No, Thank YOU :-)

There's nothing like a gaggle of effusive 10 year olds to make you feel like a rock star. :-)

I got thank you letters from the entire class - I'm posting a few delightful ones for your perusal:

(aren't they great?)
A couple more quotes that I very much enjoyed:


"This was a great experience for me because I love drawing and I've always wanted to meet an artist. I really love your drawing too. And I learned a lot from you. Some day I hope to be just like you."


"I have a laminating machine and tomorrow I am going to laminate the autograph you gave me."


"You are a very excellent illustrator. When I first saw your work I was flabbergasted by the detail and magnificent choice and color. I learned a lot about many things and my vocabulary has broadened."


I have have somehow helped broaden vocabulary. My work here is obviously done.

What a fantastic tribute to you Tara. Can't think of anything more rewarding for an artist.

That is sooo lovely. The greatest reward i used to get from working with children was their enthusiasm & honesty. And to give such inspiration to them - wow!
