Blog Candy: I’m Celebrating . . . . . . 2 years of blogging!! More than 500 posts and 1000 pictures behind me, the time has unbelievably flown by! Take it from me, the pleasure has been all mine!! Getting to know you all, keep busy and growing with in the craft have been a blessing.
In celebration of the two year anniversary, I’m giving some blog candy. Central to what I’m giving is my one of my favorite Spellbinders Frames. I thought it would be a neat item to give because through feedback you all have inspired me to do a tutorial on the Woven Lattice Card that I made in December. I should have the tutorial ready and posted in the next day or two :-)In the meantime, here are the rules for the Blog Candy. Feel free to submit your name once each day from Sunday, February 7th until the end of the candy which will be Friday, February 12th at Midnight. I’m including a special secret bonus, if the name that I’ve picked has entered at least 5 of the 6 days the Blog Candy is available. I’ll announce the winner on Saturday morning and will give the winner 48 hours to respond to me through my contact page before I pick the next name.Okay, so here’s what I’d love for you to share in your comment . . . my daughter told me about a show she watched called the Buried Life. On the show the four guys who are cast members have a list of 100 things they want to do before they die. For every one thing they cross off their list, they help a stranger cross one item off of the strangers "Bucket List". Surely you’ve heard of "Bucket List" right? If not, please google it before you leave your comment. For each day you enter, I want to know, one item from your "Bucket List." They say not to put your dreams off until "someday" so I hope this is the start of a list for you. :-) Here are some of the listed examples they checked off on the show – plant a tree, help someone build a house, give a stranger a $100.00 bill, send a message in a bottle, pay for someone’s groceries . . . you get the idea? I can’t wait to see what you come up with. SHAREthis TWEETTHIS EMAILthis |

You have inspired me to start my own bucket list and one of the things on it is to visit at least five more national parks. They are so beautiful– I love nature and use it in my cards often.

I would like to donate my time and some supplies to teach papercrafting at a woman’s shelter in town.
1st off let me say thank you for taking the time to share all your dreams, struggles and spectacular projects. You are a blessing to many Becca. It’s funny, my husband and I are married 35 years and tend be same old same old. This last summer we stepped out of our comfort zone and flew out west for a wonderful 3 week tour of Arizona, Utah and Ca. The newness and beauty of each day really sparked something fresh within our relationship. So… each month we plan to try something new. Our church has so many wonderful opportunities to serve that we can start right there. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
To see God’s beauty at its grandest … to see the redwood trees!!
Congratulations on your 2 year blog anniversary! I am thankful that you share your creativity with us in this way.
Volunteer to mentor girls.
I would like to learn to roller skate. I only went once, when my daughter was in grade school, and spent most of my time flat on the floor. Congrats on 2 years! I LOVE seeing your creations, and trying some of the ideas myself! Thanks Becca, for all you do!
I read that you can volunteer in Africa to work with elephants. Don’t know if I ever will, but I really want to.
#1 on my bucket list is to visit Switzerland and Austria in the summer. I love the mountains but don’t care for snow.
tour the west coast of US
On my bucket list is to see the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade and the Tournament of Roses parade in person. I’ll be back every day to put something else from my list!
Hike to the top of a local hill
I want to be financial able to help my best friend with her medical and family finance needs more than I have been able to do so far. Thank you for the inspiration, I am going to work on my Bucket list. Thank you again.
I would like to say thank you Becca for sharing your beautiful creations with us. Yours is my favorite blog I follow because yours is a sweet spirit! I know that when I browse through your lovely entries that I will sense the presence of God. Next, thank you for your very generous blog candy offer! Someone will be blessed by it indeed! Finally, on my bucket list I will one day hand a homeless person (not someone with their hand out on a street corner) but someone I see sleeping outside, a $100 bill. And I will pay for them to stay in a hotel-not a dirty, cheap motel, but one where they can clean up and sleep well for 2 or 3 nights. This is just one of the desires of my heart! Blessings to you!
WOW generous blog candy! I’ll try and post a couple of days later this week, but am having neck surgery Monday and will be out of it for several days.
Smiles~
Marilyn
Okay..I will begin a bucket list. The first on it is , spent time with someone that is lonely and let them know someone cares.
I did start a bucket list this year. One of the items on my list is to stick to my weight loss program and get to my goal weight. On the way, I want to inspire others to stick it out with me.
Congratulations on two years of blogging, and thank you! Your blog is an inspiration. I want to visit Washington DC.
I want to see the Vietnam Wall in Washington DC
Congrats on your anniversary….I truly love visiting your blog. Thanks for taking the time to share your work with us. Now..my answer to the question–I’d love to find forever homes for all the animals in our local rescue–just to see the look of happiness on the dogs and cats faces would be a blessing.
My biggest dream is to see the glorious redwood trees! That is number one on my bucket list. I absolutely love all your wonderful creations! You are my inspiration.
BECCA BECCA YOU ARE THE SWEETIST. I WOULD LIKE TO HELP A
FAMILY WITH FOOD FOR EASTER AND THEN ON THRU THE YEAR. I KNOW
OF A FAMILY AND I AM SURE THEY WOULD APPRECIATE THE HELP.
CYNTHIA B.
Well, one of my bucket list items is to visit every state – all 50 of them. (and I have a few to go!)
Thanks for sharing all the inspiration these two years! And wonderful blog candy.
I would love to go to one of the “big” art retreats like Art & Soul or Artfest.
Susan
One of the items on my bucket list: to see the Roman Colosseum. Love your work…it is always beautiful!
I would love to have enough money to help out my girls and my mom.
Becca – congrats on 2 years my dear! I so enjoy your blog. As for my Bucket List – I’ve always wanted to learn sign language.
Congrats! I’d love to visit Paris!
Congrats Becca on the 2 years. I have only known about your website for approximately 3 months or so. Boy am I glad God led me to your blog. You are such an inspiration. I absolutely love your work.
I don’t have a bucket list, but guess I really need to start one. At least I’ve never really thought of it as a bucket list, but maybe it already is. Anyway, I would really love to visit Greece.
Thanks for the chance to win the blog candy.
Congratulation Becca…..yea!!!
One of my all time on my list is……to see the sunset in the west……My DH and I are planing a trip to CA. just so I can see this…
there are more on my list, but you just ask for one……thank you so much….Oh I live on the east of the Mississippi…….
What a neat idea! One thing I would love to do is for my hubby and I to take our horses on a road trip.
Congratulations on the two year mark.
I’ve done little things in the past like paying for someone’s milk and bread when they were counting their change to pay for it or giving some cash to a little old lady at the grocery store whom I overheard saying she’d like something, but couldn’t afford it. That’s the kind of thing I’d like to do more of. It’s a terrific feeling!
I’d love to scuba dive the Great Barrier Reef before I die too! *grin*
I make a point of telling at least one student in school something to make them smile each day – I try to do this to this for the students who don’t have a lot to smile about, whether it is telling them that I love the color of their top on them, or just sharing a joke with them, as long as I get a genuine smile out of them, I am satisfied. This is a selfish act, as I get to see immediate results. And it makes me smile.
Hello! I born in Russia, but now I live in Greece. I have married with Greek man and my children are Greek too. They never have going to Russia. So, the first thing in my “Bucket List” is going to Russia all together.
Becca, thank you so much for the inspiration you give so generously. I had to think about what would be on my bucket list. I would like to take the long postponed trip to Europe with my husband as this would be my gift to him for our 40 wonderful years together.
Learn to swim is one thing on my list
My eighty-five year old husband served in Italy and Africa during World War II as a very young man. He talks about his tour of duty there quite often and I would love to be able to take him back there to see what has become of these places.
That’s on my Bucket List.
I want to cross Canada and the US in a car to see North America. It will take a year or two but to meet as many people as possible and to make new friends
I’d like to visit Jefferson’s Monticello.
Thank you for sharing your inspiration and lovely creations with us every day! Thank you also for the lovely blog candy. Someone will be blessed to receive it!
I would love to one day hand a homeless person who is sleeping outside a $100 bill and 2-3 nights stay in a clean hotel room.
I LOVE that show! Wow what a big question but I’ve been watching and it has me pondering the same one. I guess I’ll start off small I want to get published! I got rejcted from a bunch of design teams then had some health issues now I’ve let my blogging go and motivation to get published right with it. Hopefully I’ll be able to turn it around soon:) you inspire me so much. I’ll have to dig deep for what else is on my bucket list- how fun!
Happy Blogaversary! Love seeing your projects. You are so creative… especially with Spellbinders dies… that one is on my wish list for a while now. One of the items would be to take a photography class. :o) TFS!
I would love to go to Ireland to see where my roots started.
First I would love to say A Big Thank you for all your wonderful art you have shown us dear, You truly are one of the most talented artist. I so love visiting your blog dear.
On my bucket list my #1 thing would be to become and better Christian. And by doing that I would have to start out by learning to forgive and forget to the person that has hurt me so much in this world. I think once I can tackle that the rest would fall so easily behind.
You make the most beautiful cards I have ever seen! Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you for two wonderful years of sharing your amazing gifts with all of us. First and foremost for my list, and I would like it to be my way of thinking is to “Celebrate the magic in ordinary days” – each day is a gift from God, and I hope to live by that thought each and every one of them. I think we all need to appreciate how magic our ordinary can be!
To teach adults to write-there are an devastating number of illiterate people in our great country, and I would want to share the joy of communication.
Becca you are blessed in so many areas of your life it may not seem like it at times but you inspire so many others with your kindness and caring nature. I am subscribed to so many web sites most I don’t have the time to look at any more, but yours I make sure to check every time I see it in my inbox. On my “Bucket List” (that movie made me cry) is to help someone who would then turn around and help someone else. I have already started setting up times to help at the local food bank.
Congrats Becca on your 2nd Blogaversary! I am celebrating my first right now! You have been a wonderful source of inspiration and thoughtfull introspection.
I started a bucket list several years ago when I was a more avid scrapbooker. I have crossed off several of my “100 things to do before I die” list. One that remains is to visit each of the 50 States.
{{{hugs}}}
Ever hear of a Bucket Head? Well my Bucket List is in my head……but in order to really do my list, my #1 priority on my list is to find and develop the discipline to loose 60 lbs. Your Blog Candy is calorie free!!
First off, I want to congratulate you on your 2-year anniversary!
And then, one thing on my bucket list that I want to do is see Asia! I love everything japanese, chinese, viatnamese etc. and especially the food! I want to travel all of Asia and visit those places I dream about!
Congratulations on your second anniversary! I have a lot of things on my bucket list but would love to get one of my dogs certified to be a care dog to visit hospitals and care facilities. I love doing things for others. When I see a person in uniform, I always say thank you for serving our country. Your bucket list idea is great and causes one to reflect on one’s life. Thank you!

Thanks Becca for a chance to win. One of the things on my bucket list is to see the Redwoods and we are going there in June. Lucky me—
I would like to go out of the country sometime.
Becca; first off Congratulations on your 2nd year anniversary of your blog.
I so enjoy visiting your blog each and every day. You give us all such great inspiration and I thank you for that.
Also, what a wonderful and gracious giveaway you are offering.
Guess now is as good time as ever to start with my ‘bucket list’. I wish to stop smoking within the next 6 months
Colleen
Your creations are so inspiring and beautiful! I would love to vist Italy again and maybe spend about a month there. It is a beautiful country.
Congratulation on your 2 year blog anniversary!
My first thing on the bucket list is to get a college degree….
Congratulations on your 2 year anniversary. I think I must have followed your blog every day for nearly the whole of that time – at least, since I started blogging and my 2 year anniversary is on the horizon as well.
One thing I have on my ‘bucket list’ is to cruise the Norwegian Fjords. It’s been a dream of mine for years but somehow have never got to do it. One day …..
Now I’ll have to sit and think of other things and make them happen rather than just wait to see what the days bring.
I have a few things on my list.. hard to choose just one. First of all, congratulations on two years! You provide a LOT of inspiration and I always aspire to make bows like yours. (Thanks for the video by the way). One of the things on my list is to buy my dad a steak dinner sometime, just him and me.
Congrat’s on the blog #’s and ty for giving us all a chance to win such wonderful candy.
My wish/goal is to drop some weight. sighs…such a permanent battle…smiles…
Congrats…..to me :)….. 2 years of YOU!!!!!!!!
Congratulations on your 2nd anniversary. How exciting! One thing on my bucket list is to visit Australia.
Thanks for the chance to win.
It is on my bucket list to go on a cruise. Panama, Alaska, doesn’t matter.
To see a part of this great big world.
Learn to speak French fluently
Hi, congrats!! Two years, yippee. Love everything you do.
Happy 2nd Blogerversary!
One thing I have always wanted to do is visit Hawaii.
Thanks for the first chance at your awesome blog candy.
Congratulations on your anniversary! Your work is awesome; thanks for sharing it with others!
I would like to learn more about computers so that I could have my own blog some day!
Thanks!
Jenny L.
Thanks for your wonderful inspiration Becca! I want to sky dive even though I am very afraid of heights!
What fun Rebecca! Congratulations on your blogaversary!!!!! One item on my Bucket List is take a trip to London. That’s a biggie, and I certainly hope I get to do it someday!
Congratulations. You are one of the few blogs that I take the time to check and read regularly. I love your cards and work. They are always so beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for all you do and for sharing it with us.
Now for my bucket list item: Go on a stamping cruise with my friends. I have never been on a cruise but I think it would be absolutely awesome for it to be a stamping cruise and be able to share all the fun with my closest friends.
Hi Becca
Congratulations! What an achievement – 500 posts and 1000 pictures! And every one a winner I might add! I feel I should be offering you blog candy, rather than the other way around, as you give so much of yourself and your talent!
One of the things I want to do is visit all of those people on my Christmas card lists, especially the elderly ones, whom I haven’t seen for years. Every December as I write the cards and letters, I think to myself that the next year will be the one when I will make those visits. Needless to say, we are now in February…..!
Thank you for giving me a nudge in the right direction.
Thanks and hugs
Anne (UK)
I want to see and photograph the aurora borealis!
congrats Becca on your anniversary..that’s awesom!!! on my list I’d love to be able to help all of the homeless people in our country. I think there is no need for our country to have homelss living on the streets with no food/shelter. I always was taught to take care of your own before you go off and help take care of others (meaning other countries). Don’t get me wrong, I love that we help other countries, but our own should be on the list first.
Thanks for achance to win your awesom blog candy.
Hugs
Nancy T.
Wow! I was just ready to type when I noticed Shawna, above me, had put just what I was about to put! I love London! And there are ways to go fairly inexpensively. I just want to be well enough to make a return trip. We have made friends in a church we visited there. I want to see them again.
One thing I would like to do is visit our nations capital in the springtime! Would love to see all those cherry blossoms!
Wow! What a wonderful idea. First thing that came to mind is to go back to school. Now I will spend the rest of the day coming up with a “bucket List” for myself. Not only do I love to check your blog everyday it also makes my day when I see all the talent God gave you. Thank you.
Thank you so much for all your inspirations.
I hope I am able to carry out a promise I made to my mother…I will always be there for my stepfather in her absence.
I try to visit your page EVERY SINGLE DAY! You are quite the inspiration to me and, I’m sure, to many! I started my bucket list two years ago and am pleased to say that “it’s really FUN getting off that couch”. When you have something to aim for… a goal to reach, it is much easier than to say… “I’ll do it SOMEDAY!” Setting a time limit actually make my goals and bucket list more attainable. So, what’s next on mine? To help someone achieve THEIR dreams and goals…even if it is just one. I am helping to send a boy I know on a church mission that he feels will help many in return. Make it happen! THANKS, Becca! You’re the best!
Congratulations, Becca – we’ve enjoyed it as much as you have! My bucket list… I’ll start with a biggie. I’ve had a dream for many, many years to create a women’s retreat for women who are in crisis, in sorrow, whatever, and if money is an issue, they can come for whatever they can afford, if anything. I always thought it was impossible (impossible/not qualified/not enough money etc etc) 3 years ago I went out on a VERY precarious limb, and with 2 partners, purchased nearly 20 acres above Kootenay Lake in BC. Now my circumstances have changed, and I cannot afford to keep my portion. Finding a way to do so AND make this dream a reality is the top of my bucket list!!!
Congrats Becca, I love your blog and look forward to seeing what you have to show each day. First on my list would be to visit each National Park. I have been to Great Smokey Mountain National Park, now I need to see the rest.
I would like to do something that would make God prouder of me than He ever has before!! You work is” AMAZING”!!! Thanks for sharing your gift with us!(this is the first time I have ever tried this “blog candy stuff”) what fun!
Congratulations on your 2 year Anniversary! You inspire us all.
I want to do work-study on a grape vineyard in Israel.
Stand in the center of Times Square on New Year’s Eve!
I’m going to make cards for the Children’s Cancer Hospital in Michigan. Thanks for all the beautiful projects you share with us! You are an amazing artist! Congrats on your 2nd Anniversary!
I haven’t given much thought to a bucket list, but I like this challenge. It’s really making me think! One thing I’d like to do is visit Spain.
To some day have the courage to learn to drive. My hubby has driven me EVERYWHERE over the past 30 years. I worry that one day he’ll no longer be able to drive and I won’t be able to do it for him. I should’ve learnt years ago when I was younger NOT as I am close to approaching 50!
Just a note to thank you so much for your blog that you supply each
week–you are such a blessing! Second, I thank God for your talent
and willing to reach out to others to share. I plan on viisting a resident
in the Nursing Home to take some bath gel and try to do a different
resident every week or two. We need to be thankful for our health
and wealth and to be able to share.
My foremost bucket list item is to finish the projects, i.e., quilt and cross stitch frame, that I have started and have been waiting for a couple of years or more. Congrats on your 2 years of wonderful inspiration to all your followers.
Blessings
Becca
Such a great idea, it is so interesting to read the entries. So many of them are mine as well. Love your blog.
I want to visit the Grand Canyon
I have tons in my list. One of them is to become a mother.
Happy blog anniversary! The first thing that comes to mind for me is to take a trip with a friend. Something I’ve never done. It looks like I’ll be able to cross that off my list this year as my best friend and I are planning to go to Paris for 1-3 months this September.
Becca, congratulations on your 2nd anniversary. We readers are the winners because we get to experience you amazing talent every day.
My bucket list is long and picking the most important wish is hard. I guess seeing all 50 states would be the first on the list. Only 14 or 15 more states to go and I will work on that this summer.
Blessings to you……
Congratulations Becky – thanks for the fun, the inspiring thoughts and the artistic inspiration!
One item I would really like to do is :
travel cross country with my husband and kids.
Sandra
Hello Becca, your blog’s are so enspiring to each of us. I would have to say the first thing on my bucket list is something you do everyday. I want to start our easy by having a word of encouragement for someone every single day. I would love to be able to make someone feel better about themselves. Especially if they are having a bad day. There are so many day’s all someone needs is a friendly face and a :).
Mine is to visit Hawaii.. always wanted to do that..
To go to England, Scottland, and Ireland, and see all of the beautiful countrysides, and landmarks, and get the cheance to meet new people.
Hi Becca, congratulations on your anniversary, I love all the things you do. Your tutorials are great, my kids comment on how calm your voice is so the first thing on my list is to keep my voice nice and calm and see if it makes a difference when discipline is needed. God be with you.
Congratulations! I’d like to learn to speak Russian.
Thanks for offering the candy, and congrats on the 2 years completion! Keep it up for a long time, as I love coming here for inspiration!
I want to ride a train on a real journey not just a few minutes excursion or a ride at the zoo or something.
Becca,
I do have a “bucket List” it’s in my head but I do have one none the less. Perhaps I should be putting them on paper and now that I am going to type some of them I feel inspired to do so. Everybody hears “start your life, do it today, don’t put it off any longer” but for many people I think they are just words. To actually write them out and SEE them may help to focus on what you really want in life and so with that being said: I’d would like to travel to Ireland! I have alot of Irish in me and it was my grandfather’s dream to visit Italy and Ireland (who we are – I know I know – volital mix right? hehe) He was diagnosed with cancer and got to italy and to the vatican and upon his return became very Ill and was never able to get to Ireland and so I very much want to go to Ireland.
Thank you Becca for this “assignment” it truely has inspired me already.
My hubby and I have a “Bucket List” and have been crossing off things, and adding things since Feb 2005 when we did the first crossing off. It was to visit a Caribbean Island…..which we did. St. Maarten was our first adventure for our 30th Wedding Anniversary! We recently took off our list “support our local Children’s Hospital with a monthly donation”. Last year we were lucky enough to be financially in the position to do that. Now to add our local “Variety Club Children’s Charity” to that monthly donation……………..
I would like to cruise in the Mediterrian
Congrats on your anniversary! You’ve given me so much inspiration, there’s no way I’d ever be able to thank you enough. Thanks for the opportunity to win blog candy. On my list is conquering my fear of the ocean….and the sharks within it!
Teri
Thank-you for all the ideas and inspiration. MY list is long as are most. Right now I just hope to see my mother recover from her illness. Yvonne
I love your website! Happy blog anniversary!! I said to my husband last night, I would love to make a card as elegant as Becca’s. Why are some so talented and others not? Maybe we don’t put the effort into it that others do. So on my bucket list is to make not a card that I am satisfied with, but a card that I can be truly wowed by!!
CONGRATULTATIONS on what has been a wonderful 2 years of inspiration! Hoping you continue to inspire us all for many more years to come!
An item on my bucket list ….there are many but one dear to my heart is to help those in need and give back what I can. Life is filled with so many blessings the least I can do is to do help someone else who is in need…of a shoulder to cry on, help a senior with daily chores, give encouragement to a child who is needs that extra moment or two to learn or do something to enrich their life. To look with fresh eyes and do what can be done to help nearly anyone!
First and formost, congratulations on your 2 year anniversary..and looking forward to seeing your tutorial. I have learned so much from you. Now for the first item on my “Bucket List” I would like somehow to find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis since my husband is so stricken with it.
What a wonderful assignment for us! You are so creative and I am very thankful to have your blog to go to each day for inspiration and down right awe …. :)
My sister is battling cancer for the second time and she and her daughter used to go to the beach once a year. Her daughter passed 4 years ago … I am determined some way some how for us to go to the beach before it gets too hot this summer.
Hugs,
Kimberly
Congratulations Becca!! You are such a wonderful inspiration both
with your precious creations but also with your beautiful spirit of
sharing all that you have learned with others. I would love to work
with a young girl who has chosen to keep her child although single.
This is an easy one for me. My husband and i used to travel a lot. Really a lot. Just to wander or escape the horrible heat of the summer in AZ. Since my husband passed away, i have set the goal of getting brave enough to travel alone.
You are such an inspiration. I love your site and your love of God.
First of all congratulations on your 2nd blog anniversary. The first thing I would like to do on my bucket list is to be there for my aging mother. Thanks for the chance and hope you have a wonderful week. Hugs, Nellie.
Congratulations Becca!!
Number 1 on my Bucket List is seeing my little girl (2) grow-up with Love, Happy, Healthy and with Faith!!! That’s why in my prayers i ask the Lord to give me and my husband Health and Wisdom to teach her the best we can.
Congrats on 2 years! I sure have enjoyed them – cause I love your work. I would like to learn how to do more on the computer. I’m challenged. Thanks for the chance for the blog candy.
Wow 2 years, time does go by so fast, seems like I just met you. My bucket list includes going back to the city where I was born. I haven’t been there for 40 years, too many sad memories.
periodically I will hand a cashier at a drive up restr or somewhere else 5 bucks and says I am giving this to you but if you accept it then you have to do something nice to someone else with 30 days. I feel “love grows”
Bucket list – I would like to visit my friend in Phoenix, Az and move back to FLA.
CONGRATULATIONS!, I follow you daily and still get inspiration from you!
Congratulations on your two year anniversary. I discovered you shortly after you started your blog and keep coming back for your incredible talents, designs and use of medium. You create amazing projects! Keep it up!
Bucket List wish: To have an extended family vacation on a cruise ship.
My father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s this past year.
The first first thing on my Bucket List is to spend as much time with him as I can.
The second thing on my list is to start scrapbooking his life. As time passes, he is going to start forgetting things and people, and I want to have a visual way for him to see the past that he may not be remembering anymore.
Congratulations Becca, and your candy is awesome. Did you ever imagine this blog and where it would lead 5 years ago (were blogs invented then I wonder)?
On my bucket list was to own a canal boat and sell craft items from that boat. This was a dream a long time ago and I don’t swim that well either!
Cazzy x
Give cards I have made to different charities. I hope this counts, because I have been doing this for three years and it just makes me feel wonderful! Since I am already doing this, I will put another thing that I have not done yet. To write a children’s book.
Thanks for all of your inspiration. I have been subscribed to your blog for a while and you are on top of the list when it comes to my favorites!!
Becca,
Congratulations. You do exceptional work. I am always excited about your papercrafts. One thing on my bucket list is to be able to read in Church. I fear public speaking.
Mary
Go to Paris – with my 4 sisters – we planned to go one year and lfe got in the way.
Love you blog Becca and like other my bucket list has been in my head for a long time. Seems I know what I need to be doing it’s just doing it. I have no problem helping others with their lists but getting my own done well that’s another issue. 1st on my list and I’m trying to do it is getting exercise everyday. It will help with the 2nd on my list of getting rid of this extra 40lbs I don’t need. I’ll be back with number 3 tomorrow.
Love this idea! thank you for all your wonderful blogs!
– volunteer for an orphanage in a foreign country
Congrats on your Anniversary Becca!
On my Busket List : I would love to have an amazing and long anticipated vacation with my immediate family, I would love to go to Alaska to see the Northern Lights, or the Aurora borealis. Another item would be to pay off all my debt, so that I don’t leave any of it behind me for my family to be responsible for.
Becca,
I feel inspired now…..I am going to do a bucket list journal jar!!!! Each week I will pull out one thing and do it!!
My first Bucket List item would be to take time to visit my dear friend at Genesis Behavioural Facility. I have not seen him in a year plus. He is dying, at the age of 61.
Thanks for always giving of yourself, your website is the one I visit everyday!!
Becca this is awesome congratulations!!! I agree you are an inspiration to so many of us!!
I guess I actually started on my own bucket list just this past thursday. My two friends helped me start my own blog!! I have been scared to do that soooooo now I have it started and hope to be an inspiration to others as you have been to me !!
God bless you

Congratulations, Becca, on two years of blogging…believe me, the pleasure is all ours! You are an amazing and inspiring woman, and I can’t wait to see what you’ll create in future…it’s bound to be awesome.
Unfortunately, I have two “firsts” on my bucket list. My sister has had breast cancer twice and is now receiving chemotherapy for a spot on her lung. First on my bucket list is to be as much help to her in her day-to-day activities as possible (she has a 15-year-old son and a resale shop). My mother has congestive heart failure and is slipping away from us. My other first bucket list item is to spend as much time with her (and my father) as possible and to make her last bit of life as comfortable as possible.
Becca,
First of all congratulations on your 2 years of blogging. You are just the most i nspirational person. You have shared so much of yourself and have been so generous with giving your artistic talent for us to enjoy.
God Bless!
I would like to visit Scotland. That is where my family is from and I was there about 5 years ago but I yearn to return.
Thanks for offering such great blog candy…..best to you always. Jean
Congrats on all the wonderful projects and sharing your great talent and creativity with us. I stop by everyday and ooh and ahh everytime. THANK YOU!!!
I have enjoyed each and every post….looking forward to the next few years!
first I want to say your blog is one of my very favorites!!! I am looking forward to your tutorial on the woven lattice.
The first thing on my bucket list would be to give strangers money.
It’s so funny that you are doing this. I’ve been planning since the first of the year to make the ‘perfect’ little notebook. I want to use it to record all the things I want to do or make or buy or research in the coming days, months and year. I haven’t made it because I want it to hold up to the torture of my purse but still look pretty. I don’t want it to be too big or too small. I told ya it needed to be perfect.
I guess the first thing on my list should be to STOP being a perfectionist. It really holds me back from trying a lot of things. Okay.. it’ll be the first thing. I’ll make that little notebook today. Maybe I’ll put it on my blog.
I want to exercise and lose some weight this year.
I want to spend less money but still feed my stamping habit.
I want to learn how to digital-scrapbook.
Another dream would be for me to be a fraction as talented as you. How do you do it? I’m so amazed at all the talent I see here.
Okay…I’ve got to get busy on my little notebook of dreams and ideas. I’ll stamp my pages and use my Zutter Bind-it-All.
take care and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Becca: I had started A bucket List long before the movie had come out and on my list was to to see every province in Canada, get married have children, and have have grand children, I have seen every province but Newfoundland my son is turning 24 on the 13th of February and my granddaughter will be 5 in October I have been married to my best friend for the last 10 years this August. I have added a few more things that are extremely important to me, get closer to god, help others on a daily bases, do not pass judgment on others, always say I love you to my family and friends, give to a charity each year, stuff like that, I believe that everyday is a gift from god and that we should all be thankful and always help out our each other.
I do enjoy your blog, and congrats on the 2nd anniversary! I’ve never thought of a bucket list, so now you have started me thinking on it, the first thing on my bucket list is for my unemployed husband to find a new job!
Oh my……….what awesome blog candy, Becca! And a big congrats on your blogoversary!
Now for my Bucket List……..I would like to pay for the meal of the car behind me in the fast food drive through line.
Thanks for offering such yummy candy.
Blessings ~

