Blog Candy: I’m Celebrating . . .
Posted by Becca Feeken on Saturday, February 6th, 2010
. . . 2 years of blogging!! More than 500 posts and 1000 pictures behind me, the time has unbelievably flown by! Take it from me, the pleasure has been all mine!! Getting to know you all, keep busy and growing with in the craft have been a blessing.
In celebration of the two year anniversary, I’m giving some blog candy. Central to what I’m giving is my one of my favorite Spellbinders Frames. I thought it would be a neat item to give because through feedback you all have inspired me to do a tutorial on the Woven Lattice Card that I made in December. I should have the tutorial ready and posted in the next day or two :-)
In the meantime, here are the rules for the Blog Candy. Feel free to submit your name once each day from Sunday, February 7th until the end of the candy which will be Friday, February 12th at Midnight. I’m including a special secret bonus, if the name that I’ve picked has entered at least 5 of the 6 days the Blog Candy is available. I’ll announce the winner on Saturday morning and will give the winner 48 hours to respond to me through my contact page before I pick the next name.
Okay, so here’s what I’d love for you to share in your comment . . . my daughter told me about a show she watched called the Buried Life. On the show the four guys who are cast members have a list of 100 things they want to do before they die. For every one thing they cross off their list, they help a stranger cross one item off of the strangers "Bucket List". Surely you’ve heard of "Bucket List" right? If not, please google it before you leave your comment. For each day you enter, I want to know, one item from your "Bucket List." They say not to put your dreams off until "someday" so I hope this is the start of a list for you. :-) Here are some of the listed examples they checked off on the show – plant a tree, help someone build a house, give a stranger a $100.00 bill, send a message in a bottle, pay for someone’s groceries . . . you get the idea? I can’t wait to see what you come up with.

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

I would like to donate my time and some supplies to teach papercrafting at a woman’s shelter in town.
1st off let me say thank you for taking the time to share all your dreams, struggles and spectacular projects. You are a blessing to many Becca. It’s funny, my husband and I are married 35 years and tend be same old same old. This last summer we stepped out of our comfort zone and flew out west for a wonderful 3 week tour of Arizona, Utah and Ca. The newness and beauty of each day really sparked something fresh within our relationship. So… each month we plan to try something new. Our church has so many wonderful opportunities to serve that we can start right there. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.
To see God’s beauty at its grandest … to see the redwood trees!!
Congratulations on your 2 year blog anniversary! I am thankful that you share your creativity with us in this way.
Volunteer to mentor girls.
I would like to learn to roller skate. I only went once, when my daughter was in grade school, and spent most of my time flat on the floor. Congrats on 2 years! I LOVE seeing your creations, and trying some of the ideas myself! Thanks Becca, for all you do!
I read that you can volunteer in Africa to work with elephants. Don’t know if I ever will, but I really want to.
#1 on my bucket list is to visit Switzerland and Austria in the summer. I love the mountains but don’t care for snow.
tour the west coast of US
On my bucket list is to see the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade and the Tournament of Roses parade in person. I’ll be back every day to put something else from my list!
Hike to the top of a local hill
I want to be financial able to help my best friend with her medical and family finance needs more than I have been able to do so far. Thank you for the inspiration, I am going to work on my Bucket list. Thank you again.
I would like to say thank you Becca for sharing your beautiful creations with us. Yours is my favorite blog I follow because yours is a sweet spirit! I know that when I browse through your lovely entries that I will sense the presence of God. Next, thank you for your very generous blog candy offer! Someone will be blessed by it indeed! Finally, on my bucket list I will one day hand a homeless person (not someone with their hand out on a street corner) but someone I see sleeping outside, a $100 bill. And I will pay for them to stay in a hotel-not a dirty, cheap motel, but one where they can clean up and sleep well for 2 or 3 nights. This is just one of the desires of my heart! Blessings to you!
WOW generous blog candy! I’ll try and post a couple of days later this week, but am having neck surgery Monday and will be out of it for several days.

