And the celebration goes on!! Here’s another trinket that’s bound for the Blogaversary Box! The comments are amazing! Everyone is sharing specific things that they are grateful for – if you have a minute, grab a cup of coffee and spend a couple of seconds learning about your fellow readers – click HERE to get started. Thanks again for helping me celebrate!
I’ve taken a couple of hours to clean a corner of my studio – I guess the optimal word here is corner. It’s just too overwhelming to tackle the whole thing so bit by bit I’ll get there. I’ve made a couple of sweet discoveries. I love that! You know, things I tucked away in a special place so I’d be able to find them? Well, you know how that goes!
I hope you’re embarking on a wonderful weekend. Happy crafting!
Ohhh, you’re making it sooo intriguing!!! These are G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!!! Just had to re-arrange a bunch of crafty stuff to make room in the guest room closet and know what you mean (for sure) about finding things I’d “tucked away” for safe keeping — LOL! They were “SAFE” all right, as I could never find them! Hee!!!
Becca we seem to have the same thing in common we don’t sleep I find I do my best creative work at night I don’t know why but for some reason the music and everything just seems to flow better at night. or maybe I do it at night cause for me I don’t like to sleep I would love to sleep but my body doesn’t so I just lay there so it seems like making cards are a better thing then just laying in the dark watching the clock tick tick away . Maybe I’ll try the cleaning tonight I’ve been looking at all my craft stuff out and it just seems like its to much to do and it really isn’t that bad it was just from a one time sitting that I was to tired to do afterwards oh how many of us do that spend the day making our cards then think we’ll clean in it up in a few after a cup of coffee or something and then you know the rest.
Oh Becca! I’ve never seen these! SO beautiful!
One day I will get to cleaning a corner of my craft room. I dread it!!! LOL Back in April or May, I bought a pair of 14 kt gold hoop earrings. They were on sale for like $200.00. I remember taking them upstairs with an armload of craft purchases. I haven’t seen those earrings since. I don’t knoe if they got dumped in the craft room, put in my closet or where. For all I know, I thew them in the trash. LOL I have been looking for them since summer. I keep thinking I will come across them and I have looked in a couple places when it hits me I could have put them there. No Can Find!!! I need a vision!!!
Beautiful addition to the blogaversary. I also put things where I know I will find them. NOT why is it that if you think this is the place I will be sure to find it you never can. In fact I can lay something down and then look down for it and it has disappeared. I don’t like wearing glasses, but I am grateful that they help me to see.
Very lovely roses! Tucked away for safe keeping? That pretty much sums up ALL my craft supplies!!! I NEED a craft room LOL!
You are such a JOY, Becca :)
Love you!
I’ve never seen the “Boutique Fleur” roses. How beautiful!
Good luck with your craft room cleaning!
More beautiful flowers and we women can never have enough of those, lol. Thanks for your generosity Becca and have a great weekend!
BECCA BECCA DON’T EVEN MENTION THIS TO MY HUSBAND. I AM ALWAYS LOSING EVERYTHING. I CAN HAVE IT IN MY HANDS, PUT IT
DOWN AND ITS LOST. I HAVE GLASSES FOR EACH ROOM BUT CAN NEVER FIND A PAIR. THE SAME WITH CRAFT ITEMS. MY GLUE WAS LOST FOR TWO DAYS BUT WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME BUT UNDER A COUPLE OF SHEETS OF CARDSTOCK. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF CLEANING THE CRAFT ROOM (FOR THE LAST TWO MONTHS OR MORE) AND EVERYTHING IS LOST WHEN I NEED IT. DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH LONGER IT WILL TAKE BUT I AM GOING TO FINISH. THEN I WILL HAVE TO CLEAN THE STORAGE SHED MY HUSBAND BUILT FOR ME TO STORE CRAFT ITEMS. ITS 16 FT LONG, 6 FT WIDE AND 10 FT HIGH AND 6 SHELVES IN IT. I REALLY HAVE FUN LOOKING FOR ITEMS.
SURE GLAD TO HEAR OTHERS DO THE SAME THING.
CYNTHIA
Lovely Flowers I haven’t seen them before.That is what I need to tackle is a corner in my craft room to start.I feel so grateful to have this addication for paper crafts.
