Amazing Paper Grace

Owls are my favorite trend that’s come back in style. I’m too young to have experienced the owl trend in the 70’s but I’m so into them now! I started a collection a year ago and have fun looking for them everywhere I shop! :)ReplyCancel

In these hard times, I too am glad that saving is in fashion. I clip coupons, & shop sales…..anything I can do to save a little. One thing I never want to see come back would be…..poodle skirts! I love them when used as nostaliga, but not for every day! Am I dating myself?ReplyCancel

All I can say is that I am so happy bell bottoms have not come back. I did not like them as a teen-ager and I don’t want to see them ever again.ReplyCancel

I’m grateful that gardening is back in style, although I guess that it never went out of style in some parts of the country! I’d love to see kids playing in their neighborhoods come back in style. Seems like everything is so scheduled now!ReplyCancel

Uh oh Becca – I LOVE BIG HAIR! :D LOL

I love felt, it’s so cool and trendy!ReplyCancel

I hope spike heels go out of style and never come back!ReplyCancel

The clothes, makeup and hairstyles from the late 80’s. Talk about fashion faux paux!!! :)ReplyCancel

Knitting and crochetting are back , however, I hope granny square hats and ponchos stay in the past.
I would love to see ladies hats come back in fashion. The style of hats they wear for the Kentucky DerbyReplyCancel

I remember the white-ish lipstick that was the “in thing” when I was in my teens. I so wanted to wear it – but my Mom would not let me. As I look back, Mom was the one with the better taste!ReplyCancel

I hope the pop pop hair style never come back man I hate to see myself in pictures when I was little thanks Becca for a chance to winReplyCancel

I love that some of the crocheting I use to do with thread is now gaining popularity but I could definately do without bell bottom pants!
Thanks for the chance to win and congrats on the blog hits!ReplyCancel

I hope the big square collars come back in style and I hope real short tops that don’t even come to your waist don’t.ReplyCancel

I really don’t think it will ever go out of style, but family is the best. I hope it never goes out of style.ReplyCancel

Hey Becca, no blog candy please, I’ve got enough . . . LOL! I just wanted to leave a little love and tell you your book is absolutely “fabulous” darling! Truly, it’s gorgeous and I love it! I also had to leave a response to this post as well. Please NO return of goucho pants ever!! I look back at those old photos of me and nearly die of embarrassment! Big Hugs, JerriReplyCancel

I would love to see “freebies” in the laundry soap. My Mom was always getting glasses, dish towels, & dishes. I would love the Big hair days. Always ro be gone is knee hi’s and shorts! yuk!
Congrats to your fabulous milestone!

Avocado and Harvest Gold appliances! Ugh! I’d really like to stick with white forever, but will probably have to go with stainless when our over-worked fridge, stove and dishwasher give out. Congrats on the 8 million!! That’s a BIG number!!ReplyCancel

Congrats on the milestone Becca…..I too am happy that being frugal has made a comeback, but I have always been a saver and coupon clipper. I also love that more people are taking recycling seriously and doing their part to be more green. I see my neighbors that have never recycled at the recycle center and it makes me soooo happy.

I hope Disco NEVER makes a comeback. Sorry to all the Disco lovers.ReplyCancel

Shoulder pads! Ugh!!
We thought they were so cool at the time.ReplyCancel

WOW – the candy looks awesome…

what i wouldn’t like to see come back – lycra cycling shorts – don’t think they looked good on me first time never mind now…. what WOULD i like to see come back – ABBA!!! Then it would be really trendy to know all the words to their songs!!!

Hi Becca,
I’m happy to see the comeback of the little knitted/crocheted flowers. I crochet so guess I should get to work on that. However, I donated all of my yarn to the Senior Citizen place up the road. Didn’t think I’d need it. I am into paper now. The joke’s on me. Have to talk to Mom or my BFF for their extras. This falls in to the “frugal” category, too, I think. Beautiful work. You’re amazing.
Peace, Becky Johnson

I’m so happy to see frugal come back too even though I never forgot to use my coupons (that meant more $$ for stamping). I never want to see hot pants come back in style. They may have been ok back when but now the ladies need to cover more up.
CONGRATS on yourmilestone & book and thanks for the chance to win some blog candy..ReplyCancel

My cancer is gone and I hope it NEVER comes back.ReplyCancel

Wow! What a milestone. But you really deserve it!!! Oh my, what would I like to see come back. Well, I have to admit that most of you have said a lot of things I would like to see come back, as well as what I would like to see disappear or never come back. I hate stilleto heels. I love that frugality has returned, caring about our environment! I also love that gardening has made a comeback. What I would love to see make a comeback is modesty and the Gibson girl look. I loved that look and know it must give my age away. I am 72 years young.ReplyCancel

i’d like to see boys in their baggy pants with their underwear hanging out disappear!
and i’m glad to see that we are becoming a less “disposable” society again. i don’t think i ever want to darn a sock again, but ……..lol!
thanks for the chance at some great blog candy!

I would like to see the low cut jeans and the really baggy jeans go out of style…like NOW! Would be fun to have the corner drugstore with the soda fountain come back in! Congratulations Becca!!! And, thanks for the chance to win….sure want that zig zag stamp look!
Jan CastleReplyCancel

I am very happy to see the return of lace ribbon and crocheted flowers to use on handmade cards. Thank you for the opportunity to win some yummy looking candy. Take care.ReplyCancel

I’m glad that garage sales made a comebackReplyCancel

I’d really like more of the classy clothing to get back in style, like what Jackie Kennedy wore in the 50-60s.. I’d loved to live in those decades, with the beautiful wiggle dresses and everything.. :)ReplyCancel

I would sure love to see the old time “family values” return – you know, courtesy, tv shows without all of the violence, cursing, etc., leaving your doors unlocked and your car windows rolled down. Back to how things used to be in the “good old days”. Thanks Becca for the chance to win.ReplyCancel

wouldnt be upset if we never went back to bell bottom jeans, bubblegum music, big shoulder pads, and big hearReplyCancel

I’m so happy that being a stay at home Mom is acceptable again~~my daughter was a career woman who traveled all over the world and when Annie was born she never hesitated to give it all up to be a mother. I was so proud of her!ReplyCancel

Congratulations!

I totally hope that mauve never makes a comeback. I saw enough mauve in the 80’s to last a lifetime!ReplyCancel

Hi Becca!!!!

Congratulations for everything!!! 8 millions hits??? You deserve !!! Your work is so creative and you´re so talented. I am here at least once in a day!!

I wish to live at the same country as you to be easier to get this bookand the magazines where you show your work.

As Shirley, I also would love to see hand written thank you notes come back in style. Letting someone know how much they appreciate a gift or how much you love them would be wonderful.

Thanks for this opportunity!!! Who knows??? Hope never die, don´t you think so???

Have great week and a marvellous week end.

loved the book so stunning. what i hope never comes back are those awful leisure suits made of polyester from the 70’s. argh! jsut noticed i’m not alone in this post. go ahead and add shag carpetting too. eeeeeeeeeewReplyCancel

Well I hope the ringing telephone never comes back. I remember when we were small that my parents phone rang really loud….we spent a lot of time in the front and back yard either doing yard work, growing veggies or playing softball or basketball, so the ringer on the phone was on high. That shrilling ring still makes me cringe. The phones of today sound like music!!! Thanks for the chance of blog candy. You’re the best Becca!! Teresa E. in S. CaliforniaReplyCancel

Hi, Becca. I loved your book, and congratulations on 8 million! Wow! I agree with Tania about the mullets!

I love your blog candy, I need it! I’m Queen of a Red Hat Society group, (crown) and my vice-queen loves fleur-de-lis! I would like to see my children come back to God. I would never like to see the 17-year cicadas come back, and they’re due back this month! Yikes! Virtual hugs!ReplyCancel

Hi Becca,
something I never want to come back is the memory of my partner being dragged out of the surf unconscious and being worked on by the life savers for 40 minutes with CPR and heart starters until the paramedics arrived, he actually died on the beach and was revived. A week in ICU and a long time to get back to normal he is now 100%.
Someone was looking out for us that day.
Thanks Becca Rene xoReplyCancel

I’d hate to see olive green shag carpet return–ugh!!ReplyCancel

Polyester clothes are at the top of my list, right above leisure suits–the 80’s was real bad for fashion. Congrats Becca –love you creationsReplyCancel

No go-go boots please! Or Leg Warmers! Makes me laugh–love reading all your comments. Thanks for the chance to win.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca. I’m not surprised at the 8 million hits. Your work is beyond gorgeous! I am waiting for good manners to come back into fashion. And personal responsibility. And consideration for others. All the best. JaneReplyCancel

I wish pretty shoes would come back, they all seem to look orthopedic! LOL!ReplyCancel

I wish they would make movies like they used too — you know the Rock Hudson/Doris Day/Cary Grant, John Wayne type. It seems like nowadays they can’t make a movie without gore!!!

Congrats on 8 millions hits but it really shouldn’t be a surprise! Your cards are awesome and I love your tutorials. You voice is so soft and instructions so precise.

Can you tell, I LOVE YOUR BLOG! Would love to win your candy!