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

Thanks Becca for a chance to win. One of the things on my bucket list is to see the Redwoods and we are going there in June. Lucky me—
I would like to go out of the country sometime.
Becca; first off Congratulations on your 2nd year anniversary of your blog.
I so enjoy visiting your blog each and every day. You give us all such great inspiration and I thank you for that.
Also, what a wonderful and gracious giveaway you are offering.
Guess now is as good time as ever to start with my ‘bucket list’. I wish to stop smoking within the next 6 months
Colleen
Your creations are so inspiring and beautiful! I would love to vist Italy again and maybe spend about a month there. It is a beautiful country.
Congratulation on your 2 year blog anniversary!
My first thing on the bucket list is to get a college degree….
Congratulations on your 2 year anniversary. I think I must have followed your blog every day for nearly the whole of that time – at least, since I started blogging and my 2 year anniversary is on the horizon as well.
One thing I have on my ‘bucket list’ is to cruise the Norwegian Fjords. It’s been a dream of mine for years but somehow have never got to do it. One day …..
Now I’ll have to sit and think of other things and make them happen rather than just wait to see what the days bring.
I have a few things on my list.. hard to choose just one. First of all, congratulations on two years! You provide a LOT of inspiration and I always aspire to make bows like yours. (Thanks for the video by the way). One of the things on my list is to buy my dad a steak dinner sometime, just him and me.
Congrat’s on the blog #’s and ty for giving us all a chance to win such wonderful candy.
My wish/goal is to drop some weight. sighs…such a permanent battle…smiles…
Congrats…..to me :)….. 2 years of YOU!!!!!!!!
Congratulations on your 2nd anniversary. How exciting! One thing on my bucket list is to visit Australia.
Thanks for the chance to win.
It is on my bucket list to go on a cruise. Panama, Alaska, doesn’t matter.
To see a part of this great big world.
Learn to speak French fluently
Hi, congrats!! Two years, yippee. Love everything you do.
Happy 2nd Blogerversary!
One thing I have always wanted to do is visit Hawaii.
Thanks for the first chance at your awesome blog candy.
Congratulations on your anniversary! Your work is awesome; thanks for sharing it with others!
I would like to learn more about computers so that I could have my own blog some day!
Thanks!
Jenny L.
Thanks for your wonderful inspiration Becca! I want to sky dive even though I am very afraid of heights!
What fun Rebecca! Congratulations on your blogaversary!!!!! One item on my Bucket List is take a trip to London. That’s a biggie, and I certainly hope I get to do it someday!
Congratulations. You are one of the few blogs that I take the time to check and read regularly. I love your cards and work. They are always so beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for all you do and for sharing it with us.
Now for my bucket list item: Go on a stamping cruise with my friends. I have never been on a cruise but I think it would be absolutely awesome for it to be a stamping cruise and be able to share all the fun with my closest friends.
Hi Becca
Congratulations! What an achievement – 500 posts and 1000 pictures! And every one a winner I might add! I feel I should be offering you blog candy, rather than the other way around, as you give so much of yourself and your talent!
One of the things I want to do is visit all of those people on my Christmas card lists, especially the elderly ones, whom I haven’t seen for years. Every December as I write the cards and letters, I think to myself that the next year will be the one when I will make those visits. Needless to say, we are now in February…..!
Thank you for giving me a nudge in the right direction.
Thanks and hugs
Anne (UK)
I want to see and photograph the aurora borealis!
congrats Becca on your anniversary..that’s awesom!!! on my list I’d love to be able to help all of the homeless people in our country. I think there is no need for our country to have homelss living on the streets with no food/shelter. I always was taught to take care of your own before you go off and help take care of others (meaning other countries). Don’t get me wrong, I love that we help other countries, but our own should be on the list first.
Thanks for achance to win your awesom blog candy.
Hugs

