Thanks so much for all your well wishes. I know I’m being quiet – I’ve tried to answer emails, phone calls and Facebooks posts but I’m not quite there yet. I’m thankful that my craft table is waiting and although mojo is just a quiet as I am, we’ve been having a thoughtful conversation over the last week or so. On a moment to moment basis I looking for things to celebrate. This (to me) fits into that category so I thought I’d share.
There’s a new book scheduled to be released in print in January, but it’s already online as a download. Since the book is all about Nestabilities, I really, really, really wanted to be in it. I’m tickled to say that I’m in there with many other fabulous designers. There are more than forty five projects with instructions included.
If you click on the the photo above, it will take you to the link. Be sure to click on "see more photos" so that you can see some of the beautiful projects that are included! I think you all know me almost better than I know myself, lol. My project is one of those shown in the "see more photos". Can you tell which one, weigh in and let me know (sheesh, I wish I could set this up as a poll but I don’t know how)?
By the way, wanna see what’s on the shelf at your local Michaels store now ?
This is the book published this time last year that floored me because it was revealed with my project on the cover – a shock!! If you didn’t get a chance to see it before . . . well now, while you are strolling the aisles of Michaels, pick it up and flip through it. Just saying :-) Even though you can’t use coupons on books in Michaels, from what I could see, the price was listed at $8.99. The store in my area put them out about a week ago so I’m assuming they ‘re out everywhere.
Thanks for letting me share :-)
How exciting! Congrats and it looks fantastic!! I can’t wait to see it in person!
Another fantastic achievement! Well deserved, and coming at a perfect time in your life. God bless you for sharing your gifts with us and inspiring us so much. Thank you, dear Becca.
Oooh I’m hoping I can get these books here in Australia – or I’ll be hitting up some of my blog buddies to do some shopping for me – LOL. You ALWAYS amaze me with your creativity with nesties – maybe that’s why your blog starts with the word AMAZING!?!??!
I’m soo glad you are finding some comfort in your crafting at this time – I’m sure your mojo is just giving you a bit of time off too – it’ll be there when you’re ready for it!!!
Hugs
xXx
Wow how beautiful. You deserve it. You are so talented and you make such beautiful items. Everyone should have the possibility to look at them. Congratulations on this success. I will look for it as I shop.
Blessings,
Gale
I know exactly which one is yours…hehe Its the very first picture that displays on “see more photos”. :) Love everything you create.
very obvious – yours is the first project featured under the more photos – is is so beautifully yours!! :-) Great to see you have been blessed in this manner and at this particular time.
How wonderful Becca! It IS a time to celebrate the gift God has given you! I’m thankful that word of mouth brought me to your blog, it’s gorgeous! I’m going now to look at your fabulous project, and I know I’ll be able to pick it out right away!
I’m praying for you!
Congratulations on being published again. I will wait and buy the actual book. I can’t decided if your entry is picture #1 or #2 . Picture #1 because it is a delightful set and you like to do sets . Plus becauseI think the sentiment is from Quiet Fire and you love those stamps .
Or #2 because you love to use the the ends of Fancy Tags behind other shapes and they are on the candle. LOL
But I think it is picture #1 –
OK, I went and looked, and I have to say yours is the beautiful red and white set. Is that right?
I agree with Robin, no doubt, which is yours, and it´s so fantastic hun. I always just loves everything you´re creating sooo soooo much, and this is also just so stunning dear friend, and if anybody deserves to get inthere it´s definately you, with all the beauty you are always creating and sharing with all of us sooo generously. You are sooo talented Becca, and m very sure I´m not the only one, who´s very jealous on those skills ha ha ha. I just love all your work hun.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family sweet friend.
Biiiig hugs Maryann
Amazing as always, always admire your true gift and generosity in sharing with others how to make lovely cards and gifts.
Congrats, Becca :) Little gifts of joy from the hand of God for you (((hugs))).
You are so very gifted, Becca, and I’m so very thankful to see that the Lord is giving you so much joy through your amazing crafting talents to help you through this time.
btw……….The first or second one is my pick but they’re all beautiful.

