, no more boufant hair do’s. All that teasing and hair spray cannot be good for your hair or sinuses. Your blog candy is always so cool. Thanks loads.

I loved the jumpers of the 70’s…so comfy and they looked good on everyone.
Bring back choo-choo bag purses–I loved them. Forget black and white TV. This is my Friday entry. Have a great weekend.
I remember a time just before pantyhose hit the mass market and here are these young, freshmen girls keeping up their stockings with panty girdles of all things. They were torture and I hope they never come back. I mean really! Talk about not allowing young muscles to develop naturally but actually doing the opposite!
Love your cards and always look forward each day to viewing them. Thank you so much for sharing your time and talent.
I don’t miss garter belts, fans instead of a.c. and snowy T.V. Am thankfkul for technology that has helped us advance…especially that which is linked to creativity!
I wish Lassie would come back to help get Timmy out of the well!!!! They’re auctioning off Roy Rogers’ horse (yes, he’s been stuffed all these years!), Silver, next week – maybe we could get sweet ole’ Gabby Hayes, Roy, Dale and Tonto to come back, too? Please, don’t bring back disco and leisure suits!!!!!!! :-) Coordinated community gardens last year – GREAT experience and reminded me of my grandmother’s garden and canning. Glad to see that trend returning – great for the community, too. Thanks for this thread, Becca! Fun stuff!
Hello, Becca and congratulations on 8 million hits! And your beautiful book that you “threw” together!
I wish kindness, respect and tolerance for one’s fellow man, as a human being, regardless of race, religion, gender, political or other persuasion would come back.
Like so many of your other readers, I wish the horrible fashion trends (pants on the ground, bellies and boobs hanging out, underwear and lingerie on display) would go away… and fast!
Hey Becca! Just bought some of the new right angle punches and I must say that you make it look so easy. Wish I had half your talent. Thanks so much for all you do.
I wish that the good ole movies would come back in style. Even the old Sat. morning series on TV. Why does time seem to fly by so much faster now and we have all the conveniences to make our lives better but but we still run outta time?
I really dont want my colon cancer to ever come back.
And I would like it if life were a little slower paced.
Thanks for your wonderful generosity and for your beautiful blog
I wish that the good old fashioned values would come back to TV series instead of the garbage that is on now days.
Congratulations on the 8 million hits. WOW!!!! That is Fantastic!!
Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy.
I also hope stirrup pants never return. I love that knitting is making a big comeback!!!! Thanks for the chance to win something. You really inspire me.
For a bit of nostalgia, I do remember the fun of licking and pasting the Gold Bond Stamps in the books and counting to the end to see how many pages were left to complete the book. As a newlywed, I got a large mixer for Christmas (from stamps my mother-in-law had redeemed)–40 years ago and although I have purchased a smaller one as I don’t bake much anymore, it still works great. So that is a “return” item.
I don’t so much miss the “Zubas” pants (think that’s the correct name)-blousy, wild print knit pants-popular during my kids’ teenage years.
And at the retail store where I have my part-time retirement job, there are stirrup pants- actually more like stirrup leggings, but they definitely have “STIRRUPS”.
As I relative newcomer, I am enjoying your website so much!
I would have to agree with a previous blog. There is so much sex and violence on TV these days. Half the shows that get through on a PG rating now would be at least an Adults Only years ago. On a fashion note, rumour has it that shoulder pads are coming back in again. Please, Please, Please don’t let the huge ones back!!!!
Love your website and all your tips Becca.
Oh what a funny read! I forgot about stirrup pants and flats. With tunic tops, big hair, and blue eyeshadow. May that look NEVER return!
I agree with Carol regarding the family type television shows. I sure miss them. I guess I’m old school. Anybody else love Little House on the Prairie, Cosby Show, Touched by An Angel, etc. They don’t make shows like that anymore :(
Congratulations Becca. I know I am little reason why you got all those hits because I’m always on your site. I love it!
I hope leisure suits and glasses that take up half of ones face never come back.
Congratulations on the 8 million hits! I am not surprised. Have to check your blog daily. Don’t want to miss anything.
I hope sending handmade cards or a handwritten note never goes out of style–there is nothing like getting a piece of snail mail. As for what id hope never comes back, I guess I would have to say the gothic clothing and makeup.
I hope wearing suits to work never comes back in for me …. it costs way too much for the fine clothes and dry cleaning – I would rather spend the money on my kids or scrapping/stamping stuff =)
Sandra
Congrats on the 8M. Good for you!!!!!! I was just thinking back to the “good ol days” like in the 60’s when you got your new school clothes and I just hated that we all got the black and white hard soled Saddle Oxford shoes. I hope they never come back. They tried to surface again, but they were the soft sole ones and cute for the cheerleaders. We tried so hard to wear those shoes out! It never happened and Trust and Believe we had to keep them cleaned and polished daily!!!! Waking in those shoes was like walking with weights on your ankles.
I am glad a boy’s haircut no longer has a “tail”. Yuk. My boys never had that style, I had the “I pay, I choose” philosphy – I hope that haircut never comes back!
I wish that Mom’s taught their daughters to sew like they use to….congrads Becca
I hope those accordion pleated skirts NEVER come back….they weren’t flattering when I was thinner and they sure wouldn’t be flattering now! LOL
I would enjoy some ‘musical’ movies again!
I would like to see the baggy pants that the boys wear disappear and modesty reappear!
Thanks for a chance to win some awesome blog candy
I would like the mini skirt coming back, I used to wear a not very short mini skirt and a long(length just up to the knees and a short boots for winter, and of course with a pair of stocking to keep myself warm, those old days were young and delightful. Well, except that even those skirts are coming back and displace on the windows, I may not be brave enough to buy one and wear on me, because I am 55 years old mom, it will fall too far apart with me age, even though I am still looking great wearing them, but my face tell the age…… LOL… yep, I am still confident and young at figure.
I would like to see a general respectful attitude come back. People say anything & everything publicly now. Some topics should not be discussed in polite company. Women should respect themselves more by covering up a bit more and men should keep their pants pulled up where they belong and not show everyone their underwear.
i would love a chance to meet my old friends from elementary school again. such good memories we had! The carefree days where we played until the sun went down =)
Oh yes, what would I want? Just for the good old days to get back, where people would respect each other, for who they were and what they did, and not soo much for how money they have as it is today. Today it´s all about money money money, and if you don´t have a lot of them, you´re just out.
Big hugs Maryann
Your blog is my favorite, I am not surprised at your milestone…. CONGRATULATIONS!!! I would like to see people setting on front porches come back again, which would mean more interactions with everyone in your neighborhood. I am glad hot pants never became popular again. May tight girdles holding up your nylons never make another appearance!!! Also wearing those coke cans to bed to make your hair straight or those awful brush curlers that we wore with a hairnet over them…. I bless hairdryers and round brushes for straitening (and curling) hair now.
Hi Becca
I’d like the old Abbot and Costello moivies to come backHilda
I would love to see our local bobby standing on the street corner always available to help those requiring assistance instead of the local copper which gets about in a fast car rather than on foot and always in a hurry and unavailable to offer assistance…I’m all for the good old days,
Thanks again Becca for more blog candy and take care
I’ve got my grandsons back for a week of camping this year. Whaoo! Love, love, love it!
I would like for my younger years sleeping habits to come back. This is miserable being up at wee morning hours hoping I’ll be able to fall asleep sometime before the alarm goes off in the morning. Luckily, I have Amazing Grace blog to read! and enter comment to try to win candy!
I don’t want all the mistakes and errors I have made in the past to come back and bite me – but that is probably a given anyway! Don’t want all the fat lost to return either but that is another given. Don’t want to be 16 again – but really don’t like this growing old: as a recently departed friend of mine said “old age ain’t for sissies”! Sweaty polyester and other ‘plastic’ materials – yuck! Hot pants – please, only on the slim, young ones! Thanks Bekka, for the blog candy and the chance to win.
