I not only loved this project, but the thoughtful messaging and inspiration.
So inspiriting.....Such a pretty bee theme.................................😻
What a wonderful teaching moment. You have a way with words. Perhaps you are a book writer or poet as well. Lovely bee piece for your page. ❤😊
Barbara, this video is just perfection! The glimpses of your inviting space, your poetic commentary, beautiful background music, and your lovely art pieces. This snack was delicious!
Thank you so much! ❤️☺️ It’s so gratifying to get this feedback when it takes hours and hours to get it just right ☺️❤️
Love the idea of taking something 'simple' to start with - like a single letter - so that one isn't overwhelmed. And yes, creating should be about the process - and not necessarily defined by the destination. 🧡💚🤎
What a brilliant idea and so helpful. I'm often so tired from the humdrum of daily life that when I sit down at my craft desk, my brain has no chance of thinking up a project idea. This will be so valuable for those moments, thank you!
I love it. I was shocked a bit when the backgrounds looked so inviting. Huge bee is great. Take care, be safe.
I love the large bee stamp! I also love your freedom and creativity you have with each project 😊❤❤❤
This video has a creative but relaxed feel. Just what was needed on a Monday ❤ Thanks again Barbara 😘
Barbara: beautifully done, including your narration. Carol from California
Liebe Barbara! Wie gut, dass es Dich gibt und Deine genialen Einfälle! Dankeschön! Ganz liebe Grüße ! Rita 💌
Hihi vielen Dank! 🤭❤️
You never disappoint ❤. Your videos are always a delight, Barbara!
What a great idea. I will remember this because I have had those creative blocks as I'm sure every crafter does at one time or another. Thanks for sharing Barbara. 🙂❤️
Love the bee! You did a great job. No one would know you had trouble being inspired! Thanks for the tips.
Stunning once again. Always inspiring watching your videos. You are a master of fussy cutting!!!
i absolutely love this - you are wonderful and inspiring - thank you Barbara xx
Love the idea of picking a letter and writing down some words-then creating a page. Your page turned out great! Love the clear embossing on the wings! Great detail!!!
Barbar, what a great idea! Sometimes I take a random stamp and color it. Once finished my creativity is flowing again. Yours is a brilliant idea. TFS!❤
Love your idea as well! ❤️😊
@@49dragonflies thanks!!
Absolutely beautiful!!!! Well done, Barbara!
Wow, you amaze me…. I love the way your brain works ❤….. thank you for taking us along with you 😘
A great way to spark your creativity. Thank you💕Karen 🇨🇦
Thank you so much, Barbara. To be inspired, I was😊👍
how perfect ! Thank you, many hours of appreciation and frustration will be avoided with these steps! I am so glad you shared this information.
Glad it was helpful! ❤️
Barbara I have really been enjoying your use of prose and language in your recent videos. I can tell you have taken time to prepare your words and they simply entrance us as we are guided through the artistic process. Thank you for sharing your creations and talent! ❤
Thank you so much! This did take me a while to get right! So gratifying when it gets noticed! ☺️❤️
Beautiful inspirational
I can't imagine you go too long without inspiration! I did enjoy this however!!!!!
This is a beautiful piece that was beautifully narrated with a gorgeous narrative. Love this video. 🤗🇨🇦🤗
thank you for this wonderful video. Love the bee, your comments, the music
so relaxing and inspiring 🐝💛
Great suggestions, and we all suffer from creative block now and again. Doesn’t matter how many art supplies we have. ❤❤
Oh, sweet Barbara...I loved everything about this video.💗Your tips for breaking those times we feel stuck, with no creative flow, the adorable creation you made by enjoying what you have at hand and the properties of your stamps, inks, etc, but mostly...your delightful narration.💖 Your delicate, sing-song voice is a calming gift, reminding me my craft should not be stressful...it should be joyful and fun. Thank you.💛💙💛
Thanks so much! ❤️☺️
Such a fabulous piece, thank you for sharing
This is a genius idea Barbara, thank you and your piece turned out beautiful!🥰
Love your narrative style in this video, made me feel sleepy like I was hearing a story.
I Love it, Barbara! ❤
Amazing!❤
Beautiful piece
👏👏👏 this was a pure joy. Thank you ❤❤❤
Enjoyed this idea. Turned out very pretty.🐼🐼 love you back. Thank you.🤗
So inspiring! Thank you.