Jocelan
What wonderful things you are giving away. I am always discovering something I forgot about. Just need more time to use everything. Love your blog.
Becca, I’m glad I am not the only one who puts special things in ‘I’ll never forget’ places! :) And I have been trying to clean my craft room for months, but, well, you know how that goes.
These look beautiful Becca. One day you need to show us your corner :)
OMG those little darling roses are so cute! I agree with the other ladies, we’d love to “discover Becca’s crafting space” one day when you are happy with the way it looks, although most of us do know that a tidy craft room doesn’t stay that way for very long so we won’t mind if it looks lived in :) … keep discovering.. I hope you get lots done ~ while you have such a burst of energy best to put it to good use.
These are beautiful Becca, thanks for the chance of winning them.
I am in the midst of cleaning out my studio, I’ve left myself some working space and the rest of the space is a huge mess, but by re-arranging, I can already see that it is going to have long term benefits in me being better organised..
Hugs,
I absolutely love what you do. Organizing crafty ladies is a daunting task. I understand how hard it is to get it all together. Thanks for sharing with all of us.
Wow some lucky someone is really going to love getting those. I plan to redo my tiny 5′ X 5′ craft room this weekend. I found some great tips on the 31 days post. I am hopeful I will find a few goodies as well.
Blessings Bernie
I love flowers of any sort and try to grow them without a great deal of luck unfortunately. Cleaning/organizing is good for the soul and helps put things in perspective at times
What A timely post! Just this afternoon I sorted a basket full of various papercrafting goodies that I’ve tossed together for months! It was like shopping! So much fun discovering things I had forgotten I owned. All sale items too! Love the added goodies today! God bless you!
Beautiful flowers, and you are so generous.
I have some wonderful towel racks that I got from Ikea that are perfect for the smaller, old style Stampin’ Up punches. I hung them on the wall in front of my craft table; they are right at my fingertips.
I was very organized at one point, and then my son moved back from college and into my craft room when all of his “junk”. I can hardly even walk in my craft room anymore. Someday I’ll be organized again (and hopefully it won’t be once my son moves out again).
In a couple of weeks when all of the paperwork is complete and the security check comes back, I have the privilege of volunteering in a Care Facility in the city right near where I live. I will be going in every week and sharing my love of stamping and papercrafting with the residents who reside there. It is a win win situation. I am on home oxygen 24/7 so it gets me out for an outing, and I get to share my craft with people who wouldn’t get a chance to learn it otherwise. I am most thankful to be able to do this. Thank you God!!!!! LOL Kathleen
WOW these roses looks awesome and even the container is awesome. I could sure see a good use for a bunch of these too for small things.
I think, we all ought to do a clean up in our craftrooms, and I´m sure, we would all find some things, we had forgot all about ha ha ha.
Thanks sooo much for sharing all these things with some of us hun, you are an incredible woman, that´s for sure.
Have a great week-end.
Aren’t you sweet! And just for me!!! LOL!
Hugs,
Jan
Beautiful roses,,today i’m home alone,,made 6 cards yesterday,, had a wonderful day with my friends,,, whats life without friends,, a lot to be thankful for.
Beautiful roses. And boy can I relate to needing to clean my crafting area! I keep thinking I need to start but then fine something more interesting. Maybe I should start in one corner maybe I would fine some missing treasures.
I have met so many people blogging that I feel like I have a big family out there in the big wide world. I interact with people from Australia, New Zealand, England, Russia, Latvia, Slovenia, Italy, Spain…I could go on and on. I am thankful everyday for this great big world given to us to interact with peoples of different countries. Vickie
I guess it was the day to clean. I finally finished a project and cleaned up the Spellbinders dies I had all over the place, the paper, stamps, ink pads . . . you know how it goes. Funny thing – I am now sharing my crafting space with a new addition – my son-in-law! He and my daughter live with us, and he has recently discovered card making. He says he enjoys it. Uh, oh.
Lovely roses and makes me think of the summer to come. I care for my housebound Dad full time and we have been choosing plants together for the coming months. He enjoys seeing them so much.
Oh my craftroom, well I do try and like many of you it’s a little at a time. Seems though that as soon as I clear a little another pile appears. It wasn’t me though.