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Congratulations on 2 years of creativity & inspiration! I would love to go on a mission trip.
Congratulations! Your blog and all your creations are so awesome! Thanks for all you share…..One of the items on my bucket list is to sort all my years of photographs so I can share them with my family.
Thank you Becca for giving so much of yourself to help all of us. I’ve learned many things from watching your video tutorials. I’m a visual learner…so I love when you make a video…I’m 76 so pictures work best for me.. I loved your medallian series and got the punch and did it I watched your tutorial several times to be able to do it.
I don’t have a list so to speak but I would love to travel more. I would love to go to the Holy Lands if my health permits…and other special places like Lourdes and a place in Turkey that has strong spiritual history.
Thank you for this opportunity to share.

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

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

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

Take a trip to Scotland and play the bagpipes.

Happy Monday, Becca!
Another item for my bucket list is to start recylcing more things at home to be more eco-friendly.
Well, I just did one of my bucket item, purchasing a Red purse.
So another much bigger one is a major road trip of the western US, to see the National Parks..
I would like to finally find the inner, skinnier me. ~C8>
Day 2….. You know, when you are a crafter, and you sew and quilt, make cards, paint and draw, etc. etc., you accumulate a lot of stuff. I want to better organized everything in my home this year. I think that would make life more simple. Thank you for a chance to win that fun candy you’ve so generously offered. Blessings Becca! Patty W.
On my bucket list……be the weight I was meant to be.
Thanks for the chance.
I love your talent and thank you so much for the inspiration. I would love to take all of my 5 grandchildren on a trip to Disneyland or world.
I think my next thing to do before i die would be to go on a world cruise, getting to glance at the different cultures and peoples lives around the world…. am I nosey?
Looks like you have reading material for a week! I would like to add to my bucket list to share more time with my husband.
Jan Castle
Day 2, but its your Day 3!!!!!
Would like a loving family, things went terrible when my mum died.

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

Third item on my list…to finish what I start!
Day 3 – Wow, you really having me thinking about this. I would like to relearn Spanish. We live in a large hispanic community and it would be very beneficial.
Day 3….. What a dream it would be to go to Ireland, the land of mine and my husband’s ancestors. I’ve read it’s really beautiful there! I’d love to see the castles and churches for myself and try to find the place where our families came from, and learn more about their stories. Thank you Becca, for a chance to wish and daydream. Also thank you for a chance to win your great blog candy. Oh, I love your gorgeous projects! Thank you for sharing! Blessings! Patty w.