Oh Becca, I can’t wait we arrive in the USA in just over 18 days time for a 5 week holiday from Australia, I know I am going to be in my glory and will probably have to pay excess baggage on the way home. I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these books, I just saw the Spellbinder Nestabilities book for pre order at Custom Crops.
I’m thinking #1 in the “see more pictures” is yours. I’d know that bow tying anywhere!
Yep #1 is yours..I’m sure of it ;-)
hugs, Elly
Becca, congratulations! how exciting. I will be looking for this book. IMHO they need to make a book with just your work in it with step outs and all. I will go and take a look at the Spellbinders book too. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
I reckon number one is yours as well, I think I know those bows, i’ve seen them too many times!
Sending warm regards, in your time of need. Thinking fondly of you,
Alyssa
I agree with the others….the first picture after the ‘see more photos’!! Got to be you.
Congratulations indeed!
Keep going and you’ll get there…I think you are being so brave even at the moment so when the time is right you will flourish, yet again!
Congrats!!! I get excited just because I know who you are LOL!!!! I’m saying yours is the first project after clicking on more pictures, seems like it has your name all over it!
Looks like page no.1 is yours, the red collection.
It’s lovely, as per usual ;)
This is Wonderful Becca!! Now I can pick up a copy and be sure I will be looking for it on the shelves at my local Micheal’s store. No one deserves these accolades more than you. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful talents. k
Hi Becca I had already bought the second book over here in the UK but after reading your blog I have just purchased the new one ( I’m too impatient to wait for it to come out in print! Lol! ). Oh and it’s just as gorgeous…your designs (and not gotgetting the other designers ) are just A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! It’s just full of hints and tips too. Well done!!
Thinking of you still in your time of need.
Love and hugs from across the ‘Pond’

WOW! That is so very cool. Congratulations, Becca. I’d guess that the first photo (red/white) is your work. It’s just so you.
Congratulations, Becca!! I vote for photo number 1 as being yours. I’d know your creativity anywhere!! I can’t wait to get both books!!
Becca, the book looks wonderful! Congrats on being published again. They should publish all your work. It is just AMAZING. I am continuing to keep you in my prayers. God bless!
Page 1 is my pick of yours.
Oh my GOSH! It’s easy to tell .. yours is the red and white, the first project that comes up .. the Spirit of Christmas .. absolutely stunning!! How excited you must be!! Congratulations!
The perfect bows give you away, Becca. The Spirit of Christmas is so ‘you’. Congrats on being published … it’s very deserved.
Becca,The beautiful red and white “Spirit of Christmas” just has to be yours. No one else can do beautiful bows like you. Stamping is so comforting when we go through trying times. I continue to pray for you.
I think yours is #1 because I learned that precious little origami flower from you! And the whole set is gorgeous, as is everything you tough!
Hang in there my dear, and congratulations on being in the book!
Hi Becca,
The book looks fabulous! I would defiinitely order it if it was in print. I collect magazines and go back to them very often to get my mojo going! It is difficult to pay the same price for something to be downloaded versus paying the same price for someting to hold in my hand. I would love to look at the book and I might have to rethink having it downloaded and print it! I’m glad you have your craft room to help you mend. Keeping you in my thoughts!
You are the very first project!! I had a few doubts when I cam to #3…but still think you did #1….awesome. And, how proud you must be to have your thoughtful, gorgeous work showcased!!!!!
Gonna get that book for certain…….and praying for you as you work through your grief, celebrate John’s life with you, and get back to “dee-lighting” all of us!!!
Fondly.
Congratulations Becca. My guess is for #1. Your elegance and class ‘ooze’ out of it in that old familiar Becca sort of way :)
Glad things are slowly looking up. God Bless you today, this week, and in all your days ahead!
Congratulations, Becca … that’s really great news, and very well-deserved!!
If your mojo has been quiet, then I’ve not noticed!! Your latest two Christmas cards are utterly gorgeous with wonderful details … so lovely to just sit and gaze at!
I’m keeping you in my thoughts.
Definitely #1 – the bow and sentiment give it away!! Congrats!!
