First, let me tell you that I’m working on a much requested tutorial that I did not manage to have finished tonight, but should in the next day or so – be sure you keep checking back. Otherwise, I promised a review of 2009 and frankly it was kinda fun to look back and see some of the things I made that became my favorites and perhaps yours too *wink*. I’m almost embarrassed to do this because you have asked for tutorials on many of the things I’m showing and time slipped by so very quickly. I also realized during this exercise that my blog is not very archive friendly, in other words it’s hard to go back and find things. I’ll have to do some research to find out how I can remedy that. In the meantime, here are what I consider highlights of 2009.
No apologies necessary Becca, you have had your hands full. Each project has it’s own beauty and uniqueness. Thanks for having this blog and letting us post. You give so much of yourself in your work, and it is really a treat for me to visit each day. I’m looking forward to your tutorials when you are ready. TFS!!! Becca. : D
Hi Becca! I’m loving it! I’m spent days and days going over your whole site and trying to catch up on all of your work, but still haven’t seen it all. You’re and incredible artist, gifted of God, and we are the ones who benefit! Thanks so much for the huge job you do not only with the “hands on” of the crafting, but the time and effort to produce a top quality blog that is inspirational and fun. I’m really looking forward to this year and seeing what you come up with!
What a lovely stroll down memory lane! Such beautiful things Becca and as impossible now to choose a favourite as it was right throughout the year.
Thank you for the hours of pleasure and delight your crafting, words and pictures bring to your legion of followers, and for giving so freely of yourself and your time. Bless you Becca.

Thanks for sharing your talent with us. You are such a gifted artist that you inspire me to try to do a better job on my cardmaking. I don’t have all your supplies but you motivate me to create something with what I have on hand, but my wish list is growing.
Whenever you have time to offer your readers anything we will be happy to be blessed by your amazing talent. God bless. Love ya.
A gallery of beautiful art! I never tire of looking (and drooling) at your creations, Becca. Thanks.
que de merveilles ! je suis toujours en admiration devant ce que tu réalises félicitations
oh how fun to look back at your beautiful creations. I sure do wish you lived next door to me so I could learn by peeking in your window!
Thanks Becca for all your beautiful ART.
It was great heading back to 2009.
But then again I am looking forward to your new ART of 2010.
Wish I was a little mouse checking out your Art work at home and in the your RV
Absolutely gorgeous!!! I really love your work and I was just going to post in my blog the last Magnolia card (so lovely!), so allow me to publish also this great 2009 highlights, with the due credits, of course.
Lucia
all of these are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for being a caring and sharing crafter especially with everything on your plate . Your talents are so wonderful and we appreciate the time and thoughtful planning that goes into each papercrafting project . Hugs from Michigan
Simply A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, Grace — er, I mean Becca! Still wanna be you when I grow up! ;-0
MERCY there is a ton of gorgeousness there!! WOW. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us; we’re blessed by it!! You should never feel regret for what you haven’t posted! I’m just thankful for what you did post!!! Your work is amazing!
Beth Greco
Awesome beyond description…these truly are works of amazing grace…your talent and inspiration has been given to you directly by the Spirit of Christ, this we know for sure! Thanks for obeying His prompts to act as a joy-filled conduit of His love to all of us through your divinely inspired projects and kind, encouraging words. Rock on, sister!
Becca my day is much more complete and blessed once I receive a picture of your latest creation. You inspire me and because of that I’ve been able to inspire my friends and family with the cards I create. God Bless!
You certainly highlighted some of my favorites. Thanks for sharing your talent, Becca!
They are all so gorgeous Becca, no way could I choose a favorite!
I will be anxiously awaiting your tutorials!!!!
You are truly amazing. As I scrolled, I was hoping to find my all time favorite and woo hoo, there it was, “America, America.” That’s not to say that all of your creations are not impressive and outstanding. They are! “America, America” just resonates so deeply within my heart. Thank you for your talent, thank you for sharing with the love and generosity that you do and God bless your family.
Oh, Becca, each one is more beautiful than the one before. What a talented artist you are! Thank you so much for sharing with us.
BEAUTIFUL – yes it was a good year!
Sandra
These are some of my favorites, too!! I look forward to your daily creations…they NEVER disappoint. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful talent, Becca. Looking forward to many more projects this year.
I don’t know how you chose your projects; they’re all so beautiful. These are spectacular, but I haven’t seen you do anything that wasn’t. What a talent!
Thank you for posting all of these gorgeous creations in one place! Now I can bookmark this page to just keep coming back to for inspiration- Your work is simply amazing. Thank you for sharing!
I look forward each day to see what new “Amazing” creation you have posted. You’re my first blog stop every day! I hope you can find a way to archive your beautiful work – I spent some time just yesterday searching for the white card done with the poinsettia border. It was posted earlier than I remembered, but I enjoyed the scroll back through all the beautiful creations until I found it. I sincerely hope that you are well compensated by companies such as Spellbinders – you have caused me to “need” products that I had not looked at twice until you showed me how beautiful they could be! Thanks from the bottom of my heart for sharing your God given talent with us!
My dear Becca, you are truly an amazing artist and I thank you for sharing your talents with the rest of us. You inspire me to do better work. After reading your post about your family medical problems I feel an even closer kinship to you, as I too have been dealing with hubby’s chronic illness/disability for 35+ years, since our children were very young. I give you so much credit for being able to pursue your own craft in the midst of such turmoil. I know firsthand how impossible that can be most of the time. I look forward to each new post from you and consider you a new blessing in my life.
Thank you!