Oh my, these are so georgeous! I will dream flowers now and so hope I get picked to be your winner!
Love, Alex
Gorgeous flowers, fingers crossed. Hugs xx
If only I could find that “safe place” I’ve put all those wonderful things I’ve forgotten about. Good for you that you have discovered a cache.
Cleaning up the studio…what a concept I could use!
Love the updated blog candy!
Phyllis
Ramstein AFB, Germany
Sweet roses for me to win. =) The blog candy is turning into a bundle of goodies. {Hugs}
Wow Becca – this is divine – those flowers are gorgeous! I am loving your Add ON – thank you! {{{hugs}}}
This add on is simply beautiful Becca. I dread to think what I’ve got if I ever decide to sort out my crafty stash!
Love Sheila xx
Flowers always make me smile. Love them.
The package just gets better and better. One lucky person is going to have a good time playing with all of those things. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
My problem is that my crafting area is in a place that is not ideal – so I tend to take over areas of the house… I need to pick a corner and make it my own and then organize around it… Now to find the time – lol… glad to see that you are persevering through it! Hugs, antonella :-)
I think I need to hire a contractor to clean my crafting area, so I admire you for tackling yours bit by bit LOL! This little tin of flowers is SO pretty!!
Wow, these are beautiful flowers Becca! Thanks for the add-ons!
Thank you or the reminder that even a corner makes a difference!
I sure need some of those corners that you are talking about. My craft room is not used just for stamping cards, but also contains all of my fabric, etc., for producing my quilts. Which I am so far behind on!! LOL
Nice add on, Becca.
Lovely flowers Becca great add on!! Yes I might have to try and tackle some of my craft room today. :)
Must be a girl thing. I do that also. So does my mother. Such a beautiful fine. Gods little surprises.
Becca, U Rock! Love the ‘add on’ 2 your Fantastic give-away.
love, love the little roses, plus also can use that beautiful tin for something else once empty. Ideas already spinning in my head 4 the tin.
Thank U
ColleenB.
well everyone who knows me knows about my husbands health, we found out yesterday after returning from the doctor his insurance company is dropping him. But we are still grateful I have insurance that I can add him too. God just keep hanging with us, because without you we just could not do it!
Pretty flowers! My room is starting to become overwhelming too. The plan was to work on it today but when I heard the weatherman say its going to be 53 today and Sunshine… Well… my plans changed fast.
Another beautiful add-on Becca. Thanks Becca. Snowing again, up here. What a winter. Would love to see a picture of your craft room.
Well, I don’t think this is the page that I am suppose to comment to be eligible for those lovely gifts, but I can’t get to the original comment space, so I will just give it a go anyway and say that I am thankful for a husband that helps me cope with a winter that has dumped over 150 inches of snow, and is still adding to it as I write. Sometimes I am afraid to get out on those roads, and he is my driver. He keeps the necessary areas outside free of snow, and never complains that his life has been turned upside down by the responsibilities we now have of caretaking. Like so many others, an elderly, ill parent is now with us.
I’ve never seen those roses before – they’re so adorable! I need to go find them…. Thanks Becca! You’re my new “enabler”!
There’s such a heartwarming quality about paper roses, isn’t there? These are real beauties.
Hey Becca, I wish I lived closer, I’d come help you clean out your room. Corner by corner is good. lol You are so sweet to find pretty things and then give them away! Thanks for sharing your goodies, But thanks more for sharing your talents!
Hugs, Jessica
I can only imagine what’s in your crafty corners!! I have the same problem in finding things…I buy so many supplies and never manage to put them where they belong! The upside is when I move stuff around looking for something non-crafty, I’ll find a bag that has goodies! Like shopping at home or a bonus birthday present!
Thanks so much for your generosity!!
Sue Brailey
What a great item to add! As a new card maker/stamper I just oogle all the items I see on your site and the nearby store. I certainly look at everything in a whole different manner, so many options to use them. I am eager to build my stash of supplies and things that used to be important to spend my money on somehow have become unimportant. It’s all about card supplies and accessories. Good thing I have a wonderful husband who doesn’t say a word!! Thanks for such a great site and providing such inspiration! Love ya, Becca!