Congratulations on your blogaversary! You truly have blessed so many with your shining talent. Keep up the good work! I would like to have the means to be able to provide educations for young people in Africa who would otherwise not be able to attend school!
I really want to start a card ministry at our church!!!
Congratulations Becca on your 2 year blogaversary. Your blog is an inspiration to stampers everywhere.
Number 1 on my bucket list would be to have my own blog. I really have no reason for not having one yet except for all the other fantastic blogs that are out there. I would never fit in with all of those super blogs. So I enjoy those blogs and have learned so much from them.
stamp on…
Congrats Becca!! I’d like to share my experiences with other women and be a mentor.
WOW! Congrats on two years of blogging! Thank you for sharing with us your talent and inspirational messages. I love your blog and look forward to it every day! On my bucket list….be able to walk again and get out of my wheelchair…am hoping to be able to do this by end of summer or at least before end of October!
Congratulations, Becca, on your fruitful two years of blogging! WTG! During that time, you have provided so many wonderful examples of what we COULD do with our hidden (and not-so-hidden) talents! You have certainly motivated me!
Hmm, Bucket List – before it was called that, DH and I did many things that have already been listed above. At our age, we have a lot of mileage behind us! We tend to help another when we see a need. One thing I have left to do for myself is to take a cruise to Alaska. I’ve always wanted to see that state. A cruise just sounds calming.
Thank you for the opportunity to win the amazing blog candy posted. I wish you many more years of blogging success!
XO,
Chris
my bucket list:
* live in the mountains
* having enough money to help my children in their lives
* continue my passion and sharing it much longer
Otherwise, I receive your newsletter and find out your daily job is one of my sources of inspiration.
And this lot … very beautiful!
thanks
Travel across the nation and see the Pacific Ocean
To travel the world!
Becca,
I have learned so much from you and your blog. I love your cards and all the tricks you have given us, but most I love your spirit and devotion to our God. You are an inspiration to many. Congratulations on your Blogaversary.
I started a Bucket list a few years back. Many things there, but #1 is to go to Ireland to see the places mygreatgrandparents lived.
Oh, Becca, Congratulations on your 2 years of blogging! Your creations are so very beautiful and inspiring! Thank you!
and your candy is awesome! I love Spellbinders – especially seeing what you do with them.
OK, for what is on my list, travel seems to be a big choice on those listed above me and i too have a destination. My husband is Russian and has never been there, so traveling to Russia is on my list
Looking forward to reading more of other lists! Great idea, Becca!
May God bless you and continue your inspiration.
visit New England in the fall to see the beautiful colors. Thanks so much for your inspiring newsletter!
I want to visit all 50 states. So with that in mind I want to do an extended curise and land travel over Alaska.
This is a fun comment section. I am going to look over what others say as well.
Thanks Becca for sharing your wonderful talents with us. I am a happy subscriber to your blog.
Hi, congrats on the 2 year anniversary. I love looking at your blog, such awesome cards. I would love to be able to visit one of the Cards and scrapbooking expos in another state sometime
Thank you for such a great site and congrats on completing 2 yrs as a blogger. Way to go Becca!
I would like to return to China with our daughter so she can see her birthplace and the beauty that is China.
I love all your beautiful work. It is a joy to wait and see your latest and greatest work.
First on my bucket list is to have the courage to profess Christ to everyone I come into contact with.
way 2 go for two years of bloging. i love your style. thanks fo doing it for us. on to my list item: i want to go on safari in Africa. where the animals are in their natural habitat and we are in cages to see them. i think it would be so exhilerating to feel the ground shake as a herd of something runs by. unaffected by man. looking forward to sharing again tomorrow.
c
To help my grand daughter through college
I would like to meet the children my husband and I sponsor through World Vision. Becca, congratulations on 2 years! It has been 2 years of pure joy for us! Blessings
Congratulations! And I love your blog, and look forward to it everyday! And I am going to teach myself more than the one stitch of crocheting that I do! LOL, and I am already on my way. At CHA Crochet Dude taught me to single crochet on a little ring! So now I will promise myself to teach me a few more stitches so I can teach my girlfriends how to make flowers to brighten their days! and I will use them to add more bling to the 100 scarves I make and give away each year!
Congratulations, Becca, and thank you for your inspiration and positive attitude!
I would like help decorate a float for Tournament of Roses parade. I am just awed by their beauty and creativity.
Bucket List.
I would like to take my vision impaired friend to Leland, MI. for a short vacation.
Thanks for your beautiful Blog spot & sharing your creations with us.
ml.
My list includes getting stronger via swimming and yoga.
Thank you for your 500 posts. I love your cards, and I hope you continue sharing with us for many years to come.
I would like to take my husband to Italy. He has worked so hard all his life and in 2 years he will be retiring. I hope at that time we can travel to what looks like one of the most beautiful places in the world.
Helping others is #1 on my bucket list.
In Canada we have a coffee shop called Tim Horton’s and it’s a given that 50% of the people who drive thru pay for the order behind them…it is a small gesture but paying it forward feels so good!
I have started to do the same thing here with Starbuck’s as I’m sure others do to and for now it’s all my budget will allow but, every little bit helps.
I would also like to have my own blog and etsy shop up and running in 2010…wish me luck:)!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful work and inspiration.
On my bucket list would have to be to see Scotland one more time. Once wasn’t enough and that was a long time ago.
write a novel before I die.
Congratulations on your two years of blogging! I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing your amazing creations (and wishing I had just ONE of your creative genes!!). Your blog candy is amazing too. Love the name “Bucket List”. One of mine is to take my whole family to Costa Rica – land of my birth – for a vacation.
You do the most beautiful work.
Becca, Congrats on 2 great years of paprecrafting! I’ve been along for most of the ride and have enjoyed every minute of it! Here’s to many more! On my list of things to do, I’d like to go to Australia.
Congratulations on your 2nd blogaversary! On my list is a trip to Europe.
Becca, you are such an inspiration! Thanks for the opportunity to win the blog candy!
I want to have a good name that will follow me long after I am gone!
Congratulations, Becca, for all of your caring and sharing. … One item on my bucket list is to creat a huge stash of cards so I don’t have to dream one up every time I need one.
I’m new to your blog this year and am totally knocked out! one of my bucket list wishes would be……….to run a marathon one day!
pay off college loans in less than 15 years — Thanks for all of your beautiful creations. They inspire me every day.
Congratulations!!! Well today is my birthday so maybe it will bring me some good luck!! I could sure use some right now….luck that is.
Congrats Becca on your anniversary! I would love to take a cruise on the new ship the Oasis of the Sea and wouldn’t it be fun if they had a stamping cruise!! LOL
Bucket List entry: to explore and enjoy all the countries in Europe with my husband. Sure would be nice!
Becca,
Congratulations on two years of blogging! It really doesn’t seam that long. Also thank you for the chance to win.
On my “bucket list” is to rock babies in the neonatal nursey.
Thank You for the continued inspiration as well as sharing your tips, tricks, and tutorials.
Have a wonderful week,
~~Diane~~
hi Becca! My bucket list would be that my husband and I could have a whole week’s vacation somewhere. He’s self-employed and works 6 days a week with no vacations.
Congratulations on your 2year blogging, i just love visiting your site,,,i ticked off a biggie this December ,,, i did a bit of snorkling, it was great.
A Bucket List. I’ve seen the movie – but haven’t really given much thought to the things I want to do before I die – but after a little reflection I remembered that from the time I was 14 I wanted to travel to Australia and hold a Koala bear. I am now 50 years old – and would still love to have that opportunity.
Hi,
I just think your work is some of the best I have ever seen!! I love your site. My pray is that ALL my family would be serving the Lord!
God Bless You!!
Thank you for sharing, both your life and beautiful art work. First off my list – see my grandaughter dance at her ballet recital in Texas.
I truly love your blog and appreciate the love and energy that goes into everything you post!
I don’t have a bucket list as such yet but do think about these things.
I’d love to travel all through the New England States and take my family along and enjoy everything this area has to offer!
thanks for the chance !
Becca,
Congratulations on 2 yrs of blogging!! You’re certainly a wonderful inspiration!! I love admire your work.
A Bucket list… I hadn’t heard of that before… did you say we’re limited to one? I’d like to volunteer at a hospital to rock babies. I love babies and anticipate great joy from grand children in the coming years.
Thanks for the opportunity to reflect on meaningful activities!
I want to go to Williamsburg, Virginia, at Christmas time.
I will be 90 years old next month, and one thing I would like to do is visit the remaining states in the US that I have not seen. At present, there are only
4 states that I haven’t at least driven through.
Thanks for your great blog. I look at it every day.
Becca, you and what you share on your blog are such an inspiration to me so it is appropriate that I mention here that one of the things on my bucket list is to create my own blog where someday I can inspire others as you do. Thank you!!!
This is a wonderful idea! Thank you for not only the blog candy opportunity, but for the Bucket List idea. It is something I need to start and keep at, better than a New Year’s resolution or two.
The first thing on my bucket list is spend at least 1 day a month with my children just doing what they want to do; where my full attention is on them and nothing else. We don’t do that often enough now.
My son was in Haiti five years ago and I told him the next time he went, I wanted to go with him. Thanks for offering such an awesome package, Becca, and congratulations on your aniversary!
Hello Becca, I would love to make more baby hats for newborns for the hospitals here or for babies in other countries who need them. I had a friend who made over a 1000 of these hats before she passed away. I have only made 200+ and would like to make more.
Congratulations to you and to us because we’ve been lucky to see all your creations.
Patricia
One item on my list is to read the entire bible, which I have started to do this year, but, so far, I’m about a month behind.
Happy anniversary.
Thank you for each and every post you’ve made – such an inspiration!! There are so many things on my “want to do list” – here’s one: give a struggling single mother a car
Thanks for an opportunity to win this great blog candy – you’re the best
Congratulations! You have accomplished so much in such a short time. You must be so pleased.
I’m very thankful for your blog. I look forward to visiting it each day.
The first thing I would list is I’ve wanted to go to Australia ever since I was a little girl. Now, I even have friends there and I can’t wait until I can see them.
It’s good to remember your dreams. Thanks for the idea.
Hugs,
Snoopy :D
Congrats on your milestone!!! One thing on my bucket list is to take my family white water rafting. Both of my children are young adults now, and this is something I have dreamed of doing since they were babies. Hopefully it will happen someday!!!
Congratulations, Becca, on your amazing achievements – you have an amazing blog and your work is truly inspirational :)
One thing on my list is to enjoy spending time with my family as my boys are growing up fast and will not want to spend time with their Mum for much longer!
Louise x
What fun!
We live in a very conjested area of California My hubby has done this. He needs to cross a bridge to get home. Often, especially on a Monday, will pay for the bridgetoll for the person behind him. I’m sure this puts a smile on the driver behind him!
Sharon L
I’d like to to spend a year visiting and learning in depth about ancient sites in Turkey, Greece, Italy, and Spain.
I would like to see the Great Wall of China! Thanks Becca for being your inspiring self!
First congrats to you for having this amazing blog and for sharing your faith with so many. I have heard of a “Bucket List” before but never ever had the chance to write it down. There are many things that are on my list, but something that I have wanted to do since a child and the other since my young teenage years was to play the piano and to write a Christian Novel. I love reading Karen Kingsbury books and other Christian Novels and I have always liked to write. About 2 years ago I started writting a novel, but had to stop due to health issues. So my biggest dream is to finish that book and get it published. Tell you daughter I said thanks for giving you this idea. It really is a thought provoking question and a great one at that. God Bless.
I would like to take my kids to Disney world. I never went as a child, but I think it is something we would all enjoy.
Since having cancer 14 yrs ago, I have done a lot on my bucket list already. One I thing I want to do better is help to lead others to Christ.
Congratulations, on your two yr anniversary. I have enjoyed your blog very much.
I want to go scuba diving, kind of selfish but to see part of God’s creation with my own eyes.
My first bucket list item will be to spend less time reading blogs/posts & more time out of this chair and on my feet standing at my new counter-height crafting table (with a goal for weight control/loss in mind), so here I go now!
Thank you so much, Becca, for such a beautiful, inspirational place to look forward to coming each day as I enjoy my first cup of coffee. May a tad of your unbelievable talent in creating with Spellbinders rub off on me one day!!!
I would like to have dinner at the White House.
thanks for 2 wonderful years of projects. i will never do 99% of them, but they inspire me to be more creative. That I thankyou for from the bottom of my heart. Congrats on being so creative and a kind generous person
one item on my bucket list is to finish the landscaping around our home. Became a Master Gardener so I would know what to plant and now waiting for warmer weather, healthier body and money to buy all the plants.
I love your blog!
I would like to visit Paris France!
Congratulations on your anniversary!! This is the most inspiring site I check. I agree with Marge R, I would love to have some of your talent rub off on me.
Congratulations and thank you for all the things you have taught us. I have learned so much from your blog. I would love to go to Israel.
It’s been a fantastic experience perusing your blog, reading about some of your life experiences, and exploring the wonderful world of inspiration you provide for all of us. Congrats on Amazing Grace anniversary with many more to come. The top of my bucket list is to have all of my family together, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren along with my cousins and their families for a “first” family reunion. Thank you so much for offering the yummy candy, not only does it look delish, it makes all of us take a look at our dreams and desires and share them with someone.
“Hugs” Granny
Congratulations on your 2nd Anniversary. I love to visit your blog each day and see your new creations. Thank you so much for all you do.
One of the items on my ‘bucket list’ is to see more of the world. I’d like to start a savings account dedicated to solely to taking my family on a trip around the world. Or maybe several trips to various spots around the world.
I would like to visit Disneyland. I have wanted to since I was a little girl. I would have loved to take my children but they are all grown up now. My daughter also longs to go there…I hope to before I leave this earth! Tyhat’s 1 thing on my bucket list! Thanks for all you do for us!!
Congratulations on your second bloggiversary and Thank you for sharing all of your fantastic projects with us.
The first thing on my list is to take some evening classes as I’d love to become more computer savvy but I haven’t been able to pluck up the courage to go.
Congrats to you for your two years and to us for being on the receiving end of them! Thank YOU!!!! Love the bucket list idea- I had not previously thought of having one but now I am inspired to work on it! For my first item I want to leave flowers and do a little upkeep an uncared for grave site (no, I am not morbid – just feel sadden when I see these long forgotten sites!)
Congrtulations on 2 years of blogging. I’d like to volunteer as an assistant to the Activities Director at a nursing home.
Bucket list, huh… I’ve always wanted a Corvette, the feeling of hankering down into that baby and off I go…well, that was back in the 50’s…now, tee hee, would I be able to get in and out of the blasted thing; to feel the breeze in my hair on an open highway…these days…open highway..speed…I must be kidding. So with that under my belt, this senior gal must start playing those $l.00 lottery tickets because my dream is of helping others…Smile Train, Make a Wish, Fresh Air Fund… a giving heart gathers and this I do and its the best. Have fun ladies, create until you feel your hearts smiling…
I now do volunteer driving for our cty 3 to 4 days a week. I have been so fortunate to do this. Have met many wonderful people.
Would love to be able to return out west and visit some of the natl. parks again in Utah.
Also we have 2 large veggie gardens that we donate veggies and fruit to elderly people in our community and at the senior center. Most of them have had a garden in their younger yrs.
Congrat. on your 2 yrs. I love to visit your web site. So many new ideas that I wonder how you come up with them?
Maxine
Start my own blog!
What a great idea. Hug your loved ones every day and tell them how much you love them.
Hi Becca,
Congratulations, you will be blogging forever your work is so beautiful, thank you for inspiring me constantly.
I would love to go back to Paris, everyone should visit Paris at least once (even more) before they die.
Rene from OZ xo
This is an after I die thing, but I want to donate my mastoid bone in hopes that it will help even one person with their deafness. I just read about the donation the other day, and if my deafness can help someone else, I’m all for it!
Ooooh, wonderful! Congratulations on your blog-iversary. Your work is absolutely exquisite, Becca. Am so glad I stumbled upon your blog.
One of the items on my bucket list is to go to New Zealand to visit my penfriend of almost 40 years. We have been penfriends since middle school, and have kept up with each other through teenage – young adult – parenthood – and now middle age years, and my life on numerous countries and continents. My penfriend is going to be a (young) grandma soon! And we still write to one another.
Thanks for the opportunity to win your generous prizes.
Congratulations on your 2 year blogging anniversary! I, for one, have had a wonderful time following your beautiful projects. If I could only be half as talented! :) I’d like to lose the weight that I’ve put on in the last year and get back my energy and I’d like to get caught up on my paper projects. I think the weight loss is an easier goal!
Again, thank you for the inspiration that you’ve shared over the last 2 years.
Sylvia
Congratulations on your Blogaversary!!
One of the things I hope to do is visit Alaska!!
Congratulations Becca! Let me tell you it has been OUR pleasure to be your followers. You are an inspiration to us and I for one, adore the work you do. Thank you so very much.
Ok – my bucket list #1 – I would love to someday get to visit Egypt and visit the land of the Pharaohs.
Enjoy your weekend!
Elaine Allen
Ride a Harley around Ayres Rock in Australia
Wow, Becca. I think that I have been along for the ride for most of that time – congrats and keep it coming and I’ll keep coming back.
To finish even one tenth of the card making/scrapbooking that I would like to do. I have tons of copies of ideas (many of them copies of stuff you’ve done Becca), supplies bought for projects and plans of what I would do some day. Just not enough hours in a day.
Someday!!!
Congratulations on your 2 years of wonderful blogging. I am going to tell my family every day how much I love them as I don’t say it often enough.
2 years go by in a flash – you are my inspiration in the card and
art dept. – my mom who going to be 104 in March is my inspiration
in the strength and endurance dept – she is in home hospice and
live with me – i’m very lucky to be so blessed
Becca first let me say thank you on, not only sharing your wonderful art work, but in sharing your belief in the Lord. Your Blog is an inspiration in many ways.
I would love to make sets of cards to take to shut ins and homes where people can’t get out but would still like to send cards themselves to others. I now we always think about sending cards to them but I think there are some that would like to still be able to send cards out.
I would love to learn a new papercraft technique each month to create lovely cards for family and friends. You are my inspiration!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful creations – they have inspired me!
I would like to rent a beach house for a month and relax with my husband and kids!
Congratulations on your 2 year blog anniversary! I am thankful that you share your creativity with us in this way.
Thanks for all the pleasure you have given so many people Becca
I would like to be able to pay for two of my dearest friends to have a holiday in England and although they lost a daughter in a car accident when she was 18 have so much love in them for God and spend most of their time helping others
Hilda

CYNTHIA FROM YUMA
Congrats on 2 years of blogging & sharing your amazing talents with us. Although I haven’t started my own “bucket list” my #1 for here today is… encourage or help to develop a scrapbook “grief” group at a local church in the community that already offers 13 weeks of classes in helping deal with grief. Thank you again for being so generous with your time & talent to share here.
Congratulations on your two years of blogging.
My husband and I have started on our bucket list and I must say it is quite long. After a real scare this past December with my heart we have decided we will not put things off any longer and hope to accomplish several things this year. One of the things we are going to do this summer is ride the motorcycle to the VietNam Wall. Have been there several times (but not on the bike) but this year we will be riding with about 25 guys that were in VietNam together. Should be a lot of fun.
Your work inspires me to create great cards … thank you for sharing.
2 years, 500 posts and 1,000 pictures … how do you have time to do it all!!! You are an inspiration to us all!
I never thought of a “bucket list” before … but I an start one today to on my list would be to live life to the fullest and take each day as it comes and make the most of it!
Thank you for the opportunity to win such great blog candy too!
Congratulations, Becca! I am always inspired by your lovely blog and thoughts and craft treasures!
One of the things I would really like to do is visit Israel with Precepts Ministries. It has been a hope of mine for years now.
I like the idea of paying for the peoples order that is behind you in the fast food drive thru. You remain annon. and you get the feel good feeling. This morning on a news show, it featured a family that sold their house and donated half of the sale ($800,000.00) to poor countries to help feed the people. Wish I had the money to do that!
Becca – congratulations on two years of blogging! Your talent is amazing. Thank you for sharing with us! One item on my bucket list is to create my own line of stamps.
Happy Anniversary!I love your Blog and all the inspiration you share!The first thing on my bucket list is to have many family gatherings to create memories for our Children and Grandchildren . This year is to be “The Best Year Ever” My Husband is terminally ill so while he is still able to enjoy life I will dedicate myself to make certain that we have wonderful memories and lots of pictures to carry us through the hard times that will come.I thank God for his ever abiding love!
Last year we took 2 weeks and drove cross-country, or at least from Ohio to Southern California, to visit with relatives. I’ve always wanted to do that. That’s as far as a bucket list. My thing right now to show my son how to “pay it forward”. It’s the little things that sometimes stops you and make you say that quick little prayer.
PS…Congrats on your anniversary…love you blog!
Congratulations, Becca on two years of sharing all your time and creativity with all of us. I truly look forward to each new post from you. I loved The Bucket List, and while I’m probably like many others who had things they wanted to do, this movie gave me a push to start actually writing things down. Many will have to wait til retirement (which is not what the list is supposed to be about), but I”m hoping some get done before and somecan wait until then. For now, we’ll put down the entry I’ve got of visit Alaska! It always looks so beautiful, and full of adventure. Living in California, it’s not THAT far, and I’ve managed to travel to further places in the world, so I’d like to scratch that one off my list. Back tomorrow with another entry. Thanks again for sharing all your wonderful ideas and talent with us.
Congratulations Becca on two years of inspirational blogging! I love your creativity and thank you for all the time you spend posting your wonderful cards for us to see.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful creations with us these last two years, you are an inspiration to all!
One of my favorites on my bucket list is to swim with the dolphins…
I want to go to Costa Rica and catch butterflies.
I am so thankful that I came across your blog…your work is beautiful and very inspiring. I have a LOT of items on my Bucket List which one item is to go on a mission project overseas. We have a new pastor who goes every year so I hope to be able to go one day.
First thing on my bucket list is to get moving and lose a few pounds…. Then on to #2!
Thank you Beca for a chance to win some blog candy. I truly enjoy your blog and appreciate all you share. I want to learn how to paint a landscape. Something larger than a card and use the big brushes like Bob Ross. I’ve already bought the grocery for a stranger that ended up not having his wallet and bought lunch for someone that looks like they’ve been dealt from a bad deck of cards. One thing I get a kick out of is when I’m at a fast food restaurant and I see a police car or EMS car one or two back from me, I tell the cashier I want to pay for their lunch. She gives me the total and when they get to the window, they don’t need to pay. They don’t know who I am because I’m already on my way. That’s exciting for me. It’s happened about 3 times this past year. Maybe that would give someone an idea. Thanks again.
Congrats on your 2 year blogaversary!!!
Something I would love to cross off my bucket list would be to have enough money to bring my husband see Andrea Bocelli in Italy one day. He is his favorite singer and for all the times he makes me happy,that would be a small payback for him!!!!
Thanks for a chance at your candy and to inspire me to add more things on my bucket list!!!
I would love to travel to Africa – I love taking pivctures of animals (I’m better at animal pictures than those of people :).
I’ve always wanted to paint memory boxes for parents that lose their baby. I lost a granddaughter 8 years ago 11 days after her birth. I recently found out my local tolepainting society provides boxes to be painted and donated to our local neonatal hospital.
Becca,
Thanks for inspiring me with every post you make to your blog. Your creations are awesome! I look forward to each one.
I haven’t really thought of a bucket list, but I would love to work at something that I really love, that also gives others pleasure. I was watching the Ace of Cakes on the Food channel and was so impressed by the joy they felt with the completion of each special cake they made.
congrats you your blog! I read it every day. I have lots of items on my bucket list. I would love to see the northern lights. They have fasinated me for years and I would love to see them in person.
The last two years may have gone by too fast for you, but sometimes it can’t seem fast enough for me to see what new creation you have come up with. Congrats! I would like to be at Times Square at midnight on New Year’s Eve.
becca thanks for the blog candy and all your wonderful cards and projects. I love your blog and you. a bucket list thats kinda hard for me since i cant travel too good. so mine are kinda simple but hard for me. I would love to see a white christmas in person.
Hi there – I am an Australian and I am not at all sure that I am allowed enter but here goes – and you can ignore me if you wish. I promise not to be offended. Number 1 on my Bucket list would be to take my husband on a return visit to England – he just loves this country so much and so do I.
I just LOVE your Blog.
I want to learn to add drop down things on my Blog!!
Donna
Thanks so much for your daily inspiration and congrats on your 2nd blog anniversary! I would love to have a reunion of all of my family members!
Congratulations!!!! You are truly an inspiration to many. That is your Gift. #1 on my list is to walk again. I have had MS 37+ years and was recently diagnosed with arthritis. We all get it sooner or later but it’s a poor mix. I’ve walked until a couple of years ago so I’m lucky and God willing, I will again. I am always upbeat. And I’m a fighter. Your blog and all your creations are very important to me
and give me the inspiration I need.
Peace. Becky Johnson
I would like to provide aid to a struggling college student so that he/she can get an education.
Thanks so much. I learn so much from following your blog.
You are wonderful.
CONGRATULATIONS Becca on your 2 year Anniversary of Blogging.. well done :))
I already have a bucket list, so here is one of the things listed, for as long as I can remember I have wanted to go on a cruise.. hopefully I will achieve that some time this year.. Keep up the good work Becca.. you certainly are an inspiration to me… and I am sure to everyone who reads your blog..
hugs Hanny
Congratulations Becca! You have been a true inspiration to me. So the first thing in my Bucket List is to be as good a stamper as you are!!
Thank you for your inspiration
Wow. I have never thought about this. I have heard of the movie, though, so I don’t live under a huge rock! LOL! Ummmmm…I’d like to visit all 50 states in the US.
THanks for the chance to win, Becca.
Rhonda
Congratulations!
I would like to go on an Alaskan cruise.
Thanks a bunch!
Congratulations, Becca!! As I’ve said before, you are awesome and thank you so much for all your gorgeous ideas and cards. Love them, love them, love them! I’ve been trying to think of some things for my “bucket list” and I guess my #1 wish is to be a better friend and not so quick to judge. Thanks again and #2 will come tomorrow.
Congratulations on your 2nd anniversary… and for being such a inspiration to all of us.
the big item on my bucket list will be to go and see the redwood forest in CA and then tour the West coast, i have been up and down the east coast.
thanks for the opportunity.
Congratulations Becca. You are the best!!! I would like to meet the leaders of various nations, who have provided aid to Haiti and ask them why they does not bring aid before the country was destroyed and did not get help sooner. Of course President Barack Obama is the first one!!! Thank you.
Congratulations Becca!! Your are absolutely awesome and are the first one I look for each and every day. Your cards and ideas are such an inspiration to me and gets my juices going. I’ve been thinking about my “bucket list” and I guess number 1 on my list would be to be a better friend and not so quick to judge. Would truly like to be more supportive. Thanks again and until tomorrow – – –
Congrats Becca!! What a great milestone. My bucket list would include going on a missionary trip and handling out Bibles. When my husband and I were youth ministers, we ministered to teens by giving them bibles. It was such a blessing.
Becca!
Thanks for a chance to win!
My first thought would be a nice vacation for my family and I, we have never been able to afford one and before they all grow up and are out of the nest i would like to take a nice vacation……
For years I’ve wanted to learn Tai Chi………….I’ve just signed up for classes!
Congrats! I would love to hike the Appalachian Trail. All 2175 miles.
I would like to read through the Bible. I know that will probably take years to accomplish.
I want to take a scrapbook cruise one day .Just some me time where its warm .Im sick of snow this year
Love your web site
Congratulations on 2 years. You do such beautiful work.
I would like to make hats for all the patients at the dialysis center where my husband is a patient.
Congratulations Becca! I love your blog!!!!! I’ve already learned so much from you. On my bucket list is for my husband and I to visit the Grand Canyon and to spread my mother in law’s ashes there. She always wanted to go there, but died with breast cancer before that was possible. Thanks for the chance to win!
Blessings,
Pat
You sure are getting a great responce.
One of the things on my Bucket list is to go rowing on the pond at Versilles Palace with my husband.
What in inspirational Blog Candy! It really has made me look at what I can do, or want to do!
After enjoying your blog so much the last few months (ever since I found it), I have tried to “better” my card-making skills and find my own niche. Now, I have a better idea…just make people happy with my cards. So, number 1 on my Bucket List is to make someone happy or give them something to smile about with every card I make and send!
Congrats Becca on your 2nd anniversary for your blog, and we’re all really looking forward to many more years of inspiration from you!
Doni
I would dearly love to activate a business I am in by bringing in two business partners, because there is so much potential in this business, and the more people who join, the more people who are going to be free from the rat race and living from paycheck to paycheck. And the more people who will be exposed to our biggest product, which is doing miraculous things for the people who take it. This is not a commercial; I am just being honest with you. This is at the top of my list for now.
I have written off a couple things off my bucket list – learned to scrapbook and make all my own cards.
– biggest thing on my bucket list is to visit Italy where my uncle is buried. He died at age 23 right near the end of WWII and is buried in Italy. No one from our family has visited there. In fact, I just found out a couple of years ago where he was laid to rest. So, my wish is to go there to pay respects to a family member who died before I was born. Big problem with this happening is that I’ve had brain surgery and the doctors forbid me to fly, ever again. Someday, somehow, maybe?
Thank you Becca for your wonderful and very inspirational blog. I have enjoyed it so much and learned so much from you. Congratulations on your 2nd anniversary!
The first thing on my bucket list is to get more physically fit so that I can do the next several things on the list. We took a mission trip to Peru last summer and it was really hard to be at that altitude. I would love to be able to go on more of these trips.
Becca, Congratulations on your anniversary. I so enjoy visiting your blog & being inspired on a daily basis. Thank you so much for that! One of my bucket list items is to visit Greece.
Thank you Becca, for sharing your amazing talents and beautiful spirit with all of us. You are a blessing in so many lives!
#1 on my Bucket List ~ learn Tai Chi.
Thank you for the opportunity to win your fabulous Blog Candy.
Barbara in SC
I would love to take a trip to the North East…preferably driving across!
Charmaine
Becca, congrats on 2 years! Boy has this made me think…I would love to dive with sharks someday…they have always held a fascination for me, but they also scare me to death! :)
Happy Anniversary! : )
On my bucket list (of things outside of my norm that I would like to do and cross off as having done so) I would like to visit Ireland – maybe live there for a month or 2, see the country, connect with relatives I don’t even know, visit areas my grandparents came from, etc.
Congratulations, Becca!
My husband and I have traveled a lot, but my dream always has been and always will be to go to England to visit all of the castles and cathedrals and Stonehenge. I’ve always had a fascination with English history and have always wanted to go.
Thanks for reminding me to not put off my dreams!
That is some blog candy. Wow, what a treat it would be to win that. You are such an inspiration to me. Thanks for all you do.
Candy Meyers
Oh Becca, 2 years Congrats!!! What an inspiration you have become to us as followers.
I so much love all your art, & I thank You for it!
I never thought of making a bucket list, but again you have inspired me.
I would like to become an acclaimed artist, to follow in your footsteps.
Thanks for being You!
I beg to differ, ma’am. The pleasure has *not* been *all* yours. ;-) I’m sure I’m not alone when I say seeing your beautiful creativity definitely brings me pleasure.
One thing on my bucket list is to grant the ‘bicycle’ wish on the giving tree. I have three kids and one year I pray we are able to grant the wish to another child.
I would love to visit the USA and take advantage of the sales at the craft shops :) LOVE your blog, always a pleasure to visit.
What a generous batch of blog candy… Congrats on all your posts and beautiful cards. We love everything you do… you’ve made many people happy and inspired.
On the top of my bucket list is to welcome back a family member who’s been MIA from our family cirlcle for the last several years. Everyone is loved and important.
Congrats, Becca on two years now and thank you so much for sharing all of your beautiful talent . One thing on my list would be to get my craft room really organized. Thanks for your great giveaway and sharing all your creations.
A big thing on my bucket list is to find a new job/career direction now that I am essentially an empty nester. It was worth the sacrifice (financially) to be a SAHM with my kids as they were growing up. You can’t put a price on the benefits reaped from doing that (for them and for me). But now, I need to be able to pay the bills and build for our retirement.
Cyndee
I love your blog and creations. If I could make cards like anyone, you would be the first on my list.
I want to spend more time at a nursing home visiting lonely people that have no one. I haven’t been since Moma died and I do need to get back to that! Thanks for the reminder.
Congrats on two years of awe inspiring creations, Becca. I’d like to go up in a hot air balloon.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas…congrats on 2 yrs!! I would like to write a book…
Congratulations on two fabulous years!!! I love your blog and all that I have learned. One thing on my list is to teach others how to make your amazing twist box. I have already committed to doing that in October for my church group! Thanks for the inspiration.
Congrats on the anniversary! One “must do” thing on my bucket list is to see a volcano.
I would like to go to Alaska.
Becca Congrats on your 2 years blogging, your posts and pictures are so inspiring! One of the things on my bucket list is to conquer my fear of heights by taking a hot air balloon ride..
One thing on my bucket list is to visit the museums in Florence. My husband is taking for a quick trip to celebrate our 40th anniversary! I am truly blessed in so many ways!
Travel to the Holy Land of Israel.
Becca thank you for filling my mind with ideas and the courage to try them. One of the items on my list is to take my Mother to Ireland.
Congrats on your two years. You have done a fabulous job of inspiring lots of us!!! Thanks for the wonderful opportunity for the great candy. I would love to be able to retire and have time to create more and do volunteer work.
So,i will not in the position to do that because i sleep than because i live in Belgium,have an illness that keeps me in bet till noon,our time,