# 3 for me> to have my house in good order all at one time! Especially my craft area!
#3 To get better organized in my craft area.
Guess I missed Feb. 9th since it’s already 1:47 a.m. Sorry, but had to check your blog before I go to bed, can’t miss a day. The second wish on my list is to see both of my son’s come to know Jesus Christ. There’s nothing more important to me than to know my kids have a secure eternity in heaven.
One thing I would love to do is to learn a second language, like spanish or Italian.
BECCA BECCA THIS COMMENT IS FOR 2/9/10. COULDN’T FIND THE
AREA TO PUT IT / JMY BUCKIET LIST HAS A RATHER DIFFERENT TYPE
OF IDEA TODAY. WE HAVE A ROOM FOR THE COMPUTER, CRAFTS, BOOKS
YOU NAME IT. MY IDEA IS TO STRAIGHTEN IT SO THAT IT IS A PLEASANT
PLACE TO GO INSTEAD OF CONGESTED ROOM. I AM SURE MY HUSBAND
WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY WITH THAT. I AM A LITTLE LATE BECAUSE
TODAY WAS MY BIRTHDAY AND WE WENT OUT TO DINNER AND THEN SOME FRIENDS CAME OVER. ANOTHER IDEA ON MY BUCKET LIST IS TO
MEET YOU AS A BIRTHDAY GIFT. YOU CANNOT IMAGINE HOW MUCH MY
CARD MAKING HAS CHANGED I STARTED READING YOUR BLOGS. THANK
YOU FOR SHARING ALL YOUR IDEAS WITH US./
CYNTHIA B.
Bucket list: I would like to learn the Italian language.
I guess my second bucket list item would be to go back to school and finish up to get my degree. No one in my family of 9 ever finished. I want to do that for me!
[...] Friday night at Midnight to enter for the blog candy. You can read about the rules and enter HERE. I’m thoroughly enjoying reading your b-list items — I hope you read some of the [...]
Hello again,
I am loving all the additions.
My third “B” list item is to drive a school bus! Seems unlikely but one never knows. I think it would be fun, for while!
#3 for me would be to learn to snowshoe..and this is doable and maybe next week when I am off from teaching! sUSAn
Day 4 and one I’ve been trying for for what seems years (that’s because it is – lol!). To get my craft room/studio finally finished. Every time I start to work on it something, like real life, gets in the way. It would be good to have my craft stuff in one place instead of spread all over the house!
You are amazing Becca. I keep a tab for your site constantly open on my browser.
“B” list, I would love to take our disabled son to see all 48 of the US states in the “lower 48″. He tries so hard each day not to let life get him down and he loves history.
Velda
Can’t sleep so I thought I would enter my day 4 bucket list item. I want to be healthy enough to go on a mission trip without worry about my heart.
I would like to teach people who can’t afford to pay for classes how to make cards and boxes. Thank you for giving us a chance in winning amazing blog candy. Congratulations on your 2 year anniversary and on the 500 posts and 1000 pictures. It is amazing! We love your site! Keep it coming. You are soooo talented.
Thanks
Lizette
Congratulations again! Third on my list would be a return to the Bahamas, WITH my husband this time (he didn’t want to go on the one trip I’ve made – that I WON! – so I took my best friend*). Hubby’s a great photographer & really missed out on some fantastic “Kodak moments,” lol!
*Side note: if you ever win a trip, make sure your spouse goes with, because the IRS gets a third of the value of the prize. I was more than happy to take my best friend with me to a “foreign land” – we were both a little dazzled – heck, just getting a passport was exciting!
Congrats on you anniversary. I would like to be able to physically see my daughter in Japan.
I would love to donate a large sum to the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, to help find a cure. CONGRATS!
#2. Another thing on my bucket list would be to help a struggling family out at Christmas time. I would like to provide all the groceries for a big Christmas dinner, as well as a tree with lots of presents under it :)
I would like to attend daily mass for a month straight!
I always wanted to dig for old bones – in Egypt. I love history.
See all my grandchildren grown and healthy and happy with their chosen path in life!
Well…let’s see…the third thing on my bucket list is to have a designer come to my house and fix my scrapbooking room! I know…this wish is a selfish one…but, I am so tired of moving stuff and re-organizing things!
I think my 3rd thing to do is to discover something never seen before. And keep it my secret. How amazing would that be?
my 4th is to move closer to my family as I hardly ever get to see them
Congratulations on TWO years!!!!! Wow!!!! What an accomplishment!!! I must have started coming here when your site was still in it’s infancy. My Bucket List would be a little selfish to win one of your Blog Candy’s – lol and to return to Italy. I lived there for 6 years back in the 70’s and I miss it!
I would like to actually be in shape and stay in shape.
my bucket list today is
maybe one day to be able to have a craft studio, and open it free for anyone willing to learn about card making and scrapbooking, this has been a major big dream for the last 8 years, maybe one day, who knows!