Oh, I “clean” my craft room all the way down to the table tops then, I sit down to make cards and it looks just like it did before. I know there are people that have a place for everything. I have spent so much time and money or being organized with my label maker and all these organizing goodies I organize away, but I can’t find a thing! I was just born this way and I have really tried for years. I have a friend that is an organizing guru. She has shown me her craft room and she knows where everything is. I’ll email her and say ” you will be so proud of me, I organized my ribbon…”
I sure am glad you are cleaning yours Becca!
Those are beautiful flowers! I too need to dig into my craft room and starting in one corner is a great idea!! I’m sure I will unearth some fun “new” treasures!!
I should tidy my room as well! The trouble is it’s so small it’s soon in a mess again. What super flowers in that tin. I’m drooling.
Becca,
I think all of us could use some roses as this winter has been a looooooong one with so much cold and snow for lots of us crafty people.
Today, I am grateful that the sun is shining and it’s supposed to be 50. It will feel so good to be warm.
Carletta
Becca, you are a blessing to me with all your inspirations that come thru with your postings. I look forward everyday to your email. But I am most blessed for life and the ability to love thru Jesus Christ and for everyone that has entered my life since losing my husband, that have encouraged me to pass it forward. Each day will be better as live goes on for you. Love and may God Bless you and your family.
I rearranged my craft room a couple days ago, and I am so happy with it. Reading all the organization tips on your 31day blog got me started. Now I have to go get some organizational containers. One thing always leads to another, right? Thank you for everything!!!!
After reading some of the comments in this post I feel soooooo much better. I am not alone…I see others with the same problems with losing things. messy craftroom etc. I think the hardest part of making anything for me is the time wasted looking for what I want. I lose it all!!
I am trying hard now to find everything that I need to make a certain card etc. BEFORE I start my project…otherwise I get so very frustrated. I don’t want to lose the pleasure and enjoyment that I get from making cards.
I too have cleaned my craft room up just right, only to have disaster after one project.
On to the roses…I have looked everywhere for some roses like those ones and can’t find them! Thanks to you Becca for a new inspiration daily!
These are just gorgeous – it is so much fun seeing the commemts each day
Charlene
Lovely!
These are beautiful! I need to clean and sort my craft area too. Have a wonderful day!!
Becca, the flowers are goregous! Someone will be blessed that you decided to clean that corner of your room (ha/ha)! I love when you offer “candy” – because it’s such a blessing to read all the comments! Thank you for so generously offering to share your “goodies” with us!
Sweet little trinket box… reminds me of a wedding.
Cleaning stamping areas — definitely a lesson never learned by me. I used to stamp on a desk in my computer room, but it eventually got so covered with things that I moved to the kitchen table. It is now stacked so high with things that I only had a cleaned square of about 6 x 6 to use, so I moved to the dining room table. That is surely as before covered with things, which hastily get shoved away if somebody is coming for dinner. Thankfully I live in FL and have an enclosed lanai, with a table, on which I eat and promise myself I will not use to stamp unless I clean up after each use — and that will never happen!!!! But I am thankful that I have enough “treasures” to cover these tabletops and attempt to add beautiful things to share with my friends and family.
Thanks for sharing your talents and the little treasures you’re finding as you clean!! Cleansing is good for the soul. You’ve inspired me…I’m off to do some straightening up in my craft room!
AH! The aroma of roses.
I must try to find my dining room table.
I just Know it’s there somewhere.
It must be. Something is holding all that stuff up.
Today, I am grateful that the temperature is rising and we will get a little thawing out.A warm craft room and lots of ideas – Life is good!
Karen
Lovely roses, Becca!
Oh, to put it in a ‘safe’ place and never to be seen again!
and as for an orderly work space – it may be orderly but certainly not neat! i keep trying, but the mess just gets bigger. my family has moved me out of public eye and into the guest bedroom! no room for guests but it isn’t in general view for visitors.
What darling little roses and I love the little tin as well.
Beautiful roses! what a lovely add-on….whoever receives these goodies are going to be soooo peased.
Talking about our craft rooms…..why is it I can always find what I am looking for UNTIL I decide to tidy up!!!!