Keep on stampin’!!!!!!ReplyCancel

Hi Becca
Love your book with all your beautiful creations.
I would love to see my grandparents again, I miss all the family stories they use to tell us as when we where youngsters.
Hugs
DonnaReplyCancel

Don’t ever bring back those ‘madris’ shirts…they bled all over everything so had to be handwashed and then IRONED…Diane McBrydeReplyCancel

I’m glad crafts like crocheting have made a comeback among some people. I hope I never see espadrille sandals that tie around your calves again. I cringle when I see pictures of my teenaged self wearing them.ReplyCancel

I’m hoping that bell bottoms never make a come back!ReplyCancel

It was so much fun to read some of the other responses. I actually like bell bottoms. They are in style now and just called flares. They actually make your hips look smaller. I also liked shoulder pads – something else that made your lower half look smaller. Bring them on!!!!!!!! I too would like hats to make a comeback – Oh well that will never happen. I also read about candy. Oh all those great penny candies.

Thanks for the opportunity.ReplyCancel

Got to agree with the bell bottom comments. Loved those and “hot pants” when I was young and thin, but–oh my, not today!ReplyCancel

Congratulations on 8 MILLION hits, Becca! Your book was absolutely awesome! I am happy to see that handmade items are totally in demand again! Love all the beautiful flowers and stitching and crocheting going on! Also love the focus on home and family! I won’t mind if culottes, palazzo pants, and curly perms don’t ever make it make on the scene! Thanks for the chance at the fantastic blog candy and also for sharing your incredible artistic talent every day!ReplyCancel

May leisure suits rest in peace! LOL Love your site. We are now carrying JustrRite stamps because of your work:) One of our customers sent me your link and I fell in love with your stuff instantly. You are so talented!ReplyCancel

I am glad to see home canning of foods has made a come back. Last week a friend and I canned 33 quarts of bread and butter pickles – the first time in our lives either one of us had ever canned anything. Your blog is so great, Becca, and your work is beyond beautiful. Congratulations on 8 million hits.

I’m thrilled that capris ( pedal pushers ) are back ! A middle aged woman loves to be able to classily hide those thunder thighs !!ReplyCancel

Dear Becca, I never want to see poverty come back to our country like it did in the depression and I’d like to see more production and manufacturing jobs come back. As for fashions, I never thought double knits would be popular again , yuck, but they seem to be again, I hate polyester and I love cotton anything. I’d like to see ladies hats be popular again so I would not nook so weird when I want to wear one!! Especially if my hair is a little dusty because I’ve been crafting all day and need to run to town for something. Your book is very exciting!!ReplyCancel

I get such a kick out of peasant blouses in the stores now and also peace signs. Too funny! It really is true that what goes around comes around again. If I’d only known…ReplyCancel

Congrat, what a milestone indeed! It would be good to see movies like they used too make, you know all the wonderful stars like John Wayne, Doris Day, Dean Martin and his sidekick Frank. It seems like now, they can’t make a movie without gore!

Your Sister In Christ:ReplyCancel

This was so fun reading all the comments. I remember every end of summer getting all of the green stamps together and all of us would sit around the kitchen table pasting them in books. Then we would take the books to the shoe store and get our new Buster Brown school shoes!!!

When we were kids, on the weekends we would play cards with Mom. Well, here it is and we get together about every 6 weeks for ‘card night’ with all 3 generations! Love it!!ReplyCancel

I would like to see all the credit card debt disappear and people start living within their means. Do we all really need the big house and the nice cars in the driveway and a housefull of stuff. I would like to see a more minimalistic way of life come back where people value what they have and take care of instead of buying more and more. (Well except for stamps and scrapbooking stuff of cousres.) LOL.

Congratuations on your milestone. You do fabulous work.ReplyCancel

What a great milestone!! I really love your blog – your creativity is just astounding! I would love to see the come back of Christian morality to our country. Leggings and avocado kitchen appliances can stay gone forever! Thanks for you, Becca!ReplyCancel

Your blog and card projects are always so beautiful. Thanks for all you share. I look forward to seeing your bog everyda! Glenda JReplyCancel

I wish Mars Bars would come back…I so loved the almonds scattered throughout the nougat center…yummmm!

And, I have to LOL at Sally for the ex-boyfriend comment…hilarious!

Definitely don’t bring the mullet hair style back!ReplyCancel

I was watching clips of some of the old NBA basketball players. Boy, am I glad those awful short shorts they wore for uniforms are not the typical uniform for today’s players. Now they wear them down to their knees! I can’t decide which is worse! Pants on the ground is as bad as the tight tights some wear today! :)ReplyCancel

OMGosh! I am so glad “bermuda” shorts are back in….that is the longer length (knee) otherwise I wouldn’t be wearing shorts. I definitely do not want to see teased hair come back in style!!!! Thanks, Becca, for all of your inspiration….whenever I lose my mojo I can always come to your blog and find it again :)ReplyCancel

I love that capris are back in style–so much more attractive than short shorts – which I would love for them to go away and never come back along with mini skirts–just not flattering for most people!ReplyCancel

Hi Becca! I am glad the Peace sign is back in style but wish that yellow smile face would never come back! he he he! thanks for the chance to win GREAT candy! :) hugs, JaneReplyCancel

Thank you for another chance to win some goodies. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again is my motto LOL! Congrats on all the hits!

I must say I have enjoyed watching the Little House on the Prairie series with my daughter this past year or so. She just LOVES the show (was a pioneer for Halloween) and I have so enjoyed revisiting it myself. I dearly wish they would produce morally sound shows like that these days!!!! Michael Landon wasn’t too hard to look at either LOL!ReplyCancel

How funny to read everyone’s comments : ) I wouldn’t mind the skinny jeans or mid-/low- rise pants or short shorts going away! It doesn’t help that people don’t think twice (or look) before going out in them, they are just freaky to look at, on some people more than others!! I have seen some bell bottoms advertised in the past year, tho different name. Funny looking but not for me either!ReplyCancel

Hi Michelle.

Would love to see the styles of dresses from the 1940’s come back. Love themReplyCancel

Hi Becca, Love your book! I would love for you to publish a book of your cards

I really hope that polyester pant suits and men’s leisure suits do not come back, yuk!ReplyCancel

As a teacher, I love to see my students come back when they’re older and visit during open house at school. But, I don’t want skinny jeans to ever come back. Wait- I think I’m too late! Oh well . . .ReplyCancel

Hi Becca, Love your website and all the beautiful cards and things you make. Thanks also for the Becca Bits and all the help you give us. One thing I do not want to see come back is the wringer washing machine.( When I was a child I got my arm caught in the rollers and it pulled it all the way to my armpit before my Mom could get it unplugged – very painful – still have the scars from it). Also don’t want to see teased hair or polyester clothes.ReplyCancel

wow, 8 mil. is a huge number – a testament to your creativeness. i’m with most of the gals and do not want polyester leisure suits back in style or mullets or big hair in women or avocado green and harvest gold appliances. i am glad being thrifty is back in now i don’t look like i am cheap.ReplyCancel

I am glad that being frugal is in style and I hope that bell bottoms don’t come back in style and lacy collared tops and dresses.ReplyCancel

Congrats on your new milestone! I am so glad I happened upon your blog sometime ago. Love all your art.

I never want to see parachute pants come back!!Yuck yuck yuck.
I love to see people are gardening.ReplyCancel

What I love to see disappear from the planet is the common use of the “f” word. It is sooo repulsive and vulgar.

What I love to see return…tv shows that are filled with family values instead of teaching our children to act wild and think that violence is acceptable.

ReplyCancel

Oh I think you’re going to get a lot of response to this! I’ve never seen that punch, I love it!

OK I would love to see my skinny body from the past back again, and I never want to see this fat again!!!!ReplyCancel

Congrats!!!! Good for you Becca

I would love to see come back is : manners, Respect, and a chance for our Children and Grandchildren to have a future.ReplyCancel

Those dutch boy hair cuts that I had to wear. I didn’t want it that was the hair cut that I was given. Imagine dutch boy hair cut and and eyeglasses with oval shaped with points on the end i always looked like I was ready to take flight. Good luck everyone. As always Becca. TFS!!! :-DReplyCancel

Congratulations on your milestone! I too would love to see consideration for others come back. Unfortunately, the one thing that I never wanted to see again were the dresses that barely cover a girls rear. Thankfully my girls don’t like them.ReplyCancel

I am glad that homemade crafts and canning and baking have made such a huge comeback, but the 80’s can stay away forever…ReplyCancel

Wow! 8 million and yet I’m not surprised!
I too am wanting good manners and respect to come back..
Thanks for the chance to win such goodies!ReplyCancel

I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT IF EVERYONE DECIDED TEXTING WAS NO LONGER THE THING TO DO. INSTEAD WE COULD SIT ON OUR FRONT PORCHES THAT SEEM TO HAVE COME BACK IN STYLE, AND JUST TALK TO ONE ANOTHER.ReplyCancel

First, Becca, congrats on your web site milestone. If more people like me discover your wonderful site and your beautiful cards, that number will keep growing bigger and faster! I’d like to hear a genuine “thank you” accompanied by real eye contact from check-out clerks in every store. That’s what I’d like to see come back. “Have a good one!” or “Here you go!” just doesn’t do it for me — guess I’m old-fashioned.
Thank you for all your ideas and inspiration. God bless.ReplyCancel

I would agree with your daughter about not wanting stirrup pants to come back in style. When you have chubby stubby legs (like mine), you look terrible in stirrip pants. I like a little bit of a shoulder pad, but I wouldn’t want the huge ones that make you look like a football player to come back.