Hi Becca…
Oh my…I am truly hoping that cropping pics in circles and ovals never come back! I remember my first scrappin class many years ago…the big think was cropping them in shapes and when I look back at my first scrapbooks I was to cry! Plus, no one told me not to use original pics so I have many precious pictures that are ruined…UGH! Also…hoping that wearing smocked shirts never come back…remember wearing them in the 70’s…everyone looked pregnant!!
I don’t want to see the Polyester Leisure Suits. The clothing in the 70’s would not fit in today.
I am horrified that all of the 80’s clothing has come back! WHAT is that about? Don’t get me wrong – I could live in the 80’s musically (ahh, how I love Wham and AHA ;) but the clothes….in the immortal words of Mike Wasowski (AKA Monsters’ Inc – I have kids, all of my Pop Culture references are from kids movies;) ‘put that thing back where it came from, or so help me!’
Morning Becca. I love the great coupon sites that are now online. Makes it very easy to save money.
I never want to see another avocado stove or refridgerator. Phone either for that matter. LOL. I antiqued my old fridge(1972) a bright orange and then streaked brown over it to look like wood. Ugly Ugly Ugly. Don’t know what possessed me! ! Oh those crazy 70’s.
Hugs Cheryl
I hope shoulder pads never come back! Or mullets! I hated both, although the shoulder pads did help make the waist look smaller!
Becca,
Thanks for the chance to win blog candy. You are so generous! What I never want to see again are men’s polyester leisure suits. They are just “bad”.
Mary
I love cupcakes and it’s very exciting to see new little shops that just feature cupcakes! Yum…….
APRONS …I’ve always had an apron on when I cook. Now you see them in the stores and they look so retro with a new fling. I wear mine with pride. I have some of my Grandmothers stashed in my drawers.
love the vintage t-shirts I see everywhere. could do without the grundgy jeans, tho!
I sure hope bell bottoms don’t come back. Even though I wore them
way back then, I would look awful in them now.
I’m glad to see people saving money again, not spending it as fast as they get it, and I hope the age of 3-martini expense account lunches never come back.
Tent dresses. Many of you are probably too young to even remember tent dresses. They pretty much made you look like you were wearing a tent. When I weighed 85 and 98 pounds, it wasn’t so bad, but now! Sheesh!
Who needs added fabric to make one look like they have even more flab?!
i hope the shirts that snapped in the crotch never come back. a guy must have invented those. ugh! and i would love to see some of the weird shows frome the late 60’s early 70’s come back.
Speedos! Those itty bitty ones. NEVER EVER want to see those back in style.
Smiles~
Marilyn
I would love to see the quiet family life return where families eat a home cooked meal together, have family outings and life, in general, is just at a slower pace.
I would like to see those blouses disappear that makes every person who wears them look pregnant. I think that they were called baby-doll dresses in the past.
I’d like to see my original hair color come back, LOL! I’m just sayin’ …
Thanx for the inspiration and t’riffic blog candy opp!
I wish that modesty would come back. Sometimes I think people just need a full length mirror and make sure they look in it before they leave the house:)
I hope the small tail people wore in their hair never comes back. Looks silly to have well groomed hair and then this tail hanging down.
No more big glasses! EVER! When I look back at my junior high and early high school pictures, I cringe ‘cuz all I see are hair and glasses… where was my face????
I wouldn’t want to see poodle skirts come back. I think they are just too out there for me but I would like to see people send more thank you cards. My nephew got married last year in May and we’ve never received a thank you card for the gift. I think that’s just rude.
Becca – thank you for all the beautiful cards!
How about those shirts that snap together in the crotch? I had a few of those. They did stay tucked in though but ugh!!!
I hope that shag carpet never makes a comeback. All those germs….UGH!
We are so ‘casual’ these days, so when I see a man in a suit and tie at church, I smile; or when I watch an older man opening a car door for his wife and he has a hat on – along with his suit and tie, I smile. I don’t want the strickness of attire to return, however, I would enjoy a little less casualness in the workplace, church, weddings, etc.
What is with all the texting?? Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for technology and I love my cell phone. But, I’d like to visit with my grandchildren without the interruption of their cell phones vibrating with another text message. Once my grandson was riding in his mom’s car with his girlfriend sitting beside him and THEY WERE TEXTING EACH OTHER!!
Thanks for all your inspiration. Love your cards!! Thanks for the chance to win.
I just read in the newspaper…they don’t think rotary phones will ever come back…e-mail is going away (except for the baby boomers) because our kids are texting…and we are all relying on facebook for updates…WOW!!! I’m getting old!
You can’t possibly be reading all these! I want to but there isn’t enough time!
I would welcome going back to the time when I understood a bit more about how things work. I say that with the full admission that I love my Kindle, my iPod and hi def TV. I just can’t keep up with all the technology. I also love blogs. I just don’t understand how it all works!
Someone else alluded to one of the trends I really dislike. I find it offensive that so many women are showing far too much cleavage. I guess it’s okay in the right context, but people in professional roles also have stuff showing thaat I don’t want to see! I guess that many of them have paid big bucks for those parts and want to show them off. LOL!
Let’s go back to natural fingernails. Those acrylic swords glued on hands are really not my thing. Of course, I’m in my studio so much that I have to keep my nails short so that I can do what ai want to do and can remove all the colors they acquire.
Love your blog, APG!!!
I hope stirrup pants and spandex pants never come back….some bodies just aren’t made for either and it used to be scary to think of going in public with them on. I wish more focus on family time in the home would come back. I remember playing board games with my daughter and her friends, loved having her friends hang out at the house.
I would like to see undue stress take a very long holiday for everyone and then decide to stay away!
Love your creativity, Becca! Congratulations on your success!
I hope mini skirts (they sure were short) and low hip huggers don’t come back.
I wouldn’t mind drive-in movies coming back and of course, times where families seemed closer and always ate together!
This has been fun reading everyone’s thoughts on.
Thank you to all who shared!
Hugs, Dawn
Wow, congrats on the milestone for your blog. That is awesome. You are blessed with talent and we appreciate you sharing it.
I would like to see more patriotism come back and respect for our flag and country. In the July 4th parade (and others) people don’t salute the flag the way they used to when it passes, just the older generations. I guess it is not taught now days that you should stand and place your right hand over your heart to show respect for our flag. God Bless America.
I hope the 80’s big hair with the sweatband around the forehead never comes back. How did Olivia Newton-Johns look in her physical video ever become a fashion statement….just sayin’. I hope writing letters makes a come back. Emails are not the same as holding a handwritten letter in your hands. Knowing that someone cares enough for you to take the time to sit down and write you a letter. That you are important enough for them to tell you what is going on in their life. I send my granddaughter’s letters, cards, little notes at least once a month, but usually more. I remember how important I felt when I got something in the mail, and I want them to feel that same importance.
With so many scrapbooking stores here in LA closing, I just hope this keeps alive. I truly enjoy this hobby. It is not just a passtime. At least not for me. My scrapbooks are in my wills. I hope the wide bottom pants NEVER EVER come back. I cant believe they were ever in style.
I hope that plaid pants never come back in style. They remind me of an old man redneck. LOL
I love your blog and look at it every day. Keep up the beautiful work.
I just happened to think of one thing I would really like to see come back and that is when you go through the check out stand at the stores that instead of “have a good day” they say thank you. What happened to thank you? One day I actually said to the lady who had said “here ya go” to me, that “this is the part where you are supposed to say thank you”. She looked at me and said “I don’t feel to good today”. What the heck was that about???? It is my biggest pet peave – can you tell????
My niece is into black and red plaid … ewwww!!! I STILL have nightmares of having to wear plaid when I was in elementary school and to boot, my shirt and pants never matched …. why Mom, why?!? lol lol lol
As much as I loved the 80’s I hated the big hair. Growing up my hair was long and thick…I ALWAYS had big hair. Now when there is a movie from the 80’s on my kids will always laugh. I can explain the clothes (there’s always some kind of trend), but the hair is a lot more difficult to explain. Luckily we all get a big laugh out of it.
