Still have 7 kids at home, so retirement is a long way off….. I see myself helping kids/grandkids and of course papercrafting with all of them with an actual studio where you can have everything available and leave it til you come back. Maybe a service mission somewhere with my husband. Travel would be fun of course!

My hubby and I are in the process of retiring. We would love to travel to new and exciting places and to share time with our loved ones. This "retirement" will also include more crafting time for me. We think of it more as a change in the focus of our time and activities during this next phase. Congrats on such a prolific design career. Looking forward to TE's future. Cheers!

I love the thought of travelling when I retire, but just as a grey nomad with my husband, daughter and her companion dog all around Australia. Of course it would have to be in a pretty big van as I would expect to be able to fit a good supply of craft goodies in too. Along with a good supply of books.

I retired several years back and went back to work part-time because I found I actually get more crafting done when I am working part-time than when I stay home. Probably because I gain so much inspiration from people I talk with throughout work. Especially with all the elder care-giving for family members during the last 5 years. I back job hunting so I can do my pictorial genealogy on MOm's side. Got the papers and supplies, just need to get the ball rolling.

You've got that right about wanting to craft all day when I retire! I actually am semi-retired now and I do try to craft almost every day!! In between crafting though, I love to spend time with my two little grand-daughters (who also love to craft…so it's a win/win) and read. As much as I'm chagrined to admit it though, I've recently begun doing crossword puzzles!! I always made fun of "old people" who did crossword puzzles but they are relaxing and fun…and they make me think. Always a good thing to keep the brain active!

I would love to spend several hours a day creating beautiful cards for every occasion possible…. not just grab an hour here and there, plus the first few weeks/months of my 'retirement' would have to be getting organized in my studio…. so many papers, dies, punches and stamps that I need to put in order… that would take up the first year!! LOL
Hopefully I could also spend some time with my hubby too, travel a bit, and attend some conventions I've been wanting to enjoy.

I have been retired 16 years & loving every day of it. I taught at several major retail craft stores for the first 5 years & then moved to a new state where I rescued & gave a home to 14 dogs & kitties. I continue to design my cards & occasionally teach, and enjoy playing with new toys like the dies, embossing folders & everything. Card making and my "furry babies", Make My Day!

I hope to keep stamping for many more years, or at least till I use up all my cardstock! lol
