Day 15 0f Year 16: Two days past when I meant to post but thinking all the time. It's true - a teacher never rests...even on weekends in the summertime. Started a new blog - www.kuntzapstudioart.blogspot.com - because I am completely inspired to have my next group of AP students be as successful as I hope THEY want to be...and obviously me.

Scholastic in New York happened this month. Kids walking across the stage at Carnegie Hall. I was there not too long ago. I want to be there again.

Selfish? Maybe. I want it anyway.

I've been thinking of starting another side business of creating children's portraits. Hmmm. Can she do it?