I really wish modesty would come back and that women would cover up their body parts before going out in public!! Exposed pregnant stomachs, nearly-naked breasts and butt cracks are really not appealing!!
HI Becca
Happy Saturday –Heading out to do a make & Take at my favorite stamp store. Makes me happy that paper crafting is still around and going strong.
I would love to see reality TV go AWAY!! These folks looking for love on tv – what a mess!!!
What I hope never comes back: zits…okay, I still get them, but not nearly as bad :P
have a beautiful, blessed day
Becca, I am one of your 8 million page hits! I repeatedly check out your blog since I only recently found you. Your work is outstanding and I have enjoyed looking and learning from you. Please keep up the great work, clearly it is appreciated by many!!!! Yes, 8 million and more…..
It’s been interesting reading all of the comments and I must say that I wish a simple “Thank You” would be used more often. So to you Becca, I say Thank You and also hope big sprayed hair-dos never return.
Speedos! Talk about an eyesore! The male version of the itsy-bitsy-teenie-weenie bikini! May it never surface again!
Not the poodle skirts again, please! Or all those petticoats we wore under them. (Yes, I did have one and loved it at the time.)
BECCA BECCA HOPE YOUR HITS WERE UP EVEN HIGHER IN THE LAST
COUPLE OF DAYS. I WOULD LLIKE TO SEE THANK YOU NOTES HAND
WRITTEN IN STEAD OF BEING SENT BY COMPUTER. THANK YOU IN
STEAD OF HAVE A GOOD DAY.
CYNTHIA
I guess the one thing that I would like to never see again is pants on men that are so big that their underwear shows and they have to constantly be pulled up. You know the ones that the crotch ends up at their knees.
I wish we could go back to trusting our neighbors but not to those days of looking for communists around every corner. And I wish the Disney movie of the week would come back. I also miss Carol Burnett et al. Am I showing my age?
Something I never want to see come back it BIG hair. I had big hair in high school, and looking back at pictures, what was I thinking? lol Every once in awhile I someone with big hair, it’s just like wow, give up the 80’s already. :)
I love that customizing your clothes is really hot now! When I was a little girl my mother “pimped” my jeans by cutting it shorter and sewing on some flowers and smilies. I used to colour my sneakers and bling ‘m up. And now this is all coming back. It’s a great way to recycle your wardrobe!
Greetings from The Netherlands
I know you talked about the big hair days…what I remember is that growing up I had a perm! They were so in style back then! I would go through a can of hairspray a week (no joke) trying to get those curls to stay “crispy” and not “frizzy”. I don’t miss those mornings getting ready for school, holding my breath while I sprayed for a minute or so…the things we women do. :)
I hope that miniskirts would go and never come back!
I hope Martha Stewart Craft Items never go away!!!
Thanks Becca!
Let’s bring back respect for others and get rid of it’s all about me!
Hi Becca
Thanks again for this opportunity!
I’d love to see a return to loving christian values in the UK. Am I allowed to say that even???!!
Hugs
Anne (UK)
Awww my poor wedding pictures with me having big hair and big round glasses covering my whole face. My kids laugh every we pull them out. I hope to never see those come back! Congrats on all your hits!!!! Very awesome and it will be no time you double your hits. Love, love, love your cards and blog!!!!
I would love the return of family values, and consideration and respect for others. Clothes wise I guess these days people aren’t a slave to fashion any more so anything goes, but I do agree that the “falling nappy” look is horrendous so guess they could be the items that I would never want to return again he he.
Love the book Becca and thanks loads for the opportunity to win the blog candy and congratulations on you milestone :)
Hugs
Jen
Hi Becca, Oh my goodness !!!! I love the photo book. You should sell them. Your photo’s are awesome and it would be easier to keep track of all you new creations.
I would love to be able to walk into a clothing store and see clothes that one might be able to wear OUTSIDE, Funny how my youngest boys 19&20 can’t find anything that I can wear OUTSIDE they would like to see the burlap bag come in style . Thank god they got out of those baggy jeans I wouldn’t walk near them. LOL Thanks for all the great cards and ideals. can’t wait to see what you do next. Love the ideal of the card book never thought of doing something like that but its on my list now .
I wish that all these girls & women who have lost their hairbrush would find it soon!!
Hello, Becca,
I wish the self-centered ‘me’ and ‘my rights’ thinking would go away, and we were a truly kinder, gentler society. What a nice and kind world that would be.
I wish classiness would come back and trashiness would go away — in all its forms (dress, language, music, movies, TV and print media, spellings, consideration of others, politics) would come back.
I’d like to see belts come back – you know, the kind that hold up the boys pants so they’re not down below their behinds!
Now that everyone is trying to save money… Left Overs are back in… I just LOVE leftovers…. things just tast better the next day…
I wish married couples would put more effort into saving their marriages like they did years ago rather than thinking aobut “me ” and “my needs” and rushing into divorce. So sad.
I’m grateful that my family are all within 20 minutes of my dh and me.
I hope that I can bring back the backyard entertaining, my folks always entertained Sunday after church, no matter who they knew that my Mom had a huge dinner in the works and all it took was a simple phone call to say that they were in the area and they could drop in and have a wonderful dinner and conversation….
I hope hats come back as normal daily wear, I just love hats and I have several beautiful vintage ones but feel odd about wearing them most of the time
I agree with Sandy above. I wish people would honor their marriage vows and work hard at working things through in order to keep their marriages together, and that divorces still had a stigma attached to them and were not so easy to get.
And I…and I…and I hope fashion of reading PAPER books com back!)))))
So… my dad had a forest green corduroy suit in the 70s. My dad looks handsome in anything, but I don’t think we need more corduroy suits!
Also… 80s shoulder pads! There are shoulder pads that make you look good and then there are SHOULDER PADS that make you look like a linebacker!
Becca, Congratulations on the milestone and the book ?
I wish that the old version of ice-cream (especially Vanilla with Cherries) will comes back again! Now they all have industry tasty :-S
And also some good young girls / young womans with modesty.
I wish that the very low cut jeans would go and never come back!
It look so cheap.
So many things I wish would come back and some that would never! I wish manners and being polite would come back and replace defiance and bad behavior. I hope those baggy butt pants go and never ever return .. that and rap music .. well, that’s an anomaly.. it isn’t music ..
:)
Thanks for the chance to win!
Mullets! I went to an 80’s trivia night last month and some of our 40 yr old friends were wearing mullet wigs. The whole 80’s fashion style could never come back and I would be happy.
I too, love the fact that being frugal is coming back… using what we have, instead of having to buy more,more more. I also love that flowers are coming back in stamping, I just love flowers, and any excuse to buy more flower stamps is all right with me!
As for what I wish would stay out of fashion is the avocado colour, and that chartreuse colour… both are disgusting to me.. they can stay out of fashion forever.
I hope that bellbotttoms never make a come back. I never did like them when they were popular, and now I’m seeing a few of them again…………..and no, no…………..not again…..LOL!
But I would love to see “good, old fashioned” values back in our lives. Just the simplicity of a thank you, or your welcome, or a man opening a door for a woman………..just the simple things that seem to have been lost with the younger people.
Blessings,
Pat
Actually I had a very handsome Male friend find me on facebook and have not seen him for 40 years…What a surprise!!
I’d like to see madras plaids come back into style, just because I liked them! I’d like to see designer handbags go out of style, because I think they are a ridiculous waste of money.
Shoulder pads! Never again! ;-)
I agree on the pants that come to the waist!! They definitely should come back.
I truly hope that beehive hairdos never come back. Our daughter showed a picture of me with one at our 50th anniversary party last fall and I couldn’t believe it was really me. I am surprised that the bees never settled in.
