It's flavored with passionfruit
an appropriate ingredient, don't you think?

My daughter entered one of her drawings in the local paper for a Christmas card contest they were having. Hers was published and was in yesterday's newspaper! :D

Well, considering the drawings you've posted, I'm not surprised hers was picked - she's got real talent!

Do you have an original, Bether? The Times Union's print quality is terrible.

I don't have the original and I can never remember how to work my darn scanner. I will eventually. It definitely isn't her best stuff. I think she did it just to appease me, but was it still good enough to get in. I was putting newspapers together at work when I saw it in there. It was pretty cool. Not sure where her talent comes from. I can't even draw stick men very well. :lol:

My twins are like that. It's just kind of miraculous. In kindergarten, I entered them in a contest to draw a Birthday card for "Brownie the Burger" (who reminds you to cook your burgers until they are brown in the middle). LOL. Public health campaign. I told my babies, who really were babies at the time, "Win us these tickets!" (to an amusement park) and they did! :D :lol:

Here's Bether's daughter's work. Came out better than I expected, though the moire pattern from the newsprint is in there. I kept her identifying info off, Bether.

Indeed! It's strikingly groomed and finished up!
Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four

And here is the beginning of the whole story.

But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.

Bether, Please tell your daughter how much we enjoyed her drawing and how talented she is. That is so lovely.

Also it seems she has a style all her own. It doesn't look like things I've seen before. Remarkable.