Sigh…. How wondeful.
Thank YOU for the memories.
~~Diane~~
Another year beautifully done – thank you for sharing with us!
Breathtaking beauty ! What an inspiration!
I enjoyed the walk down memory lane!
Just beautiful creations, all of them! Thank you so much for your inspiration.
They are all gorgeous! And all of them are favorites! LOL!
And what wonderful memories they were! Thanks…I LOVED seeing them again!
Just awesome!!
Oh Becca!
I catch my breath as I scroll through your creations and I marvel at the way you produce such works of beauty from paper/card, ribbon and pearls together with such inspirational sentiments.
Please don’t fret about the tutorials when you have so much on your plate.
Your entire blog is a tutorial in itself and it blesses me daily.
May you and yours be richly blessed in the year ahead!
*Hugs* Anne
Thanks for the review of some of your most beautiful pieces!! So glad I do not have to pick a favorite. That would just not be possible!!
Enjoyed going down memory lane of some of your projects. I also remember that stunning white ornament your made for one of Spellbinders events. Can’t pick my favorite either. Everything you produce are works of art. Hope things are slowing down for you so you get some “me” time.

Hi Becca,
I love seeing your amazing and beautiful cards all lined up like this! By the way, there is a way of searching for particular cards you’ve blogged using Google Reader. If you know the title you gave the blog (such as this one, “Thanks for the Memories”) you can scroll down through your blog on the Google Reader and call each one back up immediately. If you can give us the title of each of the blogs for these cards, we can find the original details. I’d love that! Thanks for sharing all of your cards, your creativity and your fabulous inspiration! Hugs to you.
Thanks for letting us visit your past projects. It made for a nice stroll down memory lane. You picked some of the best.
Can’t wait to see what 2010 will bring.
Thank you so much for posting your project faves! You are so amazingly gifted!! I’d personally like to thank you for all you share and I truly appreciate you. You’ve been blessed and you’ve blessed me by sharing your gifts. I pray in 2010 you have peace and joy and receive as much happiness as you give to others! You’re in my prayers. God Bless You!
Dearest Becca….Thanks for including us in you journey….your cards and ideas are truly amazing and a true “GOD GIFT” …… You have touched so many people with your awesome gift…..always look forward to seeing your labors of love…..May the God you love hold you gently in his hands….Thank You and Bless You and your family.
Wow!! These are all gorgeous and it was wonderful to see them all over again :D You have one amazing gift and thank you for sharing it with us!
Good Morning Becca
Thank you for the memories and they’ve been good memories. My self like Joyce make your site my first stop to start my day and I’m always excited to see what new creation you have to share.
Thanks again for the memories and I am so looking forward to all you’ll share this new year. Be blessed!
You’re work is outstanding!
Thanks to you, Becca!
A few of my favorites were in there. Thanks for all the inspiration you give Becca.
BECCA BECCA WELL, YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN. SHOWING THE BEST
OF 2009 WAS JUST WONDERFUL TO LOOK BACK ON AND NOW AM
ANXIOUSLY AWAITING 2010. I THANK GOD EVERY DAY FOR GIVING YOU
THIS TALENT. AND FOR YOU SHARING IT. SURE WOULD LIKE TO SEE
WHAT YOU ARE COMING UP WITH FOR 2010. ANY HINTS.