Forgot to get on this for a couple of days. More that I hope never returns are shag carpeting, telephone party lines, garter belts with nylons, back seams on nylons, petticoats and or hoops under skirts.
I hope men/boys will soooooon realize that wearing their pants down to their crotches is soooooo ugly and unsafe for a number of reasons. I hope women/girls will soooooon realize that their immodesty is an open advertisement for……….
What I hope will return is modesty, respect for others and their property and for self, Lower gas prices, common courtesy,, good manners, thank you notes, love for God and country.
Congratulations Becca, I love your site and all of your work. You are truly amazing. I wish more old fashion singings and all day dinner on the grounds at churches would come back. Good for families to be together. I hope the can cans, those stiff things we use to wear to make our skirts stand out never come back. I remember I had one of every color, and oh my when you sat down you couldn’t see out in front of you, and forget trying to walk the narror isles of the bus, but I thought they were so cool, oh my how we change as the years go by.
God Bless, Frances
I hope ratting our hair never comes back into style. The hair certainly stayed in place, but I can do without those big hairstyles. That couldn’t have been good for the hair, could it?
I too love that knitting and crocheting are back in style. I can crochet, but have never been past casting on in knitting. I belong to a knitting group since last year so I think I need to learn how to knit. Love the fellowship of the group even though they can knit socks, and I’m still on step one.
I’m with you on hoping that big hair never comes back. All that teasing and then the hairspray to keep it in place. Remember how your hair would stick to the boy’s face when you were dancing slow?

Something that I’d like to see come back is kids actually playing outside! When I was a kid we were outside from dawn till dusk, playing, riding our bikes, swimming, just being kids. Now it seems that kids spend all their time inside, playing electronic games and watching TV. Is it any wonder so many of them are overweight? What I NEVER want to see again is Harvest Gold and Avocado Green! Hated them then, hate them now!
R/
My heart would be singing if America returned to its christian values. We need to continue to pray for our country. Thanks for the blog candy.
I would like to see good ole manners come back. I have never met so many people who have no manner. Kids don’t say please and thank you any more. People let doors go in your face. It’s horrible.
Thanks for the chance .
Cars with style………..most look like amebae, you can’t tell one from another any more. Fast food that just puts on the pounds……..Americans are too fat!!
I definitely agree that pants that come to the waist should come back and there should be a law against droopy pants!! Seriously…people, what are you thinking?!!
I wish hair decorations would come back in and pray that the horrible orange and avocado from the 70s NEVER come back. I hate those colors.
I wish everyone would/could slow down and enjoy a family dinner at least a few times a week.
Everyone thinks we’re strange because we try to sit down every night and eat together. Sometimes it is hard with my DD in softball from early spring till late fall , plus volleyball and band dates. But we almost always eat together every single night.
And we say a Blessing before each meal ! (even when we go out to dinner !)
R-E-S-P-E-C-T!!
How I wish respect would come back. Seems young people today are out for themselves and to heck with anybody else. But, then I run into some wonderful young people and know that there is hope for us yet.
I love your blog. I get such inspiration.
I miss the music of the 50’s and 60’s…..tunes we all still hum and sing today…as well as our kids and grandkids….so, it must’ve been good!!!
Thanks, Becca. Can’t wait to see what you’ve been doing…behind the scenes!!!!
I never, never want to see afros again!!
I would love to see America allow God back in our schools and everywhere else He has been taken out of. I believe we would see a real change for good if we got our priorities right.
Shag carpet! In avocado green, like my folks had. Yucky! Hope it never makes a return….
DeniseB
I hope the little green glass bowls, saucers, and glasses come back in the oatmeal tubs. Remember those? Well, those “oatmeal” dishes are worth a mint! I have to agree with the leisure suits and shag carpet…I always hated those! What about “fins” on cars? They were pretty cool. Oh, another thing I’d like to see again, are the pure silver quarters and half dollars. And once during wartime, white pennies were made. I have a few of them. On to better things..Becca, you will not believe the inspiration you are to me. When I get stuck in limbo, and cannot think creatively, I go to your blog. Your cards are beyond beautiful, and the positive input you have always helps me have a “break through”.

For today’s comment, I’d have to say in response to another commenter here I grew up with a light green and blue shag carpeting in my bedroom that I loved ‘because’ it was different. I wouldn’t mind having at least an area rug that is shag. :) I’d be okay with at least that coming back :)
Can’t wait to see what you will post. Take your time…I know it will be AMAZING…
I love the comment from Sally J. – we need GOD back in our schools and back in our lives.
Hi Becca ! Congratulations on hitting that milestone, awesome.
I am liking some of the retro-ish themes that are coming back- peace signs, owls, and rainbows. However, I don’t ever wish to see belle bottom pants again.
Thanks for the blog candy opportunity!
Hugs,
No more helmet head hair-do’s that took a half can of hairspray to hold in place! And I was good at it! LOL!
Thanks so much for all your videos. I especially enjoyed the triangle box video you did recently and can’t wait to try one.
Please don’t let leisure suits come back. They were awful. Thanks for offering the blog candy. You are so generous.
I would like to see America’s faith in Jesus Christ, and morality return.
I long for children to be able to be children again, and to have God in their heart so they could feel more secure when adults fails them.
I long for people to reach out and help their fellow man, to enjoy their neighbors, and visit each other like they did when I was young.
I long for people to use good ethics in the home, the work place, and foremost in the White House!
I long for common sense sensorship to return to television.
I long for when a man’s word and his handshake stood for something.
I long for women to be ladies, and dress as such, and not allow themselves to be called the profanity they’re referred to as, today.
I long for a cleaner planet, and for mankind to realize that what he does to harm it, will harm him, and his children as well.
Becca,
I don’t want to see acid wash jeans come back, we used to wear them skin tight with our really baggy slouch socks (these things used to get caught in our shoes they were so baggy). I don’t know what we were thinking.
Congratulations Becca on 8 million hits – that’s a MAJOR milestone. Not surprising though ~ your blog, your cards, your thoughtfulness are the draw. Amazing definitely fits you! What I’d like to see come back – (more) politeness and courtesy. It’s those simple little things that cost absolutely nothing, but they make the world such a better place. Life has gotten so crazy and days are so busy, that many people just don’t take that extra second to use those virtues…The other day at breakfast (in the restaurant) there was a family with 3 small children with the youngest just 2. I never heard so many please(s), thank-yous, and the youngest one, trying to catch the attention of the waiter saying – ‘scuse me, ‘scuse me please. It was absolutely precious. But what makes it sad is that it stood out instead of being something we’re used to seeing and hearing. I complimented the parents on their very polite children. Both my dad and I got our big smile of the day from them.
Right now I long for our Gulfcoast to be redeemed. I hope we never allow any more off shore drilling. I live in the Midwest but grew up in California and love the ocean. Some of the most beautiful ocean is in the Gulfcoast. I too long for a day when we are not so greedy and want to protect the beautiful earth that God gave us.
Thank you for giving the blog candy and would love to win it. You are such a generous person.
How about no more spiral perms!!! Don’t know if they even do them any more but does anyone remember then they had the big rubber tubular things that connected on each end after they rolled your hair around them!! Oh I am SO glad that it is SO OUT!!! Another one that 2 people have already said–avocado appliances! Yucky!! And someone mentioned Mars Bars–I would love to see them—are they gone??? I missed that…
I’m totally into the primitive and shabby chic look and hope it never goes out. :) I also love a bargain, so any chance I get to use a coupon is a positive for me. I even share them when I’m shopping and I see someone else purchasing an item that I haven’t used my coupon for. I’m very happy the “big” hair is out, but some people obviously haven’t heard that yet! LOL I’d be happy to see the tight clothes go out. . .really, not even super thin people look good in tight clothes. They simply make you look like you can’t afford to buy clothes that fit (just my opinion). I’d love to see RESPECT come back and stay. Thankfully God will always be with us.