Congratulations on your book. WOW, what a great display of your talent. Congrats on the 8 million hits!!! Thanks for the opportunity to win some goodies!!!ReplyCancel

Wowza! Eight million hits. I can’t even get my hads around that number. Anyway on to your question… I hope BIG shoulder pads like the ones we wore in the 80s never come back! Thanks for the chance.ReplyCancel

I hope bell bottom pants never come back – in my younger years it was great – I didn’t have a middle that looked like a bell!! But now!! No way.ReplyCancel

I am so happy that tiered skirts came back in style – just when I need them to look fashionable running after two busy boys!! :) Absolutely LOVE the punch that you are giving away. And I’d love to have a yo-yo maker!! They are so delightfully vintage and remind me of my sweet Grammie. Thank you for sharing your fabulous ideas with us. I am currently implementing your ribbon storage idea. God bless!ReplyCancel

Congratulations, Becca! Eight Million page hits ! While I think “Amazing”, I’m also thinking “I’m not surprised” !

I am so glad that many of the ‘home skills’ are coming back into style – cooking from ‘scratch’, knitting, sewing, canning. I have such delight in sharing those skills with my grandchildren. I’m grateful that those high heeled boots that guys used to wear in the 70’s has not returned.

Thank you for sharing your happiness with us.ReplyCancel

Congrats on your whopping milestone! I know that I am one of those who visit your site at least once a day and sometimes more. You always have such cute things and such out of this world ideas! I have had such a laugh reading some of the things above. I wore hip huggers and middrift(?) tops when I was 16 or so and I know my Mom hated them and now they are back in style along with short shorts and I hate it when my granddaughter wears them – I now sound like my Mom and know how she felt then! I would like to see people being more considerate toward each other and following the Golden Rule. Thanks for a chance to win some wonderful, non-fattening, candy.ReplyCancel

Congrats on your milestone. I cannot tell you how happy I was when Disco died. I will be mortified if it ever comes back.ReplyCancel

I would love to see a candy bar Hershey’s made…it was a triple decker chocolate bar….it had milk chocolate, white chocolate and then dark chocolate…all stacked…yummy!!!

What I don’t to see come back is elephant pants…yuck!!!ReplyCancel

Here’s to the next 8 million.
(clink)
Actually it is not a thing that I discovered recently but a person. I am thankful that fuzzy eysight and warm hearts never go out of style.ReplyCancel

yay for blog candy!ReplyCancel

I love that gum wrapper chains have come back. I remember making them when I was a kid……all those Wrigley’s wrappers! Lately I’ve seen some amazing purses made from them. And speaking of gum, I’d LOVE to see Fruit Stripe gum come back.ReplyCancel

What fun reading all the responses!! I would like good manners and good work ethic to come back. The kids these days do not appreciate the value of money! I am glad homemade cards are back in vogue!ReplyCancel

wow, nice blog candy again!
I wish the bad economy would go out and the flourishing one come back in style. I miss it!! I have maybe 10 years until retirement and I would really love it if my investments would take a jump–UP of course! Another related issue I would like to ‘go out’ is the massive waste of government spending in areas where there is no long range affect–like ‘giving quick money’ instead of ‘making permanent jobs’…
congrats on the 8 mil mark! You certainly deserve it–your blog is awesome!ReplyCancel

Congratulations Becca on not only your 8 million hits but also the adorable book. Like others, I visit your sight at least once a day, more if I really am looking for some elegant inspiration. I love your work.

I would love to see two things come back. Gas at a $1 a gallon and, gasp, common courteousy to each other. I grew up in the days of yes mam, no sir, please, thank you, ladies first, remember?

As always, you are very generous in your offering of blog candy. It would be wonderful to receive it. Thank you again for all you do, your inspiriation and friendship.ReplyCancel

I love all your card and boxes idea! Your daily email is opened excitedly. Congratultions on your success! I’m really glad that flipflops have come back — I love to wear them in doors and out!ReplyCancel

I hope the shag carpet I had, those big ugly eyeglasses I wore, and starched clothes never come back, but I miss the small waist and flat stomach I once had. I do hope the future will hold more love for God and country, more modest dressing, and less bad language.
Your book was beautiful, and congrats on the 8 million mark!ReplyCancel

I wish sitting outside visiting with the neighbors would come back…in my neighborhood, none of my neighbors are friendly and it’s so sad, cause I miss that!ReplyCancel

Congratulations on so many hits!!! I hope never to see another pin curl as long as I live. :-)ReplyCancel

I’d have to say that bell bottoms AND stirrup pants should never make a comeback. Also, big hair and blue eye shadow should stay in the 80s!ReplyCancel

WTG on your milestone Becca! It doesn’t surprise me a bit that you have that many hits, you do wonderful work and you are an inspiration to us all, every day!
I am really happy healthy eating is back, hopefully if I eat all those great foods again, I’ll get the body I had back, and then I too would want the fat to stay away forever! but in all seriousness, can we close the door on saddle shoes too?!

Thanks for everything Becca, my special prize awaits me almost daily in my in box, telling me you’ve been at it again. BlessingsReplyCancel

congrats on 8 million visits!!! wowwie, thats amazing =)
i wish hot pink and flourescent yellow and green spandex never come back! LOL

hugs
juliReplyCancel

I hope parachute pants never come back in style. I also agree with your daughter on the stirrup pants. Congrats on the milestone.ReplyCancel

Congrats, Becca, on 8 million hits! We love seeing what you are doing.
And what a generous give a way. (I have duplicates of several things too that I give away rather than return. Glad I’m not alone!)

I never want to see another pair of polyester, plaid pants again. Even worse, when I was ready to get rid of them, my grandmother took them and wore them.ReplyCancel

Congratulations on the 8 million mark and your beautiful book. Wow! You are truly an inspiration!!

I’d like to see some decency return to television – the violence, sex and language is terrible. Where has our value system gone? I want it back.ReplyCancel

Wow, Becca, congrats on your blog milestone. You’re an inspiration and a creative resource, that’s for sure. I want to see Fizzies come back (those were the little tablets that moms would pack in their kids lunches … in the 60s … with a thermos of water, and at lunch we’d pop the tablet into the thermos and have instant fizzie grape, cherry, lemon, punch or rootbeer —yum, my favorite). Would not want to have bell bottoms come back. Or white patent leather boots. Or hot pants. My ex-mother-in-law wore a white hot pant set, WITH white patent leather boots, WITH a floor-length lace vest, to her 4th wedding.ReplyCancel

Babies, babies, babies, but this time grandbabies. I just became a grandmom and I am so excited. Little girl, or should I say big girl, 9 lbs, 10 oz. and 23 and a half inches long. Adelyn Mae Simon was born July 5. The only thing that I hate is that she is in London and I am in Nashville, TN and it will not be until September that I will get to see her. I can’t wait. Like a little kid at Christmas.ReplyCancel

Congratulations Becca- what an achievement and many thanks for your generousity of more lovely candy.
I wish we could go back to being more neighbourly- everyone keeps to themselves nowadays.
I also hope that your blog never stops as I enjoy it so much each day.
Hugs,
Trish xReplyCancel

Hawaiian Shirts, but did they every really go out of style?ReplyCancel

8 million hits-that is huge! I am so glad you made your book to remember this blog that has brought so much love and inspiration to so many paper crafters. I NEVER want to see paper crafting go out of style. I would love to see the US constitution mean what it used to!ReplyCancel

I agree with you that frugality is back and in fashion. This is good. I also find that credit cards are a thing of the past because they are too easy to use & overspend. Them I will not miss. Crafts are also back as people are making more gifts to give instead of buying, this is good too. It’s too bad that the prices of yester-year don’t come back. That I would like to see.ReplyCancel

Ooooow this is a fun one. I’m with your DD re the stirrup pants….eeeew and I’ll add to that leg warmers but unfortunately they’re already back again….so sad! So I’ll add another….Body Shirts in gruesome prints and colours from the 70’s – no thank you to seeing those ever again! LOL.ReplyCancel

Congratulation with the milestone Becca, Before you know it, you´ll hit the 19 mill as popular as you are. But I totally understand why, cause you really do some awesome work and have a great blog here, and you´re ibsoiring so many people, incuding my self, with all you do, which is sooo wonderful.
I would love to get those times back, where all people had time to be polite and nice to each other, and had time to stop and help an old lady over the street, if she was a bit afraid of the traffic. Today nobody cares about other than them self, becaue they are sooo stressed with all the have to do always, god knows why as people work less and less but get more and more stressed for some reson? But if just we would all take the time to be kind to each other and send others a smile, it would be a much better day for evryone around, I´m sure.
Biiig hugs MaryannReplyCancel

Okay so I am loving the rainbow, clouds, sun, and hello kitty stuff that I grew up with in the 80’s. jamieReplyCancel

Hi Becca,
I sure hope ‘that pleated pants and shorts do not come back in style. They make you look much larger than your actual size. They are not as forgiving as the smooth panel front.

