Especially when it’s kids with smiles

Oh my heart - those smiles! This completely answered my question. You paint them, hide them around Bastrop, and then get to see moments like this through the Facebook group when someone finds one. That is such a beautiful loop. And the little tag on the back telling finders where to post - you really thought through the whole experience. I bet every notification from that group feels like a little gift.

Oh this made my day. Two kids on Main Street in Bastrop each holding a little ladybug rock, beaming with pride - this is exactly what you meant about that being the best part. The fact that there's a whole Facebook group where people share when they find them just makes it even better. Your art goes out into the world and comes back as someone else's happy moment.