Hip Hugger Pants….really don’t need to see them again!!!
I miss big hair. Really miss it! I wish it would come back so bad. It was 1999 before I finally calmed my hair down and I’m just itching to pull out those hot rollers. Congrats on 8 mil hits. You deserve it.
Bring back pride in dress. this disheveled, unkempt look nowadays is something I can do without
I wish the old time bottle drinks like Dr Pepper and Coke would come back in the returnable bottles. They were sooo good and cold. You would have to bring in a bottle or pay a deposit.
I hope the old camera’s never come back. I sure like the digital ones.
I would like to see good ole family values of the 50s make a return. I do not want to see mullets and mohawks make a return.
Congrats Rebecca!! Your work is fantastic. Never come back (for me) blouses with lots of colors. I remember when I was 15-17, I used to wear blouses full with colors, now I think I looked like a rainbow, LOL.
Thanks for the chance to win.
God bless.
Giovana
I too, hope leisure suits and polyester never EVER return again. I remember spending several hours, at least one day a week, ironing our clothes and sheets and pillowcases. Man, was I glad when we no longer had to do that. I hope that never returns! Some of the kid’s toys are popular again. Lincoln logs and cowboy stuff, guns and holsters. and board games like Monopoly, Clue and battleship, are things my grand children like. Strawberry Shortcake… my daughter loved her when she was little. Now her little girl loves her too. I’m glad they’ve returned. Becca, you sure have a way of helping me dig up the memories! I wish I could tell you how much I enjoy your blog. I get a Lift when I’m down. You teach and inspire me. Your beautiful work never ceases to amaze me. You are like a cherished friend. TYFS! Thank you too for a chance at your generous candy. Blessings! Patty
What about bringing back the leg warmer?!
A group of my girlfriends from college got together last fall for the first time since 1982! We were all on the same dorm floor way back when. Lots of old memories recounted. It was wonderful reconnecting and realizing that we could fall right back into the same old comfortable friendships. We’re definitely not going to wait another 28 years for the next ‘reunion’!
I enjoy hugs and hope they NEVER go out of style – they never will in my book! Thanks again for your blog and for the chance to win.
Hi Becca!
There’s a chocolate bar that I used to love as a child. I remember it had the word “star” in it, and had a chewy caramel-coconut filling. I have never seen it since and would love to have it again!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I wish respect would make a comeback. Most people nowadays don’t even have any respect for themselves let alone anyone else. I agree with a previous commenter who said that it would be nice if people would dress as if they had respect for themselves and others instead of looking like such slobs all the time. It’s very sad when we see how low society has sunk… no wonder our country is in the trouble it’s in.
BECCA BECCA CONGRATS AGAIN. YOU SHOULD HAVE 16 MIL IN HALF
THE TIME NOW THAT PEOPLE ARE GETTING TO KNOW YOU. YOUR WORK
IS JUST SO BEAUTIFUL. AND FOR SHARING IT. GOD BLESS YOU.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS A REAL HAND WRITTEN LETTER OR THANK
YOU NOTE. I DON’T THINK PEOPLE KNOW WHAT A THANK YOU NOTE IS
OR HOW IT IS USED. DROOPY PANTS ON BOYS. I JUST CAN’T UNDER-
STAN WHY THEY THINK THEY ARE SO SHARP IN DROOPY PANTS.
CYNTHIA
I would love for rounded toe shoes to come back. My feet are wide and don’t fit into those tiny pointed toe shoes. Comfort is all that counts with me.
Thanks for the awesome chance to win!
One thing that I never want to see again is high heels and lace socks. Remember that from the 80’s? Oh man I remember seeing it in videos and begging my mom to get me the socks. You had to have the heels, socks, and a mini skirt. Oh I am so glad she didn’t give in, it looks hideous.
Congratulations and thanks for the all the lovely ideas that you have on your blog.
I wish truth and integrity over capital gain would be more the norm. I wish expert opinions rather than every man’s opinion having equal weight even when they have no knowledge of the subject would fill the airwaves.
Family Dinners…..may they always be in style!
Congrads Becca
I wish they would do away with all these club cards you have to show whenever you shop at drugstores, grocery stores. My keys are getting too heavy and I need a bag just for them. ha. ha. Also, if they would just lower the prices for everyone in the first place, we wouldn’t need them.
I would like to see a comeback of drivers slowing down at the yellow light rather than rushing through. I wish people would leave in plenty of time to get to their destination instead of driving at dangerous speeds to be where they want in 5 minutes.
Hello again, Becca.
On a serious note – I wish handwritten letters would come back… it’s heartwarming to get an actual letter in the mail. I wish kindness, compassion and respect for others would come back. I wish those in the media who spout hate daily on their shows (disguised as “news”) would go away.
Whoo hoo… it’s Sunday and I can come back again! LOL!! I guess my last comment will be just to say that I wish intelligence and just plain common sense would come back. By intelligence, I’m not saying everyone needs to be a genius, but we need to always be learning. There’s so much out there to learn… so many great books to read, etc. It’s so sad when someone like Jay Leno can make a comedy act out of asking basic questions about American History, current events, etc. and we laugh when people can’t answer them. We have created a pathetic society where too many people have little or no interest in learning about the world around them. No wonder our country is falling apart.
I guess it would be bell bottom flower pants. Yes, I grew up in the 70’s and we I use to make my own bell bottom flower pants in home economics in High School and I must of thought I was the bomb or something cause my mom has pictures to die for (not!).
Terry
Someone mentioned the peasant blouses that we wore years ago. I would love to see these become popular today!
HUGE Congrats on your big milestone Becca!!! I have to say, please, please, please – never again are we to see Leg Warmers!!!! LOL!!!! (Tell your daughter I saw stirrup pants in my local Target – I nearly died!!) :)
I can remember the days when we couldn’t wear pants to do anything…wow, I am glad those days are gone!!
In 2005, I was injured on the job(I was an MRI tech in a Level 2 trauma center)…they thought it was a moderately easy injury to fix, they would have to graft a ligament from a different wrist compartment to the main wrist compartment(below the thumb) The surgery was uneventful, they grafted a piece of ligament, and put 2 pins in to support those 2 bones while ligament attached on it’s own beyond the micro surgical staples that were used. HOWEVER, 10 days later it was infected with MRSA. (I was told it was because as a healthcare worker…90% of us that work in hospitals have MRS colonized on ourselves and it lives dormant in the nasal and sinus passageways, until you have an open wound, especially one with metal in it.
I was quite ill, ans what was proposed to be a 6 week regiment on super doses of vancomycin (last defense against MRSA ( a superbug, HIV is a super bug, there are also many others)turned into 6 months, and a battle to not lose my hand, OR WORSE have the MRSA enter my blood stream and threaten my life. At the 4th month mark, the MRSA had spread to a third bone, and I was given the choice of trying an oral antibiotic on top of the IV one, or surgery to remove the 3 bones. The doctor was not super positive about the oral antibiotics and was really pushing for the removal of the 3 bones”…best way to ensure it not spreading further, but it is your hand”. I said “OK, how about this, we try it for about 3 weeks, and then do another scan, if there is no improvement, you do the surgery then.”…The doc agreed, 3 weeks later there was NOT EVEN the SLIGHTEST improvement. so, surgery was scheduled 2 days later, I lost three bones, a bit of muscle, a handful of ligaments and tendons. they put a string of antibiotic beads inside around the wrist like a bracelet. Between that and still being on the IV Vancomycin. they believed it would put the MRSA in check.
Afterall, before this happened I was scheduled to have my left knee replaced a few months down the road. NOW, no one wanted to touch my knee…putting the Titanium in my knee would most likely bring the MRSA on again…in the knee.