warm hugs
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Congratulations Becca, what a blessing you are to many!
My first “bucket list” item is to walk along the beaches in Florida with my husband, hand in hand and experience God’s personally created sunset. I live in Florida and have yet to do this!
Congrats on your anniversary, Becca!
I have several things I’d like to scratch off my own Bucket List. Here’s one: I am taking a Spanish class that begins next week! I have wanted to do this for ages and am really looking forward to some awkward giggles – mostly my own :-D
Thanks for the chance to win these fun goodies!
You’re blog is such an inspiration to me! I have used several of your very creative ideas!! Just last month I taught a workshop and we made your clothespin birthday reminder!
Before I die I would like to see Washington DC and the Vatican.
Becca, congrats on your blogoversary and thanx for the inspiration! Hmmnn … high on my bucket list would be to take a leisurely road trip to the west coast … dunno if it’d include Route 66 or not …
How lucky I am to have seen your beautiful cards for these two years, you never cease to “amaze” me. We were discussing you at my stamp club yesterday and we all agreed that you must manage your time extremely well.
My item for the bucket list is after I retire I want to go and rock the babies born to mothers on drugs. I
Hi, congratulations on your blogaversary! I love visiting your site and find it very inspiring.
I would love to volunteer at an animal shelter.
Hugs
Marisa
I just love visiting your blog…. your cards are gorgeous, and you share such great ideas! Thanks for a chance at some terrific blog candy too!
I would love to see Yosemite again. Have not been there since a family vacation when I was a kid. That is on my bucket list.
DeniseB
Congrats on two years! The #1 thing I want to do is visit all 50 of the U.S. states, I have 5 left to go!
becca…
congrats on your 2nd anniversary! not only do you inspire us with your beautiful creations; now you inspire us to challenge ourselves and for that i must say “thank you”.
i’ve always wanted to sponsor a child.
you let your light shine in so many ways — tfs.
Becca, you are so generous, love your blog and your creations.
I just started a list, so my #1 is to go to Peru at least every 2 years, it has been 5 years since the last time I visited my family and I miss them a lot.
God bless you.
Giovana
Congratulations on your 2nd anniversay!
Here goes: if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. Sometimes we just speak and don’t think what we are saying and this can be very hurtful. Once said it is very hard to pull those words back. I plan to very carefully not say anything to anyone that I wouldn’t want said to me. nc
I want to sky dive, really I do :)
Hi Becca – I’ve mentioned this many times in my posts to you, your cards over the top gorgeous. I’m so thankful to you for posting and sharing your amazing talent with all of us. I read about your husband’s health issues and keep you all in my prayers. We all know that life can be challenging at times, but it is extremely gratifying to know and to love God and to have the comfort of having HIM in charge.
I never saw The Bucket List but I that would be something I would like to put on my list, along with this year being the year that I get “myself” back into shape after always giving and giving to everyone else. I lost myself and I’m working to get some weight off with a healthy diet and exercise (I refuse to succumb to any sort of surgical intervention for something I was responsible for. . .I need to do this on my own!).
Congratulations on two years of blogging and thak you for the chance to win!
Here is the start of my bucket list: 1- Visit Australia
Congratulations on your 2nd anniversary. What a great idea doing a bucket list .One thing on my list is to stay health by eating better and exercising .
Congrats on two years! On my list is to be a nicer person. Take the time to smile at someone, ask how they’re doing, call someone to let them know I care about them. Just something nice!
Becca you are so generous. You are an amazing papercrafter and talented lady. The first thing on my bucket list and I hope it doesn’t seem too self centered, but I would love to get published. If I could reach that goal in my life, I would feel accomplished.
I would like to attend the wedding of each on my three children–one down, two to go.
Thank you for the opportunity to win some great blog candy.
Happy Anniversary!! It has been two years of FANTASTIC card ideas.
THANK you for sharing.
Congratulations Becca – i LOVE getting your posts in my inbox and “trying” to produce something half as good.
I think first on my list is same as Melinda – to be a better person. I do always try, but sometimes, impatience or frustration take over and i fail. So its back on the list.
I think I’ve enjoyed almost everyone of your 1000 pictures! Good thing we have digital cameras now… imagine what your processing bill would have been! I am planning on scrapbooking my parents memories in the next few months in honor of their 50th anniversary. This is a big drop in my bucket.
Hi Becca,
Thank you for the chance to win the wonderful collection of blog candy! I agree with another fan that we should be giving you the blog candy! Congrats on your 2 nd year anniversary, I have enjoyed every minute of it, even if you do cause me to buy more Spellbinder dies! I can’t wait to open your e-mails, not only is your work exquisite but you are an amazing person as well. I haven’t thought much about a bucket list, but the one thing I have promised God I would do (and haven’t yet) is to study and learn the Apologetics so I can defend my faith and teach others about God’s love. Thanks for the gentle reminder. < Jeanne
Congratulations on your anniversary! My new stamp room is one year old and I am moving things around, cleaning out, giving away, etc. You sure can accumulate a lot of stuff in one year. From my bucket list, I would like to spend one week in New York City during the Christmas Holidays.
Congrats! and THANKS for all your incredible creation!!
First on my bucket list….I would like to finish my college degree.
Becca, thank you for the inspiration you have provided! I look forward to each of your posts. I have just retired and for my bucket list I’m looking for a local women’s shelter/job training program to donate all my business suits/clothes/shoes to help other women entering the workforce.
Congratulation’s Becca, I have enjoyed most of the journey with you. The first thing on my bucket list is to give my newest grand daughter a big hug and a kiss when she is born tomorrow.
Two years of blogging! Wonderful! I think I found you just about 18 months ago. I know we have all felt blessed. I started a bucket list about 3 years ago, and checked off one item last fall – taking the ‘circle tour’ around Lake Superior. We camped our way counter clock-wise for about 10 days. Wonderful. Item # 2 – to see Niagara Falls – both sides.
Thanks for letting us share in your celebration.
To attend a concert by the Irish Tenors – in any city, in any country.
Congrats! There is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time…I’d like to start a scholarship fund.
Love your Becca Bits addition to the blog! One of my bucket list wants is to visit Alaska with my hubby. Maybe our next milestone annivery (10th) will be the one we celebrate in the Land of the Midnight Sun!
One item on my bucket list I would throw a party for a child who has never had one.
I would love to treat my sister to one of the trips we go on since she does it for me and my daughter .
Congratulations Becca! You are an amazing crafter and have helped me improve my own crafting skills.
My bucket list includes attending the Rose Parade.
Congratulations, Becca. You’ve made a lot of people happy over the past two years. You definitely “Light Up My Life.”
In that tone, my bucket list includes striving to light up someone else’s life every day in some way…a smile, a helping hand, a compliment. These can be small things or more elaborate offerings, but they mean so much to others. There is much we can share through simple words and actions and outreach.
Becky E.
i would like to pay for a stranger’s meal at a restaurant.
Congratulations……….and thank you for sharing your beautiful creations on your Blog.
Seeing the Rose bowl Parade is high on my bucket list
Congratulations on two years of blogging. I’ve so enjoyed following your blog. It’s been an awesome creative journey. One thing I’ve always wanted to do “someday” is to go to Switzerland, because that’s where my grandparents came from. Well, after 5 years of saving towards this goal, my husband and I are planning to go there this summer. So, one of the things on my bucket list is very close.
I would love to visit the Holy Land.
One item on my bucket list is to travel to all 50 states.
Congratulations! You are truly amazing and I look forward to every blog you post with anticipation! I would have to say that the number 1 thing on my bucket list is to be a better witness to show people Jesus!
Becca,
Congratulations on the two year blog., and your work inspires me. Just to get all of my closets cleaned out is near the top of my list. Does not seem like such a big job, but spending so much time out of state for medical treatment for my husband has taken a toil on our house. We will be going again in a month for stem cell harvest. Just hope to catch up on a few simple things this year.
One thing on my bucket list would be to enjoy a trip to Hawaii and enjoy a Luau with my children — before they leave the nest!!
WooHoo, congrats to you on two wonderful inspirational years!!!!! #1 on mt list is to have all 3 of my kids home just for a weekend with us. Just being a family, cokking laughing etc…
Congratulations on two years of blogging! I always enjoy seeing what you have created next! Never really thought about a “bucket list”; but now that you mention it, one thing I would like to do is volunteer at a hospital.
Thanks for the chance to win and will check back tomorrow. : )
I have really enjoyed two whole years of your blog. Congratulations!
I am currently working on an altered book with the theme of the bucket list…I plan to trace my genealogy.
Dear Becca, Thank you for all you do.
I want to spend as much time with my grandchildren as I possibly can and hope they remember me in a positive way when I’m gone. So I guess the #1 item on my list is for my grandchildren to remember me as “the crafty grandma” and the one who did fun projects with them.
Kathy
congrats on 2 years blogging. I check your blog daily. I would love to skydive.
Congrats Becca, you have an incredible talent and I am so thankful for your choice to share it!!
So many things on my bucket list but the first I’ll mention is to share the Word of the Lord with my family and see them come to accept Christ as their Saviour so that we may be together forever with Christ in Eternity!
thanks, Tracy in MIchigan!
First, thank you for 2 years of inspiration. I want to help my mom get strong enough for her next surgery. That’s my focus at the moment.
Thanks, Becca

It is hard to believe that you will really read this comment with so many others to read and then 7 days worth! But I really want to express that your idea of having your fan club list their really important goals shows what a special person you are. God has put each of us on the earth to glorify Him. This exercise will help many find that purpose. He has already given me many opportunities to accomplish so much but there is more to come. My highest goal is to write a Bible study on the women of the Bible, that is no 1!
I’ve always wanted to write a book.
Congratulations on your anniversary! I want to be able to do more – anonymously – to help others. We hear of needs through church or other ways, and I’d love to have the financial freedom to completely meet the need.
Hi Becca!!!
OH how you’ve got me thinking!!! Gosh I think that I should actually start “crafting” and not just watching what everyone else is creating. I think you have inspired me enough to at least just open the pack of paper and adhesive and get cracking!!!
Thanks a million,
Valerie Martin
Congratulations! I have enjoyed all of your posts and photos.
One thing on my list is to make a scrapbook for my granddaughter.
Congratulations Becca! You inspire us everyday and I thank you for that. One thing I would like to do is to learn the Celtic language from an elder. So many of the world’s languages are being lost everyday.
Thank you for your generous spirit!
I love your creativity. My bucket list includes getting my children’s scrapbooks done. They are 27, 24, and 21. I only have one partially done.
On my bucket list would be to learn how to be more helpful to people who need my help. Not to turn away. Congrats on your two years. Linda S. in NE
I have had fun reading through other people’s Bucket list items. It’s harder than you think to come up with a list, but even harder to make the wishes come true. I encourage everyone to take the first step, whether it’s saving for a trip, contacting your church or nursing home to see how they can help, or taking a meal to someone who needs cheering up. Don’t put your dreams off.
I would like to learn how to use my computer for more than internet and word processing. I’m going to put a date on my calendar to learn a skill such as scanning, so I don’t let the opportunity slip away.
Thanks for your wonderful, beautiful blog and the chance to really think about what our goals and dreams are.
Love the bucket list idea. I would like to write a book (or books) on Christian education.
Wow….what a great idea! As soon as I read this I knew several things I wanted to put on my list.
I want to volunteer for the local Meals on Wheels delivering hot meals to shut-ins and the elderly. I heard they need volunteers to keep the program alive. I don’t know what I’m waiting for…I need to sign up now!
Congratulations on your 2 year Blogaversary!! I would love to be able to start my own party business some day much to the delight of my family.
I would like to actually sit down and make a bucket list. You have inspired me. Thanks!
I want to catch up on the scrapbook of my daughter. She almost 19 and I’m still on about year 3, LOL.
Great idea! I’m starting my list with doing something nice for my “little” sister, because she does nice things for her crippled “big” sister.
i want to go to the Grand Canyon.
I am collecting 80 birthday cards for my Dad’s 80 birthday next month…
Connie NH
Becca, Thank you for all of the great ideas you make available to all of us. You do such a fantastic job. Your creativity is truly amazing. One of the items on my bucket list is to pay forward someone’s dinner at a very upscale restaurant – secretly, of course.
Congratulations on two years of Blogging! You have blessed us all so much with your God given talents and your witness for Him. Thank you so very much. I look forward to your Blog each day and am always amazed by your beautiful creations. My bucket list is long. I love to make cards, but, like you, I enjoy all sorts of embellishments and layers. It’s not unusual for me to spend 5 or 6 hours creating one card. This year I ordered some ODBD stamps with the intent of making sets of cards for our church to sell to raise money for our mission trip to Jamaica. Unfortunately, I could not get enough done in time. Working more than full time and spending weekends with grandchildren leaves little time to create as I want to. This year, I will start earlier, try to think a bit more “basic” and get the cards done for our next mission trip.
I love your site and your work !! I don’t do much these days as I watch my 14 month old grdaughter everyday. But I still collect and read alot.
Sandy
It’s tough out there for many and so the young people in our church made up “Million Dollar Bags” filled with a bottle of water, hand warmers, sanitizer, peanut butter crackers, granola bar, dried fruit, 2-3 boxes of different eats, stapled the top of the bags…sold them for $3 each to church members…to be given to a homeless person instead of giving money. I bought two today and thought I would give them out next week. Well, on my way home, I saw a couple on a corner with a homeless sign…it was my pleasure to hand them the two bags and say “given with love”. What a thrill for me, and I got a thank you from them! My bucket list will include more of this for sure. Would, of course, like to finish some of my crafting ambitions. You Becca, are an inspiration…I know everyone feels the same way.
Hugs,
Jan Castle
Congratulations on 2 years of sharing your time and talent with all of us on your blog. It has been amazing! There are many things on my bucket list. Some are just dreams. One thing I would love to happen is to win the lottery so we could pay off my family & friends bills so we would all have more time to spend with our families. Thanks for the chance to win some amazing bolg candy—you are sooo generous!
Karen M.
My kids are getting older but I would like to take them to Disney World. I had the pleasure of visiting DW, twice, as a child and I would like them to have the same.
HAPPY BLOGAVERSARY and more importantly THANK YOU for sharing your stories and your amazing creations with us every day! You are truly gifted with an amazing talent!!
Hmmm, bucket list… well, I want to see the Great Wall of China.
Thanks for the chance to win some Awesome blog candy! :)
Becca, you are so generous. I haven’t thought of a “bucket list” but just got out of the hot tub with my husband and we decided we should come up with one. I would like to see the Grand Canyon so I will start with that. Thanks for your thoughtfulness.
I want to be a grandmother.
I Love visiting your blog every day and see all the beautiful creations. You are my inspiration and I want to grow up to be like you one day. :)
Yesterday I decided to start making some cards. I have started out small and just did some basic cards with nothing fancy. I have been accumulating some of the Spellbinders and will eventually fit those into my cards but that is for after I get the basics down.
You do such lovely work and congratulations on your 2 year Anniversary!
Becca, it is a very good reminder that we don’t have control in life, we are totally helpless when we are to come to encounter life’s most critical circumstances, such as illness. But one thing we can be certain that we have the assurance of eternal life when we believe that Jesus is Christ the Lord who has paid the price for the redemption, we are children of God through Jesus. I would like “to say more kind words to more people each and everyday” to be my first priority in my Bucket List, as I often lose patience too easily, although I know very well that kind words make other cheer up over and over again, as they are well appreciated and remembered, and they will be re-winded and re-winded.
Congrats on two years of sharing your amazing papercrafting talents and your generous heart.
My bucket is to spend more time in the most stunning of cathedrals, made by the world’s best architect, The Great Outdoors designed by the Highest Power.
~C8>
Congratulations on 2 years of creativity & inspiration! I would love to go on a mission trip.
Congratulations! Your blog and all your creations are so awesome! Thanks for all you share…..One of the items on my bucket list is to sort all my years of photographs so I can share them with my family.
Thank you Becca for giving so much of yourself to help all of us. I’ve learned many things from watching your video tutorials. I’m a visual learner…so I love when you make a video…I’m 76 so pictures work best for me.. I loved your medallian series and got the punch and did it I watched your tutorial several times to be able to do it.
I don’t have a list so to speak but I would love to travel more. I would love to go to the Holy Lands if my health permits…and other special places like Lourdes and a place in Turkey that has strong spiritual history.
Thank you for this opportunity to share.

Thanks Becca for the inspiration and sharing of yourself. I do believe that God sends special people to pass on his message and I think you are that person. I want to help someone that didn’t ask for the help but really needs it. God Bless, Teresa
I would like to return to Italy. I was there all through high school and long to go back to all my old haunts!
I “Love” your blog, you make the most beautiful cards! The one thing that I have on my bucket list is to secretly do somethng special for one person every month this year. It can be something so simple it just has to have a positive impact on their day.
Have enjoyed your creative art and wish you the best. I want to have an audience with the Pope.
Congratulations on your 2nd anniversary! You inspire all of us.
I would like to set up a fund that will pay for food, vaccinations, routine care and, especially, emergenciy care for pets, when the pet’s “parents” can’t afford to pay because they’ve lost jobs, are experiencing hard times for other reasons (maybe medical), or the cost is more than they can afford. I think it’s tragic for everyone when people have to give up or lose a member of their family because they can’t afford to keep them anymore or pay the veterinarian.
Becca…your crepe flowers are beautiful! Thanks for the tutorial & your time to make it. One of the items on My Bucket List is: Visit Greece with my husband one summer.
Congratulations, Becca! Your site is always an inspiration, something I look forward to every day. I hope your husband has fully recovered from his recent illness.
The one thing I would like to continue on my bucket list is to help my nephew pay off his student loan.
I want to pay for a soldier’s meal without them knowing about it. I just have to go to the city to eat out and look for a soldier and in the city near us is an Air Force base so that should be a good one to do soon.
My dream is to change the laws to help protect innocent children against pedophiles. Children are our future, and what kind of future do they have after being molested. If it took me walking across the US in the rain and snow to get peoples signatures to pass tougher laws then I would. Abused children need to know that we care.
Becca, I’m sorry if these post is too deep. I enjoy looking at your blog everyday. You are very talented, thanks for all the projects you post. Keep up the good work. Your sister, in Christ Catherine.
Thank you for all that you share with us. You have an amazing talent and are so generous with your creations’
I thought that the movie BUCKET LIST was wonderful and inspiring. Where do you begin to create your own list???
Well, I need to begin and stick to an exercise plan. My core body strength is “missing” and causing all sorts of back pain/problems. Thanks for giving me that little “push”!
What a great way to celebrate! I have a list of 100 things I want to do before I die long before the bucket list or buried life, so this will be fun!
I want to go sky diving!
CONGRATULATIONS Becca! What a fabulous two years it’s been for us. Your tips, tutorials and techniques have helped me so much. You ARE an inspiration! Your blog candy will be so much fun for whoever wins. Thanks for the chance. I think an Alaskan cruise with my husband would be a dream come true. That’s high on my bucket list. I hope that happens this year, if life doesn’t get in the way, that’s our plan. I sure hope your Hubby is still doing better! I’m still praying for you both. Blessings! Patty W.
I’m getting laid off my job today. A bucket list seems like a million miles out of reach for me. I guess I’ll just carry the bucket for everyone else and hope I can be a help to anyone in need.
Hi Becca, I’m new to your site & I can honestly say that it’s my favorite. The work you do is so beautiful. I look forward everyday to see what you have created.
1st on my list is getting back to church.
Congratulations on two years of blogging .
I want to be a multidisciplinary designer
i can’t believe, every time i’m here there is a candy! thank you
I would love to start my own blog I have absolutly no idea where to start.
Well, #2 on my bucket list is to do less Antique shopping.
Colleen B.
My number one goal is to help my husband raise money to build a group home in our county for abused kids. Each child would have their own room and feel at home, instead of being just a number on a list.
First off…let me say thank you Becca for sharing your creativity and inspiring me to reach higher and higher in my crafting! I have learned so many awesome techniques from your blog and love the tutorials! I have already crossed off #1 on my bucket list…so far in a year I have lost 64.4 lbs. and am determined to keep it off! The next thing on my bucket list is to be financially able to bless those in great need…I would love to be standing in the line at the grocery and when the person in front of me gets ready to pay for their groceries…I tell them…never mind..I will get them for you…just pass it on! That would bless The Lord and bless me as well…you just never know where that person is in life and what a blessing you could be to them!
Dusty
I’d love to visit Australia.
I would like to give a meal to someone in need. Thanks for the blog candy and for sharing. Pam
Becca,
Thank you for inspiring us daily with your art. One thing on my bucket list is to go on a cruise with my husband. Our dream vacation!
Congratulations. I just recently saw bucket list and have heard of the other on a couple of talk shows. I would love to visit Ireland.
Congratulations on your two years…I visit your blog daily.
One of the items on my bucket list is to visit Australia. A co-worker went a couple years ago and I wanted every detail of what they did and saw.
Keep up the wonderful work, I look forward to seeing your creations.
Love all the beautiful cards you make. You are awesome. Thanks for sharing with us.
part of my bucket list would be to come up with some sort of idea that stops stealing in airports, being the victim in January coming back from New York. I was told there is nothing that can be done about it, WHY.
Congratulations Becca on 2 years.
Margaret
UK
Day 2! Thanks for all you do!
awesome blog…..awesome cards…….thanks for inspiring……
2nd thing on my bucket list is to get me a motorcylce the sport one’s.
On my personal bucket list….to walk on a beach in Florida and gather shells…sUSAn
Well Becca i know that you want just one thing on the bucket list…but you start me on this and since yesterday i can’t stop myself!!!
I’d like to visit all the lighthouses on the East coast. Congrats on your 2 years! You’ve shared some amazing stuff!
Hi Becca!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Your site!!! And ALL the beautiful things you share with us. I’ve used MANY of them!
My Bucket List Item for today;
I make it a point to visit my Mom & Dad everyday now. Both need me and I have learned to be “Patience”, everything is in S-L-O-W motion at there age. I am lucky to have a family that understands and helps out where ever they can.
Thanks again for all you do!
Dotty A
I would like to trace my ancestral heritage. That would be a dream come true!
Becca
Congrats on the 2 year mark! You never cease to amaze me with your talent. Thank you for your willingness to share your God given gift.
My bucket list is many but I will start with I have always wanted to go to Washington DC. And our convention is there this summer. My whole family is going for a week and then I will stay for convention. God is so good!
Thanks Becca!
I think that you have inspired most all your readers to now start their own Bucket List, something that I plan to start doing very soon. Something that I have always said that I wanted to do is help people in need. I actually did that yesterday when I invited my 21-year-old niece over to spend the day with me. Her parents are divorced, they are both alcoholics and one of them is also a drug abuser, she has one brother that lives too far away to visit frequently and she is a very slow learner. I will definitely make more time for her and be available when she needs someone to confide in.
#2 on my list is to volunteer at a location that really has a positive impact on man kind – I work for a large corporation now …. I do it to pay the bills, but the corporate greed is very discouraging.
thanks for making us think Becky,
Sandra
Checked this one off my list–white water rafting (at age 57) Should have done it years ago. It was great!
Well, one thing on my bucket list is to visit Hawaii. Next one will be listed next day. Congrats girl on your milestone.
Good luck everyone. My Bucket list would be to change how the world looks at the mentally challenged especially the mentally retarded. My son who died has motivated me he was challenged his whole life. The programs they have are substandard and they are always the last to see any programs. I intend to change this. Congratulations on your 2nd Anniversary Becca. : )
Becca,
One of my items is to go to Ireland to see where my ancestors came from!
Happy Anniversary!
Deb
Happy 2 years. I love checking in with you. Hope your hubby is doing well. One of the top items on my list is to get better at spreading the Word of our Lord, you do such a wonderful job of it in your cards.
Happy 2nd Blogaversary! I love your works of art. Please keep them coming. The papercrafting work would have an empty hole without them. Truly amazing!
I have never heard of a bucket list but it is a good concept. The first thing on my list would be a become an expert papercrafter like you, Becca. Thank you for sharing your love of papercrafting with us.
Congratulations! I have recently discovered your blog,….and I have already found so much inspiration!
#1 on my bucket list is to volunteer time at a rehabilitation center. After my life threatening accident of 1985, I found the time encouraging others when I was in rehab was some of the most fulfilling time in my life.
My list – one thing on my list would be to be able to take my sister on a trip and pay for it all- she has take me and my daughter on trips that i could never pay back. HAPPY 2 YEARS
To visit Germany with my husband.
Animals – God’s beautiful little creatures need help. We are taking away their habitats and they are lost. I am beginning by keeping much of my landscape in its natural form. These past 3 days while our 32″ of snow have been falling I’ve been feeding the birds nonstop and putting out corn for the deer. I am constantly looking for new ways to help all these little guys.
One of the items on my “bucket list” would be to go to the Grand Canyon.
A new item, just added today, would be to win this blog candy :)
#2-Maybe take a cruise to someplace warm. I know that doesn’t sound like much, but if I did it, I would also be conquering a HUGE fear of mine….large ocean-going vessels. Silly, I know, but still, we all have our weaknesses.
I would like to make 100 cards and donate them to the library to be sold as a fundraiser.
Number 2 in my bucket list is to meet with all my brothers, sisters and nephews and go on a cruise. Much time has passed since the last time we were together.
My life’s ambition is to stand face to face with Tutankhamun’s facemask.
So a trip to Cairo Museum would be in order. Am I too weird?
Happy Anniversary Becca!
I’ve always had a secret wish to someday narrate a National Geographics Special. I know it’s odd, but when I was a child and we use to watch a movie Friday afternoons at school, I was always mesmerized by the voices of the men who did the narration and I always thought how neat it would be to leave behind something like that as part of your legacy.
Day Two ~ Bucket List item #2 ~ see Glacier National Park and drive the Going to the Sun Road.
Thanks again for the great blog candy opportunity and Happy Anniversary, Becca!
My first bucket list item is to visit Switzerland!!! I had an “exchange” sister from there in high school, and she’s been to see me, but I’ve never made it there!
Crazy as it sounds but I’d like to drive a volkwagon beetle. Never got a chance in the 60’s.
Hmmm…. Bucket List. My best friend has one, but I’v never thought about it. One thing I would like to do is be financially able to be a giver- give to those in need. Like build a house for someone that needs it. Or be santa to a family in need. I love the idea in our community of Fridays being a day you Pay it Forward by paying for the person in the drive thru behind you as an example. I’ll be thinking of my Bucket List all day, Becca! Thank you for the inspiration!
Another thing (#2) on my bucket list is to visit another country.
I believe in volunteering. I have always wanted to volunteer for Make-A-Wish and this past year I finally did it! Congrats on two years, but thank YOU for blessing my life with such amazing inspiration!
I would love to see New Zealand…that would be awesome!
What a lovely idea Becca!
I would love to take my 4 kids, their spouses and my one grandbaby on a vacation in the bahamas with my wonderful husband!
See how loved you are! I would love to be able to pay for my entire family to take a weeks vacation together (children, spouses, grandchildren, mother-in law, aunts uncles, …)
Hi again, One of the things I’d like to do before it’s all over is be a CASA volunteer – court appointed special advocate for children caught up in the family court system and foster care because their parents have messed up.
OK, today on my list. Please post this comment as credit towards Marilyn Hughes, the lady who is having neck surgery. I have no idea who she is, but thought a RAK would start me off on the right path today. Everyone needs a fair chance, even if they are not well~
My husband & I gave some cash to a neighbor who is working towards a goal to help better our community, so not only did it fulfill a wish to help others, but I’ve already checked it off my list! Can’t wait to see your tut for the Woven Lattice card — I’m hoping to add that frame to my Spellbinders collection soon.
Becca,
Thanks for your inspiration. New to your blog but love your cards.
Bucket LIst
Stamp more!
Quilt more!
I have been working on my bucket list for a few years now. Since I was in treatment for breast cancer. It is really a neat feeling to be able to cross one item off your list. The big one on my list is bring my mother home to live with me before she dies. She is currently in a nursing home and is steadily loosing herself. I want to help her get herself back.
How sweet of you to offer such “Amazing” blog candy! First on my bucket list is to take my Mom and my hubby and kids of course, to Ireland…where our ancestors are from! We had hoped to do it this year, but finances (or lack thereof :-)) halted our plans.
Day Two and I’m really getting into my “Bucket List.” One of the top “things” to do is to organize my crafting space. That’s a biggie.
Becky E.
Another bucket list item is to attend the college graduation of my daughter.
This was an amazing idea! It makes one stop and really think about actively living instead of existing. I would like to add the adoption of a child to my bucket list.
Another item on my list would be to finish a college degree – Wonderful inspiration this is, compiling a bucket list…..thanks for making us all stop to think.
Teri
I love your blog. it is so full of wonderful information.
Thank you so much for the wonderful chance to win this wonderful blog candy.
Celeste
I would like to go to Times Square for New Year’s Eve.
publish a short story.
I would love to see the thatched cottages over in the British Isles! They have always fascinated me!
Next on my bucket list is return to Asia and rekindle the friendship that I made 10 yrs ago.
#2 for me I always wanted to help train service dogs. I am such a dog lover and to be able to have a part in someone getting companion that can help them out in so many ways would be such a great feeling.
I am really enjoying seeing what others have on their list what a great idea Becca!
I’d like to stop buying so much “stuff” and use my own “stash” for every project! You know, I thought that sounded really good until I actually saw it written here! What a joke, right?! LOL!!!!!!!
#2 for me also…
My second thought for my Bucket List is to write a Hymn. I play the violin for my Church services every Sunday and have for many years. Music and Hymns especially are a huge part of my life…I’d love to add one to the awesome ones already out there. One especially for our own Church, but special to them all.
Have a great day Becca!
One of my dreams is to visit the American Southwest, among all of the old indian sites. I love your cards and designs.
Kathy
my second item on bucket list is to take my husband to my grandparents home in Italy.
Another thing on my bucket list is to be a better listener!
I haven’t been to Nova Scotia since I was 14. I have always wanted to make a trip back to visit my grandparents’ grave.
Thanks for the second chance to win.
Oh Becca: this is just like you, beautiful and generous! What a great grouping of prizes. OK here is my first item on the bucket list: I would like to be published in a magazine!
Mary
Another thing on my bucket list is to go back to school to get my master’s degree.
Today, on my list, I will try to help a friend whose husband is fighting cancer. She’s having a hard time praying and staying strong. I will do my best to help her through this trying time.
Believe it or not I just saw the “Bucket List” Saturday night at my dd’s! Love it. This has been on a to do list for a loooonnng time –Trip to Hawaii…. maybe this year! lol
We were supposed to go for our 20th – well we were raising kids need I say more. Than our 25th… same thing. Than our 30th…last year I was scouting prices, places etc and my dd told us she was getting married… so hoping for this year!
Second item on my bucket list is to be more organized…especially my craft room! Thanks again for a wonderful two years…may there be many more inspirational ideas from you.
A second item from my bucket list is to learn how to surf (in the ocean, not the web!)
Second item on my bucket list…at this stage of life is finding ways to help my parents. I live a few hundred miles and so I drive over the mountains as often as weather permits and try to cook things for the freezer meals while there and shop for clothes for them…and for my Dad just sitting and talking. I would like to do more and help them become more motivated at this stage of life.
I would like to make a meal for someone in the community who is ill. Hugs, Nellie.
Second day! Another item on my list is to secretly pay for someone else’s meal at a restaurant. Then sit back and watch when the waiter tells them their meal is paid for. :) Hopefully they’ll PIF & do something nice for someone else.
I would like to visit Washington D.C.
On my list, I’d like to ski in New Zealand on my birthday!
Thanks for the opportunity to win great blog candy, and for all your inspirational designs.
Niki
I would love to swim with dolphins someday. They’re just SO cute!
My youngest daughter was born in Bermuda while we were stationed there as a military family. We left when she was a baby and I would love to take her and her family back to visit the place of her birth.
I would love to someday go to spring training for our Milwaukee Brewers. Every year I think – if only. Someday it will happen!
Way to go Becca! Two years of making gorgeous creations for us to enjoy and emulate. You are truly amazing, and you use your gift to beautify our lives a little each day. My bucket list includes hopefully taking my husband golfing in Hawaii.
Day two bucket list: Finish my scrapbooks I have started doing. Thanks for sharing and your great giveaway too.
Day two: Clean and sort & downsize my “stuff”. I only want to keep what I will use and makes me happy. Too much stuff blocks me from using it.
I look at your blog nearly every day and always when I need inspiration. Your examples are so imaginative and beautiful as well as superbly constructed.
One thing I would like to do before I die is write a book. I have always wanted to be a published author. I have started a Christian romance novel. I would like to finish it and have it published.
I would like to spend a week one on one with my grown daughter.
I would like to teach someone how to speak English.
Thanks for your amazingly generous blog candy offer!
Go to Greece…with my husband!
Your blog always inspires me, congratulations on the anniversary! I have often thought about creating a “bucket list” A number 1 for me right now would be to spend some one on one time with each of my Grandchildren & do something special with them.
Bucket list day two hmmm. Yesterday I thought I was going to make a journal for these- so far it has not happened (I am in cleaning mode- not stamping mode- how sad!). SOOOOO…. today’s bucket list item will be to make a bucket list journal. I think it will be interesting to look back at it….. hopefully it will all be checked off!
Hello!
I check your blog every day and this post brought a smile for me! The concept of crossing off something from one’s own list that would then cross something off a stranger’s list is great! It makes the thinking behind the wish go in a different direction altogether – as in pass it forward.
I would like to be able to be a secret “Santa Claus” to a homeless child and family. :<) What fun that shopping would be – to take the wish lists and fill them all!
Wising you a good day today!
Barbara Diane
My list item today is to spend as much time with my grandchildren as I can. They are getting older, and my chances to create childhood memories, and memories for me too, are quickly passing.
It’s funny you mention it, b/c I’m working on my #1 right now. I’m working towards establishing myself creating wise so I can quit my day job, that way I can spend more time in the ministry.
Congratulations to 2 years!!! Hers to many more years of awing and inspiring us all !!! :)
One of the first thing on my list is to vist Africa and see the wonderful wildlife that it has!!
Thank you for the chance to win the wonderful blog candy.
Day #2~ Invigorating~ Take an ecco-trek vacation that involves zip-gliding through the forest.
I would like to cuddle the babies in the hospital that need extra care.
Day #2: I have always wanted to go on an African safari.
Congratulations on two years of wonderful messages and beyond beautiful cards and inspiration!!!
What I will do is to make cards and give them to friends and relatives when I am thinking about them.
I always think about them, and think about making cards for them, but always procrastinate and never get them down.
I would like to finish all the craft projects that I have started.
I want to write a book…….I have always wanted to author a children’s series of books.
Day 2… I would like to see the coastal states I have not been to yet.
Day 2 – quit smoking !!! I am on Day two of being smoke -free
Day 2 – My husband wants to go white water river rafting on our next vacation. I guess I need to be brave and agree to go along with him and do something like stepping out of my box and give it a try even though it scares me to pieces!
I want to go to all 50 states and visit not just drive through.
#1 on my list is to be debt free. I was almost there until I got sick and was in ICU and consequently the hospital for 6 wks. But God is good all the time and I will get there. Becca love your site. Congrats
Love your blog Becca – it is the first one I look at every day! Your cards are so inspirational!
I would love to get my life and my finances organised to be able to enjoy life a little better!
2. Add a trip to Alaska to my Bucket List.
I would also like to visit Ireland to see the land of my ancestors
First let me say I love your blog, I check it every time I’m on my computer. Thank you for the opportunity to enter for a chance to win a prize on your blog. It seems my CL husband and I have had a run of bad luck lately. One of many things on my bucket list would be to finish the tumbling blocks quilt I started approx 3-4 years ago.
I have wanted to create cards for “Cards from Home” for awhile now and it looks like it may soon become a reality. A group of ladies from my church meet once a month to make cards and this month we are going to devote our entire cardmaking time to the “Cards from Home” organization. I’m so excited!
And by the way, your are an artist. Your cards are not just cards, they are art. I love and look forward everyday to seeing what beautiful work of art you have come up with. They are not only lovely, but so inspirational. I’m a very big fan.
First of all thank you so much for the chance to win such great blog candy! I am a follower and I love your blog. You have inspiring crafts that I have done and given as gifts. I enjoy your blog and I am glad that I found you. Congrats on you Anniversary and Best wishes
God Bless
Pam
I can’t decide if I want to win or not! That is pretty silly because it would be nice but I will be out of town from Friday until Monday night.
My list: I would love to take my kids to another country. I want them to see how other people live and just how fortunate they are and to realize that just because this is the way we do it in America does not make it right or wrong just different from other people and countries.
I”m back for day two. This is so much fun! Let’s see so far it’s:
1. visit Australia and
2. go on a cruise. My friends tease me about this one because my grandfather, Eugene Daly, survived the Titanic. I’m still not deterred, though. I really want to take a cruise someday.
I’ll be back again tomorrow! Thanks for doing this! I hope I win!
Hugs,
Snoopy :D
1st off – CONGRATS on completing 2 years of blogging!!!!!
One item in my top 10 bucket list items is scubs dive the Great Barrier Reef. We have done the Fl Keys and most of the Carribean but want to branch out.
I love the way you think outside the box when using the Spellbinders templates. Keep up the great work.
Day 2 for Anniversary 2!
First – I want to make sure I always tell the bloggers that I “stalk” each day (as my nephew says!) how much I enjoy, and aspire to do, their work.
Second – on my busket list – a long trip to Ireland, where both sides of my family is from, with my son, daughter in law & (for now) 2 grandsons. A driving trip that takes time and we spend alot of time talking & laughing.
Way at the top of my list is to win a cool prize like this. would that be part of a bucket list if I really have no control over it?
Congratulations, Becca, on 2 years blogging! You have been such a blessing to me over the time that I have ‘known’ you. I have particularly appreciated you sharing aspects of your faith, along with, of course your cards and projects. Now you’ve done it again, and you’ve prompted me to think about a bucket list. So, number 1 – over the course of the year, I want to invite everyone from our church to dinner at least once.
Thanks Becca – God bless.
Anne.
Love your work…hope you’re having a great day!
Day 2…Yay.Let me see, I think I would like to help a missionary in a foreign country for two weeks. Our church has several and my husband and I have been invited. It would be nice to combine service with pleasure.
Congratulations Becca! I love everything you post. During the next year I want to host many “new members” dinner for my church.
Wow! I guess one that comes to mind is to do lots more sewing for the hospitals such as gowns and blankets for the babies. It is on my bucket list, but life always gets so busy. But I know I just have to make time for what is important to us.
One important trip I would like to take is to go visit both my
sisters. We have been close all our lives but have ended up
each in different states. We are all getting close to retirement
so I hopefully we can do it soon!
Becca congrats on 2 years! I visit your blog everyday! A Bucket List well so many things I would love to do but we never know how much time we really have.
So on the top of my list and most important is to spend more time with my family.
Second would be to go to Italy for one whole month! And eat my way around the country! Woo Hoo!
Thanks for the chance to win some great candy! Have a great day.
One of my list wishes would be to travel to Italy and visit the many wineries.
Have an awesome day!
Congrats on 2 years of a wonderful blog! I’d love to conduct classes on card making and paper crafting.
Here’s my Day 2 bucket list wish….I would like to make journals for cancer patients so they can write down what they might not be able to voice outloud: dreams, hopes, fears, etc. For the little ones, it would be a book with pages they could color.
Thank you for giving us this opportunity to reflect on our busy days & remember what’s important.
Becca congrats on 2 years! I’m adding the Hot Rod Drag tour to my Bucket list. I attended the power tour last year with my Dad and we had so much fun, since we both love to drag race, it would be wonderful to take him on the drag tour.
, BECCA BECCA [;EASE EMTER ,E OM UPIR B;PG CAMDU CPMTEST. ,MY
BUCKET LIST/BIRTHDAY IS PROVIDING FOOD FOR THE HOLIDAYS FOR A
FAMILY THAT NEEDS A LITTLE HELP. WE HAVE WHAT WE NEED AS FAR AS FOOD, HOUSEING ETC SO HELPING ANOTHER WOULD REALLY MAKE US
FEEL GOOD. MAYBE WHEN THAT FAMILY IS BACK ON THEIR FEET, THEY
CAN DO THE SAME FOR ANOTHER. BUT MY REAL BUCKET LIST/BIRTHDAY
GIFT WOULD BE MEETING YOU AS YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION FOR ALL MY
CARD MAKING. YOU ARE A GIFT FROM HEAVEN SHARING ALL YOUR IDEAS
AND TALENT WITH US. GOD KNOWS, SOME OF US REALLY NEED IT, LIKE
ME. THANK YOU
CYNTHIA B.
Wow! I started out reading each and every comment, but my eyes are crossed. Wonderful ideas and as inspirational as your beautiful cards. Congratulations on your 2nd Anniversary, we’re so lucky to be able to look at your work every day.
I have a lot on my “bucket list”, but I must start on the one closest to my heart right now. I have started a “gratitude journal”, and I want to be committed to write at least five gratitudes in it each day.
Congrats on completing 2 years of blogging!! I love looking at all your creations and learning from them. Keep up the great work.
First thing on my bucket list….visit Australia. Hope i can cross it off someday :-).
Thanks,
Monica
Congrats on two years of wonderful blogging…. I visit your site everyday……
I want to visit each of the National Parks (my list is pretty long already) and sit and praise God for His creation
Congrats on 2 years. You bring us all such joy with your beautiful creations. One of the things on my bucket list is to start my own blog.
What an interesting way to do a contest. The first thing on my bucket list is to continue to do my best to win souls to Christ for the upbuilding of HIS KINGDOM. I have family members who are still not saved and we know tomorrow is not promised to us.
Hmmm, another item on my bucket list is: open a tea shop w/ fun handmade gifts and little baked finger foods.
Happy Blogaversary! I really enjoy your blog. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful ideas and creativity.
For my Bucket List, I’m an army brat and I was born in Germany and spent many of my childhood years there. I would love to take my husband, son and daughter-in-law on a tour of Europe. Show them where I was born and all the wonderful sites.
Becca..thank you for all the beautiful and inspiring creations these past two years. God has truly blessed you.
I like Deb Robinson too want to win souls to Christ and get salvation for my non believing family…….
another wish on my bucket list: To visit the Holy Land and sit and imagine what it was like when Jesus walked this land as a human.
Day 2
I love to make cards but do not use many. I save them and when I get a box full off they go to our servicemen overseas. My brother was a “lifer” in the Navy. He was just a kid when the war in Viet Nam broke out. I remember how our servicemen were treated. His son is now a “lifer” in the Marine Corp. I keep thinking of our servicemen away from family and friends. This is my humble way of saying “Thank you”.
Wow, what a FABULOUS blog candy and a wonderful reason to celebrate! You have been an amazing inspiration for the past 2 years! Here’s a “snippet” of my Bucket List!
1. Visit Alaska
2. Go on a Mission Trip
3. Pay someone’s gas bill when they fill up (without them knowing-and I’ll pick the truck instead of the geo tracker! LOL)
4. Be at every single one of my son’s socker games.
5. Send a letter to a random address across the world and see if they write back!
Thank you so much for all you do! Not only do you inspire us but you get us to think about doing things for others! I truly LOVE your creativity. The start of my list…
1. To inspire and encourage others like Jesus did (and like you do)! :-)
I’ll be back tomorrow with another….
Thanks for the chance to win your yummy blogaversary candy!
Congrats on 2 yrs of blogging!
I would love to make a trip across the Atlantic Ocean.
I’ve been fortunate to be able to across the Pacific Ocean.
hugs