Still praying for you!
Hi Becca,
Congratulations on another milestone. What an accomplishment to be published in another magazine again.
Now, after viewing the pictures, my instant is the first picture shown in red and white. It has your sense of style and flair written all over it. Boy, after saying that I sure hope I’m right!
I look forward to your post everyday, and I always check in first thing in the morning. It truly makes my day to read your posts and study your projects.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful projects!
Blessings as always,
Cathie
Of course we can tell which project set is yours- the first set shown! Beautiful work as always Becca, and thank you for the heads up on the availability of both books. A while back you shared the photo book you had made that was bound – did you ever figure out a way to market that book? That was gorgeous! Thank you again for sharing your gifts with all of us. Keeping you close in thoughts and prayers.
Wow…and congratulations! I’m going to check out that link as soon as I get a chance to.
BTW…why not put a bug in the ear of Spellbinders that a scroll would be a really nice template. I have made several cards lately that I would loved to have a scroll for my sentiment.
Thanks for sharing…and I’ll certainly check out Michaels!
Marian
Becca, thanks for sharing your beautiful work. God sure is blessing you with your talent! I will definitately stop at Michaels and get your book. I believe the “Spirit of Christmas” card is yours. Again, thanks so much and keep sharing your beauiful work!
Congrats! I’m thinking the red & white set… ;)
Got to make a trip to Michaels. Congrats. What an honor. Your project is no. 1 (really no.1 IMO)) Your bow gives you away!Again, Congrats, you deserve the best and the more of the best is yet to come. (Still lifting you up)
Bought it right away!!! I can’t wait to look at it now!!! I’m sure I’ll be entertained for hours!! Thanks for sharing that with us!
Congratulations for having you project published.
I would say the red one is your because it is the only one with the beautiful bow.
Becca I think of you often, you are in my thought and prayers and will continue to be.
AndreaA
Oh that book looks neat, but I will wait for it to come out in January, I like to sit and turn pages :)
I need to get that book from Michaels too, my daughter asked me to do her wedding invites!
Hi Becca
Yours HAS to be number 1. It is just youcall over.
So lovely to have you back sharing with us again. You should be very proud of yourself.
God Bless you and your family.
Xx
Becca,
I can’t wait! I’m buying the wedding book today, if I can find it! I’ll buy the other book when it’s available, also. You have lifted my spirits and inspired me, so much, over the past year and a half, through the love shining through your creations. In fact, I have been able to pour my heart and soul into my poetry and prayer bookmarks, which carry sincere prayers to our Lord and King. People seem to really like them and I sell many of them to churches and organizations. I always tell them that it was Him, not me, who created these words–just a vessel tryin’ to follow His path. You are probably wondering how you helped this to happen….It’s just your quiet “being” and consistently being here, on this site. God works through each and every one of us in different ways. Through Him, you have touched my soul. May God Bless You. Take care.
Congratulations, Becca. Someday you’ll be publishing a book of just your work alone! And I’ll be first in line to buy it. Wishing you a peaceful holiday filled with love.
This looks like a wonderful book to have! I’m guessing yours is the first project, although I also wondered about #4, but #1 is so your style! I’m so glad you have crafting to help you through this time! What a great way to just get lost in creating. Take care and we love anything you post!
OK, I’ve already commented once on this post but I just thought of something else! Becca- Have you ever thought of doing your own tutorial cd’s or publications? I absolutely LOVE all of your work and would love to purchase your tutorials!!! Just a thought for you!!
Dear Becca, I wish you had a book all of your own! It wasn’t hard to find your contribution to this book because we always look for Becca’s bows!! Those beautiful red bows!! Congratulations and I can’t wait to get a copy!!!!! So nice to hear your smile in this blog today. You can’t know how blessed I feel to have you for a sister in the Lord. Take care and know that you are still on my heart and in my prayers every day.
I knew when I saw it that it was your work. Congrats Becca, such a reward for all your work. Keep busy girl and God Bless!
Becca !!! Congratulations on being published it’s not a surprise your work is so good. I think your entry is picture number one from more photos. The red and white. Because of the beautiful bow on the card.