I loved everything you picked for best of 2009. Of course, I love everything you do. Thanks for sharing with us again and I look forward to seeing all your fabulous creations/inspirations in 2010.
Thank you again for sharing.
Sharon J.
I love all of these and couldn’t even begin to pick out a favorite. They are all absolutely gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing your talents.
Beautiful, thanks for showing these again! I think I even missed some of them the first time. I love your work, you inspire to buy … and play, but mostly I oogle over your work. Looking forward to the tutorials!
Yeah, the archives aren’t the quickest thing to find anything particular in but it is fun to see your projects again while searching. Who’s going to remember what they titled a blog post for every card anymore than people are going to figure it out by looking themselves. Your Labels help to narrow down the search, by a few hundred : )
Becca, you truly are AMAZING! God has surely gifted you with this wonderful creativity that shows in these beautiful creations. How can you choose a favorite? They are all awesome and inspiring!!!
Those are all brilliant projects. I have to admit that if there are any that I know I want to look back on I bookmark them as I am too lazy to look through the archives on any blog, oops :) Amazing samples from an Amazing woman he he thanks for sharing them with us :)

Becca….your cards are Beautiful!! Thank you for sharing your photos!
Becca, THANK YOU for sharing your inspiring creations and teaching me to look at my supplies and equipment in a new light. I feel very privileged to peek in on your truly creative mind !
Becca, it’s amazing what creations you come up with, they are really beautiful. I sure enjoy seeing what you’ve created and sharing with us. Thanks and have a great 2010!! God Bless
I have to agree these are GREAT… but then everything you do is! I wouldn’t have been able to pick! God Bless You!
Becca,
Yours cards are so inspiring.Looking back has reminded me why every morning I open my computer and look first at your blog.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. Have a great 2010
I’m glad you didn’t ask us to choose a favorite! They are all so beautiful and I enjoy strolling through your blog and seeing all the wonderful things you put on there. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
WOW! I am new to your blog and really enjoyed your “Year in Review”…such beautiful creations! I now realize that I need to sit down with a cup of coffee and take a look at your archives. Thank you for sharing such beautiful inspirations!
Gorgeous!
Good evening, Becca. it is so lovely to look back over your favourite projects during 2009 – I remember each and every one of them – truly beautiful – and looking forward, very much, to seeing your wonderful creations and inspiration during 2010. May I wish you God’s richest blessings for 2010.
Thank you for sharing your highlights. I just look at them again and again – they are truly magnificant. What a talent you have been blessed with. Looking forward to your tutorials.
I never tire of looking at your lovely creations. They are so inspiring! I remember all of these! You always come up with such new and creative ideas! Thanks for sharing your special talents with us!
You have done so many beautiful things this year that we can only be very thanksful that you share your art with us! Thank you so much.
I’m very curious to see what’s coming next, I only know that It will be again amazing!
Hi Becca,
We will be here when you get around to it please don’t worry!
Thanks for this awesome walk down memory lane!! They are all my favourites :o)
Your work inspires me so very much……
Love Candy
I love your review of 2009. Some of these creations I have never seen before. Must be from before I discovered you. I esp. liked the one with the woven ribbon. Did that have directions with the original post or will there be a tutorial?
Thanks for sharing all your talents and reminding me of all the things I was going to try to do this year! LOL!
Becca you never fail to amaze me. Your creations are so very lovely.
Loved seeing these wonderful creations of yours again – and yes, when you find a spare moment or two, we’d love tutorials. We all probably have visions dancing in our head of trying to recreate your masterpieces. They are all lovely – thanks for all the inspiration you’ve given us this year.
Becca, your work is simply exquisite. I would so LOVE to have lots of tutorials!! If you could post steps/supplies when you post new creations, that would be very much appreciated. Thank you for sharing.
I remembered most of them. thanks for refreshing our memories. Just love them all.
Becca,
Thanks for the walk down memory lane. Everything you design is a favorite for me. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful artistic talent with all of us. Cannot wait to see what you have in store for 2010.
Oh Becca God has given you such an incredible gift! Thanks for sharing it with all of us! Your work is way over most of us and it inspires us all to reach a little higher!!! Hugs and God bless!
Becca~
I am at a loss for words when I look at your creations. I have been book marking many of your works of arts and the tutorials you have done. I have to say that close to 95% of my BOOKMARKS have your name on them. I am sure that there will be more to come and looking forward to each and everyone of them. Thank-you for the memories also as I get my sister on the phone often to see if she has seen the newest creation from you yet so we can look at it together. God Bless.
I have no idea how you managed to narrow it down to these few, Becca. I could not have done it. Here’s to another great year of inspiration and Amazing Paper Grace!
Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. While we, eagerly, look forward to any and all tutorials, we also understand that you have had more than enough on your plate! If you can get them done, we’ll be very happy, if not, we’ll wait!
I love to come visit you everyday. There is always something inspiring. You manage to always think outside the box and come up with new, unusual and gorgeous ways to use supplies.
Thanks for all the great ideas. Here’s hoping that 2010 is a really good year for you and yours.