one of my bucket list items has been to take my boys to see the Grand Canyon – it’s a WOW event that I highly recommend everyone to do!
#3—-Learn more about my ancestry, especially on my fathers side. Thanks
#4 for me, to go to a sick children hospital and read and play games with the children. I believe that children is our greatest asset.
Becca,
Well I’m on # 4 now….that would be to see the sun set over the Grand Canyon.
Hugs,
~~Diane~~
# 3 – you are really making me think – that’s good. I’d love to do something really great for my brother. He’s always been a big support to me.
Bucket List–go on a cruise (anywhere!)
Being alone on an island to be in communication with God and ask him to guide me in decisions to take.
I’ve enjoyed reading these entries! Very inspiring to all of us. On my newly-formed list (!) is my desire to work out on a regular basis so that I will feel GOOD in my later years. I’m actually working hard on this one at the present time!
Another thing on my list is to visit Germany where my grandfather grew up.
This is fun, thinking of what could be and then what should be. I am obese, that is hard to write, and i MUST get myself into a healthy shape. So I don’t actually think this is a bucket list but more of a must do. Thanks for listening, and thanks for your beaufiful art.
I would love to see the Grand Canyon!
#3. Wow! Love today’s card. Beautiful!
The next thing on my bucket list is to help someone else that is going through a rough patch. Maybe help them find God when they have forgotten where to look.
WOW, so enjoyed reading some of the comments here.
Becca, you are such an inspiration to us all. Your card creations are absolutely Stunnig. Have gotten so many wonderful ideas/layouts on my cards just by your creativity. I thank you.
Ok for #3 today;which by all right should had been first on my list; but for #3 ,that is to get my craft room more Organized. I think I would feel more ambitious about working in there if it wasn’t so messy. I just need to learn to pick things up and put away once I’m finished.
Colleen
Next on my list – learn a second language! Very difficult for me since i haven’t even mastered my native language!!
Another item on my bucket list would be to visit Germany to see where my Mom was raised.
Today, here in the Mid Atlantic and right in the bulls eye of the second blizzard in four days, I would say my bullet list wish for today would be to vacation in someplace warm and sunny, perhaps Bermuda, where we went for our honeymoon over 42 years ago!
Mary
My bucket list starts with being able to take my entire family on a dream vacation.
Take a cruise to Alaska…
as my bucket list grows i hope my imagination does too. another item on my bucket list is to sky dive. the only thing wrong with that one is as i get older my fear of heights makes that quite near implausible. jump out of a perfectly good plane … really now.
Day 4…here already!
4. I would like to live in a smaller house with a BIG CRAFT ROOM.
Day #3 To be able to help someone financially that are in desperate need,wheter it be with food,clothing or just pay their monthly bills for one month. If only I’d win a small lottery!!!! I would make someone happy!!!
What a great give-away as usual!!! I just love your site and all the eye candy you create!!!
I could be the only one that entered the contest and not WIN!!! LOL
My dream would be to be able to create gorgeous cards like you do they just amaze me the talent you have been givin
Hugs Jen in Ohio
yeap Im snowed in and bloggin 2 day
I decided last night that running (or maybe just walking!) a marathon would be fun… no really it would. Several years ago – getting over my fear of heights – I walked the annual bridge run/walk in Charleston SC with my sisters & Mom (75 years young!) Every since then I’ve thought about the marathon… now I need to do more than just think about it. And, maybe at the same time work with my parish youth on getting more active.
First of all I would love to thank you for sharing all your beautiful creations. You are a very talented lady!
On my bucket list is something I would love to do for my wonderful husband of forty four years – I would love to be able to get over my fear of flying so one day I could go on a vacation with him to Hawaii. He has always wanted to go there and I’d love to make that happen for us.
Think I may have missed a day. Another item on my b list would be to tour South America.
I know how to snowboard but I have never skied. I would love to learn to ski.
Help a single Mom with childcare. I know how much I would have appreciated that help.
Day 4: Learn cake decorating!
dmc
Day 3 – Go back to Ireland to visit family and cemeteries
I’d like to write a novel, or at least a short story :)
My third thing on my bucket list would be to visit major US landmarks with my family. God bless!
