"I suppose I can't deny that," she said with a bit of a smile, thinking about the money and how it was basically like getting a tip for doing something she loved. Admission for viewing was free, but the tips were appreciated. The money that she got from the people that crowded around her always went to good use. She made sure that she used it for something important, something that she liked to think those people would like. Often, it went towards buying more chalk...sometimes towards other specialty items, depending on what she needed.
"Happiness is just kind of what you make it, I think. If you decide to be happy and keep an optimistic attitude, you get a lot further than moping around will ever get you. My life is what I make it day-to-day though. I don't actually have a plan, and that's what makes me happy...sorry, it's kind of my soapbox," she gave a bit of an apologetic smile for ranting momentarily. Living her life the way she wanted to live it was something that Stephanie took very seriously.
She nodded a bit when Ellie mentioned Dean Thomas. She thought she recalled him if only because she'd known he was interested in art too. Keeping in touch wasn't her strong suit, but she would perhaps recognize him if she saw him, "He'll do a great job on them, I'm sure. The kids would probably like something like that." She always loved to look at the expressions on the faces of children when they looked at her art. Was there anything quite like the joy of a child? She didn't think so.