#1 entry
Day 2 post:…..the 2nd thing I would love to do is see the Redwood trees…….
Number one on my list is to be able to see my mother in Alaska
I am so excited, I’m going to England and France this summer so will be crossing an item off my list that I really never expected to be able to do. I send cards to shut in’s from my church for my good deed list.
Enjoy your beautifyl blog.
Day 2
Number 2 on my bucket list is to make cards for good causes – I have already sent off some ‘Cards For Troops’ but I intend to continue sending to them all year.
Many congratulations, Becca, on your 2-year Blogaversary and all of your achievements.

Grow spiritually is top on my list of what i want to do
it’s just a daily forever project that always needs recommitment
thank you Becca
I have become addicted to your blog, with it’s inspiration and projects. I would love to purchase exercise equipment and lose that extra weight.
day 2…
i would like to volunteer at the rehab hospital — i was there twice after ms attacks and they do awesome work there with fantastic results.
congratulations your 2nd blogaversary!!
Day 2
Establish a sanctuary for unwanted, abandoned cats
Thank you, again, for the chance to win such wonderful Blog Candy. The second thing on my “Bucket List” would be to find the time to visit the residents of the nursing home where my mother was. When she was there, I noticed so many people who had no visitors. I took time to talk to them and do little errands for them. Since my mother passed away, I have not gone back–partially because it reminds me of the loss of my mother. I need to remember that the residents there still need “a friend” and make the time to be that friend for them.
WoW!!! Ok I did it!!! I started creating!!!
Day 2 – I would like to buy a soldier lunch w/out him knowing who purchased it.
Day 2
Today, I will be a little selfish with my Bucket List item since this is something I would really love to do before I die. I would love to take my family on an Alaskian cruise…
My understanding of a bucket list is things we would like to do before we die… this is one of them.. acts of kindness I do naturally and don’t think twice before lending a helping hand. What I listed as my #1 yesterday, is something I wish the lord would give me, and that is the wisdom of a sudden brainstorm of knowledge to help those who suffer with such a debilitating disease. He has already given me the strength.
Hi Becca,
I’ve been so inspired I’ve made two cards yesterday and working on three more today…
My second buckelist item is to take my husband to Alaska. He has been such a wonderul provider, husband and father to our family that i want to do something very special for him.
Thanks again for the opportunity!
all the best
Ginny
my second is to be brave enough to fly
Day 2 – I want to be pulished in some scrapbooking magazine this year. And to blog more often.
Congratulations on your blog anniversary!! I’ve heard about the bucket list through a movie and I thought that it was a good idea. I think one of my items in my bucket list is: adopting a girl/boy by giving a monthly allowance, I’ve seen that some Christian institutions do this but I haven’t had the chance to subscribe to one.
By the way I linked the candy on my sidebar.
Hugs
Hazel
Becca,
My second thing on my list would be to send to people more of the projects I make. I get so busy making I do not always think to send or I find it hard to part with what I have made. Thanks again for the chance to win.
Blessings to you!
PS I have not figured out yet how to link you onto my sidebar of my new blog LOL
The first thing on my Bucket List is to Help my friend be more positive in life life is too shot for so much negitiveness live, love, laugh and do scrapbooking.
Congrats on two years!
One of the things on my Bucket List is to compile all of my mom’s recipes into a cookbook. She was a wonderful cook and it would be great to be able to give her recipes to all of her grandchildren.
I want to do more work on our family tree and make sure that everyone to whom it matters has a copy and the background details of it. Many young people are not interested in genealogy, and those of us “of a certain age” who are need to get everything in order so the information isn’t lost forever.
first things first ….thanks so much for shering your talent and time with us.
One of the things in my bucket list is learning how to skate(without breaking a bone)….I am kind of old for that I know … but I am not planning to be a figure skater though, just to be able to stay upright long enough to “glide” on the ice for few meters … that would be good enough.
congratulations on your 2nd year of blogging
Day 2 – I want to on a hot air balloon ride!
First off, congrats on your 2 years! Love your site, I try to check it everyday I’m at the computer.
One of the things I’d like to do is get a college education, or at least and associates degree.
Mmmmmm, this made me think and I after my comment yesterday I started a bucket list. In no particular order the next thing I’m going to add is to go on safari and – unless there’s any last minute emergencies – I shall be doing that one next week. :0)
would love to travel the old Rt. 1 from south to north! someday…….
2 years of blogging!!!!! :)))) and many more!!!!:)))
Last year my son gave me a wonderful gift. We went together to Europe. and… one of my wishes at the bucket list would be to go again with him and visit the little towns in France as well as Bruges in Belgium. He lives very far from me and I would love to spend some time with him again!!!
Have a great week Becca
Hugs
Regina
I would like to visit Scotland, home of my maternal ancestors.
learn to ski
Thanks to you for your creativity!…and inspiration!
For me: create a 2’x3′ multi-media piece of art
For charity: Sell that artwork at a silent auction
Well, here we are at day two of your contest…Blog Candy…
My second thing on my list would be…
I would love to know enough about the computer to be able to create neat things without worrying whether I’m going to break it!!!
Thanks.
Congratulations Becca on your 2nd year blog anniversary!!!
your creations are trully inspiring
One of the things in my list would be having dancing lessons……
I would love to learn to dance!
Thanks
Marcia
Congrats Becca, love checking in to see what you create, for my bucket list i think I would like to sponsor a child to help them with education and day to day living expenses.
Congratulations on your blogaversary! I love seeing your creations each day. I’d like to go to New York City.
Day 2 – I have been surfing for cards today and now my wish would be to be able to “create” some beautiful cards (like you make) and not just “case” them. I’ve got some work to do!
wow, such a great response. you’ll be reading for days. my day two bucket item is to visit the grand canyon. nature has such awsome things to show us.
I’d love to go to Paris!
Bucket list: I want to volunteer my time at a local hospital.
I love reading all these wonderful ideas- so inspiring!!
For my day two dream, I’d like to get back to Austin Texas. Anyone who knows me know I feel terribly misplaced where I am now. This is always the first on any of my lists, but I thought I’d be more realistic and make it numero dos.
Don’t laugh, but I may be writing this everyday from here on-lol!
Would love to take a trip to Hawaii. I have never been there!
DeniseB
Congrats on all that you have done for you and everyone. It is truely a joy to read your blog. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
Bucket list: To meet relatives that are unknown to me in Sweden.
I want to take my Dad to the Grand Canyon
Hello again,
I aim to purchase a Bigshot or Wizard. I think that’s one reason your cards are so beautiful, besides your God-given talent. But that’s a selfish wish. I would like to de-clutter my 86 yr.old mother’s house to make things easier for her.
Wow, this is a tough assignment! Although taking trips and doing fun things would normally creep into the bucket list equation, for me it is all about family and people we love – appreciate them more, and hope they have learned to do the same. Thanks again for a chance to win, and for already being a winner by having access to your amazing blog.
Becca,
Hummm day 2…
Suprise someone lonely in a nursing home
and spend the day with them.
~~Diane~~
hope to see my neice and nephew graduate from high school, maybe college. thanks for the amazing blog and the blog candy.
First item, take my Granddaughter to Disneyland. Not so easy from Canada in that she has ‘inherited’ her parent’s fear of flying. Guess it will be a roadtrip. Thank you for sharing your beautiful creations and your talent.
Firstly Becca congratulations on your second anniversary and thanks for the chance of winning blog candy. On my bucket list is something I’ve wanted to do for an awfully long time and that is ride on the Canadian Pacific railway from coast to coast.
Marion UK
Hi day 2 on my bucket list would be to go to Hawaii again and see everything we missed the first time
Becca, My computer has been down and when I saw your Blog and your giveaway, I thougt , OH Sweet Jesus, please don’t let me be too late to enter. Your creations are always an inspiration to me. I want to go up in a Hot air balloon. I just think it would be a swell way of seeing God’s handiwork, especially in Colorado. Like so many others, it’s easy for me to worship God when outside seeing His handiwork. How can anyone question is there a God, when all you have to do is look around and see Him in His creation.
Congrats on your anniversary….
On of the things on my bucket list is to swim with the dolphins.
Marv
Congratulations again, Becca, on an amazing 2 years of blogging. Lucky us!
Second on my bucket list is to spend quality time with my husband just enjoying each other’s company. He is a wonderful man and deserves the best. (We’ve been married 31 years and are true life buddies.)
I would like to do things for others,but be anonymous about it. One day I was in the line at a fast food place. I got to the window to pay and was told that my food had been paid for by the person in the car in front of me! That was when i relized I had a lot to pay forward. I would also like to do some traveling with my husband.
Here goes again. I would like to be more organized. And ,I might add, my DH would like it also.
Hi again Becca
You know, not only are your creations amazing, but above me, you have inspired 600 responses, and so many of them are really beautiful selfless desires! Thank you for inviting this storming of the internet with uplifting, positive and charitable wishes. It is awesome!
My second wish is to make more Christian greetings cards and to remember to send them!
Love Anne (UK)
You are an inspiration to us all. Blessings Becca.
To live the rest of my life without making any judgements on anyone.
hugs,
Chick
Day 2 – Finish purging my stuff and organize my home.
I just love following your blog and seeing all the creative ways you use the spellbinders templates. It inspired me so much that last year I went and ordered the wizard and some of the nestabilities. Anyway one of the things on my bucket list is to be able to make full size bed quilts for both of my daughters and yhier husbands, and then one for each of my grandchildren.
#2 on my bucket list would be to spend an entire week with you in your studio. Your creations are awesome and I feel I could learn a lot from you!
Anonymously give monetary support to a family in need. Like buy groceries for them, leave clothing etc.
I want to take a meal to my elderly neighbors since the wife has fallen and broken her shoulder bone and had to have surgery.
hello again!! For day 2 another item from my bucket list is an African Photo Safari! My husband won’t go with me but my 25 yr old nephew and I are planning on going. Me with my DSLR and he with video camera. We were going to plan for next yr but decided to wait another yr or two because of the cost – more time to save! :-)
No. 2 – Try and motivate others around me to change their lives for the better too, not just for themselves, but for helping others.
I want to be able to add at least 1 more person to my regular mailing list for handmade cards this year, someone who is sick or just alone and needs something to brighten their day.
Thanks for your e-mail. As I had mentioned, I would like to be a blessing to as many people as possible. God gave us the opportunity to help our 97-year-old neighbor who lost her husband right after Christmas. They have no children or family in the area. We take her grocery shopping, help her pay her bills, etc. and check on her every day. I really love your cards and look forward to checking your blog every day. Thanks.
Hi Becca, Never a day goes by that I don’t visit your blog to get great inspiration. My next thing on the “bucket list” is to lose a few pounds!
I would like to provide a portion or all of the tuition to a private Christian school for a family with two kids
I would like to see the Grand Canyon.
Day 2,
Becca, #2 on list is that God will continue to heal your husband and that he will continue to work in your life to do what you love best. By the evidence of your talent, you are doing what he has given you.
Thank you for your inspiration and motivation. Sometimes we stray and say that we are going to make cards, gifts, etc. for family, friends, co-workers & neighbors. I have elderly neighbors nearby and I plan on keeping in touch with them more by calling & sending a homemade card to let them know that I’m thinking of them.
Congratulations on your 2 yrs. I wish I had found your blog before now, only within the last 2 months. Thanks again.
#2 To travel more in the country of my birth – Australia – but no longer the country in which I live.
Day 2…..I would love to take an Alaskan cruise with my mom.
Day 2:
I would love to own a farm and move down South. Two things there are in the South that there isn’t here in my area in the North: God and Stamps. Not one stamping store for hours and not many God fearing people.
I want to move where hugs are abundant, simple smiles and greetings are the norm, and people actually make eye contact!
Bethshaya
To lay down in tall grass on a sunny warm day, and, not feel guilty about it. And, to have my widowed neighbor over for a summer dinner on the deck. Way overdue…… Thanks for all your hard work and inspiration!
Something on my bucket list, hmmm……. I think one of the things I want to do is catch lightning bugs in mason jars this summer with my grandchildren!
Congratulations on your 2nd year. I’ve enjoyed this journey with you from the beginning and marvel at your creativity and God given talent. I grew up with lessons from my parents to reach out every day to someone who has a need for help…whether it was food, money, temporary housing, clothing or just a helping hand. It’s fodder for the soul and mind.
What I pulled out from my bucket list is………to see and touch snow. It looks like cotton dropping from the heavens. Some day.
Read the entire Bible through! Have a great day!
Day 2 – go on a cruise through the Panama Canal
This is so much fun!! I would love to be able to spend my time doing volunteer work to encourage others. Unfortunately I am not independently wealthy so must work. My prayer is that at least I am an encouragement to my coworkers.
Day 2 organizing and purging my Craft room.
Idea #2 How about donating something to a worthwhile project and send it anonomous.
Congrats on your anniversary! Thanks for sharing your awesome projects with us. Another item on my bucket list is to finish my college degree in early childhood education. I have two children in college now, so that will have to wait a while longer!
Thanks for a chance to win!
Jenny L.
I would love to learn how to play the piano!
Once again Congratulations on your 2nd anniversary!
My second wish on my Bucket List is to help children and people realise the imortance in life of manners.
These days it seems like there is less and less manners and many parent find their time stretched to the limit and don’t have the time or the energy to teach their children the importance of the little things like please, thank you and respect for their elders or other people in general. These are little things but oh what a difference it can make in their lives and those around them
Congrats on 2nd year…….visit with old friends
Patty
Thanks for sharing. My inspiration came from a gift my grandson received in the Intensive Care Unit. It was a blanket that he has cherished ever since. So I started making some for the Linus Project which gives blankets to kids in the hospital. Love your work!
Day 2 with the bucket list. My other wish is to visit every wonder of the world. Again, not being able to fly is a problem but it’s always been on my list so why take it off.
Happy 2nd Blogging Anniversary. I am so happy that I found your blog. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
I would love to see the Northern Lights in person
Day 2 for me Becca.
Also on my bucket list is to see my Granddaughter more often,, or live in the same city at least. They are in Germany for 2.5 more years.
Thanks again for this opportunity
Rita
Day Two – and I’m am grateful for all the inspirations you have gifted to us, Becca. Another ‘bucket list’ item is to build a home in the same town that both of our daughters live in. Our family is very important to us and our grandchildren need to have us closer.
Becca,
Day two of the bucket list. Another wish on my buckey list is to learn to play a harp. That one has been on my list for many years.
Day 2 Another thing that I want to do this year is to send more cards to Operation Write Home than I did last year.
R/
Day 2 – Get serious about losing the pregnancy weight that hung around – especially since my youngest is a freshman in college this year! (No, I never procrastinate – why do you ask?)
Thanks for the chance to win this gorgeous assortment of goodies. One of the things on my “bucket list” is to learn how to play the guitar.
Hugs Jeanette
The item on my bucket list for day #2 is to learn how to letter. This would include lots of practice! I have always wanted to do beautiful lettering and am very thankful that there are rubber stamps to do it for me, but I would like to be able to do it myself! Thanks for your project which is really helping me to focus. And thanks for the chance to win the lovely “candy” too! Jean
Love your blog — can’t believe I didn’t see this yesterday! I don’t have a bucket list — a bit depressing to think about with the economy and unemployment killing us right now. So, guess that’s my first Bucket List item: find a job — THE “job of my dreams…”
I am new to your site. Was recommended by local stamping store. What beautiful and inspiring creations! Thank you. One thing on my bucket list would be to visit my sister in Colorado.
My husband and I have been talking about a trip to the Caribbean for forever…that is definitely on my list.
charmaine
Day 2,
I would like to do something special for a soldiers family in my community. Maybe send their spouse flowers or candy for Valentines, but keep it anonymous.
My second bucket list desire is to volunteer at the local elementary school – I used to do this when my kids were in elementary school, but they have been out for a long time now, and I would like to go back to their old school and give of my time.
be a religiously posting blogger not like my sporatic posts now
Also on my bucket list is to drive cross-country with my husband from our home in Missouri to California…visiting points of interest on the way. And just stopping to see things on the way that look interesting!
Day 2, I don’t have a list written down but the 2nd thing I would like to do is get my house organized so I have more time.
Buy a new home for my sister and her family.
Day 2 Bucket List item — volunteer with The Smile Train. It’s a fantastic organization that does cleft lip repair work for little children around the world. 100% of the monetary donations to this organization are used towards the treatment and care of these children. I donate to The Smile Train regularly… and would love to work with them one day after I retire.
There’s another organization that I would also love to work with… but that’s for tomorrow’s bucket list item :-)
Another thing on my bucket list is for my husband and I to take ballroom dance lessons. I think that would be really fun.
I make cards for all my aunts every month. Recently I called my sister and asked if there was anyone in here church that she felt like they would enjoy rec’ing a card. She gave me the name of a lady who has been in and out of the hospital so I added her to my list and she is most happy to rec cards every month.
This was such a great idea Becca! I have been reading all the responses and they are wonderful. I work at a bank and see people struggling from paycheck to paycheck. I would love to be able to put extra money in their accounts without them knowing where it came from.
Karen M.
Here we are on the second day – – wow!! Everyone loves you, Becca. My second wish on my bucket list would be to see my grandchildren get married and have children so I could be a Greatgrandma!! How fun would that be to have little ones around again!! Thanks again, Becca.
I’m not sure what I would put on a bucket list. I’ll have to think about it.
Day 2:
Next on my list would be standing in times square. I don’t know why but I just would.
stamp on…
Day 2 – Item 2 on my Bucket List
I really want to lose weight. The older I’m getting, the more it hurts. The more it hurts, the less move and the cycle continues. So, I’d like to lose 10 lbs. at a time for as long as I can do that!
It’s funny, my Bucket List is for me – the altruistic things are natural things that DH and I have done our entire lives together. We just do for others as that is the way we believe things should be. Gibran said, “It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.” I read that in the 60s and have never forgotten its importance.
I love that you have had so many replies, Becca. What wonderful gals and such a tribute to you and your idea.
My number one wish is to share Christ boldly with others. Thank you for the chance to win! Absolutely love your creations
I want to learn how to crochet flowers to put on my cards and scrapbook pages. Thanks again for the chance to win.
congratulations on your blogiversary! what a great idea to share about our “bucket list”. High on my list is to be able to take my dad back to China and his hometown before he becomes too old to travel. He hasn’t been back since he immigrated to the US almost 50 years ago. It’s quite an expensive trip and it doesn’t seem like it will ever happen, but I just keep on putting away my pennies in the hopes that I will be able to do that one day.
My hubby and I just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. We have had just a wonderful life together. I think we would put in our bucket some other charities to volunteer our time. Also to work more with the American Cancer Society. There are so many people that need our assistance in the fight against breast cancer.
Thank you for the chance to your wonderful blog candy. Your cards and projects are just beautiful!
Hi Becca, I want to go to Quilt Canada with my best friend Elaine and take my mom with us, she doesn’t quilt but her best friend lives in Calgary so she could have a nice visit with her best friend and I can spend time with mine. Love this idea.
2 YEARS! CONGRATS!
one thing in my bucket list would be take all my girls to a tropical location for atleast 2 weeks and for missions outreach and than R&R.
I would also like to volunteer at an animal shelter. Thanks again Becca!
Day 2 Bucket List – Go Paragliding off a mountain, tandem with an experienced person : )