#2…We’ll have to wait for this one…Take my daughter to NYC, probably when she turns 16 (6 years from now)
Day 4 – I want to go to Hawaii with my husband and drive the road to Hana. I went once with my parents when I was in high school and we ran out of time. I just thought Hawaii was the most beautiful place.
Make it back home after work through this blizzard!
My daughter and her family have moved in with me due to unemployment, etc. So, I will work on being more tolerant of family members, think before I speak, soften my tone towards them, show more love and try not to get so upset.
Good Morning!
On my list today-bring my 18 mo granddaughter to lunch. I love to experience life through her eyes, everything a new adventure, every object wondrous, to be touched, investigated, shaken and then on to the next! Children are the hope for the future! Also some comments:
Laura: I learned to swim @ 60, go for it!
Kathy: God is proud of you!
Molly: The Grand Canyon is God’s artwork at its best
Sandra: Take that cross country trip now! I did it with my husband before he died @ 35-wonderful memories!
Sarah: WTG girl, reading blogs @ 90-you rock!
Cynthia: We are only as old as we feel, Happy Birthday!
Kathie: Read a chapter a night in the Bible, it is so interesting you won’t want to stop!
Glenda: Losing a job can sometimes be a blessing in disguise. You shall be in my prayers, but don’t despair!
Maria: I would love to learn how to skate as well!
TJ: What an outstanding idea! This could be a job opportunity!
Becca, your card today is beyond words~~
One of the things on my list would be to overcome my fear of heights.
I have a simple one for day # 3 – Travel to Hawaii and spend some time.
Day 4, Bucket List item #4 ~ visit Poland and see where all my ancestors came from.
#4 on my Bucket list.
I would love to go to Australia & see an Opel mine.
Hi Becca
I want to reconnect with my grandson who was adopted at birth
?2
I want that my mum was happy.
Thanks…
The next entry on my bucket list is to pay off my daughters college loans for her. This is a great exercise in evaluating what’s really is important to us and what’s not, isn’t it?
Thanks again!
Teri
Today is another day of inspiration from your Blog, thank you. Every morning I enjoy searching out your blog whether you have a new blog that day or just going back on some of your older ones, there is always some inspiration to be found!
My third thing on my bucket list is very simple but oh so simple to do in theory..and that is to remember to “WEAR A SMILE” all day every day and be patient with everyone around me.
Thanks again for those wonderful ideas, and words on your blogs.
Well, another thing on my bucket list is to enjoy 2 weeks vacation some place far from home. Never have taken more than a weeks’ vacation and usually that’s visiting family and friends who don’t live near us instead of just off somewhere to enjoy the time – I hope to do that while I’m still able!
Another thing on my bucket list would be to teach others again. I used to “teach” as a 4-H leader to kids, but i think I should share with adults, too. Love your blog!
I would love to have a ‘real’ craft room. Right now I have a guest room/craft room.
Thanks for my fourth entry.
I don’t have an actual bucket list, so I will just go with my internal list of things I would like to do… (basically the same idea, I guess). One of my things I’ve always wanted to do is build a home, which we will get to do this year, so that’s one I will get to check off. ;)
I also want to say that I love your art!
Becca! What a wonderful way to celebrate your two years of blogging! It has been so inspiring reading everyone’s bucket lists. Thank you for posting this on your blog!
Day 4 – To go on a wine tour in Tuscany!
Becca, I love your card. Day 3…I would love to see the Edinburgh Tattoo in Scotland. I grew up in Nova Scotia (New Scotland) and have seen the Tattoo there, but have always wanted to see the one in Edinburgh.
Iwant to scrapbook or put all my pictures in a photo album.
#4 Go on a Cruise to the Mexican Riviera – Cabo San Lucas – where my husband and I Honeymooned about 15 years ago!
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
Good morning Becca. #2 on BL would be to take a vacation with my adult daughter. Haven’t been able to do that for 15 years or more.
I would like to win at least one blog candy give away! That is on the top of my list.
#4 on my list is to make scrapbooks for my kids. My love is making cards, and I have never done any scrapbooking. My boys are in their 20’s so I’d better get to it!
Still working on bucket list. But today I am wanting to practice patients. I know that will mean someone will stand on my last nerve. God will give me grace to patiently & calmly deal with whatever it is.<