I hope that lycra and spandex never goes out of style It is used in many of our clothing and undergarments and helps keep things in place as well as a little forgiving when needed.

Blessings to you,

CathieReplyCancel

A very old friend contacted me on Facebook a few days ago…someone I hadn’t talked to since university days. It’s nice to reconnect with old friends!ReplyCancel

My son has moved back home! That makes me happy (although it was not the way we were hoping for) but he is here and it is another voice in the house, which is such a help to someone like me who is so isolated.
he also has his dog with him, who is a total mutt, but absolutely adorable and happy and fun!! his name is Pico (as in Pico De Gallo)
and his cat Ceasar (Ceasar like the salad) he is a bit aggressive and huge, but he is one of those “hemmingway” cats with the extra toe on each paw, and his are huge and very prominent…thus the name Ceasar for the ruler ceasar and “Thumbs up or Thumbs down”

I have put waaay too much my plate recently on top of not feeling good more often than not, so i am playing a frantic game of catch-up!

Of course the House Fire wouldn’t have happened without my son being home, but things happen, what are going to do?

Him being here has added stress at some moments, and laughter and smiles at others. All in all I am happy he is here.

NOT HAVING TO PURCHASE ALL THOSE GOODIES.

AND I SURE HOPE I AM THE LUCKY ONE. CYNTHIAReplyCancel

We have been looking at old family pictures and I hope those awful large glasses frames that are white NEVER come back! I had a pair of those when our daughter was born so we have lots of pictures with those in them! Ick!

I’m glad to have back my hair. I was very sick 3 years ago and it went completely straight as a result. So I let it go long. Long and straight is so much better than short and straight! But the next year, after I was very sick again, I was glad to have the longer hair as half my hair fell out and since it was long and straight, most people never noticed besides me, my husband, and my hairdresser. Now it is thick and long and straight again. Now hairdressers complain again about how thick my hair is and are always trying to talk me into cutting it. Wahoo!ReplyCancel

Hi Becca congratulations! Well done! You are way to generous, thank you for the opportunity to win some delicious candy.
I’m so pleased to see so much nostalgia making comeback and those beautiful old sepia photos of an age gone by.
Don’t want to see shell suits make anymore appearances! Can’t think of them without an image of Ruby Wax coming into my head, he he.xxReplyCancel

The Jherri curl. Ouch. I had one in middle school when Michael Jackson had his. My mom still has her own version. It was cute to have curly hair but the maintenance was awful.ReplyCancel

A big congrats to you!

I never want to see shoulder pads come back. I look at pictures from the 80s and shudder!ReplyCancel

There a few things I just would love to see again, My skinny butt is one of them… Oh to be skinny again…..ReplyCancel

Ii am with your daughter regarding not wanting to see the stirrup pants come back in style. I also don’t want to see the deep cowl sweater tops come in cause everyone was wearing those with the stirrup pants and there were too many people showing more of what God gave them than should have. Too much~~~ReplyCancel

When I graduated high school many, many, years ago, the principle told all our parents that we were the last age group with manners to go through the school. While many young kids get a bad rap, I would love to see a resurgence of good manners and thoughtfulness with a strong work ethic.
I am also glad that the “paper arts” have come back in style. Homemade cards are hard to beat.
What can stay away – shoulder pads, stirrup pants, and other 1980’s clothes!
Congratulations on your achievement. I know I check in here at least twice a day! Should would love a copy of your book, if you ever decide to sell a few copies :) A book of your designs, I die of happiness!!ReplyCancel

I would love to see high waist pants come back (at least waist high!) – Big hair can stay away- too much work!!!!
Congrats on 8 mill! Thank you for the opp!ReplyCancel

I am enjoying the renewed interest in knitting and crocheting. I’ve been sharing my TV time between paper crafting and crocheting/knitting little baby hats, sweaters and booties to give as gifts.ReplyCancel

My comment for today, and I think this counts, is one of my favorite bands got back together this year. Soundgarden. I was sad they broke up but obviously they just needed a hiatus and now they are playing shows again. I hope that they are working on a new album. Good luck to everyone and thanks becca!ReplyCancel

Becca- You’re just so generous!! Bell bottoms should never come back!!ReplyCancel

8 million page hits- wow congratulations- and thanks for the inspiration you have given us over all your entries- thanks for the chance to win some super candy too- things I would love to see come back as they were in the 70’s- Platform shoes- loved them- wish I’d kept mine would sure wear them today even at the age of 50+ , things I dont want to see come back- the style of clothes from the 80’s- including the bright eye makeup- there are other things but they have already come back so I can’t include themReplyCancel

Thank goodness for pantyhose. No need for girdles and garters to ever come back.ReplyCancel

I wish that dressing up would come back. I was just talking to someone recently about how most people don’t dress up anymore. She said even to graduations the moms were wearing leggings. Congratulations on another great milestone!ReplyCancel

I would love to see Pepperridge Farm Blueberry turnovers come back. they are soooooo yummy with Vanilla ice cream. I never want my husband’s kidney stones to come back. Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy. Your creations are wonderful. TFS!ReplyCancel

I would like to see folks living life at a slower pace and stopping to smell the flowers. It seems like everyone is in a hurry these days. So maybe get back to the less hurried lifestyle and enjoy time with family more.ReplyCancel

Becca you are amazing You are a great inspiration to all of us ! As a retired hair dresser I love seeing new hairstyles and would love to see much more of the geometric haircuts come back like the “Sassoon”
and never ever see plaid polyester again especially in leisure suits!ReplyCancel

I’m not sure if I’m happy about it, but rather amused; Pop Rocks were such a novelty when I was a kid. It’s neat to see them on grocery store shelves now!ReplyCancel

I hope that the 80’s women’s explosive curly hairstyle together with the big fat shoulder-pads never come back in style.(They are giving me the shudder just thinking about it!) You remember those that looked as though you are wearing a wig or a big bowl of worms on your head, together with square shoulders? Now that I look back at my old photos I can’t help but wonder…what was I thinking?ReplyCancel

I would love to see the neighborhoods of the 50’s and 60’s come back. I know that my husband and I are lucky that we do know our neighbors on each side of us. We even share milestones that happen in our lives. But I have several friends that have lived next door to people for 15 years or so and have no idea as to what the last name of the people next door to them are.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca, congratulations on your amazing milestone! Thank you for the chance to win such gorgeous candy. What I would like to see return is my figure from about 20 years ago – I think it’s impossible but there’s just a tiny corner of my mind that says “Don’t give up – keep trying!” Oh well, you never know.ReplyCancel

I think it’s really neat that crocheted flowers are in style – I used to crochet a long time ago and recently tried to make them again. I had to go through my Mom’s stash to find some yarn.ReplyCancel

Congratulations Becca on your blog and your book.
I hope the trend towards “displaying” ones cellulite goes out of fashion (lowered pants, cropped tops) goes out of fashion. To come back, neighborhood porch time. My hubby and I love to sit on our porch, but at times it does feel odd, like we’re spying on the neighborhood…who knows, maybe it will catch on. Thanks for the opportunity to win big!ReplyCancel

I hope head bands NEVER come back ! I wore one as a teenager in the 70’s. but i do love the fact that everytyhing vintage is back in ! i love the jewlerty, clothes, craft stuff !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!what more could i say !ReplyCancel

I cant wait to see guys pants pulled up around their waistes ! thats gotta go, once i was eating with a co-worker and there were very little people in the place and a guy was at the register paying; he dropped some paper money and didn’t notice; so i yelled at him and low and behold he bent over to pick it up and my co-worker and i lost our appetites as we watched his pants fall around his knees along with the boxers he was wearing. It didn’t seem to face him but it left a lasting impression on myself as i could recognize this mans derier better than i could his face ! LOLReplyCancel

no head bands ever again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1ReplyCancel

I would hate to see some of the 70’s fashion come back – Example: Saturday Night Fever and John Travolta in the white polyester suit –

Thanks again for the opportunity to win!

TeriReplyCancel

Polyester Leisure Suits. Boy were they awful.ReplyCancel

What I would NOT like to see come back: parachute pants, latch hook anything, feathered hair (aka the Farrah hair cut), shirt collars wide enough to land an airplane on!

What I WOULD like to see come back: the clothes of the 1950s, tv that you could let your kids watch without fear of what they might see/hear, and Pepperidge Farm Jalapeno Goldfish!ReplyCancel

looking back on old wedding pictures of the 70’s, I hope that the tuxedo ruffle shirts (in all colors) NEVER come back. Did we really think that was a “fashion do”ReplyCancel

I hope that the big teased hair of the 60’s never comes back. Women would get their hair done once a week (can you imagine – I can’t stand to go one day without washing mine!) and was so stiff with hairspray it could knock a wall down!! Fortunately it never happened for me, but I heard stories about spiders building nests in there!!ReplyCancel

Puleeze get rid of the soggy bottom down to your knees baggy pants…….disgusting!!

Would love to see kids playing outside: jacks, marbles, jumprope, hopscotch and no cell phone, IPOD, etc. I’m glad for little league sports, but parents should not get involved…………..it’s just for fun.