Take a trip to Scotland and play the bagpipes.
Become a member of a design team!
Happy Monday, Becca!
Another item for my bucket list is to start recylcing more things at home to be more eco-friendly.
Well, I just did one of my bucket item, purchasing a Red purse.
So another much bigger one is a major road trip of the western US, to see the National Parks..
I would like to finally find the inner, skinnier me. ~C8>
Day 2….. You know, when you are a crafter, and you sew and quilt, make cards, paint and draw, etc. etc., you accumulate a lot of stuff. I want to better organized everything in my home this year. I think that would make life more simple. Thank you for a chance to win that fun candy you’ve so generously offered. Blessings Becca! Patty W.
On my bucket list……be the weight I was meant to be.
Thanks for the chance.
I love your talent and thank you so much for the inspiration. I would love to take all of my 5 grandchildren on a trip to Disneyland or world.
I think my next thing to do before i die would be to go on a world cruise, getting to glance at the different cultures and peoples lives around the world…. am I nosey?
Looks like you have reading material for a week! I would like to add to my bucket list to share more time with my husband.
Jan Castle
Day 2, but its your Day 3!!!!!
Would like a loving family, things went terrible when my mum died.
Oh god, now the tears have started again.
Margaret
UK
WOW!!!
Congrats on your blogaversary!
Thanks for the chance to win this awesome giveaway.
My Bucket list –
1. I would like, that my mum again was healthy, that to it did not do again operation (dream, but not a reality….)
2. I would like to show to it (my mum) Paris is its dream…
Thanks…
I would like to actually send three cards a week. I do more thinking about it than actually making or sending cards.
Kayak in the sea caves on the south shore of Lake Superior! sUSAn
i would love to be able to take in animals that no one wants or cares about.
#2 on my bucket list is to do more for my elderly neighbor who is widowed such as share more dinners with him or just visit.What a great idea this is .Thanks for the inspiration!
on my “bucket list”, I want to see my teenage son return to living a life for Christ. While I know this is something I cannot make him do, I will encourage him and try to guide his steps. For this I pray daily. Thank you for your inspiriing cards that lift me up Becca.
Becca because of you I have started creating scripture cards, I have always been a crafter but didn’t like card making. I am hooked, I have purchased at least 20 spellbinders and love making cards, I actually just finished 90 note cards for the group leaders in our Sunday School and am working on cards for my Bible study group. My next bucket list iitem is to help build a house for a homeless person.
Day three- Donate at least 1000 cards to OWH.
Go back to school…again! :o)
#Bucket list–renew our vows in Ireland along the Shannon River.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention–something you thing about but never put to paper.
Hi again Becca,
Another entry on my brand-new-and-still-being-formed bucket list is to visit Scotland and try to find if there are any relations still living where my Grandfather grew up in the late 1880s and 90s! I never met my grandad, so I would love to meet some family members and discover the land that my forefathers came from.
God bless,
Anne.
Well Becca I am back again with another bucket list item….I would love to be able to share Jesus Christ with as many people as I can!
Another bucket list item – to have a home in the country and a space to have retreats (in paper crafting of course).
#3 on my bucket/dream list.
I would like to visit some of the historic sites here in Texas; like the Alamo,etc. Maybe someday
Colleen
#3 – I would like to learn to speak another language.
I would love to talke my family to see the Grand Canyon. There are so many parts of our wonderful country that we’d like to see.
America The Beautiful …………. so true !
Day 3 and another from my newly composed Bucket List. It’s still nowhere near 100 but managed just over 20 so far. Today it’s to see all my grandchildren grown, happy and settled in their adult life. Not sure it’ll happen in my lifetime but to see any of them reach that stage will be good.
Day #3
I want to thank you Becca for all the beautiful artwork you share. It is so inspiring! As I get older, I am trying to simplify, so I have no grand “Bucket List” In the last four years I have lost many “wants” (large house, new car, fat wallet) & “needs” (my mother, my job, my small house!) so today and everyday, I want to thank the Lord once a day (hopefully more!) for the wisdom He has given me to discern the difference. Some never realize how much we can do without-He always provides my “need” and enough for me to get some “wants!”
I want to volunteer at a food bank – my church has 2 different ones so it’s not very far to go to do it – Just need to get more organized & do it!
And, as most of the replies have stated – I love your blog visit it every day to marvel at your beautiful cards and creations! Thank you!
Learn finances.
my husband takes care of most of our investments et al.
i know i need to learn all i can, because none of us are guaranteed a tomorrow.
so, to learn as much as i can from my husband.
thank you Becca.
I would love to learn how to tole paint. This has been harder to come up with than I thought it would be and this is only day three.
Day 3- The third thing on my bucket list is to go on a nice holiday with my husband and best friend. Hugs, Nellie.
My third bucket list entry would be to get my entire family living in the same geographic area – we’re spread out all over the country and don’t get to see each other very often.
Thanks for the inspiration and opportunity to win blog candy!
Teri
Go back to school…again! :o)
I forgot to say Congratulations yesterday – Congratulations on your 2 years in the Land of Blog! Second on my list would be to do something nice & unexpected for my husband, because he just deserves it! I’m very lucky, all in all.
#3 for me I would like to go to another country
to help with missed place children and help them find new
homes.
i would love to learn how to make pottery on a pottery wheel.
My third bucket post: (wow, this is getting harder)
Visit Scotland with my family. Both my dh and I have Scottish roots (Lindsay and McDonald.)
#2 for me.
Congratulations on your blog anniversary. I clearly remember the day I found your blog. It was bookmarked straight away. It has been so much fun to share in your creative journey.
The next on my bucket list:
Take my husband and son (and any other children God might bless us with) to Greece. My husband has always, always wanted to go. Since he has gotten me through the so many tough problems, I want to see him smile when I surprise him with a trip. Even if we are 90 by the time I save up!
Congrats on your blog, I love your cards and you have taught me so much about bow tying! I would love to see Niagra Falls. It is on my bucket list. Thanks so much.
Good morning…day three. Let’s see what is my third thing on my list!!
3. I want to be able to smile every day. A smile goes along way with bringing up the spirits of those around me and that is important to me.
Thanks…
Again Becca congrats on your anniversary. You have given all of us such inspiration over these few years. Your blog is one of my favorites. Another item on my bucket list is to visit New England. I love early american primitives and visiting this area would be such a treat…..doing it in the fall would be heaven! Sigh!
Mary
How about take a safari in Africa? That would be way cool!
A third thing on my bucket list is to learn to speak Spanish.
Another bucket list item would be to see my son graduate, get married, and have a family of his own. He’s only four now so I have MANY years to wait for that. Hopefully that means I will have the determination to live that long.
I will work with a friend to help her complete a project for a new grandchild. That will be fun and will help us get closer in our friendship.
The second thing on my bucket list is to take my sisters on a cruise. A girls only thing. Maybe I should rethink that – LOL! Nah – it would be fun!
Day 3 – Congratulations on 2 years! I would like to continue keeping my New Year’s resolution to continue sending cards for our service man & women serving overseas.
Another “bucket list” item, is to be able to pay for my husband (who is a pastor…just doesn’t have a church right now!) to be able to go to the Holy Land. My dad (who is in glory, but was also a Pastor) always wanted to make that trip with my husband. They were best friends. My husband would still like to walk where Jesus walked.
Day 3 – To be able to scream WE’RE DEBT FREE on the Dave Ramsey Radio Show!
(We are currently on week three in the FPU online class!)
Another thing my husband and I want to do is to be able to help our pastor or a missionary friend get out of debt.
My #2-Scrapbook some of my favorite memories of time with family.
I want to see the town where my grandmother was born on Sicily.
Another thing in my bucket list is to having my own home with a huge patio with a room prepared with all my scrapbook stuff.
Becca,
Congratulations once again……may each day be filled with sunshine for you.
On my bucket list is helping someone who is having trouble…..I hope I have been doing that so that life is more bareable for them…..Jean
I’d like to play the piano at a senior’s center.
Get organized! (so I’ll have a place to put the blog candy when I win it !)
I thought of something – I would love to learn to be a makeup artist. I love cosmetics, and the older I get, the more I am interested in learning more! Thanks again for your Amazing Blog, Becca!
My Day 2 Bucket List item is to see my 28 yr. old son happily married and some grandchildren!!!!
Day 3 Bucket List: Finish my granddaughter’s scrapbooks as I am so far behind in trying to keep up.
I have so many papers all over the place that need to be gone through. They need to be filed, thrown away, given to the right person , whatever, but I hate paper work. My wish is to some day get all of the clutter cleaned up and put in the right place. I think this would be a miracle.
Bucket lists are amazing things! So many thoughts of what I would like to cross off my list run thru me.
I think the next item on my bucket list would be to
visit with the elderly aunts on my hubby side of the family as they all live so far away to visit regularily.
It would bring so many happy smiles to not only our face but to his aunts who are very dear to us.
Learning to really listen to those around me before speaking. Listening not just with my ears but listening to what is really being said & how it is said.
Next on my bucket list is to try geocaching. It sounds like fun.
I would love to start working only part time so I could have time to share my love of stamping with my seven beautiful granddaughters. I would also share with my only grandson if he was interested.
Day 3 – ride in a hot-air balloon (hope to do that one this summer).
Well, another on my bucket list is to be able to provide cards to our local healthcare center for as long as possible. Simple thing really, but it brings such joy to some of those residents who don’t get mail or have family visit. They even love the ones I know aren’t made well! Such encouragement to me! I hope to always have the funds and supplies to do this! I did it several times this year through the winning of blog candies supplies!
Re-read all the Harry Potter books…I know…sounds silly…but I teally enjoyed them and would like to re-read them one after the other…see all the things I missed as I forgot things waiting for the next book to come out :)
charmaine
Day three bucket list: Visit Scotland and Ireland…where my ancestors came from.
THe next thing on my list is learning how to crochet. That might be nerdy, but it’s true!
My third thing on my list would a trip to the Greek Islands! Sun fun and relaxing. Thanks again Becca for a chance to win candy.
HI Becca! Ok, my next item on the list is to write a letter to each of my children, sharing with them my dreams and desires for their life.
I love your things again and my bucket list is so full but mainly to have my husband cancer free and take a fun trip together.
I would like to take my nieces to a craft class/stamp camp.
Thanks for the third entry.
Day 3……
Inspiration +++ Everymorning, even if I am very rushed, I click to see what you have created!!You are so blessed with talent and more.
I hope to make some cards and distribute them generically to people who are forgotten in nursing homes so they will feel wanted.
#3 on my list is to visit all 50 states in the US. I want to see Mr Rushmore, Yosemite, the grand cannon – out country has such beautiful landmarks I have never seen. I live in Michigan and rarely leave the midwest. This is so much fun Becca, I don’t know how you have time to keep track of all these comments.
Hi Becca,
My second entry – Another thing on my list would be to begin a ministry for the Lord that includes my crafting.
I’m hoping I have internet access tomorrow and Thursday due to the snowstorm coming (AGAIN!).
Will you be sharing some of your bucket list with us??? :-)
Next on my list Becca is to take a cruise to Alaska. Have always heard that it is beautiful and think that the “art” that comes from God is the best! Keep up your wonderful work–love your blog.
the third on my list is to learn to drive :)
Another item on my list is to have a cabin on a lake or river. I love your ideas – thanks for sharing!
i would like to write journal about my life for my family members.
Next on my wish list is to move back to Georgia where I’m from, to be close to my family. However, since we’ve taken on the responsibility for our neighbor and the housing market is not very good, it may be a long while before this wish can come true. Thanks for sharing all your beautiful cards. I’m using more ribbon and bows on my cards now!
I wish I would found you two years ago I enjoyed very thing you show me so far with your cards. Thanks for share some great cards and ways to do things. So for what I want to do have my work (cards) published.
Day 3 – Take a Copic certification class. I don’t ask for much!!
Your blog is such a blessing!! I would love to follow in your footsteps
and learn to upload photos and start a blog that I could use to share
God’s love through paper crafting.
#3 on my Bucket list. Would really like to be able help nieces & nephews with college tuition.
Still love everything on your blog, Becca.
I used to follow a plan to read through the bible every year. I want to regain that discipline.
A third thing on the bucket list is to have a baby! I’d love to have twins!
Here’s the next thing on my Bucket List; “Make more time for my Husband”, just the two of us. He is so understanding about the time I spend taking care of my folks.
Another bucket list wish would be to visit my homeland (Japan). Just think of all the fun papers, embellishments, etc., I could bring back for my crafting fun. I would also like to contribute some supplies to the local shelter to brighten their days a little bit.
Pay for an adoption for a childless couple that could not afford the expenses that go along with adoption. To bring such happiness into ones life would be awksome.
Thank you Becca for all the wonderfull things you share with us…my third thing on my bucket list is to be able to help someone in needs.
volunteer at a women’s shelter. I’ve helped a bit before, but indirectly. I’d love to do more, and be more involved.
Hi Becca! My 3rd bucket list desire is to see the Great Wall of China – and not just from outer space! :-) What an awesome wonder to see.
I would like to sponsor a family and make sure they have gifts for their kids on their special birthdays… i did this before and it gave me a great feeling to know that a child didn’t “go without” and was remembered on his or her Birthday.
Clean and organize my stamproom so that I can walk through it. That’s a big task, but is on my bucket list. I would loved to be organized so I could locate my stuff when I want to use it, instead of having to hunt for it.
DeniseB
I would love to find family in England and go visit. Some in Devonshire, some in Essex.
Hmm, next on my list – to travel someplace. NY city, australia, Las Vega – just to say I’ve been there.
I know this is dangerous and not at all practical but I’d love to hug a tiger!
Day 3: Would love to go to Australia.
Congratulations on your anniversary!! Hope you have many more years of sharing your wonderful talent! Another item on my bucket list: I would love, love, love to attend CHA! I would be completely overwhelmed, but I think it would be awesome! Thanks!
Jenny L.
Wow! A lot of folks commenting! Bucket list number 2 item is to travel with my hubby as soon as I get him well enough. We’ve had an incredible year, but the Lord is good and friends are the blessings he sends us. We’ve always wanted to go to Alaska, so that’s on our agenda for the future.
i’d love to have more time to make cards
minerva
Once again I would like to comment on my list that I would like to accomplish. I would like to learn enough about card making in order to get a group together to make cards to sell to benefit the Children’s Home for the ever ending financial needs.
I admire these homes reaching out to help these troubled kids with whatever their issues.
Thanks again for your inspiration.
I would love to see the Grand Canyon.
Becca,
Day 3…. Now don’t laugh, I’d LOVE to meet you. How great
Would that be. ;-)
Have a wonderful day,
~~Diane~~
Hello! Congrats on the two years!!! Really amazing =) Wishing you lots of inspiration =)
The first thing in my bucket list is “give birth to a healthy girl and raise her smart and self-confident”
Day 3 on the bucket list….I really want to finish the family cookbook that has been in the works for years and years. It is memory of our Mother who taught us girls how to cook! My sister that was working on the cookbook with me passed away in 2008 and I really want to finish the cookbook in her memory as well.
Thank you so much for inspiring us over the last 2 years! You are truely talented!
One of the things on my Bucket List is to crochet hats, mitts, booties, sweaters and blankets for babies in the NICU and donate them to a local hospital. Over the years I have crocheted a whole box full of sets to donate, but I still have to wash them, etc. and take them in. I think this will be my main goal over the next week or so!
Thanks for giving me a nudge:)
Congratulations again! Hmmm, another bucket list. I’d really like to go to Ireland some day.
Day 3
I will be volunteering at a non-profit site. They are raising and training dogs to search out cancer. I am recovering from a broken back so my activities are very limited. I have a Pomeraian who holds my heart in her little pawa. I plan on taking her in the hopes she will socialize with other dogs. Sh is 6 lbs and thinks she is cat.
Sharon L
I’d like to enjoy Switzerland with my husband–the sooner the better.
Hmmmm – Third day. Number 3 on my list is to continue to be able to work my part-time job now during my retirement years which is at a stamping store!! How fun is that???
#2…On my bucket list is also a honeymoon. Never had one, but hope to go somewhere special with my hubby some day. In fact, this year marks our 25th anniversary so maybe this year?
i’ve got a cruise on my bucket list,been waiting for it for almost 30years,, its due this year,,,heheee
Alright, I’m going to go out on a limb of faith here and say that I’ve always wanted to visit Australia in my lifetime. Don’t know how it could ever happen, but it’s always good to dream!
Day 3 finds me wanting to make more time to house-hunt for a ranch with no steps as they (the steps) are getting more difficult to handle.
Becky E.
I want to live on a horse ranch. Thanks for the blog candy!
One thing on by bucket list would be to go to Scotland and see the land of my forefathers and mother’s too.
Tricia
Finish my list of craft projects. Who am I kidding…this will never happen!
Day 2
I would love to take my two young grandchildren to Disneyworld, just to see the delight on their faces! We don’t often see them as we live in another country.
Carol
Becca you have started something here in my household with this bucket list!!! My husband and I talk today about actually making up one for us as a couple! From my own list #three would be to make tons of cards to give to the Animal shelters around here to sell to make money to help all the poor little furrbies who need new homes and medical help. My own dogs are from rescue places and they have given so much love to me,I just want to return the favor.
Blessings to you!
Lana
get married maybe………we’ve been engaged for 21 years or so now (so long I forget exactly how long!)
Wow! so many ideas I could add to my list. Next on my list would be to open my own business. I’ve running my husbands for 15 yrs but would love one of my own with my own interests. Can we say scrapping and stamping store.
I guess I am the dinosaur since this is the first time I have ever posted on a blog.
Grace, I’ve been watching your website for quite a while and I love your stamping and integrating God into so many of your projects!
Top thing on my list is to visit a homebound or nursing home patient. They are often so forgotten by family that they need a new friend.
Thanks for the inspirationand motivation to get this done!!!!
I would like to tour Italy again.
Get my garden weed free ! lol
Day #3~ Inspiring~ I want to attend a worship service in Belfast, Ireland, led by the amazing Worship Leader Robin Mark.
Day 3…..I would like to help more of my friends make cards.
#3 to increase my financial support for a young girl in India.
Congrats again on 2 years. I enjoy seeing all your cards etc.
Another thing on my “bucket List” is to visit Israel. It is a beautiful country.
Two great years and looking forward to many more! Another bucket list entry for me is to drive an 18-Wheeler. I’ve been inside one but would love to drive one for a little while..maybe an hour but that would be with no one else around! :)
Day three–I would love to welcome a grandbaby into this world.
I would like to take a cruise with my husband someday
put a pond..natural habitat…in the back yard!
Sharon Bader
Day 3 – Lead the members of my family to Jesus.
I would love to learn how to dance!
This is so much fun!
Woohoo!! I made it to day 3 and remembered to comment. Another thing on my bucket list is to go to Hawaii which I am doing in May. As I look at the large snow drifts out my window, I can hardly wait!!
#3. I’d LOVE to write a Christian based novel. I’ve started a few, but never finished. Maybe I should just go for it! Also, I have a great concept for a young teen’s book, so would love to do that also.
Day 3 of the bucket list. Buy a RV and travel across North America every Summer in Canada and top of USA and in the winter – across the Southern states.
I’d like to go to Europe someday and see the sights!!
I have always wanted to drive a limo. Crazy I know but it sounds fun.
I would like to learn ballroom dancing. They always look so elegant and graceful.
Well this is sort of on the list and sort of in progress. I always wanted to learn more about herbs and edible plants and I have just begun that journey. Thank you for all the work you put into this blog.
I would like to re-learn the piano. Played when I was young but it has been many years since I’ve played. Thanks again Becca!
Another thing on my Bucket List would be to volunteer in the NICU or the hospital nursery. How can you not love to be around babies?!!
Day 3:
I would love to have another child. Children are such a blessing and I was blessed with a wonderful son, who happens to have autism. He has been the pride and joy of my life. The things God has done in his life have been miraclous.
I would love to go to Tuscany.
I would like to foster a child.
I want to volunteer at my Grandaughter’s school when we return home in March.
Be able to give more time and money to the therapeutic riding club in our community.
To travel to South America.
Apprendre à jouer de la guitare. J’en ai acheté une il y a trois ans et je ne m’en suis jamais servie.
What a fun idea! So many great entries….
I would like to build my girlfriend network and develop some close friendships.
Now that my kids are grown and aren’t needing so much of my time, I have time to spare and would like to find some more friends to have fun with.
I would love to have the family/friends over more often. Last year, we had 2 cook-outs with my cousins and it was soooooo much fun to see all of them running and playing and chasing the next generation!
Another “Bucket List” dream of mine is when I am a qualified practising Midwife I would like to open a Women’s Wellness Clinic offering a range of services. It would include an area and staff designated to childcare so that when a client comes in, she doesn’t have to worry about the kids and can just focus on HER and her wellbeing. There would be classes available on nutrition, exercise, self exam, etc and hopefully (I said it was a dream) I would be able to get enough funding to make it AFFORDABLE for every woman. There might be something like that over in the USA but there doesn’t seem to be anything like that here in NZ.
I think the next thing on my bucket list would be to visit New York.
I want to travel to Australia
Day 3
By third Bucket List item would be riding in a Hot Air Balloon…
I just found your website and am in love with your beautiful cards. I will be back often to learn from you.
Just about the only thing on my bucket list is to return to NYC at Christmas so I can feel like I am 10 years old again.
I learned a long time ago that there are no promises of tomorrow, so I try to live each day as though there will be no tomorrow.
What a read! So many wonderful suggestions.
My mother always said that she would like to walk on a beach and collect amazing shells. I grew up knowing that was something she really wanted to do and as she didn’t manage it, I would like to do it in her memory.
Thanks again Becca!
I love your site and what a wonderful idea. Since I’ve always thought about it but never done anything about it, attend an automotive repair or engine building class is going in my bucket.
Buck list- I want to declutter my Mom’s house ( 86 yrs young) & try & keep it up this time.
Day 3 “Bucket List” Item – When I retire, I want to spend at least some of my time volunteering at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. My beloved Dad was a cancer patient there for 4 years. The cancer treatment and research is leading edge, the doctors and all the rest of the staff who attended to my Dad were very caring and kind.
Thanks for making me think through my bucket list, Becca…. I have all these thoughts and wishes floating around in my head and I’ve never articulated them like this before.
I would love to go to Paris.
Day 3 Bucket List item: Go to CHA!!!!
pick up rubbish on the way to school with my son
Day three would be to see National Parks in US via Motorhome cross-country trip.
My third item on my bucket list would be get unpacked from moving so my children can be proud to bring their friends.
Becca
Congrads to you on your two years. I have truly enjoyed your site
It is inspiring and I have told many of my friends about you as well. They too enjoy what you share with us. I have seen the movie but yet I didn’t create a bucket list. I will start working on one shortly. But if I had one the one thing I would have put on the list would be to finish a degree I started many years ago. And I promised me that and have been true to myself I will graduate soon. Enjoy the journey!!!
This is an exercise that will benefit all involved even when we don’t win. Setting a goal list is great. My second one follows the second is writing a marriage memoir like in the Notebook movie to reminensce and pass to grandchildren
I would like to learn to play the banjo!
#3 on my list is: I’d like to learn how to swim. I am so deathly afraid of water. Just thinking about putting my head under water takes my breath away.
Karen M.
I would love to see both my boys marry lovely girls.
Get caught up on my scarpbooking.
Hugs,
Johna
Take an anniversary trip with my husband to Hawaii
Another thing on my list is to take a long vacation with all of my family, hubby, son, sister & her family & my dad. Just go somewhere & enjoy each other. Doesn’t have to be extravagant just spend a couple of weeks together.
To give someone in a phonebook $50.00 without them knowing it.
Day 3—for my bucket list…..I want to see the Grand Canyon……
I would like to learn to swim. I have always had a fear of water. I am 65 years old but am very active.
Day 3 “Bucket List” Item – When I retire, I want to get caught up with my research on our family tree. Plus I would like to volunteer to cuddle the babies in the hospital.
Marv
I don’t think I’ve ever given my “wishes and dreams” so much thought. Actually putting them down on paper somehow makes them more real. For my third item for my bucket list, is to take the classes to become a master gardener, to help other people in our area with their garden related questions. I’d like to help at a community garden.
#3…. I want to be caught up on putting a scrapbook together for our family. Approximately 99.9% of our pictures are all on my cellphone, my computer or digital camera. It’s so sad. The scrapbook doesn’t have to be fancy, just something that is more than a bunch of individual picture files on my computer.
I have just gotten home from the hospital and my immediate #1 on my ‘Bucket List’ now is for my Hubby to get well. He had Chemoembolization today for a spot on his liver.
With much faith in the good Lord and keeping positive we are looking toward a good outcome.
I’d like to make a baby book for my niece’s newborn babe! … and I’m ALMOST done with project! Whoo hoo!
When I was at my daughter’s outside Boston, I saw a program where retired persons volunteered at a neonatal facility. Their “job” was to hold and rock the babies to soothe them. I would love to do that! Hold a tiny new life in my arms. Although this is my third day, I think that this would be #1 on my list.
Day 3 I’d like to visit Australia and New Zealand.
R/
Day three – what a positive thing you are doing. I think Stampers are positive people.
Another item on my ‘bucket list’ is to become a successful bread maker. I can make bread, but I think I’m doing just basic things. I want to learn to make sour dough bread and rye bread, and really fantastic pizza crust. I have several bread cookbooks that will be challenging to master, however, I want to become a master bread maker.
Day 3 – No particular reason for this goal: I would like sometime to move back to where the only snow is what is seen in pictures! Don’t like being snowed in.
Congratulations, Becca, on two years of blogging. I’m so glad that I have been a part of it. My daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiacs disease so the latest addition to my Bucket List is to find a way to share my love (and long family tradition) of baking with her. I’m so new to this gluten-free world, but I am determined to transform all of my grandmother’s recipes into treats she can enjoy.
Today I am listing the third thing on my Bucket List. This is something “for me”, but it will make it easier to do the stamping I want to do for others. We have a very small house. Now I am stamping on my computer desk, in front of the monitor. I often am sponging on my lap using the plates for my Cuttle Bug for a table. It is most inefficient. This year, I have to find some small corner of the house to make a real stamping area. Perhaps that way I will be more efficient and can make more cards to share with others.
I’d like to visit Israel.
silly me missed yesterday, another thing on my bucket list is to read a dictionary.
Today I let my kiddo “make a mess” with a science project we wanted to try. I was messy but we had fun. I am normally too type “A” to have done this before.
Oh how fun! Congratulations on the blog milestone – I so enjoy visiting your blog although I don’t always comment. I’d love to take a ride in a hot air balloon, and I’m just waiting for it to get a little warmer and I’m going to look into it :) I loved the bucket list movie and I so agree that someday might never come and then it will be too late!
BECCA!!!
Comment 857 really hit my heart. Her daughter has just been diagnosed with Celiac Disease. I infant daughter was biopsy diagnosed when she was dying at 9 months of age almost 8 years ago. Our whole family currently lives a Gluten free lifestyle and I wanted to encourage this commenter. Can you please forward her my info so hopefully she will contact me. This has been my hearts desire since my daughters diagnosis. (To help other moms with young children with this disease!!!)
SEE A BUCKET LIST ITEM FELL INTO MY LAP!!!
Valerie Martin
My bucket list is really more of a self-improvement list (don’t have the finances right now to even dream of travel, etc.) but just as important is improving my stay-at-home life. So today’s item is to finish the insides of my cards & to get them in the mail in a much more timely fashion — love making them, but they do no one any good if I don’t get them out so others can enjoy them! Mailed out six Valentines today! Step 1!
Hi, the next thing on my list is to do more home baking rather than buying it. Sneaking in things that are healthier would benefit us all. Love this idea, making me think a lot.
Day 3, list item #3 ~ see the Rose Bowl floats at least once in my life. I understand that they are available to see after the Parade for a few days and I have always wanted to go to Pasadena and see them in person.
I love this movie, I remember telling my sister about it and that she had to watch it.
My Bucket List, is seeing my small family reunited-my sister and her husband with her children, my brother and his daughter, my other brother, me and my husband, getting together with our mother, for her.
Two years and going strong. Hope to see many more posts.
Another thing on my bucket list is to inspire at least one person to achieve their goal weight at our Tops Club!
day #3…
ive always wanted to set up some sort of scholarship fund for underprivileged kids.
becca, “kudos to you” for doing this and what absolutely wonderful
blog candy. tfs
blessings to you, i do look forward to all your cards
on my bucket list is a few different things….. I wanted to find some people from heiti that I could give directly to so when I was on a crusie last week I was able to give $100 to a guy who lost 2 sisters and 1 brother, and another guy who his sister arm and leg were broken. it will be a big help to there familys.
I would like to go to all 7 wonders of the world….
bless you each and every day
colleen
Love this!
I would like to be more organized. So I can scrap daily!!
Day 3:
Another thing on my impossible bucket list would be having a huge chef salad. Unfortunately I can’t eat that kind of food. So why not donate the ingredients to the local food pantry instead.
stamp on…
I want to run a full marathon to raise money for a worthy charity.
Day 3 & my wish would be to have a small front yard planted like an English cottage garden with a bench I could have people come that needed quiet time (including myself) to sit & read & think. Thank you for this wonderful idea!
My Day 2: Get healthy — see the inside of a gym and actually enjoy it. Is that even possible??? I need a better Bucket List!
Help out with an orphanage.
Entry #2
hugs
Juli
Volunteer at a soup kitchen for Thanksgiving. I haver heard the fellowship is a heartfelt, valuable experience.
My “Bucket List” includes visiting South Africa someday!
Thanks for the opportunity and congratulations on your blogging milestone.
Bucket List Day #3- I would like to reconnect with lost friends. I have worked some on this but there are several people I would like to find and build back the friendships.
On my looong list of dreams is one biggie: I’d love to visit Australia. As excited as I am when I speak of this country, I am also a bit afraid. Why? Because I truly believe I’d be faced with a very difficult decision: to leave and come back here, or to stay and make some roots of my own. I really believe that would happen. I also believe I’d stay!
That predicament has not been a challenge as yet because I need the travel money first :)
I’d love to be able to encourage at least one person each day.
The second thing on my bucket list would be to learn to play an instrument well. Blessings.
WOW, 2 years of inspiring and unique projects from you.
Congratulations, Becca.
Third on my bucket list is traveling to all 50 U.S. state capitols with my hubby. We are working on it right now.
Day 3….Write children’s books. I’m a retired elementary teacher
Day 3: To be able to take care of dogs belonging to servicemen while they are deported.
This is making me think and reading these comments makes me think about what I want to do even more. I would love to learn how to swim. I love the water but am anxious when I am in over my head.
#3 on my bucket list. get over my insane fear of heights. ~C8>
One thing for my bucket list would be to volunteer to teach at a non-profit organization.
If I were to take time for me I would like to see what it would be like to not have to work, maybe just a sabatical to catch up on all the things I like to do, garden, stamp travel. More time to volunteer as well.
OK. Day Three:
1. see Australia
2. go on a cruise
3. live long enough to see my children’s children … and make cards with them. :D
This is so much fun. It’s like being a kid again and daydreaming. Thanks again for the opportunity to win the goodies. It is very kind of you.
Hugs,
Snoopy :D
Becca
I missed the first two days…but it was fun reading everyone’s dreams. The top of my list (and it may seem trivial to some) but to get the clutter out of my house.
:-)
Retire and travel with my husband.
Day three, I wish that I could speak spanish . Sometimes when I’m out shopping or at the doctors office, I see how hard it is for Spanish people to communicate. Maybe if I could speak spanish I would be able to help break down the communication barrier. Cathy
Care for terminally ill pets – hospice for pets. I have a friend who managed a shelter and she had told me how many older dogs and cats would be turned in because of illness and the owners not being able to afford their care. Ditto for just elderly pets.
Seems like it would correct a small injustice for a loyal pet to spend their last days, years in a peaceful, painfree, loving environment.
am just catching up on my blogs wow you are always so generous would love to win my bucket list includes- buying a caravan to see lots of australia because although we live here we don’t get to see much of it. one thing i can cross off is to start a blog- i’ve just started thanks to the help of rebecca ednie of eclectic endeavours sowill hopefully get it really active soon. congrats on 2 years
Third item on my list…to finish what I start!
Day 3 – Wow, you really having me thinking about this. I would like to relearn Spanish. We live in a large hispanic community and it would be very beneficial.
Day 3….. What a dream it would be to go to Ireland, the land of mine and my husband’s ancestors. I’ve read it’s really beautiful there! I’d love to see the castles and churches for myself and try to find the place where our families came from, and learn more about their stories. Thank you Becca, for a chance to wish and daydream. Also thank you for a chance to win your great blog candy. Oh, I love your gorgeous projects! Thank you for sharing! Blessings! Patty w.
Finish unpacking!
next bucket list item… to travel to New Zealand to meet my partner’s little boy.
Thanks for the chance to win this awesome blog candy. All your creations are so beautiful. Another item on my list – travel up the coast along Oregon and Washington. thanks again for all you share!
# 3 for me> to have my house in good order all at one time! Especially my craft area!
#3 To get better organized in my craft area.
Guess I missed Feb. 9th since it’s already 1:47 a.m. Sorry, but had to check your blog before I go to bed, can’t miss a day. The second wish on my list is to see both of my son’s come to know Jesus Christ. There’s nothing more important to me than to know my kids have a secure eternity in heaven.
One thing I would love to do is to learn a second language, like spanish or Italian.
BECCA BECCA THIS COMMENT IS FOR 2/9/10. COULDN’T FIND THE
AREA TO PUT IT / JMY BUCKIET LIST HAS A RATHER DIFFERENT TYPE
OF IDEA TODAY. WE HAVE A ROOM FOR THE COMPUTER, CRAFTS, BOOKS
YOU NAME IT. MY IDEA IS TO STRAIGHTEN IT SO THAT IT IS A PLEASANT
PLACE TO GO INSTEAD OF CONGESTED ROOM. I AM SURE MY HUSBAND
WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY WITH THAT. I AM A LITTLE LATE BECAUSE
TODAY WAS MY BIRTHDAY AND WE WENT OUT TO DINNER AND THEN SOME FRIENDS CAME OVER. ANOTHER IDEA ON MY BUCKET LIST IS TO
MEET YOU AS A BIRTHDAY GIFT. YOU CANNOT IMAGINE HOW MUCH MY
CARD MAKING HAS CHANGED I STARTED READING YOUR BLOGS. THANK
YOU FOR SHARING ALL YOUR IDEAS WITH US./
CYNTHIA B.
Bucket list: I would like to learn the Italian language.
I guess my second bucket list item would be to go back to school and finish up to get my degree. No one in my family of 9 ever finished. I want to do that for me!
[…] Friday night at Midnight to enter for the blog candy. You can read about the rules and enter HERE. I’m thoroughly enjoying reading your b-list items — I hope you read some of the […]
Hello again,
I am loving all the additions.
My third “B” list item is to drive a school bus! Seems unlikely but one never knows. I think it would be fun, for while!
#3 for me would be to learn to snowshoe..and this is doable and maybe next week when I am off from teaching! sUSAn
Day 4 and one I’ve been trying for for what seems years (that’s because it is – lol!). To get my craft room/studio finally finished. Every time I start to work on it something, like real life, gets in the way. It would be good to have my craft stuff in one place instead of spread all over the house!
You are amazing Becca. I keep a tab for your site constantly open on my browser.
“B” list, I would love to take our disabled son to see all 48 of the US states in the “lower 48”. He tries so hard each day not to let life get him down and he loves history.
Velda
Can’t sleep so I thought I would enter my day 4 bucket list item. I want to be healthy enough to go on a mission trip without worry about my heart.
I would like to teach people who can’t afford to pay for classes how to make cards and boxes. Thank you for giving us a chance in winning amazing blog candy. Congratulations on your 2 year anniversary and on the 500 posts and 1000 pictures. It is amazing! We love your site! Keep it coming. You are soooo talented.
Thanks
Lizette
Congratulations again! Third on my list would be a return to the Bahamas, WITH my husband this time (he didn’t want to go on the one trip I’ve made – that I WON! – so I took my best friend*). Hubby’s a great photographer & really missed out on some fantastic “Kodak moments,” lol!
*Side note: if you ever win a trip, make sure your spouse goes with, because the IRS gets a third of the value of the prize. I was more than happy to take my best friend with me to a “foreign land” – we were both a little dazzled – heck, just getting a passport was exciting!
Congrats on you anniversary. I would like to be able to physically see my daughter in Japan.
I would love to donate a large sum to the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, to help find a cure. CONGRATS!
#2. Another thing on my bucket list would be to help a struggling family out at Christmas time. I would like to provide all the groceries for a big Christmas dinner, as well as a tree with lots of presents under it :)
I would like to attend daily mass for a month straight!
I always wanted to dig for old bones – in Egypt. I love history.
See all my grandchildren grown and healthy and happy with their chosen path in life!
Well…let’s see…the third thing on my bucket list is to have a designer come to my house and fix my scrapbooking room! I know…this wish is a selfish one…but, I am so tired of moving stuff and re-organizing things!
I think my 3rd thing to do is to discover something never seen before. And keep it my secret. How amazing would that be?
my 4th is to move closer to my family as I hardly ever get to see them
Congratulations on TWO years!!!!! Wow!!!! What an accomplishment!!! I must have started coming here when your site was still in it’s infancy. My Bucket List would be a little selfish to win one of your Blog Candy’s – lol and to return to Italy. I lived there for 6 years back in the 70’s and I miss it!
I would like to actually be in shape and stay in shape.
my bucket list today is
maybe one day to be able to have a craft studio, and open it free for anyone willing to learn about card making and scrapbooking, this has been a major big dream for the last 8 years, maybe one day, who knows!
margaret