Becca,
God has blessed you with a gift that you are using to bring joy into others lives. To God be the glory! Continue to serve Him well.
I am guessing the first one, the red one, is yours. Thanks for sharing your amazing talent with us. God bless.
Yeah, got to get to Michaels to get that book.
Congrats Becca!! I think yours is the first one under see more photos, it certainly looks like your beautiful style:)
Congratulations — that is so wonderful! I think yours is the first one–I know you like ribbon and your bows came to mind. =)
Hi Becca,
Just wanted you to know that, in spirit, you will be sitting at a lot of our Thanksgiving tables. Hope you know you’re not alone.
I say it’s page #1. It’s a beautiful book. Thank you for all the great ideas!
No doubt in my mind the your’re #1 (in all ways). What a beautiful card & a fine looking book. God bless you & have peaceful Thanksgiving.
Becca, The book looks great. I say the first picture on more photos is yours. Only you can tie a great bow like that. I hope you are going to let us know which is you. With love
What an absolutely breathtaking cover! Just like all of your work, though. I’ll be on the lookout at my local Michaels. Praying that each day the hurt eases just a little. God seems to have blessed you with a wonderful husband and I’m sure the lovely memories of him will be reflected in your work as your “mojo” begins to reassert itself.
How exciting, and I am so happy for you. Your such a blessing to the crafting world. Such inspiration from one woman…you are awesome.
Happy Thanksgiving, although this will be a difficult one for you and your family. Keep your memories close to your heart and you will be fine.
CONGRATULATIONS BECCA!!! I THINK the Lord knew you needed just a little “pick me up!!!” God is GOOD!!!! As for guessing, I think the first one–red set is yours!!!! Have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!! Hope you’re spending it with your kids!!!!
Becca, you are so talented–of course your project is on the cover–IT’S GORGEOUS!!! Thanks for the heads up on the spellbinders book. Have a fabulous holiday!
Glad to see you creating…Congrats on another Publication!!! Your work is FABULOUS!!! I think your project is the very 1st (Red and White) project. It is AWESOME!!!
Valerie Martin
I spotted it right off ,It’s the first project (Red and White). It is beautiful, You do such wonderful work.
Hi Becca,
I’m so happy that your crafting has given you some pleasure of late. You deserve that release and comfort.
Of course, the firsts ‘more photos’ is yours. No pearls on any of the others and, we know you so well that we couldn’t miss your work … EVER.
Thank you for the heads up. I’ll wait for the actual book. It’s too good to just have a download, printed version.
Thanks for the idea to get the Wedding Book, too. Hope they have it, here in Ontario. Will look the next time I’m there.
Hugs … S
Oh yours is definitely the one that comes up first after you click “see more photos.” I can tell your ribbon work anywhere! And I didn’t realize that was your work on the cover of that Wedding book, but I don’t know why I didn’t realize it because now that I know it’s obvious! Absolutely beautiful! I’m so glad to see you getting back to your designing table. We missed you. Hope you continue to be lifted up by all of us who care about you!
The red and white set is yours, I just know it. :) Beautiful in every way. I’ll be sure to look for your book the next time I get into Micheal’s (hopefully in the next day or so). I hope they have it at our store.
wow – some great projects in the book – I’ll have a look out for that in the UK and maybe try Amazon.
I recon (and I haven’t looked at any of the other comments – so this is my very own guess – is that you did the Christmas set in red and white on the first page of ‘more photos’. The projects there ooze Becca!!!
Take care, and take one day at a time – you’re doing a great job and you have my full admiration.
Paula, Derbyshire, UK. x xx
ooh Becca – just come back to say I’ve ordered it on Amazon (pre-order as its not been released) for a great price of £10.99 – can’t wait to get my hands on it!!! Thanks for the heads up and look forward to at least trying my hand at some of the super projects included.
Paula, Derbyshire, UK x x x
I am guessing that the red and white one is yours! Thanks for sharing you heart with all your followers, love you
Nichol
I would have to say page 1 is yours. Thanks for inspiring me more than you know. keeping you in my thoughts and prayers liz
Becca, after looking at the “more photos” I too believe yours is the first one! Gorgeous!!!
