I've been out for a few weeks. I went to school for graduation practice and found this on my desk from a student. The card read "I hope you truly do find joy in the journey as you hope to grow your family." The whole community knew my family has been trying to adopt for years now. Little did this student know the day he delivered the necklace I was on my way to the hospital to meet my son! And ironically my older son and I made dandelion wishes that morning that we'd have a healthy baby! I love my thoughtful students! #dandelionwishes #thoughtfulstudents #answeredprayers #adoption

A senior asked me awhile back if I could help her with this. Knowing that I may not be finishing out the year (she didn't know this), I told her she will have to do most of it on her own, but I'd try to help.

This piece was at the art show. A few viewers loved it and wanted to pay my student to draw another. It's nice to have students who are commissioned for their works! They deserve it! #artforsale #artshow

This little number was made by our exchange student "Denmark". I wish I had photo of her first artwork, she has come so far! Besides verbal direction, I didn't help her at all! #proudartteacher #Denmark