I was in so much pain, and now I additional pain and nerve damage to deal with in the left hand and wrist…permanent…and DUE TO OVERUSE of my right arm, cause the left was in a cast and semi casts for 6 months I tore muscles in my elbow area of the rt elbow. The torn are of this was cut out, leaving me with 4-5” of missing muscle in the rt upper arm into the elbow.
I was begging the Knee doc. He sent me back to my infectious disease doc for a nasal swap test to see if by some MIRACLE the MRSA was completely gone from my body…a true RARITY. My infectious disease doc said to me, “You and I both know this is going to come back positive, so don’t get your hopes up”
When her nurse called me 4 days later and said there is “NO
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Present” I about fell over, I asked her to double and triple check that it was my test she had. IT WAS!!! a MIRACLE, truly!!
So, I’d be happy to see MRSA ever again!
Susan
WOW!!! When you post, I know I need to open, cuz there will be card, template, food so cool to see or something so cool to learn through your Becca Bits. WOW!!! Seems like a win – win for me! WOW!!! NO this is not a Staples commercial! Your work is just that amazing…I mean Amazing Paper Gracing! WOW!!!
Deebi27/Debbie
Could your hit mark, be a record? If not it should be!
Oops! I would love to see…Love thy neighbor as you love thy self! There is just too much anger in our world. We all put our “pants” on the same way…last time I checked!
Deebi27/Debbie
I don’t think I could ever wear the big baggy shirts with a belt around it that you poofed the shirt a bit and the tight jersey pants again. ugh. In the eighties and along with shoulder pads, apparently it was in style to look top heavy :D Good luck to everyone and thanks becca for the great giveaways!
Morning Becca. Hope you’re having a great week end.
I would love to see “sending cards” come back. I know that many people feel postage and cards are a waste of money, but if the only personal “connection” we have with family that has moved away is a card now and then, I feel that small connection is very important. I find great joy in opening and hanging the cards I recieve at Christmas. It’s a small thing, but each one I recieve is carefully read and then hung in a place of honor. I used to send cards to about 60 people. They would send cards back. One by one, they all stopped sending them. Last year I think 6 people sent them. Everyone is too busy or they say postage costs too much. I wish people would “slow down” and get a little “personal” again. Hugs Cheryl
My last thing I’m glad I don’t do/see…. is ROLLERS in my hair….
Not only don’t I do it anymore but no one dose… we have curling irons or blowers etc… what a wonderful world…
I would love to see kids wanting to work for what they have again. I did the hiring for a grocery store chain and the kids just didn’t want to work. Everything is handed to them nowadays.
I wish that dressing up for church, weddings and funerals would come back. Blessings
I like how the color orange has made a come back..it’s fun to use it in my cards and really brightens things up. I probably don’t want it in my wardrobe but for papercrafts it works.
Great to see knitting is trendy again. I love the modern take on the old craft of knitting with all the beautfiul fibres and designs.
I happen to love stirrup pants, with the big comfy sweater to wear over them! …. well I did when they were in style – but I am not sure I can pull them off still!
Sandra
Something that I wish would disappear and never return is the pants that a lot of the guys wear now a days that hang about mid-way of their back ends, and their pockets are somewhere around their knees. I’m so glad that my son didn’t adopt this “unfashionable” way of dressing.
Another fashion that I hope to never see again, is the square toe shoes. I just think those are so ugly. LOL
I hope shoulder pads never come back! I wish women would take pride in themselves after they get married and try to look nicer when they are out and about. I also wish families would be more together than being pulled in 50 directions! I am glad that new trends keep coming in the crafting world, but I still enjoy going back to old things I have done a long time ago and they seem new again!
April
I tremble at the thought of the “Leisure Suit” returning — it was ghastly! Unfortunately a lot of the sixties decorating and clothing design has resurfaced and it was awful the first time around. I never wanted to resemble the “Mod Squad.”
Congratulations on your 8 million hit milestone, you deserve a serious pat on the back. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Oh I’m glad 80’s shell suits and shoulder pads have stayed away, can’t believe I wore both.
I had a warm feeling shopping recently when popped into a high street store and found brightly coloured stilettos are back in fashion. I loved my yellow pair back in the 80’s…..even though the feeling was warm I still wouldn’t be seen dead in them now. :0
I love that coloring has made a comeback-thanks to Copics. I spent a Saturday stamping and coloring my images like I use to do as a kid. Now I use Copics instead of the Crayola colors. It is so relaxing.
Becca you are a really amazing woman who creates such amazing thingswith your amazing hands. All your creations are really gorgeous, and I just dreamabout being this good some day, even I know, I can never be that.
What I would hate to see come back?The feeling I had, when my oldest son was really sick as a baby and the hospital called us to come, cause they were afraid, he wouldn´t make it. That feeling, I just NRVER ever want to feel again my entire life, and I don´t want anybody else to try it either. It´s soooo awful, it´s impossible to describe.
have a great day everyone.
Biiig hugs Maryann
While getting dressed for church this morning, I thought of something we did MANY years ago…if you had a hairdo that combed towards your face, you put clear fingernail polish on your face to hold the hair close. Some people even used double sided tape.
Bring back Kunzle cakes!
Covered in thick chunky chocolate then chocolate sponge and a dreamy soft centre. Rather like chocolate fondant pudding but tons better. Yummy!!!!
BECCA Congratts on the milestone, when I first started stopping by I was sooo amazed and inspired by your work And still am today! I would love for kids to be able to go outside and play safely like we did when growing up, and letter writing to come back in style too! I want 6 foot tall privacy fences to go away so neighbors can visit each other again! Some of my best memories are of conversations I had with friends (neighbors) over the chain link fence, while our children tossed a ball back and forth to each other!
I know a lot of people love them but I hate the look of Crocs and wish that they would go away. I also wish that there were higher standards for how employees dress. I’ve been in stores and think “You’re allowed to wear that to work?”
Never want to see “droopy drawers” again – you know, the boys that wear their pants’ waist at the knees, and think letting everyone see their underwear out the top is attractive. YUK – don’t these kids have mirrors? Never want that style to come back around.
Congrats on the 8,000,000 hits, Becca! That milestone is truely AMAZING. I would like to see every new house built with a large front porch so families can visit with neighbors and to have a comfy place to just simply take some time out of their busy lives to sit and relax.
I do have my limits, but I really don’t care much what is in style. I still have clothes from 20 years ago that NEVER go out of style with me (and some of them have come back in style, like paisley clothes). Also, I still get perms just because I look terrible with straight hair.
Congratulation on 8 million hits. What a monumental accomplishment!!
Thank you for sharing your talent.
Congrats on your milestone 8 million hits, Becca, though none of us are surprised! ;-)
Hope you’ve had time to complete all your many deadlines & cannot wait to reap the glory of your amazing grace!!!
Becca,
Congrats on all those hits! Thanks for the chance to win blog candy. What I never want to see come back in style is girdles——-ouch!
Mary
Would love it if our kids could roam around the neighbourhood or ride their bikes all over the place the way we used to when we were kids without having to worry about them and/or what “predators” or mean teenagers they may encounter.
Love the fact that knitting is back and bigger then ever! I hope that 70’s polyester one piece jumpsuits never come back! Oh and the micro mini, really put something on!
Love the book! What a great idea that was. Your the best not sure how you come up with all of the beautiful things that you make.
Keep up the great work. Thanks for the chance for blog candy.
Here’s my third time to try to win your blog candy! :0) Love all the comments which bring back so many memories. I hope showing respect for each other would return. Am tired of a lot of the self centered attitude of people. Just wish everyone had a job and was proud of it. Don’t want the bell bottoms to return. Thanks again for the great blog candy. Happy day!
Shirley L.
Roseville, CA
HI Becca
Happy Sunday -hope you are havig a wonderful day.
I am so glad our family gets together each week -sometimes twice a week to have dinner together.
And I hope rollers never come back -it is so nice to see the more casual hair styles now
Becca,
I hope that Tim Holtz and his wonderful ideas never go away!