RebeccaReplyCancel

I’d be happy if the ridiculous high heeled shoes women wear went away forever. They have no idea of the foot problems they will have when they hit their later years! And I totally agree with the poster several ahead of me that I’d love to see kids learn to play marbles, jacks, and hopscotch and jumprope again as an everyday activity. Of course, we got our heels to throw for hopscotch for the shoe repair store…..try and find one of those today! I spent countless childhood hours in those activities….sweet memories.

Becca,
I would like to see the return of such things as the belief in God, respect for one another, honesty, honor, pride in accomplishment, work ethics, return of the family unit, punishment/coinsidences for wrong doing, love of our country, patriotism and most of all morals, and people who lead this nation who also believe in these things.

I hope we never have to see plaid polyester leisure suits again.
MarcieReplyCancel

Congrats! As for the thing from the past, it was on one of the new Taylored Expressions stamp sets. It had the saying that my Granddad used to use, and I love it. I just had to get it!ReplyCancel

Congrats on 8 mil…. What I don’t want to see and I’ve seen them everywhere is the hot pots, or the short shorts… I can’t wear them anymore and reminds me that I’m over the hill!ReplyCancel

How about paper dresses? Uh no. Not so much. So happy for your success!ReplyCancel

I’m just sooo glad my mojo came back! I’m loving every minute I create! I wish my arthritis would go away and never come back though!

Fantastic blog, you deserve every one of your 8m hits!

Hugs
Peri xxReplyCancel

There are several things I would love to see come back such as Seersucker, Dotted Swiss (my Mom always made my summer dresses out of this), French Twists & hats and gloves.
But the two things I most miss are Good Manners (I just had a 6 year old ask me “HUH?”) and Being proud to be a Christian (When did we become ashamed of God???). I love your blog and thanks for all the great offers you have.ReplyCancel

Congrats on your hits! That’s awesome!

I hope that ACID WASH never comes back! That stuff kills me! I wouldn’t mind if wavy hair from the waving iron (like a crimper but lots bigger) came back. I loved my hair wavy.ReplyCancel

Bell bottom pants and hip huggers. I hope the go back out of style. I can no longer get enough pants to hug my hips and wonder why I ever wore bell bottoms. But my daughter and grand daughter love them. But I guess I was crazy at the time.ReplyCancel

I wish the Bra’s never came back,heheheee,,, the older i get the less i want to wear it because its so much better not wearing the tight bra and in winter its too cold to put it on every morning,,,silly hey,,,
I wish my daughter would come back from the UK, i miss her terrible, been away for 2years now and only see her now and again on skype. thanks for this great candy prize,,,maybe its my lucky day,,,and i wish your blog never goes away,,, your cards are awsome, Susan, South AfricaReplyCancel

I hope your blog comes back again and again and again and again,,,,,ReplyCancel

I agree with your daughter on the stirrup pants, but I hate to tell her, I saw some in a store the other day. And it wasn’t a thrift store, either! I would also hate to see huge shoulder pads come back. I really don’t want to look like a linebacker, thank you.ReplyCancel

Hi Becca
Happy Thursday –I am happy to see some family values returning –and wish people texting while out to dinner or driving would STOP – nothing is that importantReplyCancel

I would hate trolls to come back. NO beehive hair or pill box hats.

Small shoulder pads would be okay. No linebacker style. I just need a little help for mine.

I would love corals and salmons to come back so that I can scrapbook my 30+ year old wedding photos. Pink is just wrong.

I wish there were more funny happy comedies and dramas on TV. I watched DOC last night on GMC. Can’t they make more shows with wholesome values?? Rhetorical question I suppose since sex, violence and crude humor seem to be the mainstream norm. We need a few new Cosby comics around.

I love your Becca Bits!!! They have helped me become better at “seeing” possibilities that I would have not thought of without a little push and my techniques have become better. Thank you so much for taking your time to make those posts. Your cards are awesome.
Hugs,
NancyReplyCancel

I hope some old time crafts come back, there was some great crafts about when my Mam was little, some of which I’m learning now but which i’ve missed all these yearsReplyCancel

Congrats Becca! That’s a whole lotta hits !

I’m happy that some good old fashion fun might be on the way back in ! Staying at home playing tag, kickball, swimming in the kiddy pool..all things that I love to see my kids doing!

Thank you for the chance !ReplyCancel

Something I’d love to see come back would be decent sitcoms on TV. All that has come along for years has been trash. We need some decent shows like the oldies of the 50s and 60s… just good clean fun! Nowadays with the seriousness of life it would be nice to be able to sit down for a half hour every so often and just have a nice laugh.ReplyCancel

What I hope comes back is families sitting down for dinner together, instead of everyone grabbing a plate and going off to their separate corners.
I love the vision of yesteryear when a family all sat down together and said Grace.ReplyCancel

Becca,
I know just about everything goes now-a-days for fashion but I hate those skorts and hope they never catch on again.
MaryReplyCancel

I would love to see neighbor’s helping neighbor’s, and children being able to play outside without having to worry about being kidnapped or someone hurting them. I would like to see the world a more peaceful place to be.

I hope we never have to see the old days come back without air conditioning. I don’t know how I made it back then.ReplyCancel

For me it’s those big glasses that eat about 3/4 of you face. They use to be ugly and now they’re back but as sunglasses and are still super big and ugly. The weird thing is seeing girls 14 to 18 wear them thinking they are so cool!

MichelleReplyCancel

I keep hoping the use of some of my old embellishments and rubber stamps will become popular again…I guess that must be why I keep them! They’re going to make WONDERFUL vintage-looking cards some day. Right now they just make the card look dated. :-)ReplyCancel

I was honestly not a big fan of Facebook, however when I had to start using it for work I rediscovered some friends I had almost forgotten about… and glad to be back in touch with them!

…And I hope electric blue mascara never comes back as a “real” fashion statement. I can’t believe I wore it so much in the 80s…ReplyCancel

I love the handmade items are in and appreciated. And I won’t want to see bell bottom pants back in style. Love your blog, you have such great ideas. :)ReplyCancel

I think I have visited nearly every day since sometime in 2007…and you never cease to delight me with your talent. I too hope big hair never makes a comeback….I have very fine hair and hated sleeping with those huge rollers. I think the 3D comeback will fail…no matter how hard they push it or how invested the mfrs are……I hated the glasses then and I wouldn’t bother now….especially for more $$$.ReplyCancel

I am a huge Alice in Wonderland fan, and have been for my whole life. I am thrilled that the new movie has brought Alice back to the forefront of fashion! There is even an Alice challenge blog called Oh, Alice! and I made the design team! Yeah!

I have to agree about the stirrup pants. I have long legs, and stirrup pants only have one place to give when they are too short. I can remember some almighty battles to keep my butt covered when bending and moving! Yikes!ReplyCancel

SADDLE SHOES—I hope they never come back…I hated those and my Mom made me wear them….yuck!!ReplyCancel

I would like to see decency and personal responsibility make a comeback, but I hope lizard blue eye shadow and leisure suits are gone forever! LOLReplyCancel

I would like to see a respect for adults, manners and doing your best no matter what you do be values that come back and are lived by younger generations.ReplyCancel

For the first time in a few years, the deer have returned to our neighborhood. I don’t exactly live in the country, but the area is surrounded on two sides by woods. The other morning a doe was in my neighbor’s yard at 4:00 in the morning, munching on some mulberries! The site of that beautiful majestic deer put a song in my heart that lasted most of the day!ReplyCancel

How I wish actual letter writing could come back in style! I’ve always had this love affair with paper (of any sort) and miss that tangeable touch one has with texture. Sadly, it just isn’t there with emails. On the same note, I wish the text abbreviations would disappear. It seems no one can speak or spell anymore. How many people are suddenly talking ala Sean Connery with their ‘esh’s’ instead of ‘ess’s’. How odd! That gets my goat :)
As always, I sure look forward to seeing more of your creations and am always tickled when I see a Becca Bit. Thank you!ReplyCancel

one more thing I hope never comes back – men’s platform shoes with gold fish and the faux fur maxi-coats along with the hair styles that went with the outfit.ReplyCancel

What needs to come back is the ability to think critically. Young people are so dependent on cell phones always calling to ask what they should do. Some day they will need to make decisions on their own and they will not be able to think though the problem to come up with a solution.

Congratulations on your milestone! You work is beautiful and your following keeps growing!ReplyCancel

I do not want to see shoulder pads again.ReplyCancel

Bell bottoms! I’m talking about the huge wide ones that we wore back in the early 70’s and that tried to make a comback several years ago. When I was 20 and slim they looked great, now I’m 60 and not so slim – good bye bell bottoms! You belong in the grave yard! Mini skirts – I know they’re still the rage, but really ladies, you need to leave a little up to the imagination! Good bye and thumbs down to mini skirts! Of course this is just MHO!
BarbReplyCancel

I hope mullets never come back–and that isn’t even going back that far. I love short hair on guys, so I hope long hair never comes back, either. Leisure suits, heavy-duty eyeliner, and VW Beetles, they can all never make a comeback.