LOL Eileen
Beautiful roses! Makes me think of springtime.
Wow, Becca, this just gets better and better! Thank you so much…I have so much to be grateful for, especially four healthy children. Three of which have blessed my with wonderful children “in-law”. Blessings, Becca, you’re a sweetheart.
I would love to win the add-on…I love flowers! Thank you for sharing your stash with us.
I’m just finishing a tin of these flowers in shades of pink and I love them….includes leaves, too….whoever wins these will love them.
I am loving your stash! Thank you for parting with so many lovely, lovely pretties.
It just keeps getting better, and better. Are you adding all these goodies as you straighten your corner and find them? I so need to straighten my little craft space.
Hi Becca,
I am a person who loves to organize sometimes as much as I love to stamp and create. Go Figure. I make myself clean up after each piece of work and it has really helped me to stay on top of things. It’s like a clean slate, ya know?
I hope that you enjoy your time this weekend. Put on some of your favorite music, light a candle and just have fun.
Thanks for all you do for us. You’re the very best!!!!
Love and Blessings,
Deb
Maybe we need a topic – “I Would Be Grateful For” One thing for sure, help in getting my room organized so I actually could craft in there! Just think of all the treasures your could find! I probably have some fun little roses like that around here someplace but who could fine them? Or, just send them to me and I would reimburse you the postage! Doesn’t take a lot of blog candy to make me happy! Bonus, I know where my envelopes are – now postage stamps – that is another thing! Thanks for all the fun and inspiration.
I am grateful for an abundance of water…both hot and cold….what a blessing to be able to take hot showers and drink cold clean water. Thanks for the opportunity to say what we are grateful for.
I am thankful that when my husband had a serious heart attack and open heart surgery nearly 12 years ago that the Lord chose to let him stay here on earth for a few more years. He is still doing well and we have enjoyed many good times together. We have lots to be so thankful for!
These flowers are beautiful!
beautiful!
Ughhh…cleaning in the craft studio. One of my most dreaded chores. Isnt if amazing what you “find” when you clean? I cant tell you how often I have found something that I just had to have when I bought it and then forgot all about it. LOL
I love anything floral ! These are great….and I am spending my day cleaning up my craft room after the VALENTINES BLITZ I have had this week !! Ha Ha !!
Becca, what a wonderful card! Also, I know how the cleaning of the craft room goes. It can be overwhelming. Best wishes for a great weekend to you.
Becca, it is fun to find something stashed away that we have forgotten about isn’t it?
Oh, these are so neat to use. I’m grateful to you for offering them.
Candy Meyers
Such a good feeling to get stuff straightened up and in order! And the added bonus of finding goodies to boot!! What a sweet tin of flowers! Thanks for sharing your stash!
Hugs,
Anne
These little roses are so “sweet” and just in time for Valentine’s Day. Have a wonderful weekend. I know that Monday will be difficult but delve into all of your special memories to comfort yourself.
Beautiful roses! Like quite a few people have written, I haven’t seen these before. Thanks for the chance to win.
I’m grateful that you are cleaning out your stash–the add-ons are fabulous. Happy anniversary!
I am grateful for the friends God has blessed me with…online and offline. :)
Well they look just adorable Becca – someone is going to be very happy.
You are so generous. I’m sure there must be lots of ‘lost’ treasures lurking somewhere in my craft space which really needs reorganising – I would be VERY grateful if I could just make the time to do it…. but you know, this crafting bug keeps getting in the way!!
Hugs

I know how you feel Becca. I have been working out of my master bedroom, but very soon I will have a room all to myself. I can’t wait to paint & decorate my new craft room& I bet I will find things that I forgot about, too.
Becca, have you ever posted pics of your craft room? Because I would love to see where you craft & I bet your room is just beautiful like all your work is. Bless You.
Hugs
oh I know exactly what you mean Becca, we gather so much stash, half of it never to be used and then it’s a nightmare to keep clean and tiday.
You’ll get there though, one corner at a time. Just think, only three left to do
hugs

Wow, Mulberry Paper Roses…. I’ve never seen them before. I guess I am far behind the times but they look so pretty that you wouldn’t even want to touch them.