one of my bucket list items has been to take my boys to see the Grand Canyon – it’s a WOW event that I highly recommend everyone to do!
#3—-Learn more about my ancestry, especially on my fathers side. Thanks
#4 for me, to go to a sick children hospital and read and play games with the children. I believe that children is our greatest asset.
Becca,
Well I’m on # 4 now….that would be to see the sun set over the Grand Canyon.
Hugs,
~~Diane~~
# 3 – you are really making me think – that’s good. I’d love to do something really great for my brother. He’s always been a big support to me.
Bucket List–go on a cruise (anywhere!)
Being alone on an island to be in communication with God and ask him to guide me in decisions to take.
I’ve enjoyed reading these entries! Very inspiring to all of us. On my newly-formed list (!) is my desire to work out on a regular basis so that I will feel GOOD in my later years. I’m actually working hard on this one at the present time!
Another thing on my list is to visit Germany where my grandfather grew up.
This is fun, thinking of what could be and then what should be. I am obese, that is hard to write, and i MUST get myself into a healthy shape. So I don’t actually think this is a bucket list but more of a must do. Thanks for listening, and thanks for your beaufiful art.
I would love to see the Grand Canyon!
#3. Wow! Love today’s card. Beautiful!
The next thing on my bucket list is to help someone else that is going through a rough patch. Maybe help them find God when they have forgotten where to look.
WOW, so enjoyed reading some of the comments here.
Becca, you are such an inspiration to us all. Your card creations are absolutely Stunnig. Have gotten so many wonderful ideas/layouts on my cards just by your creativity. I thank you.
Ok for #3 today;which by all right should had been first on my list; but for #3 ,that is to get my craft room more Organized. I think I would feel more ambitious about working in there if it wasn’t so messy. I just need to learn to pick things up and put away once I’m finished.
Colleen
Next on my list – learn a second language! Very difficult for me since i haven’t even mastered my native language!!
Another item on my bucket list would be to visit Germany to see where my Mom was raised.
Today, here in the Mid Atlantic and right in the bulls eye of the second blizzard in four days, I would say my bullet list wish for today would be to vacation in someplace warm and sunny, perhaps Bermuda, where we went for our honeymoon over 42 years ago!
Mary
My bucket list starts with being able to take my entire family on a dream vacation.
Take a cruise to Alaska…
as my bucket list grows i hope my imagination does too. another item on my bucket list is to sky dive. the only thing wrong with that one is as i get older my fear of heights makes that quite near implausible. jump out of a perfectly good plane … really now.
Day 4…here already!
4. I would like to live in a smaller house with a BIG CRAFT ROOM.
Day #3 To be able to help someone financially that are in desperate need,wheter it be with food,clothing or just pay their monthly bills for one month. If only I’d win a small lottery!!!! I would make someone happy!!!
What a great give-away as usual!!! I just love your site and all the eye candy you create!!!
I could be the only one that entered the contest and not WIN!!! LOL
My dream would be to be able to create gorgeous cards like you do they just amaze me the talent you have been givin
Hugs Jen in Ohio
yeap Im snowed in and bloggin 2 day
I decided last night that running (or maybe just walking!) a marathon would be fun… no really it would. Several years ago – getting over my fear of heights – I walked the annual bridge run/walk in Charleston SC with my sisters & Mom (75 years young!) Every since then I’ve thought about the marathon… now I need to do more than just think about it. And, maybe at the same time work with my parish youth on getting more active.
First of all I would love to thank you for sharing all your beautiful creations. You are a very talented lady!
On my bucket list is something I would love to do for my wonderful husband of forty four years – I would love to be able to get over my fear of flying so one day I could go on a vacation with him to Hawaii. He has always wanted to go there and I’d love to make that happen for us.
Think I may have missed a day. Another item on my b list would be to tour South America.
I know how to snowboard but I have never skied. I would love to learn to ski.
Help a single Mom with childcare. I know how much I would have appreciated that help.
Day 4: Learn cake decorating!
dmc
Day 3 – Go back to Ireland to visit family and cemeteries
I’d like to write a novel, or at least a short story :)
My third thing on my bucket list would be to visit major US landmarks with my family. God bless!
#2…We’ll have to wait for this one…Take my daughter to NYC, probably when she turns 16 (6 years from now)
Day 4 – I want to go to Hawaii with my husband and drive the road to Hana. I went once with my parents when I was in high school and we ran out of time. I just thought Hawaii was the most beautiful place.
Make it back home after work through this blizzard!
My daughter and her family have moved in with me due to unemployment, etc. So, I will work on being more tolerant of family members, think before I speak, soften my tone towards them, show more love and try not to get so upset.
Good Morning!
On my list today-bring my 18 mo granddaughter to lunch. I love to experience life through her eyes, everything a new adventure, every object wondrous, to be touched, investigated, shaken and then on to the next! Children are the hope for the future! Also some comments:
Laura: I learned to swim @ 60, go for it!
Kathy: God is proud of you!
Molly: The Grand Canyon is God’s artwork at its best
Sandra: Take that cross country trip now! I did it with my husband before he died @ 35-wonderful memories!
Sarah: WTG girl, reading blogs @ 90-you rock!
Cynthia: We are only as old as we feel, Happy Birthday!
Kathie: Read a chapter a night in the Bible, it is so interesting you won’t want to stop!
Glenda: Losing a job can sometimes be a blessing in disguise. You shall be in my prayers, but don’t despair!
Maria: I would love to learn how to skate as well!
TJ: What an outstanding idea! This could be a job opportunity!
Becca, your card today is beyond words~~
One of the things on my list would be to overcome my fear of heights.
I have a simple one for day # 3 – Travel to Hawaii and spend some time.
Day 4, Bucket List item #4 ~ visit Poland and see where all my ancestors came from.
#4 on my Bucket list.
I would love to go to Australia & see an Opel mine.
Hi Becca
I want to reconnect with my grandson who was adopted at birth
?2
I want that my mum was happy.
Thanks…
The next entry on my bucket list is to pay off my daughters college loans for her. This is a great exercise in evaluating what’s really is important to us and what’s not, isn’t it?
Thanks again!
Teri
Today is another day of inspiration from your Blog, thank you. Every morning I enjoy searching out your blog whether you have a new blog that day or just going back on some of your older ones, there is always some inspiration to be found!
My third thing on my bucket list is very simple but oh so simple to do in theory..and that is to remember to “WEAR A SMILE” all day every day and be patient with everyone around me.
Thanks again for those wonderful ideas, and words on your blogs.
Well, another thing on my bucket list is to enjoy 2 weeks vacation some place far from home. Never have taken more than a weeks’ vacation and usually that’s visiting family and friends who don’t live near us instead of just off somewhere to enjoy the time – I hope to do that while I’m still able!
Another thing on my bucket list would be to teach others again. I used to “teach” as a 4-H leader to kids, but i think I should share with adults, too. Love your blog!
I would love to have a ‘real’ craft room. Right now I have a guest room/craft room.
Thanks for my fourth entry.
I don’t have an actual bucket list, so I will just go with my internal list of things I would like to do… (basically the same idea, I guess). One of my things I’ve always wanted to do is build a home, which we will get to do this year, so that’s one I will get to check off. ;)
I also want to say that I love your art!
Becca! What a wonderful way to celebrate your two years of blogging! It has been so inspiring reading everyone’s bucket lists. Thank you for posting this on your blog!
Day 4 – To go on a wine tour in Tuscany!
Becca, I love your card. Day 3…I would love to see the Edinburgh Tattoo in Scotland. I grew up in Nova Scotia (New Scotland) and have seen the Tattoo there, but have always wanted to see the one in Edinburgh.
Iwant to scrapbook or put all my pictures in a photo album.
#4 Go on a Cruise to the Mexican Riviera – Cabo San Lucas – where my husband and I Honeymooned about 15 years ago!
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
Good morning Becca. #2 on BL would be to take a vacation with my adult daughter. Haven’t been able to do that for 15 years or more.
I would like to win at least one blog candy give away! That is on the top of my list.
#4 on my list is to make scrapbooks for my kids. My love is making cards, and I have never done any scrapbooking. My boys are in their 20’s so I’d better get to it!
Still working on bucket list. But today I am wanting to practice patients. I know that will mean someone will stand on my last nerve. God will give me grace to patiently & calmly deal with whatever it is.
I’d like to go on a mission trip.
Congratulations and thanks for all your wonderful inspirations each day. On my bucket list I would like to see a cure for cancer.
Happy 2nd Blogaversary Becca. My bucket list would include taking my very hard working hubby on a little holiday in the sun to have a complete break. He is so good and is my carer and my best friend.
Hugs,
Trish x
Oh dear- I have forgotten what day it is but her is the next one! I would like to stay in a B&B in each of the New England states- and of course explore the area!
#4 on my list is to work in a soup kitchen. I am enjoying reading all the comments and it is making me think.
On my bucket list today,, would love my hubby to have a salary again, been retrenched last year june, just missing going to the shops and buy a choccie ,,now only the neccessity. would love to just enjoy life again without all this stress
Something I would like to do is to find an outlet to sell all the cards I’m making. Friends and family buy a few (for a couple of dollars), but I would like to share my cards with others and maybe recoup some of the money I spend in making them. Thanks.
I would love to be able to buy my online friend, from England, a ticket to come to visit me, someday. I think she would enjoy that.
I’d like to see a baseball game in every major league park. I was doing fairly well on the list, but several teams have opened new parks in the last couple of years, so now I have additions to the list.
Great blog candy, thanks for celebrating with us!
Didn’t know I was to come post to the same post everyday. Sorry.
Another thing on my bucket list is to play the piano in an orchestra. That’s kind of a hidden dream of mine.
Another one is to learn a foreign language.
Hello Becca
Congratulations on 2 years of wonderful creating. Your gift is amazing and continues with each post. One important priority on the bucket list is for me to take better care of my body. I have abused it and disregarded its needs for far too long. I am beginning to learn how important it is and to be more respectful.
thanks for our chance at your fantastic blog candy
Day 4
I would love to visit the Tower of London to see the fabulous jewels on display…
Another dream is to make a scrapbook for each of my children so they can have a memory of their life growing up to share with their grand children one day.
A third item on my Bucket List is to learn to play the piano. I took lessons for a year in 4th grade, but Mom couldn’t afford them after that (five kids taking lessons is a LOT!). My son taught himself to play the guitar AND the piano, so my Mom gave him her piano when he graduated from high school. Now that I’ve got something to practice on…nothing should stop me ‘eh?!!
Another item on my list is to hike the Grand Canyon again. I hiked it as a child, but I don’t remember much. I’d like to hike it with my husband.
Thanks again for your daily inspiration! Another item on the ole list is to complete a half marathon…
b-day 3 I would really like to try to finish at least a mini book of me to leave my girls. Love the flower ideas btw!
Congratulations and happy anniversay. Two years of looking at your blog and seeing these wonderful cards and projects that you put so much thought into. Thank you for being so generous with all of us.
My ‘Bucket List wish today is to just get through this day. I need strength to help my husband get through his health issues and get him back to being my lively Honey.
Day 3
I would love to sing on a big stage with an orchestra.
Carol xx
I would like to be more productive in my stamping/scrapping. I have been reorganizing my scrapping area and have made good progress so far. I’m also reorganizing my ribbon like you showed in one of your blog posts. Another project that will take longer is unmounting a lot of my stamps. I was running out of space in a major way. I have made some progress there, but have a ways to go. I think I will also make more use of the stamps I have with the system I am setting up.
Do something special for a friend…buy them a coffee drink…lunch…a fun present…or send them something so they know they’re loved :)
Charmaine
#4 I’ve always been intrigued with God’s Masterpieces, so my next Bucket List item would be to travel so that I could experience seeing an Aurora Borealis. It seems to me it would be awe-inspiring!
Love the Wiper card! It’s amazing!
It is so amazing that I found your blog right away after getting
back into stamping. It has been such an inspiration to me. I would
love to develop my skills at card making and become an inspiration
to my daughters and grandchildren:-)
I just want to live long enought to use all my paper that I have and use all my supplies at least once. I am sure that there are tons of others in this same situation LOL.
Thanks, Becca, for giving me the opportunity to dream again!
I guess, next on my bucket list is to lose weight so I can really enjoy the things on my bucket list! :)
Note to Barbara (on this blog): I’ve sent up a prayer for you and your husband. Hope all his reports are fantastic!
Day#4~ Heartwarming~ I would like to search the birth records in Barcelona, Spain to find my half-brother and let him know he has a family in the United States that loves him.
Next thing on my bucket list is to lose 10 lbs. and lead a healthier life style. Hugs, Nellie.
Would love to get my craft room organized so I could teach our cancer support group to make cards to sell this summer to raise funds for the IMF and LLS.
I want to start an encouragement card ministry, sending out cards to those who need to be encouraged in some way. My goal is at least one card a day and to make a difference in someones life. I’ve noticed that in this day of texting people aren’t really investing in others lives and communicating – not calling each other or dropping a note of encouragement, at least in our church and I believe that God is laying it on my heart to change this.
Day3:More than anything, I really want to be closer to God. To seek Him more and share His love with others.
I have been reading a few ‘lists’ – wonderful!!!!
Want to add to mine….call loved ones more often.
First of all. Thanks for sharing your creativity with me too, and congratulations with your Blog anniversary.
I would just like to share the happy moment s with my friends and family again, and again.
My father passed away before getting to go back to his homeland….Italy…..I want to complete that for him……go to Italy.
Day 4…My days get fewer but my list gets longer!!!!
*I would like to join the prayer chain at my church.
I want to ride my bicycle again! I have a recumbent bike that is great fun. I’ve been sick and gotten out of shape. . .well, I know. . .round is a shape. . .LOL! I’ve started walking, but I want to work back up to being able to ride 4 or 5 miles a day.
I want to visit Washington, DC my list is growing everyday
wow.. I’ve been reading through everyones bucket list items. Some fascinationg stuff !
I used to always want to try skydiving and a hot air balloon, but I got older and wiser !
This may sound different, but I’d like to become independantly wealthy somehow ! LOL…but I’d like for my husband to not have to worry about finances etc. and we could just enjoy the rest of our lives without that worry.
Into Day 4 – This is starting to get harder when you don’t already have a Bucket List. So along the lines of the movie, I too would like to jump out of an airplane…or hang-glide.
I have to agree that I find what others put on their b-list fascinating. Gives me food for thought. One thing I might add is living long enough to see my grandson get married–he is 1 now and I am almost 60 so I think this is certainly a possibility. Thanks again for the chance to win.
Day 4: Would love to get a card published some day. Thanks again for the chance to win such amazing goodies :D
Day 4:
Today my list is for my son and daughter-in-law. They have been trying to have another baby for a very long time. My wish is that it will happen to complete their family. I would so love to have another grandbaby to love.
stamp on…
get in shape
I would like to go to the outback of Australia.
Gee, I forgot the last couple days to comment… :) Becca you are so generous to allow us to comment more than once. :) Thank you again for the awesome blog candy!
Wishing to be able to keep up with my cardmaking hobby … unemployed and trying to make ends meet.
so, an item in my bucket list? … to be able to change this situation
Becca your projects are so awesome!! My fourth on my list is to step up my projects! YOU are such an inspiration I want to make better projects and step out of my comfort zone and try to conquer my fears of trying new things.
Bless you!
Bucket list #4 is to give consistantly to my local food bank. I always donate when they are having food drives, but I would really like to make donations to them every two weeks.
What a great idea for a blog candy giveaway! On my list, take my son to Italy so he can see where our family is from.
Angie
This is my second entry. I wish I would have entered each day, but I have been sick. :( Anyway, I would love to fly in a hot air balloon!
Thanks Becca!
Jennifer
Hi
So since I forgot to say an item from my bucket list last time….here’s two for today: Open my own restaurant and design my own home.
Have a great day!
My next realistic goal on my list is to add more exercise back into my daily routine. We’ve had tons of “winter visitors” and lots of rainy weather which have resulted in decreased time to exercise and increased “comfort foods” in our diets — a deadly combination for our weight control and overall healthy goals.
Day 3 or is it day 4?
I think I should get a memory from my bucket list. LOL!
When my mom had a stroke I found bringing my dog to the recovery center was a big hit. Mom has since passed away. I think it’s about time to go back and bring my dog.
Sharon L
I would like to drop some weight… this seems like a wierd “bucket list” item but, hey, logic will take priority at this point!
I would like to go back and get my Master’s. I had postponed my education to raise a family and never got back to school. This is a dream of mine. Love reading everyone’s bucket list wishes.
Go to Africa and help build a school
My first passion is quilting, I’ve won third a couple of times at a district level. I would love to win first at the district level so I could go on to the last level of competition.
I have been doing quite a lot of thinking about my Bucket list and there are so many things I should do.
-write my will while I can.
-rid my house of un-needed junk,rather than leave it for someone else to do.
-try to spend more time with my aging father before he passes on.
Congrats on your 2 year anniversery.
I would like to open my own store, a combination bakery and craft store.
My 3rd bucket list item would be to have a affordable camp where families could come in and rest and recreate together,strengthening their relationship with each other and the Lord.
Congrats on your blog. It was the first one i ever came across and it got me into Spellbinders BIG time. I had the chance to meet you at CHA Florida last year when I was there on holiday from England. I would love to see one of projects in a magazine. Nothing special but it would make me feel that I had actually achieved something
Love Sarah XXX
Congratulations on your anniversary!! You provide inspiration to so many with your beautiful projects!
Next on my bucket list is to travel with my husband. He likes to travel; I do not! Thanks!
Jenny L.
WOW! This list is getting loooong. lol. OK, day four:
1. visit friends in Australia
2. go on a cruise
3. long enough to have grandchildren, see them grow, and make cards with them
4. have my own space where I can make cards & goodies
It’s so much fun doing this each day. It’s really nice to take time to daydream. Thanks again for this opportunity.
Hugs,
Snoopy :D
I would like to finish my degree. I got married and didn’t finish college. But I really have no idea what I would want to take. Do they have a degree in papercrafting? LOL
Becca… thanks for the chance to win, but it has made me really think about lists and what I want to leave behind for my son. One of the things I would love to finish is our family tree with pictures. I lost my paternal grandmother when I was 12, when I was in my 20’s one of my Dad’s cousin said that I looked soo much like her. I glowed after hearing that.
Congratulations, time sure does fly.
Thanks Becca for a chance to win these awesome goodies.
1. Retire :)
2. Find my mother
One of the most important things I wantedto do, I managed to do last year…..with 2 friends I am sending handmade cards to sick people…..
But there’s still a lot I want to do, like jumping in parashoots…….LOL
Becca, I really admire your creations…they are all gorgeous!!!
Keep on the wonderful work!!!
Hugs from Rio de Janeiro,
Marcia

XO
Day four – I would like to take a cruise on the Mediterranean. Hmmm, maybe a stamp/crafting cruise?

Thanks for opening the door to this exercise.

Feel free to stop by my blog and check out my 2nd card :)
This Bucket List is GREAT! I had never heard of it before so I had to google it, but now I am so ready to start one :)
First on my list would have to be to go to Cuba to visit my grandmother before she passes on.
Wow, already over a thousand post. Another thing on my bucket list would be to be able to travel all over the United States and see all the great things we have to offer.
Congrats Becca-love your Blog.
I am working on getting in more Bible study-want to read the Bible in a year!
I’d like to take a watercolor painting class.

LOL) Since I can’t find it if I did, I will go ahead with it …I have 2 friends dying of cancer and it brings home how important it is to just “be” with friends. Taking time to just be and enjoy friendships not getting so caught up in being “busy.” Tha’s my #4. Thanks again for doing this, Becca!
Day 4 – I would like to spend more time with my Grandson
Day 4 – I missed the first few days….drat! I have done many of the things on my bucket list and don’t want to use those so I will just say Go with my girlfriends across Canada on VIA rail. I love road trips and have had not nearly enough. Ordinarily I would go with DH but he does not like trains, so phooo to him.
Day 4 – I would like to open a small wine and bread shop, making a different bread each day, selling it, or serving it as a lunch with local wines. Of course, I would want to have enough $$ to have employees so I am not always the one to be up at 4 am to bake!
Also on my bucket list is to learn how to operate the TV Dish….. my needs are simple. :)
DeniseB
Day four….Tour the Statue of Liberty
would love to tour the WHOLE state of Virginia, every nook and cranny!
Day 3 (for me)
I have been on a weight loss journey for the past year and having lost 30 pounds. My Bucket wish is to lose the final 25 pounds and continue to reap the health benefits.
I would love to go to Hawaii –
Study acupuncture in China!
I really like the wiper card.Day 3 and I can not think of too much else I want to do today as I am so tired and we have to go to church in just a bit. maybe see Washington DC.
Bucket List? To look for the good in all things, situations, and people around me.
Today’s bucket list item is to follow the “pay it forward” philosophy more in every day life. Even in times when we cannot financially do something for someone – a smile, a greeting, holding the door for someone, all these things contribute to a better world for all of us. Thanks again for the chance to win.
BECCA BECCA I HAVE HAD MY BIRTHDAY AND STILL NEED THAT PRESENT

LIKE BECA’S IS FANTASTIC. THANK YOU FOR SHARING.

