3 Year Celebration!
The month of August marks the 3 year anniversary of Chicken 
Nugget Lemon Tooty! It's hard to believe when we started the site Isaac was 7, Grace was 6, and Lily was 3. This post you're reading also happens to be post #250! Over 400 pictures have been uploaded into the previous 249 entries over the last 3 years...
I thought this was cause for celebration. Early in the month of August I had posted an open invitation here for folks to dive into the CNLT archives, pick a favorite drawing, and use it as a source of inspiration for their own image -- To create some Z-Kids "fan art," if you will. I thought perhaps I'd get three or four takers. We're humbled and amazed by the many wonderful responses.
So have a look below and celebrate with us! If you want to join in the festivities, I'll keep taking submissions through the end of August and update with additional pictures as they come in.
Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you to the wonderful new friends and artists who gave such a precious gift of their time and talent. It's an inspiration to Isaac, Grace, and Lily to see folks take an interest in what they make! And thanks also to the many people who have left such encouraging comments to them over the last three years.
It's fun imagining where another 3 years will take us! Let the celebration begin!

Thanks again to everyone who participated! This was so much fun for us all. It was great meeting so many new friends and exciting to see the art roll in. Looking forward to 3 more years!