Congratulations on the 8 million hits!ReplyCancel

I have to agree with the many who wish for manners and respect to come back and for the saggy, icky, boxer-showing, crotch-at-the-knees pants the that guys wear to go away and never EVER come back!ReplyCancel

I hate BIG HAIR! Hope it never comes back! Congrats on 8 million hits! Totally Awesome!ReplyCancel

Congrats on the milestone. And thank you for offering the generous blog candy.
I hope the mullet hair cut never comes back.ReplyCancel

Congrats on your blog milestone and thanks for the lovely candy.
I love that feminine dresses are back in style and I really hope that those stretchy plastic 70s boots will never see the light of day again. (shudder)ReplyCancel

Fashions come. Fashions go. BUT I don’t ever want to see football-sized shoulder pads ever, ever again.ReplyCancel

Congratulations on you 8Mil hits!!

I’m happy to see crocheting coming back – it might have been back already, but I just picked it up at age 62, again!! I’ve been making crocheted flowers, circles and butterflies for my cards.

I hope heavy polyester clothes stay away forever!!

Thanks for the chance at the blog candy.

I’ve got 2 today, one that I wish would go away, FOREVER, that’s rap music. I just can’t stand it. And the lyrics! Well I’d better not get started on that one. Something that I wish would come back is a tea that I used to be able to buy back when I was in college. Can’t remember who made it, but it was Black Rum. It made the worlds best ice tea! Haven’t been able to find it in years, used to get it in the local grocery store. Thanks for the chance at another awesome candy. Still can’t believe all those hits!

I would be very okay if “HARVEST GOLD” never became an appliance color every again!ReplyCancel

I was happy to see the peasant blouse/smock shirt come back this year. I think they are so cute, floaty and comfortable.ReplyCancel

LOL — enjoying reading all the comments! I actually cannot think of anything new or different to wish not to come back, so guess I’ll just agree that manners, kindness, thoughtfulness, respect for all those around us would come back! We’re all in this together, so we really should be kind to each other (though most of the paper crafters I’ve met are)!!!ReplyCancel

Hello Becca,

I would love to see simplicity come back in style! There are too many distractions today and I think people lose sight of what is really important…family, friends and relationships.

Blessings to you,

CathieReplyCancel

I would love for an appreciation for our language to come back. People need to find writing important again. Semicolons and commas are not scary; however, people don’t know how to use them. Apostrophes are important, too. Don’t even get me started on their, they’re, and there. Ha ha. By the way, I just found your site last night, and I think I’m in love! I have spent over three hours looking through it. Fabulous work! Thank you for all your effort.ReplyCancel

Congrats on the hits. I account for a good many of them as I am repeatedly studying your cards.
I would love to see allover body tattoos disappear and never come back. They are so distracting and all I can think when I see them is how much worst they will look in thirty/forty years.
I’d love to see kids play and act like we did when I was a kid. OUTSIDE from dawn to dusk, good Christians, respectful and responsible.
Hugs & Blessings
BernieReplyCancel

lol
i never want to see bell bottoms come back
YUCK
lol

your book is amazing becca

hugsReplyCancel

Something I love is the availability of relatively low cost audiobooks that have come along with the mp3 player.

I also hope the same mp3 player (aka ipod) revolution means we will never see people strolling around with boom boxes again, inflicting their choice of music on all and sundry! Remember when bigger was better, and you’d see people strolling around with boxes the size of small cars on their shoulder?ReplyCancel

I never thought I would say it, but I like that mushrooms/toadstools are coming back as an art subject. When I was younger, I saw a lot of decorative items made in the seventies with mushrooms and thought they were homely; but now, I’ve seen a few that are cute, and I have even (gasp!) considered making some myself.ReplyCancel

Almost missed posting today, since I was out of town – what I would like to see come back is the Golden Rule lived by everyone. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. Life was nicer then.ReplyCancel

one thing that I would like to see leave and never come back is the shredded skinny jeans. I mean, skinny jeans are bad enough, they make me look like an awkward fat giraffe but then shredding them so your skin is popping out all over the place just looks ghastly…..so please take them away!!!ReplyCancel

One thing that I would love to see come back is kids with decent manners. No, I don’t want Victorian strictness or the stilted formalism of that era, but simple courtesy, consideration and respect for others, particularly adults.
I could very easily do without watching nudity and of sex acts on prime time TV. I wish people would put some clothes on and leave a little to our imagination.
Linda in SCReplyCancel

It’s not just one thing I would like to see come back. I long for a simpler time. A time of leaving the house after breakfast running through the neighborhood & playing tag, hopskotch,skelsie & stoop ball.You get the pic. Saturday morning cartoons although I do love being able to watch them any time I feel nostalgic. Hanging out on the stoop was pretty nice too. I miss seeing my mom hang out the window of our apartment watching the world go by(just like that lady on ShaNaNa). She found out world events in that window! How about just miss her!ReplyCancel

Just like a lot of people that posted, I am so ready for a simpler time and common courtesy. It would also be lovely to give a woman or man, a choice to be a stay at home parent, if they wanted.
I would love to see the unrealistic fashion mags go away. We are all very, very beautiful on the inside and the outside, just as God made us. We need to be more aware of that. Strive to be healthy, not size 0.ReplyCancel

I would never want to have another perm ….the curly style that was popular in the 70’s….I hated getting those..and then when they grew out…my hair would be flat on top! Hideous!ReplyCancel

Morning Becca. Love your blog. It’s always so interesting. Thanks for the chance at candy.
I love all the crafting and tutorial blogs that are online. You give us so much help and inspiration. I have always been self taught and now I feel like I have many friends “helping” me.
I would never want to go back to the days of “no computers”. My computer is my “information highway”. I can travel all over the world and my friends are just a blog away!!!!
Hugs CherylReplyCancel

Please do not bring back orange, green or brown counter tops in kitchens!ReplyCancel

As a teenager, my friends and I spent many a Saturday night in my girlfriend’s basement listening to oldies from the 1950’s and early 1960’s (think “High on a Hill” and “What’s Your Name?”) on a radio program hosted by Terry Lee, a local d.j., with a deep voice that we all swooned over. Then along came the British invasion, disco and acid rock (not that I have anything against that kind of music) and Terry Lee and his show were gone! I discovered last weekend that Terry Lee is back on local radio and playing those same songs. That put a smile on my face and a song in my heart!ReplyCancel

I would love to see family oriented shows come back, with morals and learning………………I would hate to see coulottes come back, lol

CarolReplyCancel

When my 14 year old DGD started singing ‘I’m leaving on a jet plane….’ – and her startled expression when I told her when that song was written and who made it popular…priceless!

I love that age of innocence. I also love that age of ‘fearlessness’ (to an extent!); she has an idea in her head to make something and she gets some of my fabric – no pattern – and ‘viola’ – she’s accomplished whatever it was she wanted. I wish for that fearless confidence to stay with us for a long time.ReplyCancel

I would love if those jeans that don’t cover your backside were to become very un-cool …..
SandraReplyCancel

I would like to see “stay-at-home-mom” not have the negative connotation that society gives it today.ReplyCancel

I love the sound of push lawn mowers, neighbors talking over fences, going to stores, not malls, taling to people on the phone, not a computer. I hate having to push “1” for English. Pastors that preach the Word, not feel-me-good lectures.ReplyCancel

I’d like to see friends and family take time to sit down and just enjoy talking and being with each other.ReplyCancel

I agree with the last comment. I’m so tired of seeing droopy pants. Everyone show say no to crack.ReplyCancel

I never want to see the times come back with outside johnny houses. I love my indoor plumbing.

I would love to see some of the old tv shows like Petticoat Junction, Green Acres, My Three Sons and so on come back on tv. I love the old family shows with good clean fun.ReplyCancel

Some of these comments are great! I did stop and pray for the girl who doesn’t want her cancer to come back. Today, I miss the old cassette players. No problem listening to them without having to go to the internet to sync music.ReplyCancel

I would love to have the old rock and roll music back with all the old artists! Can’t believe some of the music our kids listen to now. Oh, well! I would like to see people dress up going to church or to a play. I loved the days of the hats and wearing your Sunday best. Thanks for the chance to win those goodies.

No parachute pants!!!ReplyCancel

I hope spandez never comes back…..never liked the look at all especially on those of us on the heavier side!ReplyCancel

Hi Becca, I am glad to see boys wearing less of the droopy jeans,( at least here) and so glad our jr and sr schools have implemented clothing “guidelines” and kids are sent home or have to adjust their clothes accordingly. No bellies showing, no low cut tops, no short shorts, or t shirts with objectional sayings or pictures etc are allowed.
Thanks for your website. It is fantastic.ReplyCancel

I’m glad to see sewing making a comeback. In fact, I am going to start teaching my 7 yr. old granddaughter how to sew this week. How about good old 100% polyester – now that was great material to sew and it never, ever wrinkled. Sure was hot to wear in the summer heat!