Becca, your artwork is absolutely beautiful. I make it a point to visit your blog every day to see what new and amazing pieces you create. Just love them. Thanks so much for sharing all of your work.
Those are so beautiful. I have juste discovered your site through the Spellbinders anniversary hop. I will be browsing thru your site for sure. You have “ignited” a little curious bug in me.
Thank you for sharing. You are truly gifted and such a beautiful source of inspiration. You encourage me to work every day to be inspired, like you, by God.
Take care. May God bless you. Hugs. Cindy
All of your projects are absolutely stunning!! Seeing all of them together was just amazing. You are so talented! Thanks for sharing your creativity with us; it’s all SO inspiring!
Charming!
Waiting for a tutorial how to make these flowers that the box
Wow Becca, I truly enjoyed that review of last year’s masterpieces. Thank you for the time taken gathering them together and thank God for the blessed gift He has given you.
Hugs,

Hugs,
Nancy
Well Becca – you know I love all your creations ( I print them off and put them in a folder!! – 2010 is started already) Looking forward to the future tutorials to add to the pics. You continue to give us so much pleasure and inspiration and because I visit you each day I feel as though you are part of my family – thank you.
Hugs

They were all just stunning. I loved them all.
I THANK YOU for the inspiration each day and all those tutorials you created for us. You are the BEST!
loved browsing through your lovely creations again!
and looking forward to any tutorials you are willing to share!
sandyh
Thank you so much for the year in review. I’m a regular visitor and you’re a constant source of inspiration for me but seeing all your projects in a row was simply awe inspiring.
Thank you for inspiring me to raise my level of paper crafting to another level.
All I can say is WOW! Each creation is stunning!
THANK YOU! You are an inspiration every day, looking forward to your beautiful works for 2010!
How could I look at these without commenting. I feel like I am in a museum. Your talent is so well spent. Thanks .
Your work is so very, very beautiful! When I go to Google Reader, I always check for a new post from you first. It is such a treat to see what you have done; thanks so much for sharing.
Becca…what a delightful walk down memory lane! Most of your highlights were my favorites as well. Thanks for the review of your amazing creativity at work!
Thanks for all of your creativity and your efforts to inspire us.
Hi Becca, what a clever way to remember ’09. These projects were all gorgeous, but so were the others you didn’t show. I too love all your work! I’m so grateful that you’re willing to share. You’re a marvelous teacher! You show us new products, (I also hope you are well compensated by the companies that have the products you use.) You convince me that I “need” them, in hopes that my card might look a little like yours, if I have them. But you also show me new uses for things I already have. You show me how to think outside the box! Your art is awesome! Your wit, caring, kindness and faith shine through! I hope your Hubby’s doing much better and you’re getting some much needed rest. I look forward to your tutorials, when things get better for you. Blessings! Patty W.
Thank YOU for the memories!!! Your work takes my breath away. Amazing. Look forward to all the new creations you make.
Thank you for this stunning look back at just a few of your absolutely amazing projects. Oh, what I would give to just spend a day in your studio, and watch you create your beautiful creations. There is just none quite like you. I actually stumbled onto your blog one night last year and have been stumbling back to your breath-taking blog ever since. God truly smiles on you when you create…
Even seeing these a second time, I’m still stunned by how fabulous everything is and I just can’t imagine the hours you have spent creating these masterpieces.
WOW, Becca, you’ve been SO prolific and each one is more gorgeous than the last! You have truly been blessed with artistic talent and a wonderful design sense.
Oh my word, your projects are amazing and gorgeous!!! Thank you for sharing them. Best wishes with all your future crafting!
Wow! your work is amazing! Thanks for sharing…
Louise C.
Wow! You are an amazingly creative and gifted young woman! I was so inspired by all of your beautiful creations!