Hi Becca, I have always yearned to have some goats, but I think I would really love to give up my job and look after animals someday.
Also I would love to be really fit and thinner again.
I would like to complete my family tree too.
Cazzy x
Oh my I almost forgot about this. Maybe I should have added that to my Bucket List (LOL) but one thing I’ve always dreamed of doing is going to Ireland. There’s just something about that country that intrigues me and I’d love to visit there up close and personal.
I would like to be able to provide a safe haven for battered and neglected animals until they can be adopted out.
I would also like to travel to Switzerland
Day 4 – To become skilled enough to teach a card class some day.
Next on my bucket list is to travel to the western US with my husband – I’d like to see every National Park.
I want to go to Hawaii.
Day 4 – I want to be an author. I have the idea, a title, and a few words but need to do it! We’ll see!!
To be with my sister, #599, in that hot air balloon experience.
Hi and blessings to you and yours…congrats on your anniversary, I’ve told lots of people about your sight…your creativity is endless.I would like to go out East in the fall and take in the beauty of fall there, and go to the histioric sights!! Thanks for your inspirations!!
Hmm #4…. I need to become more organized. I used to be really organized, but lately i’ve let it all slide. It’s bad. things stacked up everywhere. Some friends stopped by last night and I didn’t think about it until they left…. I seriously need to dump the junk and organize everything I need to keep and donate or give away the good stuff that I don’t need any more.
I’d like to learn to ice skate.
Volunteer at the local senior citizens center or donate my time at a nursing home is something I want to do.
#3- be able to mentor a younger woman again in the fundamentals of the Christian faith and living it daily
Day 4 ……I would love to get back to my home town to visit my family, Hopefully later this summer.
Hi Becca,
This bucket list really has got me thnking, which is great. The third thing I’d like to share from my bucket list is that I’d like to learn to play the piano properly. I know enough to play for my own enjoyment, using chords for my left hand, but I want to set aside time each day to work hard to learn to play the piano well enough to be able play it at church.
Bless you Becca.
Anne
Since Valentine’s Day is coming up–I want my Husband & I to go out to a nice dinner Saturday night. I had Pneumonia last week & was out of work for 6 days and was sick counting weekends for 11 days. My husband was great, he took great care of me, ran errands, washed dishes, did laundry, everything that I needed. I want to show him how much I love him and to show how much I appreciated him taking such good care of me during my illness. This is an important list to do in my bucket. Thanks again for your inspiration & care.
Another item on my bucket list: This will have to wait until after I retire. I would like to travel and stop to see all the relatives that I have scattered across the country. Family is precious and it seems harder and harder to get together.
Becca,
First off, I want to tell you I have been searching the web for cards and tutorials. I am very new at this and very excited. I expect my Wizard to be delivered next Monday, and I can’t wait. I am very impressed with your cards. I truly think your are very talanted and you site has been saved in my favorites so I can visit daily. Your site is number one to me.
I haven’t seen the movie The Bucket List, but my husband said it was great. I think it is an excellent idea to have one. I am starting it now.
Number 1. Make a trip to England to research my family tree. I think it honors your ancestors when you research them.
I am on the verge of being an empty-nester. One of my favorite things when my sweeties were little was snack time before bed. They would pull up their clean, fresh-smelling little bodies to the kitchen table where many times we had cookies and milk (a true comfort food, I must say). It was a time we got to reminisce about our day and start winding down. I treasure every second of those evenings. I would love to start a cookies and milk ministry for the single moms in our church who probably never have the time to bake homemade cookies for their little ones.
One day closer to the prize! Another thing on my list would be to be on The Amazing Race. I love that show. My wonderful family even created an Amazing Race birthday party for my 40th birthday. It was great.
Some may think this next bucket list item is totally silly, and maybe it is, but I’d like to learn how to play the accordion! Being of German and Swiss heritage, the love of the oompah music is “in my blood.” I bought a button accordion that my uncle had on his auction, but it needs a lot of repair to be playable, so it may just be a family remembrance. I either have to find someone who can fix it, or find an affordable accordion to buy, and then find someone to teach me to play it. Accordion music is such fun and happy music.
Day 4 ~ not sure it’s really a Bucket List item, but I want to live closer to my best friend. Now we only get to see each other 1 or sometimes 2 times a year. Congratulations again on 2 years of inspiring others Becca! It’s been amazing to read some of the things that people put on their lists. 2 that have really stuck me are the wish to learn to swim and to learn to drive. Since I’ve been swimming since I was an infant, I guess I take that totally for granted, the same with driving. Perhaps something I’m learning from this is to be grateful for all that I have and all that I can do! Thanks for that!
R/
Day 4 – I’d like to make a trip back to the islands where I grew up (my parents were missionaries). This one might become reality – my 25th wedding anniversary is coming up, and we’re trying to schedule a special trip. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the pay it forward. I like to watch someone’s face when they find out someone already paid for their lunch. Have a great day!
Watch my yet-to-be-born grandchild learn to love reading.
Me again 3d: I would like to take an extended trip to Italy. My husband and I spent a short 3 days in Rome during our honeymoon and LOVED it — we hope to have the good fortune to go back and see more and do more…
Next bucket list item wold be going on an African Safari for a photo taking shoot – with a very expensive camera. Mmmmh obviously my bucket list was made before I had brain surgery and told I can never fly again…maybe it’s time I made out a new list. LOL
Congratulations, Becca, on creating a wonderful blog that is beloved by your visitors. It’s so good that some of us visit every day!
Fourth on my bucket list is learning the skills to be an exceptional card-maker…being so good I could have my own blog. This is a work in progress.
One of my Bucket list wishes is to get a great deal of money and open a home for all the animals who are on death row. My dream is that there will never be ANY unwanted and unloved animals.
Hilda
Thank u so much for the chance to win your awesome candy!! I love you blog and visit a lot!! I am keeping my fingers crossed
God Bless
Pam
My bucket list would be to enjoy each day more and the people around me more. Your blog and designs are amazing. I can’t wait to check it out every day.
another item on my bucket list would be take a cruise up the new England Coast. I would love to visit Maine. Of course it would be more fun if I could take a bunch of friends with me.
Beautiful creation! An item to my bucket list is to help out Joshua, who just lost his dear Mom. Luckily for Josh, his foster parents are his Grand Uncle and Aunt.
Not very original, but I’d love to visit Europe, especially London.
Another thing on my bucket list is I would like to create a blog, but I don’t have the time right now. I love to see what people have to offer & learn from them. Certainly enjoy this one! Just another inspiration.
The second thing I would like to put on my bucket list is to host a big card making event and have everyone bring a friend who has never stamped. I would like to teach them how fun it is to be creative and share th e passion of stamping with them.
My 3rd wish on my bucket list is to tour Germany and Austria.
Becca Happy 2 yr blogging Anniversary! Your creations are beautiful and always amazing.
Same as Maribeth… #1 on my bucketlist would be to love those babies in the neonatal unit at the hospital. When my granddaughter, Samantha was born last March she spent 5 days in NICU. The nurse commented to me one day how lucky my daughter, her husband and my granddaughter were to have such a wonderful support system, as we all (four grandparents, aunts and friends) visited daily. She said that many are single moms totally alone or sometimes babies that are alone. I can’t even fathom such a thing! I told her to point me to a room so I could share my love with another baby and scared new mama!
day #4
hi becca — what an amazing response to your challenge!!
i’d really like to have a stash of “just because and for all reasons” cards to give out to whoever needs a lift or for whatever occasion.
In college, I camped at Spirit Lake near Mt St Helens. Iwould love to return and see what it really looks like now.
Day 4—I wish I could be a researcher & find a method to detect & cure cancer. But I will at least try to make cards for people going through the challenges of this disease.
I have checked off many things on my bucket list as I have a terminal disease and don’t know how much time I have left, but am living life to the fullest… like it’s my last day on Earth… Just breathing the air and feeling the breeze on my face is one of the things that is so simple we all just take for granted! I’m a fighter, though, so I will be here for a long, long time !
Another item on my list would be to see more of my own country (Australia) which is so huge, it will take forever.
Day #4! This is so fun Becca! 17 years ago today my husband & I went to Las Vegas to get married. (If you are catholic you know this is not recognized by the church as a true marriage!). We wanted small because we had both been married before. My wish is to renew our vows and have our marriage blessed in the catholic church.
Karen M.
I will take that professional photograpy course that I seem to never have time for!
I have an extreme fear of water… I want to learn how to swim!
Day 4 “Bucket Item” – Hello again, Becca! You really have me thinking about my bucket list…… another item on my list is to travel all around Europe…. I’ve been to the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Hungary and Czech Republic … but there are so many other countries on my list…. I particularly love the old European architecture … palaces, castles, plazas and market squares, old fountains, churches and cathedrals, opera houses, towers, statues, museums … so much to see. Love “Old Europe”. It transports me to a different place and time…..
I’m going to have to try to post in the morning before I run off to work. This posting in the evening after dinner and the time difference that displays on the post is really confusing me as to what “day” I’m really posting to!!! I think I missed a day somewhere along the way… : (
My day 3 b-list item is to run a 1/2 marathon… I like to walk/hike but don’t usually jog more than 1 mile before gasping and slowing back to a walk.
Teach some of the local refugee children to drive (because their families don’t own cars).
I would like to show my children by my life that Jesus is the whole reason for living and that smiling and obeying here has rewards later.
I girlfriend’s husband is going through chemo treatments now and my hubby and I have pledged our time, friendship at any hour and our continued prayers and hugs….even if the hugs are over the phone. We are confident that our Father God will heal our precious friend and once again make him free of cancer.
Thank you for all your loving cards featuring the Magnolia children and family of stamps. They are so cute and you just know how to make them shine. I am going to send my friend your blog so she too can enjoy your projects.
I would love to see your blog candy come to my craft room.
I’d like to learn how to use the different components of my computer by taking a computer course.
I am enjoying reading all these entries!
I’m a couple of days behind – massive storm here Tuesday and knocked me out of cyberspace!!!!! Im now back online tho so here are 2 items – one a bit selfish – swim with dolphins and second – join the local meals on wheels team (for the local senior citzs).
live in another country, at least for a little while
Another bucket list item for me would be to use up my fabric before I die.
Want to help someone who is new to crafting and show them what they have been missing. Love to share ideas with people and make them smile.
I never knew what a wiper card was, but that is really cool! I’m going to try one! My third item from my list is that I would love to adopt a child or two, maybe a whole bunch. What would be the best would be to start a Christian orphanage. I just don’t know if I could pick, I just feel so much for all those kids without families, I’d love to take them all!
My fourth thing to do would be to spend a night watching the Northern Lights which my friend says is mind blowing.
Very early today. Feeling kinda sad as it would have been Mum’s 81st birthday today but sadly she died nearly 2 years ago.
Day 5 for me and today? I’d like to see Dad more settled in his new home and for him to lose all the funny little things that have sprung up with him since he moved. They all started due to anxiety and now they’ve become habit but habit’s we’d all rather he didn’t have .. including himself but, he’s not totally with us mentally so it’s difficult.
I just got the ghist of this comp-I must be having a seniors moment would love to have entered every day but oh well- day three -does entering on the newest post count cause I did that instead of this one last night – another bucket list item is to get my back yard organised so my darling grandchildren can go outside and play safely instead of having things to trip over- it’s a mess.
To make the time to consistently do random acts of kindness! sUSAn
Second entry.
I’d like to find out who is my husband’s father before I die. He – my hubbie – never knew him and has no idea about that, yet I won’t feel comfortable until I get to know who is the grandpa of my kids.
Another bucket list item for me is to organize my house, especially my crafting room and studio.
#3 – My third thing would be to meet family overseas I have never met
Hi Becca!
This is just such an amazing adventure you have inspired. It is wonderful to read all the entries and to be inspired by many of the responses. Thanks so much for pulling this together!
My next wish is to find a way to reconcile two dear family members who haven’t spoken for years. A tough one, but here’s praying….
Anne (UK)
i’ld like to start my own blog.
Day 4
I have never been on a cruise and I would love to do this with my husband, as we celebrate our Silver Wedding next year!
Carol xx
Learn how to create and grow a really wonderful garden, both flower and vegetable!
# ? Forgot what number I’m on, oh well.
Anyway next on my list would be; Do more volunteer work in the community.
Colleen
#3 on my bucket list is to organize all my crafting supplies – I make beaded jewelry and also cross stitch so this would take at least 2 days!
Thanks Becca for such a great prize……my bucket list….see the ocean…
I want to have a huge, perfectly ordered craft room!
I would like to be debt-free.
bucket list for Sandra continued … travel more, I want to visit all 50 states and then see the world!
Sandra
Bucket List–grow a rose garden as beautiful as my grandmother’s.
First grandchild on the way. I hope to help my daughter as much as I can. Thanks for the chance. Hugs, Nellie.
# 4 This contest has jump started my “To do ” list and I thank you for it as with most of us we seem to put them aside for normal every day “stuff” My next thing I would like to do is carve out just a little piece of the week for me to rest, rejuvinate and feed my soul! Thank you
Wow, what a tremendous response you’ve gotten to this event. Another item on my bucket list is to visit Germany – my grandfather’s home. I would love to experience a little bit of where he grew up.
Thanks again for the opportunity to win!
Teri
this is about the 1,164th comment! Yeowee Becca!
ok, next on my list is to perge. i collect so many ‘important’ papers, books, things, my storage is jam packed with important stuff i never look at! so this thing i want to accomplish will take some time to complete – better start today!
Love your blog Becca!
My day #4
I would love to have a really beautiful craft room (with a door) and an unlimited budget to fill it up!
I will read all of Dickens books – every one of them (even the one I started , did not like, and never finished!)
Next bucket list item: my hubby and I on an Alaskan cruise. We both think that would be an awesome experience.
Another day another post… I want to go back to where I was born and visit all my relatives. I haven’t seen most of them in about 25 or 30 years I guess & it’d be so much fun to talk to them again.
Have not come up with anything more for my bucket list. I have learned that life is too & coming up with one this week has been hard because it has made me realize that I should have done this awhile ago. First thing on that list would have been spend more time with family.
Today I will grieve my constant companion Jasmine, and will not feel guilty. She had that unconditional love & trust that animals possess, in life @ when she was dying. Although she has been gone for several months, the hole in my heart is slow to heal.
Thankfully though, I have two beautiful cats who share this. Although notoriously independent, they never leave my side. They sense my emptiness, and console me with soft purrs and sandpaper kisses!
“Inside the heart of every stray animal is the singular desire to be loved”
b-day #4 Try to connect with friends more often, in person preferably, but at least by snail mail or a card or a phone call even.
This is hard but I am applying what I have expressed each day thus making the list “happen”. One thing I don’t do well and will start to be more aware of is: expressing my thanks and gratitude for all my blessings, and wonderful friends who are there when I need them. Give thanks for the support system that is always in place that helps lift and sustain me at all times. I will take more time to reflect and offer prayers for life itself and the wonderful blessings that come from living each and every day.
May God give me strength and patience to always help my family.
Day 5 – To go to Disney World (We’ve never been) and stay at the Animal Kingdom Lodge!
I think this is my 4th entry. I’d love to visit Churchill and see the polar bears.
visit novia scotia
I would like to take a trip to visit all my out of state relatives who I haven’t seen for years.
One day I would love to atend the Olympics to cheer our athletes to victory.
Post #4 was to go to Paris….I left this message on another link
Post #5….. I would love to go to the lake of Jordon……my brother is a pastor and was able to go there and get baptism again there and I thought that was total amazing…..how awesome that would be to be where Jesus was baptism by John……….
Becca, thank you for sending us to a place deep within ourselves. You are such an inspiration and that’s what I would so like to be.
Becky E.
To visit the beautiful National Parks out West!
(PS, What a great idea this was, and congratulations!)
Day 5…to see the Rocky Mountains! I live on the east coast, and while I would never give up the ocean, I would love to see the Rocky Mountains.
I love your site it is so wonderful to come across a fellow Christian crafter.
I would love to start a refuge for stray and abused animals here in Spain.
Sandra xxxxx
I love your blog it is so wonderful to come across a fellow Christian Crafter.
I would love to start a refuge for stray and abused animals here in Spain.
Sandra xxx
It would be interesting to go to the taping of a tv talk show like Ellen or Oprah and then watch the show on tv and compare the differences between what you saw and what was actually shown on tv. Such as, what goes on during the commercial breaks and what has been edited.
Next item on my bucket list is to get my craft room more oranized & try to take 20 minutes each day to clean up when I leave my room. I always find that when I do this, my energy & creativity is greatly enhanced.
I’d like to rock climb to the top of Devil’s Tower. I’ve never climbed anything that tall; I think it would be a thrill!
I’ve always had a love of ancient civilizations. I’ve subscribed to Archaelogy magazine for years and really want to sign up to help on an archaelogy dig.
Next on my bucket list is to help my daughter get her new little business off the ground. You can’t do it for them and they need to learn from their own mistakes, but sometimes you can make it just a little easier. Becca, thanks again for your wonderful inspirational ideas.
Congratulations on your 2 year blog anniversary! I would like to take a trip to the West coast of USA. Olena
I’d like to go with the youth of of our church on a mission trip.
Another beautiful creation today. Your creativity is awesome. For my “bucket list” I would like to start an exercise program that I like and can stick with. Hope you have a God inspired day.
#5 on my bucket list
Try to be more originally creative.
Thanks Becca, for all the beautiful things you share.
God Bless. ml.
I would love to open a LSS! Thanks for the chance to win!
Next one is to have the kind of craft room I see in magazines. Seems simple, but it would make me so happy!
Hi Becca: I love your cards, how absolutely talented you are, and committed. A bucket list, well I posting #2 today, I love Agatha Christie Novels, and my wish is to take a trip on the Orient Express with my boys and my nieces. It’s a big one. I’m not even sure they’d be interested. But there it is , I’ve been reading everyone elses wishes, and wow.
Hi again – – I am so excited to know you are making a video on the weaving project. Can’t wait!! Next on my bucket list – – would love to get rid of “stuff”. Seems like it wants to take over and I get overwhelmed and know I would feel better to have less. Have a great day!!
Becca,
Day 5…I hope to someday see the beautiful South Pacific islands.
Many Blessings,
~~Diane~~
My bucket list for Wednesday and today…. (Thank God the snow is stopped!!)
Wed – Travel to Isreal
Thurs – To have a family reunion with all of my family
Learn to oil paint (with water mixable oils).
To visit Egypt and sit with the children of a Maasia tribe.
Bike and hike in Acadia National Park.
Even though I had to retire for a medical problem I would like to
find something I can do to help others. Maybe that will include
paper crafting!
As I’ve recently been placed on disability, I’d love the chance to be ‘out there’ again. I enjoy making my cards and creations, but am itching to do more.
On my bucket list is this: do more, push myself, learn! to make my dreams come true and, with a little luck, I can soon make them a reality. Since I was a teen I’ve wanted to create my own stamps and line of stationery, and I am now actively working on making it a reality. It’s both scarey and exciting!
As I reflect on my mental bucket list – your blog “pushes” me to make better cards & now it’s helping think about the future – the most important thing I want to do is watch my son grow older into a better man, husband & father. I don’t need to go anywhere just want to see that more than anything
I would like to have my own craft room if we’re able to move back to Georgia. I would have lots of work space and be able to leave everything out and just close the door when I’m done, instead of having a small space in my bedroom and having to put things away each time. Thanks.
Number 5 for me is kind of silly, but I’d love to be a “fly on the wall” in your craft room and watch you as you create your beautiful cards. I know I would learn a lot!
Day 5: I’d love to do the Amazing Race :D Hubby can do all the eating of strange foods (he’ll eat anything) and I’d do all the height things (he isn’t too good with heights). I can speak Spanish (well get by anyway!) an he can speak some French so we’d have a few of the continents covered LOL! What a fun way to see the world it would be.
I’d like to visit my sister at her home in Mexico City…and guess what…a trip is currently being planned…yea!!!
Day 5
I would like to volunteer at a hopital in the preemie section. I love the idea of rocking babies. I am sure my blood pressure would drop 40 points!
Becca its my fifth idea on my list, this is way out there but I would love to be able to fly some where BUT I hate to fly it scares me so much but again I am trying hard to over come my many fears and I know with God’s help I can in time. Just had a thought where do YOU live LOL
Blessings to you!
Wow, its day 4 already! and reading all the responses is another source of inspiration, and some absolutely fabulous ideas on people Bucket Lists.
I think my fourth item on a bucket list would be to find some small step to help alleviate world hunger.
Although I know I couldn’t stop it completely…one small step is a step in the right direction.
THanks again Becca, your always an inspiration
Hi Becca, I sure do enjoy your blog. You always have some really beautiful cards. I think I missed yesterday, so this # 4 for me and I’m not sure if this qualifies for the bucket list but I would really like to see my son-in-law delivered from alcohol and back in church and his family life healed.
Since I was in 7th grade I’ve always had a yearning to visit Ireland.
Charmaine
My wish for today would be to complete the two quilts I have started for two of my granddaughters. My goal is to have them completed by the end of February.
Hello Becca! :-) My 5th bucket item is to travel to Japan, and see as many of the temples and gardens as possible. I want to go up into the mountains there and see the vistas!
Hi Becca, Day 5
I think it would be really cook and relaxing to sleep under the stars on a warm beach with cool breezes. If I ever get to revisit Hawaii, or somewhere else tropical, I will do it!
I would love to build my own house. Not have one built for me but do it all. Hammer all nails and so forth. Of course under the supervision of someone who knows what they are doing =)
Now that my health is improving (yeah) I want to volunteer some more-local Senior Center, library, church, school or hospital. Ideas for my list are endless. (grin)
I want to teach my new granddaughter to love Jesus!
On my bucket list i wish to travel to Holland and visit all the little craft shops and indulge in all the dutch templates and crafts,,, that would be a super treat. I am constantly sharing all my ideas and craft knowledge with others and i see that as a “pay forward” to make others knowledgeable.
I’ve always wanted to visit Key West. I live in FL, but have never been there.
Thanks for the fifth entry.
another thing for my list is learning to use a sewing machine :0
I want to get certified in scuba diving after I loose 130lbs.
Meet you in person Becca!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a fun thing to do, trying my entry at candy!!! Thanks for the chance.
#5 See my kids grow up and get married and have some grandkids!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love to work at an animal shelter to help make the animals feel happy and not scared!!!
Wow…Day 5
5. I want to go to Nashville. This is probably the first on my list that will get done!
Have a great day!
This is definitely a long bucket list, we don’t have to help each other accomplish this do we? The next thing on MY list is to move out of a small country town and back to a town that has more than one grocery. I miss having restaurants and even Wal-Mart. That’s kinda pitiful to want but it takes so much time to get anything done living far away and I’ not a country girl.
Again, rather than a something or a somewhere, I think my bucket list includes being the best me I can be! As I have wondered and pondered to come up with things for the list, I guess as a whole I am happy and content – the most important things in this world are not things at all! Thanks again for the chance to win.
Take as many art classes as possible. ~C8>
Today I watched a show about an 80 year old grandmother who was fulfilling her bucket list rather than have chemo. She had gone swimming with dolphins, skydiving, today she toured the Grand Canyon and tomorrow she is going dog sledding. I hope I have such courage if I am ever in that position. On my list today is to be a happier person.
#5 My husband and I are unable to have children and I know that millions of children are born each year, I would love to adopt a child not a baby but an older child, I love my son and granddaughter, and would to give a home a special child
Day 4 (for me)
I don’t usually sell my cards. I make them for my own enjoyment and that of friends and family. However in Jan. I did have a sale to raise money for the local Food Bank. It was very successful and I’d like to do that again. Because the Food Bank can buy wholesale, the cash I donated apparently buys twice the food that one could buy and donate.
I would like to be able to control my anxiety. I’m working on it and hope by the end of the year to have more coping mechanisms.
It’s snowing here today! I would love to be home in my craft room crafting but unfortunately, work has to come first. Another thing I’d like to do sometime is go to Africa. My sister was a missionary there 2 different times. One in Kenya and one in Ethiopia during the famine in the 80s. In fact, I would love to go there with my sister!
Day #5~ Tastebud Quenching~ I want to take a 2-week cooking course in Italy, while staying with an Italian family.
Day 5 Bucket List: Spending more time with my family.
Day 5:
The one last thing on my current list would have to be teaching stamping again. I haven’t taught for over 2 years and I really miss teaching classes and interacting with students. It is so neat to see the face of a new student when you show them heat embossing for the first time.
stamp on…
Day 4: I would love to be able to lose some weight and to keep it off. To be have more will power and to be successful in this area.
#5 Woke up to snow that’s sticking on the ground! And since I live in east Texas, it’s not common!
Of the many many beautiful spots and things to see in our country, one thing I’ve never seen is a mountain. A real snow covered mountain with peaks and ranges and all! I know I’ll cry the moment I actually see it…some day! It just reminds me again of the Majest of God and His Creation!
Have an awesome day Becca!
Hi Becca, I would like to be able to swim really well. I am not a good swimmer and now I am body concious I avoid the pool, and due to health reasons I find exercise difficult but I feel I would love to be good at swimming and get fit.
Cazzy x
Day 5 : I would love to be able to spend more time with my dh and ds and to go to Disney Land. My ds always wanted to go to Disney Land but with limited funds we could never go, but we really would like to make this happen before he becomes a teenager.
I would like to learn how to dive. I can swim, but I never got over my fear of diving head first into water. It is scarry for me!
My next bucket list item is to intentionly do a kind deed for someone else each week. I’m trying to temper my own “want list” with being a true servant of God. If I can do this act of kindness without anyone knowing that would be preferred, but at least some of the time I would like to pick out someone I do not really know to show a kindness to.
I want to help as many people as I can discover a world of hearing with Cochlear implants
Would love to create a scrapbook of my life.
I would like to make a difference in the life of an unknown person by ensuring that he/she can get needed medical care.
[…] You still have until Friday night at Midnight to enter for the blog candy. You can read about the rules and enter HERE. […]
I love this idea!!
My list so far…………..
Open a bakery/cafe
Travel and do mission work in Haiti
Vacation in Ireland
my 5th item on my bucket list is to walk the Great Wall in China. I have had this desire since I first saw it in elementary school
Well, I’m Canadian and I’ve travelled all over the world but not a lot in Canada. I’ve always wanted to take the train across the country, from one coast to the other!
Another thing on my bucket list is do good for others anonymously. This is the most fun for my husband and I. We aren’t able to do a lot but we do what we can and truly enjoy the doing.
Wow – there’s a lot of inspiration on these posts!
One thing on my bucket list is to help a struggling friend set up a business. Don’t know how it’s going to happen, but I have faith! There would be no greater joy for me in this life than to do that.
#5 – I want to take Highland dancing lessons, I am part Scottish/Irish and just think it would be great to learn about that part of my heritage.
Becca, Thanks for all the great inspiration and stories…I enjoy your blog. Bucket List…..get my California Real Estate Brokerage License…been an agent for 20 years, time to step up!
One of my ideals would be able to you all of my crafting stash before I die. I better get a move on!!!
Bucket List #5 I would like to really learn Spanish. I have tried a little bit and did ok, but want to seek out someone to practice with and to really become better at conversation.
I LOVE the ODBD card you posted today! I am going to have to order the birdie stamps from them…should that be on my list??? Thanks for posting it! It is lovely!
My son is pastoring a church in long beach MS and the building they rent is being sold. I would like to see the church settled into a permanent building
Another bucket list item….. go to Disneyland again. That one is actually always at the top of my list! I love going there, and went about 3 years ago after not having been there in over 15 years….. It isn’t really such a difficult thing to do, as we are about an 8 hour drive away, but just never get it all together to make all the arrangements and choose a date.
DeniseB
I’m such a goof – I misread about the posting – and left yesterday’s comment on yesterday’s post! Oh well – that’s okay! I’ll leave one here today anyway.
My 3rd bucklet list item: Take my husband to Colorado.
He’s from Lebanon – where the base of the mountains touch the edge of the sea – and we live in Illinois! No mountains here!
Day 5 – I would love to visit the Holy Lands. I was going once but the trip was cancelled due to threat of war.
Post #4, I would like to go to Alaska and Hawaii, each for enough time to really check things out and see the sights. Congrats on 2 years, again!!
Day 3: Visit New Zealand
Day 4: Visit Israel
What can I say – I want to be remembered for my kindness, how I cared for others in my life, something or someone that I made a difference in – I hope this doesn’t make me sound selfish (I’m really not – I enjoy giving and being a good friend). I think my family will say “Remember when Sandy took care of Mom, Dad, and How much she loved and took care of Darrell (my dh of 35 yrs). and how she took care of us when were little and her faith in our Lord.
Becca, I love your site and it’s always an inspiration to see what you will create next! As for my bucket list, it’s a bit long, but to know our Lord more deeply and cherish His Love more each day is at the top of my list. I’d also love to work in a neonatal nursery and share love and acceptance with those I love so dearly. Thank you for giving us this amazing opportunity!
Debra
I babysit a friend’s set of 2-year-old twins once in a while. I would like to be able to do this consistently on a once-a-week or once-every-two-week basis so that she can enjoy an evening off regularly to spend with her husband.
Back again with another item: Learn to swim!
dmc
I thought I would comment each day but my week has been crazy! I would like to find time to have a blog. Thanks for offering such great candy.
Day 4
I would love to see all the greens of Ireland. That’s an easy one (list item, that is – not to get to actually doing it)!
Thanks so much, Becca for all the food for thought!
XO
Hi Becca… A dream since my childhood is to someday visit Australia… sure hope I make it one of these days! Your work is always so lovely!!
To visit all the national parks. After watching PBS’s special on our nations national parks it makes you realize how beautiful this country is.
Hi Becca,
Another thing I would like to do is visit Disneyworld with my family!! My DD wants to meet all the Princesses. Hope one day we can afford a trip there.
I would love to have a craft space (room) that I don’t have to clean up after everytime I make something. It would be wonderful to leave all my supplies out and just shut the door.
item #4… I’d like to see my partner feeling TRULY well, full of vibrancy and life. To that end, no matter what the “official diagnosis”, encouraging him to eat a healthy diet, meditate, be careful of exposing himself to negative people/movies/situations etc… My goal is to never give up in my support of these things.
I would love to get back in shape :-)!
My last chance to enter (but my list will continue now ive started)- i would like to visit the Grand Canyon – something ive always wanted to do – i see God there – I see his awesomeness, his wonder – HIS handicraft – it never ceases to amaze me. Friends of mine visited there years ago and to see the photos (which they DIDNT appreciate – how good they looked – on an overcast day with all the mist settling about like smoke in the distance) took my breath away then and still does just talkin about it. Thanks Becca for the chance to rethink (and remember) some of these special dreams and to look at ourselves and what we can also do for others. Good luck to the lucky candy winner too!!!
Day 5 “Bucket List” Item — someday, I would love to take my twins to Africa so they can see where their Mom lived for 15 years with her expat family as she was growing up… it was a wonderful life, with outstanding schools, lovely homes, many friends .. and school vacations spent on driving safaris in the National Parks in Kenya and Uganda, seeing and taking pictures of the then-abundant wildlife (not killing God’s beautiful creatures for trophies). I know my kids would love to visit the safari parks to see all the wildlife …. one day, maybe……if I can make my bucket list item come true….
Thanks again, Becca, for letting us dream and for the opportunity to win your generous blog prize.
I just found out (last night) that my daughter and son-in-law are making me a first time Grandma. I am sooooo excited and my wish is to be able to get healthy enough to be able to see, play and love this new little miracle about to enter our lives.
would love to be able to pay off all my son’s college loans….what a joy that would be!
One more thing on my bucket list is to try and gather more classmates for one more reunion! We only got about half last time, good turnout but not nearly enough.
Hi there! Another item on my bucket list is ORGANIZATION!!! I should probably not leave that on in the bucket and start it RIGHT NOW!!
I like to take a photography class.
Visit Portugal and Italy. My family is from Portugal and my hubby’s are from northern Italy…Never been..
Your request for comments on our bucket list has made me take a look at my inner self and take stock of who I am and for that I am thankful, my concern is that if i leave this earth earlier than I wish I want to I want to make sure I’ve told the people in my life that I love them especially my daughters… so I have made a commement to make sure their scrapbooks are done and i’ve finish project that i have started for them so they know how much i loved them and how proud I am of them.
thanks Becca!!!
Bucket List – I have been wanting to write some stories. I keep getting these ideas out of the blue so I think the good Lord is telling me to stop thinking about it and do it.
Day 5……I would love to get myself more organized this year. And keep myself organized. Tough job for me..
Number 2, Scrapbook all my pictures…
Day 5, List Item #5 ~ Be able to take my daughter on a trip to Italy.
Another item on my list, to be able to find time to be able to visit a local nursing home and spend time with the elderly, just reading to them or doing something they would like.
Here’s my dream for today–to be able to pay for all my 4 siblings and their families and my Mom to go on a cruise together.
Your cards and projects inspire me so much. Thank you.
Another thing on my bucket list is to visit Australia and pet a kangaroo
I would like to visit NYC, take a tour of the city and enjoy a stage show.
Thank you for the opportunity to win some goodies and for your inspirations.
Day 5 – I’d love to learn to play bagpipes! In honor of my Scottish ancestors.
Day 5 …..Continue to find the source of a family genetic disorder
that showed up in only the last 2 generations & then be able to simply say “Oh, that’s what happened.”
Congrats again Becca..I’m hoping to post something I’ve made on Split Coast Stampers sometime soon!:)
Day 5 – be a healthy weight for my height and age.
Day 5 – OK let me get off myself and do something for someone else. My husband just got back from Haiti. I would like to go over there and help either establish an orphanage or work with an existing one. Give back what the Lord has blessed me with, working hands and a giving heart.
Hello again……one more bucket list item…..take a course at night school….happy day, Jean
Becca you bring joy to so many. It is on my bucket list to become a wonderful Christian just like you. You are a wonderful roll model to us stampers. Thank you for all you do.
#3. Another thing on my bucket list is to learn how to use a sewing machine. I can hand sew and embroider, but I’ve never been able to get the hang of using the sewing machine. I would love to be able to make clothing and quilts, plus I would love to add sewing to my card making skills:)
Bucket list # 4, is to have enough money to pay our bills on time and some leftover to be able to help others.
See the Grand Canyon up close.
to get published someday. That would be so cool
Hello Again Becca
Here’s hoping you have many more years on your blog for us all to enjoy. Another bucket list item that I have always wanted to do is to write a book. I know that it take committment and alot of hard work and that it is not all glamour and collecting a big paycheck. I love writing and the idea of writing… Its always been a dream
Thanks Becca for bringing our dreams out to surface again.
my 3rd item on my bucket list is to love more unconditionally…..to not find fault but just love on people regardless……I don’t think of myself as a critical person but it seems easier to love some than others….I want to see others through the eyes of Christ.
day #5
congrats becca, you have such an AWESOME blog!!! i’d like to knit toques for preemies.
Fifth on my bucket list is helping build a Habit for Humanity home.
Congratulations again, Becca, on 2 wonderful years!
Please keep the ideas coming. They are so great. I look forward to opening your blog each time I receive a notification of it.
Candy Meyers
Wow… #5. Hmm. Now I’m not sure if this is a bucket list or just a BIG WISH. :)
I would love to be able to help my extended family and friends financially. Whether I win some amazing Lottery or win-fall contest prize that would allow me to support my loved ones in a Secret-Santa sort of way I would love that.
I want to find a new church home. I was so hurt in the last one that I attended and where I am still a member by church leaders. I know that God has a place for me.
The top item on my bucket list is to buy my own home. The American Dream right! Of course it would have an outstanding paper studio.
Thanks for the opportunity to start filling my dream room.
Blessings.
Day 4 ~ Another item on my list, when I grow up I want to be you! Really what I want is just a bit of your creativity. So I’m resolving to explore more, play more and just try things! Thanks, Becca.
R/
#4 to be able to spend half a year with each set of grandchildren without being a financial burden
Volunteer at your local schools. I know in our small town, they are always looking for people to help listen to a child read or help correct papers or assist a teacher in the classroom.
#4 Bucket list for me is to volunteer at our hospital once I have my tx done so I can give to our community.
spend as much time as I can with my boys before they grow up and dont want to anymore.
An item on my B-list would be to finish 2 quilts that I started and never finished. I also have some cards “almost” done but not quite – it would be good to get them done and in my stash. Thanks for your blog giveaway – congrats on the milestone.
I love the idea of the bucket list jar (for those smaller things that are easily accomplished without having to go very far to do so). I’ll make a point of doing that. But for my second bucket list entry I’d like to have annual outtings with my girlsfriends from long ago. We did really well with it for a while, but then our lives just got busy. We’d meet somewhere different each year, and since we all had different interests, we could do what we wanted during the day (but often times did things together), but the rule was we had to have dinner together. We had so much fun catching up, relaxing, and just getting away from our day to day busy lives.
I really want another reunion with my siblings.
To be able to wet emboss ! I bought a new heat gun and ep and it just never looks right/good. !
Another thing on my bucket list would be to work disaster relief with a group of Christian volunteers from my church. I hope to check this one off the list in the very near future.
Congratulations on 2 years!! I love seeing what you come up with in your cardmaking! Next on my bucket list is to send more “just because” cards to brighten others’ day because we are all struggling with something. Thanks
Jenny L.
Another thing on my bucket list is to attend a Pergamano Expo or other parchment craft show.
This is kind of morbid, but another thing on my bucket list, is to sew down my stash of fabric, so that when I do finally “kick the bucket”, my husband and children don’t have to contend with what to do with all that fabric! We’re talking boxes, and boxes,and boxes of fabric. My husband says that is another reason that I am not allowed to die before him. LOL!
Here we are again. Love the Nest today.
Another thing on my bucket list is to go kayaking.
OK, day five:
1. visit friends in Australia
2. go on a cruise
3. live long enough to have grandchildren, see them grow, and make cards with them
4. have my own craft room where I can make cards & goodies
5. travel and see the beauty of God’s creation first hand
Thanks again for this fantastic opportunity!
Hugs,
Snoopy :D
#4 Bucket List—Make a scrap book for each child of their family tree–back as far as I can go.
#5 to have my home organized and decluttered before summer.
Day 5
Go to CHA with friend from work.
Day 5 but my 4th comment.
I would like to always see the glass half full.
#5, swimming with dolphins and going up in hot air balloon!
#4 Bucket List would be to spend more quality time with my family.
Love your nest card. Happy, happy Anniversary!!!! 2 years, way to go!!! There are many things on my bucket list – one of the things I want to do this year is to put together a cookbook of my recipes for my kids and future Grandkids. I plan on stamping and scraping on each page.
#2 on my bucketlist to take my husband on a cruise. The last real vacation we had together was our honeymoon 24 yrs ago in Jamaica.
I’ve been a lurker on many sites. I so enjoy viewing others creativity especially when I don’t have the time to “play” for myself. I’ve never brought myself to jump on one of these blogs…so there’s one marked off my bucket list!
A very special item on my bucket list is to visit the Holy Lands and do the tour with a scriptorian.
I SOOOO love visiting your site…what a joy it is for many of us. Thanks for sharing your gift.
I would really love to get one of my cards published.
I would like to seriously improve my photographic skills. I love taking pictures & would like to take it to another level.
I would love to have another day to spend with my sister before she passed away from complications developed during her last treatment for Ovarian Cancer. I hope one day to see her in heaven! It would be wonderful if our family could heal and become close again even though we are separated by miles from one another.
I am amazed. So many comments. You are truly loved
I would like to jump into the world of blogging. There are so many amazing blogs out there (yours is AWESOME). I don’t know if I could hold a candle to you, but I would like to think that I could contribute something. Phew! I think I got this in just under the wire.
Cyndee
My day #5 wish: I would love to have a nice “large” room in the house to do my stamping & creating in where my friends could come over & play with me and have Becca as our guest to teach us how to make some of her amazing creations!
Karen M.
It is such a joy to read your Blog every day! Thank you for inspiring us in so many ways. Today’s entry to my bucket list would be to teach my grandchildren to be Christ’s witness to others–to visit nursing homes, to ring the bell for the Salvation Army, to help their neighbors, and to love others as the Lord would have them love.
I want to be like YOU .. touching so many people in a lifetime… that is my bucket list request today…. Facebook is as far “social” as I have gotten and try to post POSITIVE quotes and things each day to brighten others’ lives. It is a baby step! THANK YOU!
I want to have created a wonderful keepsake for my daughter (adopted from China) that gives her everything we know about her former life and also tells her how much she filled our life. We tell her this everyday…but being older parents, we won’t be around for many of life’s curve balls and I want her to have something to go back to that reminds her she is special.
Once again I am amazed with your talent to create such beautiful cards with stamps of nature. Just love the “Nest” stamp. I also enjoy your layouts using the spellbinder dies. It is very interesting how you layer the shapes to create such wonderful backgrounds and how to bring life to new design stamps.
Thanks you for sharing your wonderful ideas. You bring sunshine to all that visit your blog. I need to do this also in my little way. So I put “bring sunshine to others” in my bucket.
I started a list of “50 Things to Do Before I Die” years ago and have accomplished many of the items. One thing I want to do but have not done is gho to Alaska.
Thank you for your inspiration and the opportunity to win.
As I’ve read through some of the other bucket wishes, I count my blessings that I have been able to visit other countries & do some of the things people want to do.
Today, I would add to my list: be able to have a large enough home, enough land & money to be a rescue for little Yorkshire Terriers or other small dogs that need a safe & happy home.
Thank you Becca for all your wonderful work and care for others. You are a blessing!
I would like to write a book.
I don’t know about what, I’ve just wanted to since I was in Jr High, back when I read books like crazy for enjoyment. I don’t take much time to these days, and I miss doing so. But I’d still like to write one, someday. Maybe fiction or biography or ….
Visiting Williamsburg
Love everything you make! You’re exceptionally creative! Next item on my list is to learn Spanish. My husband is from Venezuela and Spanish is his native tongue. I speak very little and as a result I cannot converse with his family who he talks to every week. It’s quite a chore to communicate when we visit them, which I’ve done very little partly since it’s such a hardship. I would love to be able to talk with all our family, so one of these days I’ll learn, and it’ll make DH and his family quite pleased.
I want to do a skydive.
I’m terrified of hights so I need to say I can overcome this fear
Hilda
Another bucket list item of mine…own a cottage in a tropical area.
I thin St. Thomas Island would be on my Bucket list! With all the cold weather we are having that sounds really good right now! Thanks for sharing for the past two years!
Last day:
One more thing on my list is a very selfish one. I want to go to Disneyworld.
Thanks Becca for the last 2 years of ideas, help and encouragement and I am looking forward to lots more years of blogging from you.
stamp on…
To climb up Pikes Peak – or at least attempt
Good morning!
Well my last day of posting and I want to thank you for the gift you have already given me-reflection.
Looking back on some of the “lists” I am humbled by the hopes & dreams of my “sisters.”~
Some are very young, with many mountains to climb……
Some of us older, with just a few left. Although we are different, we are all linked by a common thread~sharing your beautiful artwork. May God grant each of you at least one request! This has been a wonderful experience for me. Thank you again Becca, for the opportunity to share my innermost thoughts~~
“The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.”
Ben Stein
Go ice fishing like I did with my Dad when I was a little girl! sUSAn
When I read the other posts, I am inspired!! Thanks for bringing this to all of us, along with your beautiful artwork. Another item on my list would be to drive a racecar!!
Want to spend more time with my dear friends as time hurries by quicker than we think.
#4. I would love to go to a warm place where there is ocean and beach all around me:)
#4 – To do volunteer work in another country.
My husband and I took a cruise/tour to Alaska last year. It was an awesome experience. My bucket list wish would be to take the same cruise/tour again with our young adult children so we could watch them experience a trip of a life time. Thanks Becca for all you do and all you share with us.
Thank you Becca for this week. It has been so interesting to read the items on the ‘bucket list review’ from all your fans. Some are things that will be easy to accomplish and some are things that are going to take great time and effort to be achieved but the majority seem to be about traveling to someplace which has some great significance to the individual! (Which includes a couple of mine as well)
I have gotten more that just artistic inspiration from your blog, I now have the inspiration to plan and work towards taking those trips and doing what I want to accomplish, not just dream about it!
Now my last item this week is not something I can do alone! I have six fantastic grandchildren and they range from 15 to 4. I would love to be able to hold at least one of my great-grandchildren and maybe more. I would love to see them go on to university and become well educated and have wonderful careers but I hope even more they are always happy and content with their lives and find a true love to make them fulfilled! Only time will tell on this one! :o) Cheers!
Even if I don’t win, you have inspired me to do a lot of thinking and to put feet to my words. I have tried to list things that are reachable, but all can only be done with God’s help. My last list item will be to get involved in the literacy program. Education is such a great tool and I would love to help make someone else’s dream come true and open doors for them. God is good all the time!!!
Hi Becca,
I love your ‘Nest’ card – it’s beautiful. Another thing on my bucket list is to spend less time on my computer, and to create more with all the extra time! I think a few people might be able to relate to this lol.
God bless,
Anne.
My fifth thing to do would be to explore more of the country I live in, taking in the glorious scenery and nature on my way.
I would like a new career where both my right-brain and left-brain talents can be used — together — in a fun, rewarding and successful way. I was an I/S project manager in a world where (artistic) creativity was not exactly appreciated. I hear having a brain that works on both sides is a somewhat rare trait. (LOL) Surely a dream job exists even for me!?! I’d like to find it…
I have always wanted to visit the Statue of Liberty……such a patriotic place to be……For me, the statue symbolizes many things we take for granted.
I would love to fky to CA., to visit my brother. I have flown in the past – never did like it. The last flight I took was the flight from you know where. Was scared to death. This has made me afraid to fly anymore so I would like to overcome this and go see my brother.
Congrats again! Sick last night, so now the 4th item on my list is to revisit New Orleans, where I graduated High School (my father was in the Coast Guard & the area where we lived was completely devastated by Katrina). I’d love to see how the city has rebounded, maybe reconnect with old friends & – of course – eat some fabulous food!
Well, seeing it’s Friday I guess this is my finale one to post.
Would like to loose just a few more pounds and to spend alot more time with my grandchildren
ColleenB.
Today on my list will be to share an encouragement card with someone. I have found that when unexpected it can really make someones day.
The third item on my bucket list is take my entire family on a vacation togeter. I think it would be so much fun to go on a cruise or go to Hawaii together.
Third entry. To donate a significant amount for some child, who has serious sickness so that my money would help to save his/her life.
As I was thingking about my bucket list today, I want to return to Red Sands Mission for another mission trip and see how it has progressed. It is dear to our hearts as is your work. Thanks for sharing.
Having the opportunity to take some workshops with you and to create the wonderful things you create. Thank you.
Another one on my bucket list is to see more of the US. I don’t travel much at all, and have only been to a few states …. I would love see more of our country.
DeniseB
#5 While reviewing my own Bucket list I noticed something very relavant to my age The list has changed so much over the years What was once important is no longer ! My wish is to start a nonprofit informational help and emotional support group for families who are suffering with Mesothelioma in the Upper Ohio Valley and then grow as much as we can so that people/families can learn and have a shoulder to lean on while they are going through this terrible devastating disease. Thank You
Bucket List–host a cookie exchange at Christmas. Doesn’t sound too hard, does it? But it always get so BUSY that time of year.
Another thing on my list would to be to finish all the cards and craft projects I have “in process”!
Where has this week gone? And what am I going to do tomorrow?
Thank you for filling this week with anticipation of “tomorrow” and what we might be able to make of all our tomorrows. There are far too few “motivaters” in our lives, but you have awakened something exciting in all of us and we appreciate that. Hopefully we will be able to contribute in our own ways to making life more enjoyable and productive for others, just as you have done for us.
Becky E
Last day to win, so my last listing (but I will definitely make a longer list!) of bucket list is to be more active. It’s so easy for me to get on the computer and look at blogs and even sit and make cards, but I don’t get out (granted, it’s COLD, here in TN!) but I need to make exercise a permanent part of my daily routine, along w/Bible study and prayer. So, I wish that my husband and I would take the time to walk or dance together everyday. Thanks, Becca for encouraging so many of us! May God bless you and yours as you continue to create, blog and share for HIS GLORY!
Next on my bucket is to donate money for the devastation in Haiti. May God bless the efforts of the many that have already helped. Hugs, Nellie.
Day 5
There are so many things to do and people to see, but I would love to see all my old friends again. I keep in touch with many people around the world, but may never see them again!
Carol xx
After events of the last couple of days I have had to move my priority list around a bit to add keep my computer virus free. I just had to have my system completely wiped out. Not fun.
My day #5
I would love to be able to travel with my husband and son. Instead of us just reading to our son about different places, we would love to actually take him to see the special places in the world.
Another thing on my bucket list is to retire at 55.
Congrats once again, Becca! I’d like to see the state of Hawaii someday. Thanks for the chance to win such great prizes, but thanks most of all for the inspiration you give!
One day I would like to travel the world with my husband.
Hi again Becca!
What a blessing you, your site and this challenge are. I have gained so much from this exercise by reading the entries and that has inspired me not only to think about what to do, but to put action to thoughts!
In the UK, I make and sell cards for charity and my nephew is helping me set up a website (very much under construction). I would love to get this up and running. It has been sitting on the back burner since the autumn and now is the time to make it happen! Now I’ve written it here, I’m committed!
Becca, I pray for renewed health for your husband and a time of peace for you and your family.
With Christian love
Anne (UK)
Hi Becca: From our snowed-in abode I wanted to tell you that I love the nest card you posted today. It’s beautiful. But I have come to expect nothing but perfection from you! My bucket list wish today is to visit Lourdes where the blessed mother appeared to Bernadette.
Have a good one!
Mary
#5 Bucket List – Plant & grow a garden with my children.
It would be fun to recreate my college quarter abroad and revisit all the places I went to and look up my German family in Munich.
Day 6 Bucket List: Spend lots more time with my Mom.
I have been following your blog for sometime now and it is always a joy to see and read.
Top of my bucket list is to try to have more original creative ideas!
Cracks are appearing in the wall but it is a slow business!
hey well another thing i would like to do is go to disney world for christmas with my family.
Hi there! Another thing on my bucket list would be to meet you Becca in person and craft with you! You are an amazing person and such an inspiration to me.
Another thing on my list is to visit England. This will be a hard one though. I’m terrified of flying & it’d take strong sedatives to get me on a plane. :) Happy Blog Anniversary! Thanks for all the talent you’ve shared with us on your blog.
So sad that I missed commenting a couple of the days. But another BL item for me is to see all of the 50 states!
It would be nice if we finished the basement. If we have a family, two bedrooms isn’t going to cut it. Where will I put my stamping supplies?!
I want to make a scrapbook page for each of the states that I’ve visited so far and then complete the book my touring the rest of the 50 states.
For my final bucket list day, I have thought about it a LOT and decided that overall, I would like to have helped to make the world a better place for having been a part of it. Thanks again for your part in making the stamping world a much better place Becca, by sharing your talent with all of us!
#6 A scrapbooking room all to myself – that would be great! Thanks for the chance to win!
Also on my list is to do something, anonymously, once a week – pay someones bill – put money in an expired parking meter – give an extra large tip – give gloves and hat to someone walking in the cold.
Love your work, Becca!
I would love to be able to hand someone a hundred dollar tip at a restaurant.
I would like to use all the stamps and stamping supplies I won at least once! LOL
I would like to be a blessing to my nephews.
I would LOVE to take a trip to the Holy Lands. To walk the ground that our Savior walked and to be baptized in the Jordan River. This is a dream of mine.
I can’t believe I didn’t proofread my comment. I meant to say I would like to use all the stamps and stamping supplies I OWN at least once! I’m such a doof sometimes.
Day 6 – “Bucket List” Items – only one day left and so many remaining items on my list…. here are a few:
1. Make a birth–> wedding scrapbook for each of my twins to give to them when each of them gets married
2. See my twins finish their education, become strong stable contributing adults, and be happily married and have children
3. Be able to retire (my husband and I) while we can still enjoy an active life, and retire peacefully and without financial worries ; start volunteering with all the organizations that I admire and appreciate so much
4. Organize (build?) an arts & crafts room so that I can always find and make the best use of all the gobs of stamping / crafts stuff I’ve got, and try to be as creative as you are!!
5. Travel around the world… many places on my bucket list
6. A big lovely selfish dream – have a “This is Your Life” day for me like the old TV show in England… where all the cherished people in my life, from childhood to adulthood, surprise me by showing up at some celebration or event… how I would love to see all my old family and friends who are scattered all around the world.
Thanks for letting us dream, Becca!
Another item on my bucket list is going on a tropical vacation with my family! My sights are especially on the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Even though I was born in northern Mexico, I have not had the opportunity to go that far south.
One item on my bucket list is to take my friend to Nashville for a week all expenses on me!! She is a country music fan and I would love to spend a week showing her around Nashville!!
i would like to visit all of my former foreign exchange students in their homelands.
Having babies is definitely on my list!
Post 6…. I really want to be on a design team…….
Post 7….the last should be post #7 sorry…..my cold is getting to me…
One thing I have always wanted to do is go to Europe. This July we are going to Italy and England. I guess I will be able to cross this off my list. Thanks for the very generous giveaway.
Day 6…I would like to be an encouragement to someone today…whether it be knowingly or unknowingly…to walk more like my Lord, today and everyday! It has been a great week, Becca…thank you for prompting our hearts to ponder what is important to us in life.
I would love to have a paper arts shop where I could offer classes and surround myself with tools, supplies and people who love working with paper in all its forms!
I would like to be able to take my Grandson to Disney World. He’s only 2 and not ready to take an extended leave from his parents yet…but, someday it will happen. In the meantime my husband and I want to travel our beautiful country in our RV and visit all the national parks.
Becca, here’s to many more years of your creative and inspiring blog!
You’re going to be reading these for weeks! Another item on my bucket list would be to buy my mother a house.
Thanks for the opportunity to win!