Love your creations and wish you would make a book to sell of all the things you create – I would definitely buy it!ReplyCancel

Something that has come back into my life in recent years is a very good friend from college. I had totally lost track of him a few years after college and had no way to find out where he was. But, another college friend was able to put us in touch with each other again and we’ve stayed in touch ever since.ReplyCancel

I hope to never see the flower power(child era)

but I would love to see crocheting and needlepoint become popular again.

however I am enjoying card making and scrapbooking at the timeReplyCancel

Thanks so much once again!
I cannot believe that I ever wore stirrup pants and it truly amazes me that leggings and long tops are back again… what’s with that???ReplyCancel

I sure hope that the young guys with the pants hanging down with boxers showing and the girls with the thongs pulled up high with low rise pants go away and never ever come back.
Congrads Becca….that is quite a feat!ReplyCancel

I’m so happy for my laptop. I keep all my accounting (QuickBooks Pro) on it. I would hate to go back to long hand and double entry! I would even hate to go back to my desktop.ReplyCancel

Let’s see…. I would love to see my hair all brown and LONG again… and of course be skinny again too….ReplyCancel

Hello Becca,

Well, I would love to have macrame come back into style. I have several, which I made in the 60’s, but they have been, gradually, falling apart. Who knew sisal wouldn’t last forever??? Ha ha!

Something I can do without would be harvest gold and avacado green appliances. Yuck!!!

Anyway, those are my thoughts. Hope you have a great weekend.

Lovingly, SueReplyCancel

I’m glad the retro look is back in, along with the colors of orange and turqoiuse, but I hope can-cans never come back. They itched. Thanks for another chance to win blog candy.ReplyCancel

Becca,
How generous you are to give us all these chances to win blog candy. Just maybe I will win someday! I hope the shoulder pads do not make a comeback. They make women look like football players.
MaryReplyCancel

Gread giveaway thanks for the chance to win, I agree I don’t want shoulder pads to comeback. The 80’s are best forgottenReplyCancel

Hi Becca :o)
Congratulations on 8 million!!!! WOW!!!!! You really do have a marvelous site and while I follow other websites to a degree; your’s I follow regliously! I think that you love our Lord is part of the reason! You have such a sweet spirit. Thank you for all you do!
I, too would love, love for Green Stamps to come back!! It was such a thrill to put them in your book after shopping and see how many books you have now and what you can buy w/them! Also, children playing outside instead of constantly on the computers and play stations!
What I never want to come back are the long gas lines or being able to buy gas only on certain days. Please! Never again!!!! C:o)ReplyCancel

Rainbow Bright & the Lite brights.. I loved those as a kid & just know mine would love them too…ReplyCancel

I like the whole organic trend, even though I thought we did that years ago when we had a big garden. I guess I relate it to homegrown or homemade, just now with the different name (organic)
I know it is free of chemicals, but we only used a little bit of sevin dust once in a great while.ReplyCancel

I would like to see “those terrible oversized pants” with the crotch hanging down to the knees go away and “Hand written” thank you notes make a come back to the younger generation. With the exception of card makers it is really rare to ever receive thank you notes for weddings, birthdays, gratuations etc…sad.
PS I love your work and amazing site! Thanks for sharing with us all.ReplyCancel

I would love for my teenage body to come back Okay maybe that is too much to ask for so I will say I hope the baggy droopy pants go out of style and never ever comeback.ReplyCancel

Letter writing, and in nice handwriting, on pretty stationery. I know some people who penpal, but it’s a dying art. Typed letters are a no-no in my book. Today, everything goes through text messages…ReplyCancel

I am loving reading everyone’s comments.
Polyester yuck!! Hand written notes yay!!!
80’s fashion yuck!
winning your blog candy Yay!!ReplyCancel

I’m grateful gardening as come back bigtime and I hope and pray that parenting young children never comes to me again….mind you, I love being around all my darling gc, just hope I never have to raise kids again! lolReplyCancel

Oh, and a commercial wish for a come-back- Does anyone remember the shampoo “Gee, your hair smells terrific” and Listerex? I’d love those products to come-back…ReplyCancel

I wish to prints from the ’70s had not come back. It’s so hard to find solid colors in classic styles. What does that say about me?ReplyCancel

I guess I’m a bit nostagic but I wish LARGE families would come back. I came from a family of 5 and just have a sister and a brother and our parents are in glory. IReplyCancel

Hey, Becca, hope those projects are coming along well & that they’re for Spellbinders!!! ;-)
I linked you on my blog post a few minutes ago as I needed to do a post regarding the MS tags I’ve been using a lot lately, so did a take-off of your “Becca Bits”: Marge’s Memo. Your tag is ever so clever, but I couldn’t think what else went with my name! ;-(
Can’t really think of anything else I never want to see, but wanted to let you know I’m missing your awesome posts & hoping for some “candy”!!! ;-)ReplyCancel

As a child, I can remember my parents having a garden right there in the back yard in the suburbs. It allowed them to save money on their grocery expenses a lot. I didn’t really try it myself…..until this year. I decided that a little bit of gardening might be a good idea. I’ve noticed on the newscasts that this is happening a lot in cities all around the country. I think this is a trend that should continue!ReplyCancel

Hi Becca

I would love some of the old movies to come back – musicals or love stories – wouldn’t it be nice to see a movie with noone getting killed?/ and no aweful words??

Thanks for the chance to winReplyCancel

Would love to see quality TV come back into style, good dramas and comedys…………………hate reality TV…..it’s so phony.ReplyCancel

I sure enjoy opening my car door with just a click and rolling down the window with one touch!
ThanksReplyCancel

I would love to see the pants below the waistline go and never return – I really don’t want to see what I see when these are worn. I would love to see a slower pace of living come back. Thnak you for your inspirations.ReplyCancel

I hope that nylons with seams up the back NEVER come back. I wore those in the early 60’s because they were all the rage, along with the garter belts.ReplyCancel

I was NOT pleased to see rompers come back in style this year! Hopefully they’ll be out by next year. They are just not practical and just not for grown women.ReplyCancel

I never want to see tucked in shirts and knickers back in style! Oh how about PLAID pants?!? Never! Or guys wearing dark knee-high socks with shorts!!! I need to go throw up now… :(ReplyCancel

I loved the jumpers of the 70’s…so comfy and they looked good on everyone.ReplyCancel

I remember a time just before pantyhose hit the mass market and here are these young, freshmen girls keeping up their stockings with panty girdles of all things. They were torture and I hope they never come back. I mean really! Talk about not allowing young muscles to develop naturally but actually doing the opposite!ReplyCancel

I don’t miss garter belts, fans instead of a.c. and snowy T.V. Am thankfkul for technology that has helped us advance…especially that which is linked to creativity!ReplyCancel

Hello, Becca and congratulations on 8 million hits! And your beautiful book that you “threw” together!

I wish kindness, respect and tolerance for one’s fellow man, as a human being, regardless of race, religion, gender, political or other persuasion would come back.

Like so many of your other readers, I wish the horrible fashion trends (pants on the ground, bellies and boobs hanging out, underwear and lingerie on display) would go away… and fast!ReplyCancel

I really dont want my colon cancer to ever come back.
And I would like it if life were a little slower paced.
Thanks for your wonderful generosity and for your beautiful blogReplyCancel

I also hope stirrup pants never return. I love that knitting is making a big comeback!!!! Thanks for the chance to win something. You really inspire me.ReplyCancel

I would have to agree with a previous blog. There is so much sex and violence on TV these days. Half the shows that get through on a PG rating now would be at least an Adults Only years ago. On a fashion note, rumour has it that shoulder pads are coming back in again. Please, Please, Please don’t let the huge ones back!!!!
Love your website and all your tips Becca.ReplyCancel

I agree with Carol regarding the family type television shows. I sure miss them. I guess I’m old school. Anybody else love Little House on the Prairie, Cosby Show, Touched by An Angel, etc. They don’t make shows like that anymore :(

Congratulations Becca. I know I am little reason why you got all those hits because I’m always on your site. I love it!ReplyCancel

I hope sending handmade cards or a handwritten note never goes out of style–there is nothing like getting a piece of snail mail. As for what id hope never comes back, I guess I would have to say the gothic clothing and makeup.ReplyCancel

Congrats on the 8M. Good for you!!!!!! I was just thinking back to the “good ol days” like in the 60’s when you got your new school clothes and I just hated that we all got the black and white hard soled Saddle Oxford shoes. I hope they never come back. They tried to surface again, but they were the soft sole ones and cute for the cheerleaders. We tried so hard to wear those shoes out! It never happened and Trust and Believe we had to keep them cleaned and polished daily!!!! Waking in those shoes was like walking with weights on your ankles.ReplyCancel

I wish that Mom’s taught their daughters to sew like they use to….congrads BeccaReplyCancel

I would enjoy some ‘musical’ movies again!ReplyCancel

I would like the mini skirt coming back, I used to wear a not very short mini skirt and a long(length just up to the knees and a short boots for winter, and of course with a pair of stocking to keep myself warm, those old days were young and delightful. Well, except that even those skirts are coming back and displace on the windows, I may not be brave enough to buy one and wear on me, because I am 55 years old mom, it will fall too far apart with me age, even though I am still looking great wearing them, but my face tell the age…… LOL… yep, I am still confident and young at figure.ReplyCancel

i would love a chance to meet my old friends from elementary school again. such good memories we had! The carefree days where we played until the sun went down =)ReplyCancel