Thanks for a chance to win great blog candy!
congrats!! I’d like to see the bad economy go away so I could sell my house in MI for what it is actually worth and then I could buy one in St Louis where I’m working and my family would be together again! :-) thanks for the chance to win! Tracy
I’d love to see the real baggy jeans go away forever! Just want folks to pull their pants up!!!! They call it a waist size in the jeans for a reason … they go on the waist of your body, not your rear! Major pet peeve of mine … thanks for the venting outlet LOL and the chance to win some fun stuff!
Becca,
Thanks for the chance to win, something I hope doesn
con’t (my comment got posted in mid stream)
I hope the large boom boxes don’t ever come back.
One thing I am happy to see is the more and people and businesses recycling. Lots of people going green.
DeniseB
Becca, congrats to you I just love your web site i always look forward to your web site and your cards even though i cant seem to make them, blessings to you
colleen
i wish the color mustard would disappear from everything except mustard. thanks goodness for blue. :)
Never want to see again – “teased” hairstyles and long hair for men(like the Beatles).
Want to see again – a neighborhood store selling old fashioned malted milkshakes and icecreams.
Hi Becca
Congrats on your 8M and your beautiful book.
I would like to see some respect from the younger generation, I taught my boys to respect other people and I hope when they have childern they will do the same.
Take care
Hugs
Donna
I agree with Teela………Lets dress up for church, graduations, weddings etc. Flipflops, Tshirts and shorts just don’t cut it.
I am glad to see stylish jewlery coming back into style…….remember pop beads??????/
I’m very thankful we don’t have a house with a “conversation pit”. It’s scary to think we looked at one that did before we bought this house! This house is getting older, but NO pit!
Thanks Becca, for another chance to win great stuff!!
Thanks for the chance to win something. I don’t usually win, but maybe I’ll get lucky this time. Love your cards and the Becca Bits.
I wish Japanese beetles would go away and never come back! They show up every year to menace my roses and other flowers and now I see that they are attacking my green beans. Grrrr. I’m sure they play a role in the ecosystem, but for the life of me I can’t think of what it is.
I wish capri pants (in our day we called them pedal pushers) would go away. I haven’t seen them on a woman yet that I thought looked attractive. They cut you off height wise and you have to pretty much have a perfect figure to wear them.
Mary
Layering neon colored socks! Why in the world did I ever do that! Thanks for all you inspiration and the chance to win some great prizes!!
Looking thru an old photo album and saw myself in those lovely cat eye glasses so popular in the late 60’s for little girls. OUCH- please, never come back into fashion.
Thanks Becca for the walk down memory lane.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the days of school doors being open and unlocked could return?!!
Thanks again for the opportunity to win some blog candy.
I would love to see respect come back – respect for elders, the country, the flag, and God. Congrats on the milestone and on the wonderful blog.
Beccka;
I hope you always share your blog with us. You have such a gift of bringing people from all over the world together in harmony. Your work is so beautiful and I love your quotes. Anyone who reads these comments has to have a smile on their face. It has been the best blog ever. I think I have read almost all of them.
I love contemporary Christian songs, but it makes my heart sing to sing the old hymns (Amazing Grace, Power in the Blood). Thanks for offering the blog candy. Love your blog
Hi Becca – thanks again for your inspiration with card making. Don’t let the “Mullet” hairstyle come back again! Remember those? Why did anyone think they looked great.
Thanks for the walk down memory lane. It’s fun to read all the blogs.
I’m glad to see that business casual is in at most work places. Working in panty hose & a suit never made my work better. It is a trend I hope is here to stay. I hope frosted hair never comes back in style.
Congratulations on your milestone. I would love to see the music of the 60’s come back again. I love that sound. And by the way, I LOVED stirrup pants and wish they WOULD come back!! LOL!
Black nail polish – hope to never see it again.
I don’t like the hipster pants. I can’t believe I came across a photo of myself and I should have pulled my pants up to my waist not my hips!!! I hope I win, my birthday is tomorrow!!!
I would really hate to see hippi’s back in stye with the flower power, bell bottom pants, handle bar mustaches, head bands, and beads. They were cool in the 70’s, but can’t see them fitting in today’s modern days.
Really high boots that go over the knee- I think they are back (according to Oprah) and I am not happy about it… I won’t be wearing them.
Thanks for the great blog candy opportunity. I hope you had a great weekend too.
Congrats, Becca. I hope that polyester double knits never come back in style. Although that stuff was wonderful for wash & wear, nope, don’t want to see it again.
Hi Becca,
My daughter and I really hope that mullets never, ever, EVER come back in style.
Can’t wait to check out the blog to see what is up and coming with Spellbinders. I love their line!
Blessings to you,
Cathie
Hmm, I’m trying to think of what I’d like to stay gone, well even though I already said it, I’ve GOT to say it again ~ RAP “music” (I put that in quotes because I don’t think it IS music!) It’s offensive and teaches a terrible image of and toward women.
Come back for good ~ common sense and common decency. I can only hope! Thanks for the chance at your yummy candy. Even more thank you for sharing your God given talent and creative thinking with us!
R/
I would love to see the old Ford vehicles come back. Wish everyone wasn’t in such a hurry so we could slow down a bit and drive those ole vehicles.
Wishing everyone a wonderful week.
Becca, congratulations on the 8M page hits! One day, I was looking for some inspiration, so I went back through a bunch of your older post again. Wow, what “wonderful” things you have done! It was really enjoyable to view it again! The book you put together is sooo beautiful, a terrific collection of your marvelous projects. What an idea! Something I hope never returns again… On the news last night I heard a few cases of whooping cough have shown up at area hospitals. I so hope we don’t see a resurgence of these diseases that have been almost eradicated. I to would love to see our wonderful country “healthy” again! My son has been laid off from his good job (13 years for auto manufacturer) for a year and a half now. We don’t know if he will ever be called back for more than just a week here and and a week there when someones on vacation or sick. Except for odd jobs he hasn’t been able to find another full time job. Employers are not taking applications. He’s married with three young children. His wife is working too, but they’re struggling not to lose their house and stay afloat. Lots of people are struggling. I pray a lot that the recession and the wars will be over soon, very soon! Blessings! Patty
Congrats on the milestone Becca! Some many things I wish would never come back but and go away. The current recession and war would be a the top of the list.
BECCA BECCA I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY OF
HAVING MY NAME PUT IN THE BOWL TO WIN ALL THAT BLOG CANDY.
THAT WOULD BE A REAL MIRACLE.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE CHANGE IS HAVING GOD IN OUR SCHOOLS,
BUILDINGS ETC. AND ALSO IN OUR HEARTS. I THINK YOU ARE A
DIFFERENT PERSON WHEN YOU HAVE GOD IN YOUR HEART.
AGAIN CONGRATULATIONS ON THE BIG MILESTONE.
CYNTHIA
Congratulations on this wonderful milestone!!!
I would like to see God, responsibility, accountability and morality come back. It time to stop blaming everyone else and passing the buck. Oh… and a bit of good old-fashioned common sense :o)
I would never like to see the self-centered, ‘me’, you hurt my self-esteem attitude go AWAY… FAR FAR AWAY!
We need to build character not self-esteem!
Loved your book. It is just simply gor-jus!
Thank you for sharing
Correction:
I WOULD like to see the self-centered, ‘me’ you hurt my self-esteem attitude go AWAY…FAR FAR AWAY!
* there should not be a never after the word would in this sentence…
Sorry about that, Marilyn
I loved collars that were popular several years back. I cross-
stitched, crocheted, and painted many. Wish they would come
back. Hope wide bottom pants NEVER come back! Love your
blog—keep us inspired! God bless! Diane
Becca i’ve already commented earlier but reading all these hilarious comments of all, i had a great time laughing, smiling and remembering some of these outfits and hair. I can only say, when they said no more good old wack on the bum for children,,, thats when the discipline also flew out the window,,, wonder who decided that??,, well,, bring back the wack on the bum and we’ll have more disciplined children. LOVE your website, such an inspiration every day!!