But….I can see them with the container lid off and a Spellbinders decorated label to cover the label on the tin or deco cover the whole tin and add some room color on the tips of the roses, a tiny bit of greenery and one of Becca’s pretty bows then finish it off by adding a soothing fragrance in the container. Actually and in all reality Becca could create something fantastic with it since she is so creative. I’m sure she can handle it! Right Becca!!
Becca,
Wishing you JOY!
I love your add-ons. I have so much I need to use and sort—not my favorite thing to do. Thanks for a chance to add a little more to my collection!
Kate
Oh, the surprises we find when we aren’t looking for them! It’s like Christmas!! I love it that you share your surprises with us, Becca.
Mulberry paper flowers – yummy!!
you always offer more and more fun! pick me:) Blessings Maxeen
Thankful that I’m not alone in the hiding, er, excuse me, storing items for use later — but years later?
I am so grateful for the sunshine today! The ice is melting.
I love finding those carefully tucked away treasures. When you find one in your “storage”…it’s just like Christmas once again.
Seems I too am always finding stuff I have stashed, Like today for instance I found the missing roll of tape for my tape gun. Thanks for the additional blog prize. Looks neat.
Becca – your kindness and generosity makes the world a brighter place!
They are gorgeous!! thank you!
Love starting out trying to find something and finding some treasure I have forgotten .
The pendants are great. I ordered and can’t wait to recieve. I also just took the copic plunge and I am loving it. As soon as I figure out how to make my blog work, I might even post some of my efforts.
Stay Becca! Whenever I go to different sites, I can always tell which designs are yours…so distinctive.
Be well,
Chana
I love putting on a coat that hasn’t been worn in a long time and finding money in the pocket. That’s what your blog gifts are like. One big SURPRISE. Sent with Love.
Becca,
You are so sweet and what a fun way to celebrate your anniversary with you.
I am thankful for a God who is faithful and loves and cares for me, even when I’m discouraged and not so faithful to Him.
Nice going – 3 years! Congrats! Looking forward to more. Love your blog.
Maybe there is a chance afterall to win blog candy on your website Have a great day and lots of fun!!
yummy!
You’re too good to us Becca — giving more goodies!
Those flowers are just gorgeous!!! What a neat addition to your already overflowing blogaversary box!!!
These roses are simply luscious! My mum was an avid flower gardener, and I’m thankful for the memories I have as a child “helping” her tend her flower beds, and for inheriting her green thumb!
You
I’m thankful for my family and my health…and blogs that teach me new and different things;)
You have once again given me a wonderful idea and that is to get up and write down my card or layout ideas when I can’t sleep which is every night!!! I so appreciate you Becca .
Thank you again for all the wonderful additions to the candy ,it will be an awesome package to win.
Beautiful addition.
stamping on…
aww what a cute tin love the flowers too xx
I’m thankful for life itself! Signs of Spring are showing up quickly, and I’ll be my daffodils will be blooming by this weeks end! Thank you, Becca!
Fabulous that you have had your blog for 3 years. An accomplishment for sure. Love the tin and flowers, Becca. Beautiful!
how pretty!
Haven’t tried these but will look for them soon
I love these roses!!
Thank you.
Hugs
Everytime I get things a little straight, I get on a card making spree. By the time I’m finished it’s all a mess again. I NEVER can find the things that I use just once in a while. I’m not giving up YET!
You know how to entice folks! What a lovely gift! Your site has made my crafting life move up a notch. I’ll never make it to your level, but you’ve given me so much inspiration to take things up at lease a notch or two! :)
Becca,
Thank you dear Becca for the add-on, its goorgeous. Keep cleaning!
“To give and to be generous are attributes of God”,
Warmest regards,
Magda
Oh…those are gorgeous! You are so wonderful!
I love flowers, so flower embellishments would be a good addition to the prize.
Beautiful Roses! A perfect accent! My fingers are crossed!
Hugs!
Lori
cleaning!!! or searching for unexpected treasures. it’s two things that must go together! it happens to me frequently enough that organizing my studio is such a bad experience.
Oh Becca, Such wonderful little cardmaking treats!
So many beautiful little add-ons! These are lovely!
Helen
Oh My…more Blog candy? You are amazing!!!
Blessings,
Valerie Martin