Your blog is my favorite, I am not surprised at your milestone…. CONGRATULATIONS!!! I would like to see people setting on front porches come back again, which would mean more interactions with everyone in your neighborhood. I am glad hot pants never became popular again. May tight girdles holding up your nylons never make another appearance!!! Also wearing those coke cans to bed to make your hair straight or those awful brush curlers that we wore with a hairnet over them…. I bless hairdryers and round brushes for straitening (and curling) hair now.ReplyCancel

I would love to see our local bobby standing on the street corner always available to help those requiring assistance instead of the local copper which gets about in a fast car rather than on foot and always in a hurry and unavailable to offer assistance…I’m all for the good old days,

Thanks again Becca for more blog candy and take careReplyCancel

I would like for my younger years sleeping habits to come back. This is miserable being up at wee morning hours hoping I’ll be able to fall asleep sometime before the alarm goes off in the morning. Luckily, I have Amazing Grace blog to read! and enter comment to try to win candy!ReplyCancel

Hi Becca…
Oh my…I am truly hoping that cropping pics in circles and ovals never come back! I remember my first scrappin class many years ago…the big think was cropping them in shapes and when I look back at my first scrapbooks I was to cry! Plus, no one told me not to use original pics so I have many precious pictures that are ruined…UGH! Also…hoping that wearing smocked shirts never come back…remember wearing them in the 70’s…everyone looked pregnant!!ReplyCancel

I am horrified that all of the 80’s clothing has come back! WHAT is that about? Don’t get me wrong – I could live in the 80’s musically (ahh, how I love Wham and AHA ;) but the clothes….in the immortal words of Mike Wasowski (AKA Monsters’ Inc – I have kids, all of my Pop Culture references are from kids movies;) ‘put that thing back where it came from, or so help me!’ReplyCancel

I hope shoulder pads never come back! Or mullets! I hated both, although the shoulder pads did help make the waist look smaller!ReplyCancel

I love cupcakes and it’s very exciting to see new little shops that just feature cupcakes! Yum…….ReplyCancel

love the vintage t-shirts I see everywhere. could do without the grundgy jeans, tho!ReplyCancel

I’m glad to see people saving money again, not spending it as fast as they get it, and I hope the age of 3-martini expense account lunches never come back.ReplyCancel

i hope the shirts that snapped in the crotch never come back. a guy must have invented those. ugh! and i would love to see some of the weird shows frome the late 60’s early 70’s come back.ReplyCancel

I would love to see the quiet family life return where families eat a home cooked meal together, have family outings and life, in general, is just at a slower pace.ReplyCancel

I’d like to see my original hair color come back, LOL! I’m just sayin’ …
Thanx for the inspiration and t’riffic blog candy opp!ReplyCancel

I hope the small tail people wore in their hair never comes back. Looks silly to have well groomed hair and then this tail hanging down.ReplyCancel

I wouldn’t want to see poodle skirts come back. I think they are just too out there for me but I would like to see people send more thank you cards. My nephew got married last year in May and we’ve never received a thank you card for the gift. I think that’s just rude.ReplyCancel

How about those shirts that snap together in the crotch? I had a few of those. They did stay tucked in though but ugh!!!ReplyCancel

We are so ‘casual’ these days, so when I see a man in a suit and tie at church, I smile; or when I watch an older man opening a car door for his wife and he has a hat on – along with his suit and tie, I smile. I don’t want the strickness of attire to return, however, I would enjoy a little less casualness in the workplace, church, weddings, etc.ReplyCancel

I just read in the newspaper…they don’t think rotary phones will ever come back…e-mail is going away (except for the baby boomers) because our kids are texting…and we are all relying on facebook for updates…WOW!!! I’m getting old!ReplyCancel

I hope stirrup pants and spandex pants never come back….some bodies just aren’t made for either and it used to be scary to think of going in public with them on. I wish more focus on family time in the home would come back. I remember playing board games with my daughter and her friends, loved having her friends hang out at the house.ReplyCancel

I hope mini skirts (they sure were short) and low hip huggers don’t come back.
I wouldn’t mind drive-in movies coming back and of course, times where families seemed closer and always ate together!
This has been fun reading everyone’s thoughts on.
Thank you to all who shared!
Hugs, DawnReplyCancel

I hope the 80’s big hair with the sweatband around the forehead never comes back. How did Olivia Newton-Johns look in her physical video ever become a fashion statement….just sayin’. I hope writing letters makes a come back. Emails are not the same as holding a handwritten letter in your hands. Knowing that someone cares enough for you to take the time to sit down and write you a letter. That you are important enough for them to tell you what is going on in their life. I send my granddaughter’s letters, cards, little notes at least once a month, but usually more. I remember how important I felt when I got something in the mail, and I want them to feel that same importance.ReplyCancel

I hope that plaid pants never come back in style. They remind me of an old man redneck. LOL
I love your blog and look at it every day. Keep up the beautiful work.ReplyCancel

My niece is into black and red plaid … ewwww!!! I STILL have nightmares of having to wear plaid when I was in elementary school and to boot, my shirt and pants never matched …. why Mom, why?!? lol lol lolReplyCancel

I really wish modesty would come back and that women would cover up their body parts before going out in public!! Exposed pregnant stomachs, nearly-naked breasts and butt cracks are really not appealing!!ReplyCancel

What I hope never comes back: zits…okay, I still get them, but not nearly as bad :P

have a beautiful, blessed dayReplyCancel

Speedos! Talk about an eyesore! The male version of the itsy-bitsy-teenie-weenie bikini! May it never surface again!ReplyCancel

BECCA BECCA HOPE YOUR HITS WERE UP EVEN HIGHER IN THE LAST
COUPLE OF DAYS. I WOULD LLIKE TO SEE THANK YOU NOTES HAND
WRITTEN IN STEAD OF BEING SENT BY COMPUTER. THANK YOU IN
STEAD OF HAVE A GOOD DAY.

I wish we could go back to trusting our neighbors but not to those days of looking for communists around every corner. And I wish the Disney movie of the week would come back. I also miss Carol Burnett et al. Am I showing my age?ReplyCancel

I love that customizing your clothes is really hot now! When I was a little girl my mother “pimped” my jeans by cutting it shorter and sewing on some flowers and smilies. I used to colour my sneakers and bling ‘m up. And now this is all coming back. It’s a great way to recycle your wardrobe!
Greetings from The NetherlandsReplyCancel

I hope that miniskirts would go and never come back!ReplyCancel

Let’s bring back respect for others and get rid of it’s all about me!ReplyCancel

Awww my poor wedding pictures with me having big hair and big round glasses covering my whole face. My kids laugh every we pull them out. I hope to never see those come back! Congrats on all your hits!!!! Very awesome and it will be no time you double your hits. Love, love, love your cards and blog!!!!ReplyCancel

Hi Becca, Oh my goodness !!!! I love the photo book. You should sell them. Your photo’s are awesome and it would be easier to keep track of all you new creations.ReplyCancel

I wish that all these girls & women who have lost their hairbrush would find it soon!!ReplyCancel

I’d like to see belts come back – you know, the kind that hold up the boys pants so they’re not down below their behinds!ReplyCancel

I wish married couples would put more effort into saving their marriages like they did years ago rather than thinking aobut “me ” and “my needs” and rushing into divorce. So sad.
I’m grateful that my family are all within 20 minutes of my dh and me.ReplyCancel

I hope hats come back as normal daily wear, I just love hats and I have several beautiful vintage ones but feel odd about wearing them most of the timeReplyCancel

And I…and I…and I hope fashion of reading PAPER books com back!)))))ReplyCancel

Becca, Congratulations on the milestone and the book ?

I wish that the old version of ice-cream (especially Vanilla with Cherries) will comes back again! Now they all have industry tasty :-S
And also some good young girls / young womans with modesty.

I wish that the very low cut jeans would go and never come back!
It look so cheap.ReplyCancel

Mullets! I went to an 80’s trivia night last month and some of our 40 yr old friends were wearing mullet wigs. The whole 80’s fashion style could never come back and I would be happy.ReplyCancel

I hope that bellbotttoms never make a come back. I never did like them when they were popular, and now I’m seeing a few of them again…………..and no, no…………..not again…..LOL!

But I would love to see “good, old fashioned” values back in our lives. Just the simplicity of a thank you, or your welcome, or a man opening a door for a woman………..just the simple things that seem to have been lost with the younger people.

Blessings,
PatReplyCancel

I’d like to see madras plaids come back into style, just because I liked them! I’d like to see designer handbags go out of style, because I think they are a ridiculous waste of money.ReplyCancel

I agree on the pants that come to the waist!! They definitely should come back.ReplyCancel

Forgot to get on this for a couple of days. More that I hope never returns are shag carpeting, telephone party lines, garter belts with nylons, back seams on nylons, petticoats and or hoops under skirts.
I hope men/boys will soooooon realize that wearing their pants down to their crotches is soooooo ugly and unsafe for a number of reasons. I hope women/girls will soooooon realize that their immodesty is an open advertisement for……….
What I hope will return is modesty, respect for others and their property and for self, Lower gas prices, common courtesy,, good manners, thank you notes, love for God and country.ReplyCancel

I hope ratting our hair never comes back into style. The hair certainly stayed in place, but I can do without those big hairstyles. That couldn’t have been good for the hair, could it?ReplyCancel