I’m with lots of you on the bell bottoms. I can’t stand them! Though they do have “flaired” jeans in style now and my 12 yo dd loves them. Ugh. Halter tops are in again, but I hope they don’t redo the Tube tops. :)
My favorite thing I waited forever to come back were open toed shoes (dress) and the longer “A” style skirts. I loved those!
thanks for the generous give-away, Becca!
I love progress and I embrace change but every now and then, I long for the “good old” days.
Thanks for the chance Becca, I have to say I hope pants with straps on the bottom never come back or the ones with lots of pleating at the top we used to call them harem pants when we were kids. We would put our hands in our pockets and see who could fan them out the farthest.
Oh, how I wish I was 12 again…
I agree with a previous commenter… there are many single things I could pick that I wish would come back, but I’d really just love to see “the good old days” come back. A slower pace of life… the world seemed like a nicer place… a safer place… life was just more enjoyable.
Congrats on another milestone! Yay! Your so kind with all that you give away here! God Bless Your Heart!
I love gingham and plaid in my scrapbooking paper, but I am so happy that it hasn’t come back in style like the awful ugly pants my Mom made me wear when I was a child. If I could insert a picture here to show you I would. I can remember the orange and puke colour green pants that I use to own but proudly say got passed on to someone else. So ya, I am glad that this isn’t back in style. Have a great day and thanks for sharing info about Spellbinders Blog Frenzy. Take Care.
Leave the “need to be super at everything you do” syndrome in the past please…..oh wait,,,,it is still going strong….Let children and adults decide if they want to be best at something…It is ok to dabble and have many interests….A 4 year old doesn’t need to have a goal of being the “best” anything….except being a child. We have become so goal driven and I’m not against having goals but we are pushing them too hard and too young and it is hurting some.
Congradulations on the milestone! What happen to the days when everything wasn’t planned by the minute, and children were outside playing and not watching TV or playing games on Nitendo’s or Cell Phones. I would love those days to be back.
I would love to see a few shows on television made like the old Carol Burnett or Dean Martin shows. I am probably dating myself but I enjoyed that type of fun.
Becca, my past 10 years have been bad for me, healthwise, and I am now beginning to finally feel better. Thankfully, there are still doctors out there looking for results and not just trying to treat symptoms. So, I am hoping that my “old” self is coming back. Haha.
What I’d really like to see come back, is my waistline!!! But since it hasn’t, I hope mini-skirts for anyone over 20 never comes back. One more thing I’d like to see go away is Hawaiian shirts, except in Hawaii. My husband loves them, and me not so much! I’d also like to see everyone enjoying dressing up more, the casual look has gone too far, ragged jeans and shorts in church are too much for me. I’m all about comfort too, but you can be neat and comfortable at the same time. Of course, most of all I’d like everyone to slow down especially on the highway. Impatience like trying to make it through the light before it really becomes red, passing everyone you possibly can, weaving in and out of traffic, even when it’s dangerous, talking on your phone and texting while driving, all contribute to accidents, injuries and deaths. Shaving a few minutes off your time traveling or taking a call is just not worth someone’s life.
Hey Becca, Keeping Cool?
It’s hot, here in Ontario, and I am indoors with the a/c on. Just made me think that one thing I could do without seeing, again, tube tops. Aaaagggg! Unless one is 95lbs. soaking wet, they are hideous.
I did like those little tops we called ‘pop tops’ when I was a kid. Little cotton short pullon blouses. Loved wearing my orange one with my lime green peddle pushers. Ha ha!
Oh my goodness, am I showing my age??? Better stop!
Have a cool and fun week.

Congrats on the amazing milestone!!
There are so many fashions from the 80’s that I really hope don’t come back, mullets, shoulder pads, MC Hammer pants.
being a new fan of facebook I have found several long lost friends from college and high school. You don’t realize how fast the years have flown until you catch up and hear what others have been through.
Well, I hope big hair never comes back. My hair is straight as can be. As a teen I could never be in style. Really, what does it matter — I’m not in style now! Now what I really hope comes back are Jobs, and higher house values. And has anyone seen my energy? It is gone. I have looked high and low. And I don’t think all the looking is helping much.
Wow! I’m not surprised at the number of hits this site gets. Your designs are awesome! I am happy to see that pretty dresses have come back. Ruffles, lace, frills. Now the shoes are something else. I can’t see why in the world anyone would want to wear these big clunky shoes with these beatiful dresses.
Can’t wait for thenew Spellbinders to come out! It’s like waiting for Christmas morning!
Nehru jackets…. Remember them? I’m glad they aren’t “in” any more.

Wish my old internal “thermostat” would come back! Now I’m overheated all the time….well, not all the time, but often enough!!! LOL
I’m so glad that it’s in style to be faithful to your spouse. And love them for the rest of their life. I thank God for mine many times a day. You know the saying you save the best for last. Well God saved to best for last for me. I’m so thankful he did. I love my hubby. He’s a wonderful, man, son, husband, father, and now papa. But he is a wonderful friend too. God made a true treasure in him.
I would love to see kinky permed hair and teal colored kitchen appliances come back. I do hope though that exercised outfits of the 80’s NEVER come back. I remember going to “Jazzersize” class in navy blue tights, red & white striped leg warmers, a red leotard and a white head band across my forehead! I thought I looked so sharp too!!!
Bra’s should be optional. A lady should be allowed to dress comfortably and still be modest. It surely must have been a man that invented them! Why we have allowed ourselves to being duped into “conforming” is beyond me.
Children should not be given every new thing that hits the market. Phones and Ipods in elementary? New electronic games all the time? When the little girl next door mentioned she would soon be getting a phone, I let her know that my children would be getting theirs when they had a job. In the mean time they could enjoy being children. Yes, my kids are envious at times, no doubt, but they also love nature, creating things and actually playing. Novel huh? Oh, they also know that we love them. We show them by spending time WITH them.
BTW, I love bell bottoms and while I don’t have the figure for them anymore, I don’t see why those who do should be denied. At least they covered the body. :-)
Becca, I praise God for you. You demonstrate so many of His qualities and in doing so lift many of us up a bit higher. Hugs!
I would like to see the common courtesy come back. When you call a place on the phone you get a “real” humon being to talk to. When you pull in the gass station…they came and pumped your gas and cleaned your windshields…when you get to the cashier. they talked to you instead of not thinking that we are the reason they get a pay check. When I go through a drive through…they paid attention to me instead of talking to their friends they are working with….when people said hello when they passed you instead of being on their cell phones. People are in all…just plain rude now days..I would like to see respect come back. Whew got that out of my system…
Thannk you for not being rude and giving us the oppertunity to win and for taking so much time to share with us.
Thank you
Yeah…bell bottoms…lib-frizzes…altho I just got a new perm and that’s what it looks like, for now. Leisure suits…I dated a guy who could wear anything off the rack and it looked great on him….then he showed up in a lesiure suit and that really set the romance back……high gas prices….I still feel ripped off…because we’re still being ripped off….piercings except for ears and tattoos. Having worked in Surgery and ER can I tell you how bad they look as you get older? Resist the temptation, ladies. Cell phones….I wish they had not been invented as it just gives a rude genmeration an excuse for further and more dangerous rudeness.
I would like to see aids disappear and a cure for diabetes found. these are not the things you ask for but are the things heavy on my heart today.
I see those shorts in all different colors with that white piping are back. Where are the fashion police????? Never was a good look.
Hi Becca, I hope that penny loafers never come back! LOL! I never had a bright shinny penny to put in them anyway!
Hi Becca,
I have watched a lot of thing come back . I hope to see a lot more come back. Keep doing what your doing I just love all your work.
