I know it's been forever again since my last post and I want to thank those of you who left comments, sent messages, and emails to ask where I've been. I've been here - well, not right here at my blog, but I'm around on the web all the time. Mostly over on Instagram, but on Flickr too, running the Simon Says Stamp group over there. I love doing that but it takes up a lot of my time.
I have also been visiting many of your blogs, looking at everyone's amazing creativity but I just don't always have time to comment and I feel so bad about that! It's something that I really love doing and I miss it!
I've been very busy with work, family life and gearing up toward retirement too. There is so much to think about and do when planning to retire. It's scary and exciting all at the same time. My hubby and I will both be officially retired at the end of this year, and I know I'll have more time then, to get back to commenting more on all of your wonderful blogs. Can't WAIT!
Anyway, I've also been creating. . . . .A LOT! No, really I have! Here's the proof:
Sorry no links to products but if you have any questions, just let me know!
Thanks for stopping by! I always appreciate your visits and comments! ♥

Hi Barb. Good to see that you are still so busy. LOVE all the beautiful floral cards you have been doing. I see you on the Flickr SSS -
I'm seeing all of your gorgeousness over on Instagram and loving it! So exciting to be planning for the next stage of your life!
WOW!! You have been busy!! I am loving all these beautiful flowers that you are coloring. Stunning work!!
WOW - I am blown away. I especially love the potted plants (the first one) - absolutely GORGEOUS! I have to get on Instagram to see more.
Glad to see you had some crafty time and posted these cards. They are lovely. You're gonna love retirement. It took me a few months of allowing my brain to think retirement..there were many times when I thought I must prepare my work wardrobe for the week. Then it dawns on me...no I don't. Great feeling. And your alarm clock....TOSS IT!!!
All amazing cards!! Love the first potted plant one with the watercoloring.
WOW Barb, you sure have been busy. Gorgeous, gorgeous cards! Love them all! You will like being "retired." The word is a curious one for busy on the go people:) Retiring from alarms and schedules and finding time for what makes you happy!
Wow! So many gorgeous cards. You've been very busy & I love them.
Fabulous gorgeous cards, thanks for taking the time to share them.
Your cards are seriously gorgeous, Barb! So happy to see this beautiful post and know you are preparing for the next chapter of your life. Best Wishes to you and your husband.
PS: I have been retired for 3+ years now and busier than ever enjoying life. :-)

Amazing, Barb--you've made wonderful cards! I especially love the one with the Art Impression stamps--a company right up the road from me! So exciting to be retiring--I'm right behind you!
Hi Barb, Lots of cards here! Great source of inspiration. Th flowers of Clearly Besotted are always lovely, love the blue tulips. But what I love most are the pots with flowers from Art Impression. Looks a bit like the left side of my little garden ar home, were I have a lot of pots. At the moment we are on Kefalonia, and I enjoy the oleanders and bougainville so much! Greetings from Leni
Hi, Barb! WOW, you've created so many beautiful cards.

I know you must be counting the days. ;)
Have a wonderful week. ♥