Last winter a friend of mine was at CHA (I wasn’t able to attend) and she obtained a copy of the”Create Your Dream Wedding” at the Spellbinders booth, in fact it is signed by Stacey Caron and it’s one of my special treasures. I love your project and it’s easy to see why yours was selected to be on the cover!
Love ya girl, Pam
Huge Congratulations, Becca.
You must be thrilled!
If I had to guess I’d say you were on the cover of the NEW book as well ~
Love, Candy
Becca, that was WAY to easy! You are the red and white Christmas set! I remember when you found out you were the cover of the Wedding book. That’s still a gorgeous card. As for being quiet…do what you can, when you can. We’ll all be here when you come looking for us. Know that you and yours are in our thoughts and hearts.
Hugs,
R/
Yeah for you….you deserve to be on the front Becca! Your work is always so beautiful AND inspiring. ((Hugs))
Debby
Yup It IS photo #1 !!
Suzanne at Quiet Fire gave it away when she offered her Congratulations on Becca being published using A Quiet Fire Stamp :)
It is on her site .
I believe yours is on page one of the more photos :) Congratulations on being published!
Easy peasy popsy, it is the very 1st one :o) No mistaking your fab style Becca!! As always, it is so beautiful, as is the book cover one on weddings.
Your work is so beautiful, it does not surprise me that it has been published. But oh what a hit, to be on the cover! Congratulations, you deserve it!
Both of these books look like they will be really fun and inspiring!
Gorgeous, inspiring stuff!! Thanks, Becca…<3
I downloaded the Nestabilities Basics and Beyond this morning and I am absolutely thrilled with it. Thanks for posting the link. I really like getting ebooks and I am thrilled to add this to my collection.
Congratulations on the publication….just a note you can use a Joanns coupon on books and magazines at Michaels…they do not exclude them on there coupon. TFS…Noel
Wow, what a beautiful book, of course it would be with your gorgeous work on the front cover.
We don’t have Michaels here in UK so
Thanks to Paula, from Derbyshire, for mentioning we can get this from Amazon as pre-order for only £10.99, I can’t wait to get my hands on it too. I know what to ask Santa for now. lol
I’ll look out for the new book too in January, I love leafing through a proper paper book, though I’m tempted to get the downloadable one too so I can look through it before then.
Becca, I love your pretty cards too, both so different, and both so gorgeous.
hugs
Alexandra
I can tell that yours is…”Hold onto the Spirit of Christmas”. It is Becca perfection!
Well number 1 immediately shouted ‘Becca’s’ at me really loudly :o)
Congratulations again. Sheer beauty!
Hugs
Anne (UK)
The very first one is your creation with the beautiful red bows. Your classy style shines through all your workpieces. Thanks for sharing your talent/skills.
Oh my gosh Becca! How wonderful for you to be published in a book. A magazine publish is great, but a book…. It’s forever! Congrats.
And please don’t think you have to reply to any of my coments… I make them because I think you make lovely things. You work so hard and you deserve them! (as if we think of our crafting as work ;) I hope you have as good a Thanksgiving day as you can.
Hugs, Jessica
Hey Becca, I think yours is the red and white set. The bow’s look like yours.
But all of them are so pretty. I think I need both these books! Thanks for sharing your work, and play with us. sounds like the mojo is on holiday, and that’s ok. I think when you sit at your table, it’ll come when you need it!
Can’t wait for the Spellbinders book. Annies Attic seems to be hitting the nail on the head with their books lately!
Thanks for sharing this with us.
Hugs, Jess
Dear, Dear Becca, I am sure that we, your friends, are not near as surprised as you are. I always said
your designs would make a great book and would sell like mad! Not just for others to make cards like yours but just because they are so amazing and beautiful to look at! But truly, just so you know I am sincere, must your bows always be sooo big cause sometimes they hide such lovely cards! Ha ha
I’m sure it is the items on the first page in red/white. They have your “signature” stamped all over them! Absolutely beautiful – just like you.