#5 – See the Grand Canyon. The pictures are beautiful and I am sure it would be even more breathtaking in real life.
I want to be a Blessing to all that I know and a LOVE !
Day 6 for me (can’t believe I’ve done every day – lol!) and what will I share from my newly formed bucket list today … ?
I think I need to take more care of my health so that I can achieve all the things I’d like to before I die.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this and it’s certainly made me think. Thank you Becca.
My next bucket list item is to learn sign language and become an interpreter
Thank you Becca, so much for sharing with us. As I said before, your creativity is truly God given and you share your beautiful gift with all of us. Truly your reward is in heaven!
Day 6 – To enjoy the most amazing sunrise and sunset in the same day!
My last b-list item is to make a little list each AM as to things I want/need to accomplish each day & to then actually follow it & cross off another accomplishment as I make may way through each day! Just helps make me feel good! Hope you all attain your goals in life!!!
Day 6: I would like to learn how to do some scrapbooking and make some albums for my family, mom and in-laws.
Day 6……I wish you traveled, Becca, and would come to St. Louis
and give a class!!!
b-day 5-try to make someone persons day better every day-this has been a fun project!
Go on a cruise!
I want to add BUNGEE jumping to my bucket list…. just because…. I’ve been zip lining and gliding….. it really makes you FEEEL alive.. like you are flying like a bird! Thank you, Becca!
I would love to visit Ireland. Also take a train ride…both with my hubby.
Well its the sixth item on my list . I would love to be good enough in my crafting to either be on a design team or get published. I would really like to excell at something in my life time, especially something that encourages people, using the gifts God has given me.
Blessings and Thank you Becca for this wonderful opportunity to read all these great ideas from everyone!
Blessings to all!
I would love to go to Italy wit my husband.
I would love to be able to take my mother to Las Vegas.
Thanks for my sixth entry.
I would love to go to Italy with my husband.
I have never been to the Grand Canyon or any of the National Parks, New England in the fall, etc…..I would love to travel and see all the wonderful sites in the United States.
I want to go to Paris at least one time in my life. I really, really want to go at Christmas time!
The next item on my bucket list is to learn sign language to communicate with a death friend.
Thanks for the opportunity to win your blog candy, I sure hope I win!!!
Becca,
Day….6, I would love to some day see the beautiful Red Wood Forest in California. Thank you so much for this chance to win your blog candy. As always you are just amazing.
Many many blessings,
~~Diane~~
I would like to meet & honor the living Nobel Peace Prize winners. I would like to follow their lead to promote a more peaceful & kind world. ~C8>
I would love to make a living doing something I love…stamping! :)
Have a great day!
I’m making lots of cards and donating them to a shelter for doggies who have no home. This is due to their owner throwing them out onto to the street, or sadly, their owner has passed on, and no one wants them.

What an unbelieveable response you are having!!
One more line on my bucket list reads this: stay young. Yes, it is important to stay young! My ole bod has had a rough time of it but I will continue to strive to learn new things to keep my brain youthful, curious and energetic.
My daily visits with you, Becca are a big step in the youthful direction!
You make the most beautiful cards I have ever seen! Thanks so much for sharing.
Irena, Poland
Another item in my BL is to be able to spend 6 months of the year in Mexico, every year.
Good luck to everyone (including me) :-)
Hi Becca. I guess this is the last day. It’s been fun thinking of things I would like to do. Actually, I would like to meet you and some of the other designers I admire and tour your craft rooms and see how you have everything organized. And maybe get some tips and tricks I can use to improve my own cards. Thanks for sharing with us.
Day 5 – My final item (although I believe I will continue to think on this and act) is to increase my giving to charities. Right now we give a minimum of 10% but my goal would be to give 20% + of our income. Thanks so much for sponsoring this “bucket list”. You have given myself and many the gift of dreaming & planning this week.
Rid house of all un need junk
take my grandaughter to Ice land
save enough money to send all grandchildern to a Christian college
Get moving and excersise more.
Something I really ‘must’ do is chose a local charity to donate my cards to, I make way more than I give away and have a little pile now so I will have to go and get that sorted.
another thing I really would love to do is read every Agatha Christie book.
Sandra
I signed up for an online class working with craft metal. It’s a challenge but I’m doing it. We just found out my granddaughter’s tumor in her brain may have moved over to her other eye. If that is the case, she may have to go through chemo treatments again. I need to find the strength to stay strong through this in order to help her stay strong. My renewed challenge is to not lose faith or give up no matter how down and bad it gets.
Becca, Thanks for the opportunity of the blog candy and to reminding all of us that our bucket list can’t wait!! Going to spend time with my 94 year old grandma this weekend! She lives alone and has the funniest stories of life back in the day!!
Next: I want to take piano lessons. It’s never too late and I’ve always wished I could play the piano.
I want to learn to water ski.
I’d like to add to my bucket list today to take an archaeology class.
Bucket list for Friday – I would love to learn to play the piano.
on my bucket list,, i wish i could put card layers together in a fantastic way,, really battling some times. i wanna make cards like You Becca,,,,
i wish for a peaceful country,,,food, houses and work for everyone.
My last bucket list wish would be to someday be half as good as you with papercrafting/card making. I am truly astounded by your talent and creativity. Thanks for a fun way to try to win some blog candy.
Wow, what a response!!! I guess you have quite a fan-base. Congrats, you desire it.
Becca
Congrats. I always look forward to your posts.
I would like to be on a design team someday. This has been fun Becca! Thanks!
Wow, another day to read everyone’s inspiring ideas and check out your blog Becca.
My bucket list for today would be a wish to inspire as many people as I know you do with your beautiful cards and projects Becca with your blogs. Thankyou always for sharing your creativity, talents and sharing your love of God, family and crafts.
God Bless!
Well, the last day, so all my “bucket list’ won’t be posted, but that’s okay, I’m adding to it every day anyway. Today’s the alternate day when I get to just add something kinda selfish but fun. I have a wonderful husband which I thank God for everyday. He’s been very ill this last year (can you relate?) and so as soon as I get him better i want to concentrate on spending “real time” with him. We enjoy travel and really like seeing so many of the same things, we love our friends and need to spend more time just having time with them and love giving time to our church. That’s my dearest wish that we’ll be able to spend sooooo much time together until we ride off into the sunset to the nursing home together.
Last day today. What is left in the bucket? Well to always be able to give to someone, whether it is love or food or gifts, or cards and to always have my sight to make loving cards and gifts.
Cazzy x
Donate my hand made cards to those that can use them.
I would like to volunteer someplace like Meals on Wheels. Thank you Becca for all the beautiful cards and things that you make and post for the rest of to view. I have enjoyed taking part in the Blog Candy and I would love to win but if I don’t I am happy for the winner. God bless you and have a wonderful Valentines Day.
Day 5..which is really Day 6 but, I didn’t have a chance to go on-line yesterday…
So here goes by Bucket List item #5… I would love to swim with the dolphins
Another item on the bucket list is to get my “studio” cleaned and organized so that I can get back to creating. What a concept!!
#6 To make a difference to someone, somewhere.
I want to be clever and talented. . .just like you! Well, that probably takes some innate ability that I don’t have, but I’ll keep working on it!
I am giving myself small deadlines to finish off some projects, with some well deserved perks at the end of each deadline. Hopefully this will get more things done!
Wish I had been able to enter every day… I read the very first day but didn’t really know how to get back here until you posted yesterday and your e-mail was in my inbox! LOL!! (OK… I’m not so blog savvy! ). I guess the most important thing on my “bucket list” is my goal for this year and that is to lose the weight I’ve gained over the past 4 years so I can get healthy again… that way I’ll hopefully live longer and have time to accomplish all the other things on my list! Thank you Becca for all the inspiration you give!!!
As Diane was just saying my goal is to loose weight too so that is for today ,I’m working very hard for that goal!!!!
Day 6. My 5th comment.
Well since I went to the doctors today.
Next on my Bucket list would be to get my act together.
I need to get my weight under control and off the medicene I will be starting soon. I am going to take my meds, but my goal is to not stay on the meds for very long.
Here it is the last day already!! Can you believe the responses?? How wonderful!! Next on my bucket list is to be happier with myself – – I am a good person and it is time I realize it!!
Congratulations again, Becca. It has been fun and the first time I have done something like this.
Eagerly awaiting the video on your weaving card.
Greetings! Another bucket item is to learn how to sew.
Thanks.
I visit your site daily. You are a very talented artist! My goal is to climb Mt. Washington.
I would love to learn to play a harp. However, obtaining a harp may be more of a challenge than learning to play one!
I would love to go to Hawaii!
Last day for the bucket list. I quess my last pick would be to be able to see, hold and love on my grandkids, cause I hope and pray that I will be blessed with some.
my 5th and final bucket item is that I would love to live closer to my grandchildren. It just isn’t the same being a long distant grandparent.
Hope you have a wonderful Valentines Day Becca and thanks for your inspiration daily.
Hello Becca,
My 6th bucket list item is to get my house decluttered and organized. I have been working on these things this past year, and it really takes a lot of stress out of life in general. By donating items I don’t use but hanged onto because of a sense of obligation, or knowing I paid such and such an amount, I am making it easy to access the things I do love and use. I just have to remember too, that my one and only child, and his children, aren’t going to want all my stuff, nor do they want to go through it if I become incapacited! I want them to be able to get to the importand stuff! I am not done yet, but this is an important issue to me, and I will persevere till I am done! :-)
Day 6 – to inspire 1/2 as many people as you have and I will be happy!
thanks again… I know each and everyone of us is very grateful to your for your talent that you share with the world and for inspiring us to take a look at our own list and life… Thanks BECCA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi there. This is my 3rd messge. one of the items on my bucket list would be to go on a mission trip with my best friend Teresa.
Thank you.
Jennifer L
Happy Valentine’s Day!!! I am hoping to loose more weight this year to add to the weight I’ve lost in the last 2..!!!
I would llike to go to California
Number 3 Travel America, Hope all has a Happy Valentines Day :)
Get down to my ideal weight – Bwwwwaaaahaaaaaa! That’s the hardest one yet. Thanks again Becca
I saw this quote at the bottom of somebodys’s sign-off. It went something like this:
“May we live long enough to use our supplies”. Tomorrrow I will be 51 years “young”.
That means I would have to grow as old as Methuselah! So, I guess my wish would be
that I use more of my supplies and that I use them more effectively.
Last day – I want to be a good and memorable role model to not only my children and grandson, but to the students at school.
This has been an inspirational journey with you. Bless you
Becca:
This is the final day for my Bucket List. I would like to inspire people, like you do, both spiritually and creatively. Thank you for being such a blessing in our lives.
Post #5. Congrats on your 2 years. Thanks so much for sharing your creativity and being such an inspiration to those of us out here.
You have also inspired me to create more and spend less time on SCS. hehe
Thank you again for inspiring me, with all you do.
last day! This has been fun and my list is getting quite long. Thanks for making me look deeper into things I really want to do. I love reading your blog you are very inspiring to me creatively and spiritually – but I’m sure you get that alot.
The last thing from my bucket list is to learn garment construction. I think it would be so wonderful to be able to design clothes. I don’t know the first thing about it, but I can use a sewing machine.
congratulations again!
My goodness, Becca, you have some serious reading ahead of you!for # 5 I second Susan above, I would love to make cards like you!!!!!!!!!!!! But seriously, I would like what I do make to be an encouragement to others and bring some cheer into their life
Well here we are on the last day, the last thing on my bucket list is to be better organized. I need to de-clutter my home and my life…lol.
Thanks for sharing all your talent with us! I still dream of having my own LSS!!
Today I want to challange myself to look for more opportunities to help others on a daily basis.
Next on my bucket list would be to lose weight and get into better shape so I can be around for my girls.
This has been so much fun, and hate that I missed yesterday but was not feeling well last night to get on computer.
I hope that I can become the christian, friend, neighbor, co-worker, employer, employee, sister and wife that God would be pleased with and so as everyone else. I strive to be a better person and try to be an inspiration to the ones around me.
Congratulations again on your anniversary and also “Happy Valentine’s Day”
I would like to take a trip to see the Crazy Horse monument. I’d like to see it completed. This has been fun all week, Becca. I will continue to add to my list, even though the contest has come to an end. It’s always good to have goals to work toward. Thanks for getting us all thinking, and congratulations again on two years of blogging. Keep it coming!
Congratulations on your anniversary! May you have many more!! My next item is to be more giving of my time, talent, and resources. Thanks for making us look within! Happy Valentines’ Day!
Jenny L.
No offense intended, but hope to someday enter a competition and beat you! I love the cards I find on your site, and I know it will be years for me to get close to that accomplishment, but hey, it’s a cause to work toward!!
It has been so amazing to read all of these! One selfish wish I have on my list is to take a cruise. We wanted to do one for our 25th wedding anniversary, but the time wasn’t right with kids in college and weddings. Maybe by the time our 40th rolls around?
I think another item on my bucket list would be to have a job that I really, really enjoyed in which every day I could make a difference in someone else’s life. Have a great weekend.
I had the opportunity to become a Christian during the wonderful
“Jesus Movement” of the 70’s. We had many gatherings at church,
coffee houses, and parks etc. One of those gatherings was a type
of woman’s fellowship that was really life changing. We worshiped,
prayed together, read the bible, enjoyed food, crafted, and shared
things of the heart. I would love to start one in my community and
see the Lord bless our time together!!
#6 To start a free scarpbooking card making program were you could come and make card learn to scrapbook and just meet new people with the same interest has you and all supplies would be free:}
#6 on the list of things I would like to do is visit Africa and go on a photo taking sarfari.
Thank You, Becca for allowing us to have a chance to win your awesome candy with more than 1 comment. That is so generous of you.
well day 6 is here and for my last b-list item I’d like to do more to help animals. I support various rescue shelters, etc. but would somehow like to be more involved. Haven’t figured out how yet but we’ll see!!
thanks for the chances to win and congratulations on your blogiversary!
would love to have my husband stay in remission forever!
Congratulations on 2 years of successful blogging. Thank you for sharing so freely of your many talents.
Becca,
Thanks so much for your wonderful inspiration to all of us. I have so many items on my list. I wish I could take more time for myself, and learn to not feel guilty in doing that.
Day 6…I would love to have more time to spend with my friends making cards and having fun.. Thanks for sharing your beautiful cards with us. You are an inspiration to us all
Hike the Grand Canyon from rim to rim.
I would like to scrap all the pictures I have taken during my lifetime…at least, the most important ones, especially those of my son (now 19). Thank you for sharing all your beautiful works of art, you are truely blessed.
One of items on my bucket list is to complete all of my unfinished projects.
My nex bucket list item is to have more patience.
I’ve started attending Bibly Study classes and hope to come to know God well enough to recognize when He is speaking to me.
Great items , great ideas, keep them coming.
Thanks for all your sharing.
Candy Meyers
On my “bucket list” is a trip to a local stamp store, (owned by one person) and to buy all the customer’s purchases for one hour! What a blast that would be!
I need to get more exercise to improve my health. I have fibromyalgia so movement is difficult but so beneficial.
Thanks for all inspiration over the past two years and I hope and pray it will continue fir many more years.
This is one of my husband’s bucket list items, but I do share it as well…we would really like to go to the Bonneville Salt Flats and see some world records broken!
Last day: To learn to fly a helicopter!
Congraulations on two years of blogging. You take blogging to another level. Your really inspire me to try new things. On my bucket list is to be more patient with people and to do as much scrapbooking and card making as I can.
The next bucket list item is to quit putting things off. Thanks again for the chance to win you fabulous prizes.
fabulous candy!!!…on my bucket list would be to go to the therapeudic waters of the blue lagoon in iceland…i have a number of health issues and would love to benefit from its waters…
Last day ~ I want to try to always remember to tell those that I love how much they mean to me. It sounds so simple ~ yet we all get so busy that sometimes we forget to thank those who mean so much to us.
Hope that you and your hubby have a Happy Valentine’s Day!
R/
I have been trying to decide what else I want on my bucket list. The most important thing I need to do before I can accomplish anything else would be to have more, and consistent time with the Lord and in the Word.
Ok… bucket list item #6: I hope that I finally figure out what it is that I want to be when I grow up so I can go back to school and finish my degree. I enjoy doing so many things but I still haven’t figured out how to translate that into a college degree. Maybe I just need to speak to a counselor who can help me figure out a plan. Then I need to figure out a plan so I can get back into school and FINISH!
Fifth on my bucket list…find a way to get back into teaching, my first love.
Thanks, Becca!
My last wish item (and thank you again for this wonderful idea to post our lists), would be that people *not wait* on their *important* bucket list items.
I recently found out that I have a recurrence of my cancer & I am so thankful I have been able to do so many of the things I wanted to do. I wish for continued guidance from the Lord.
Thank you for sharing your work with us. I hope you know how much it lifts us up!
Day #6~ Relationship Building~ I would like to go to Mexico to meet distant relatives and gather family history to add to my ancestry tree. It would be such a blessing to build family bridges.
WOW, just look at how many people you have that watch your blog! No wonder I am inspired by you. I would like to turn into a morning person. No, I don’t think that one will work for me. LOL!
Get the whole family on a vacation together.
Thank you for encouraging us to make a bucket list. I really want to get the boxes of family photos scanned into the computer. After my father passed away Sept. 2008 I asked to get all the photos. I come from a large family and I would like to share the scanned photos with the whole family. I would love to get these done and get them burned onto DVD’s for 2010 Christmas gifts.
I have so enjoyed checking your blog every day to see the beautiful cards you have designed. You are so creative!
Still want to go to Paris!!!
Day #6! My goodness Becca, just look at all of these awesome responses. This was such an inspiring lesson. For my last day I am so unsure of what it would be because there are so many. Maybe the most important would be that I have a deeper faith in God,(It has been quite lacking lately) or to forgive more, to love more freelyor to be more accepting and to live my life without regrets.
Thank you Becca for inspiring me take a good look at my life!
Karen M.
I would like to travel across the US with my husband and our camper. Also visit family and friends along the way!
Thanks Becca for the inspiration!
# 5. Today my list item is to always work in some way to help girls and women believe in themselves. Sometimes it is hard to remember that teaching IS a very important, valuable thing, when so many people believe that a huge paycheck is the true measure of success.
OOPS. I think I missed the deadline. Had run out of wishes anyway.
Want to do more volunteer work with older citizens.
another thing from my bucket list is to use up the lace and ribbon I have in my stash and also the new stuff I am going to buy Hehe because you can never have too much ribbon and lace can you.
Ribbon and lace are another thing on my bucket list – that is to use as much of it as I can from my stash and all the new stuff i’m going to have to buy- hehe- because you just can’t have enough lace and ribbon can you and never have the right one for a particular project.
Becca :o)
I so enjoy your blog!! It is God centered and you do such inspiring projects!!! I’m inspired to keep trying when I see your work!!! One of my goals is to make an easel card and to take advantage of the many blogs and sites that teach us how to make such beautiful projects!!! God bless you, Becca in your ministry!!! Hugs, C:o)
Becca
Your work is beautiful. You are a marvellous lady and an inspiration to others.
My bucket list would have to be a trip to Egypt.It’s been my ambition all my life.
Hilda
My sixth bucket list item is going for a hot-air balloon ride and
attending the Albuquerque Hot-Air Balloon Festival.
Hi Becca,
Something else on my bucket list is to use products from my stash rather than hoarding them – it doesn’t matter if I can’t replace a particular product because it’s no longer made – there are are always beautiful new products coming onto the market.
Bless you.
Anne
[…] I also said that I would announce the winner to my Blogaversary Blog Candy this morning. What was I thinking??? There were over 1500 entries and I promised a bonus if the winner left a list item every day, so it looks like I have a bit of reading to do, lol! I’ll post the winner back here on Sunday morning. Thanks for your patience, and if you have not read the entries for the Blog Candy, they are amazing – you can see them HERE. […]
Thanks for holding this contest. It gave me a reason to actually *think* about a bucket list.
#5- Learn to photograph well. First, I will need to get the proper camera and say, “Smile!” Blessings.
I have been heartbroken about the problems children face in
school. I would like the help with a ministry called Stop Bullying.
They go into the school to provide information and do workshops
with the children. At the end they are offered an opportunity to
sign a contract that they will not bully.
You always create such beauty with your designs. I always appreciate what you do. Thank you!!
I love this website, truely the best ever!! Next item on my bucket list is to travel to Paris, France, Italy in a month. Thanks again for an opportunity for blog candy.
Tour the holy land.
2 minutes to go…. I want to have a crafting business :)
Today I was reminded of the importance of focusing on Christ’s
return. I definitely want to be doing something that I would
want Him finding me doing!!
I would love to go back and finish my studies
If possible I want to see my children grown and independent. I would love to see grandchildren, in their own time.
niceeeee how much ?