Love this! ❤
I went without for so long, when I had money I thought if I got enough supplies together, I'd never be blocked again. Then I became overwhelmed by "too much choice" and frozen by fear of wasting, felt everything had to be perfect and worthy to sell. It's a vicious cycle that smothers creativity.
Videos like yours really help!
I know exactly how you feel! 🤗 I have all these supplies I want to use, then end up falling back on Gelli printing & creating even more background inspiration. Have to keep reminding myself “it’s only paper” (thank you Pam from The Paper Outpost) & “if you don’t like it, it’s just not finished yet” (Lindsey The Frugal Crafter).
I often feel exactly the same way. I felt far more creative when I had less "stuff". Then like you, when I had the money I bought all the "things my favorite creators were using", thinking I needed them. I too worry about my inexperience and "wasting" the products I don't really have the money to replace. So there they sit, collecting dust and drying up while I sit here with little clue where to start. It's such a shame.💔
I always find Barbara a great motivator and inspiration...a calming force telling me it's alright.💗💗💗
Yep, me too 🙈. Also I put stuff away and forget about it/what I was going to make with it until one of my big sort outs 🙊. Barbara is always a huge inspiration
Exactly so. The fear of 'wasting' lovely supplies. I need to practice making Art for Art's sake...instead of something perfect in the eyes of others.
Thank you for your inspiration!
Beautiful!
Oh this is such a lovely idea. Thank you so much Barbara. You are always one of my Go-To-Inspirations :)
Love this.

This is a very helpful video. We all go through times when we don't feel like creating because we can't think of what to create. Thank you, I'm definitely going to try this when I feel blocked.
I absolutely love this! I always learn something new when watching your videos. This one was so calming and brief but full. Thank you for sharing your creative process with us ❤

Hi Barbara, great video, thank you so much for sharing this with us. I can't believe it - I literally started making a bee themed journal this afternoon, and yesterday, I made a bee theme collage on a large canvas. Great minds think alike eh!!! I love what you did today, and it's definitely inspired me. I love all your work, you're a terrific artist. Take care, and have a wonderful week ahead. xx❤❤😊😊😊😊
Thanks so much! Love that we had the same theme going! 😃❤️
Thank you for this, I've been getting art block a lot lately xxx
Love it
How lovely! Always a treat to watch your creative process and get inspiration from your beautiful creations. Hugs 🤗❤️
Ooooohhh gosh. That’s really a good idea ! I will try to remember it next time I’m running out of ideas 😍😍
Excellente idée, démonstration parfaite et résultat magique, je suis conquise ! 🤩👏🙏
Lovely❤
Exquisite. ❤
B for Brilliant! I love this method. Thank you
😃❤️
Love your bee journal page. That bee is adorable. Thanks for the tip of the day. Great idea. 👍🏻👍🏻
Amazing video Barbara: from zero to beautiful piece of art❤ it’s so inspiring watching you to create 🙏🏼
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your generous donation! ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing..😉
As always your Sunday snacks never disappoint! I always look forward to them ❤ thank you once again for the inspiration - Have a Blessed week!
OMG, I just did the very think yesterday. Ended up leaving the craft room! Now, I can go back and maybe accomplish something.
You can do it! 😃❤️
Thank you, I'll come back to this time and again for your ways to get unstuck in a block. Happens too often to me...
What a great idea! Takes the scariness out of creating. I like that you said every work is a journey and not a destination. Good job, Barbara!
Thank you so much for this video. I needed it today. I do love your bee. Something I have not tried yet is embossing powder. I have a complete kit and a new heat gun. MMMM, a thought of new adventures is forming. Live in the moment,I'm told. 😀❤
Im sure you will love it on e you try! 😃❤️
I'm sure I will too. Thanks Barbara. My sister's name is Barbara too. lol@@49dragonflies
Yup, almost every day, so I have a lot of swatches bc that's what I do when I feel blocked. 😅 Thanks Barbara! This is a great idea. I'm going to try it tonight.
Swatches are great! Have fun with this! ❤️😊
I have had a bit of a creative block recently and found that just being with my journals and looking through them without any expectation to work in them helped, I also reorganized my workspace and ideas started to flow. The way you explain your process is inspiring, if you ever write a book on journaling I am buying it! x
Aaaw thank you! ❤️☺️
Wow, genius
Wow, that was an amazing recovery from creative doldrums! I just love every single aspect of this project! 💕🇨🇦
