I haven't seen one in years, but when I was a kid the ice cream truck would cruise the neighborhoods in the summer. We'd be playing in the yard and our ears would prick up when we heard the first tinkling of the music box recording of "Turkey in the Straw" coming from the big speakers on the top of the truck. Every kid in the neighborhood would run home to get money to buy ice cream! We always wanted ice cream sandwiches, the double popsicle with two sticks, or the ultimate BOMB pop! Mom would always tell us to get her a Fudgsicle...ewww...only grown ups ate stuff like that! We thought they were a terrible waste of ice cream money until my sister Steph managed to get a lick/bite of one. Those things were pretty GOOD! Mom would sometimes buy a box at the grocery store, probably thinking they were a private snack. They'd be gone in a few days and of course we had no idea what happened to them! They were the COOLEST!
The new theme challenge at Cupcake Inspirations is....Mother's Day!
This week's sponsor is Poppy Stamps and they are generously providing a $20 gift certificate to our randomly chosen winner!
In honor of my fudgsicle loving mom...I made this card 'cause she is the COOLEST!
I used a Club Scrap® collage stamp and die cut from waaaaaaay back to create the background! Comment below with the name of the kits and the year they were released and I'll choose a random winner for a little Mother's Day surprise!

I think your mom and I would get along insofar as what we want to eat for treats! Love your card, I really like the background and the fun popsicle treats! I bought some of those action wobbles and keep forgetting to use them! Hope you are having a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteThanks Heidi! She's drawn us all to the dark side...chocolate that is!😂 I didn't realize how big that bag of wobbles is, it is going to last me a looong time!
ReplyDeleteThere are moments in blogs like this you get a real glimpse into someone's life. I love these stories of your mom. It makes me think of my own mother's quirks. Makes me wonder what my kids will someday say about me. Oh, and it is a beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I enjoy writing my little fleeting memories down. My kids and nieces and nephews love to hear stories about all of us when we were growing up....and I love to tell them! My grandmother started her blog in 2013 when she was 87. Short and sweet posts, but they are so precious to us now. http://ridgesofleecounty.blogspot.com
