Has it really been three weeks since I posted??? Well...has been a busy three weeks. First my friend Patti and I had our first in person stamping class since Covid. We had a great turnout so great that we divided the class into two days. We had 18 students and 9 pick up kits. (I will show the class cards at a post this week.)
Second - hubby had surgery - overnight stay in the hospital - and has had a really rough two weeks of recovery. I think we have called the doctor almost everyday with a new issue to deal with. Currently dealing with an infection so is on a coarse of 2 weeks of antibiotics. I'm hoping he is on the right track now and each day will be a bit better. He is usually a fast healer and doesn't complain of pain but this surgery got him down.
So today is National Ice Cream Day - July 17. I made up my ice cream base yesterday and will make the ice cream today. We have a countertop ice cream maker that makes one quart - perfect size. Our favorite homemade is coffee toffee.
Here is my card to celebrate - I made 3 of these and will send to my chemo buddies this week along with a DQ gift card.
I used a retired SU set - along with a scrap of DP that goes with the stamp set. I wish I could still get the paper but... I stamped the envelope as well with ice cream cones. I think my chemo buddies will enjoy their creamy treat.

Such an adorable ice cream card Shirley! I did not make homemade ice cream but hubby did make us banana splits for National ice cream day.
I'm so sorry to hear about your hubby having some troubles and hope that he can recover more smoothly without any more bumps. Your ice cream card is perfect for the National Ice Cream Day and what a treat to include the DQ gift card too! Glad to hear that you girls are having a great turn-out for your classes as I know you probably make them so fun!! :) HUGS

These look yummy! Perfect for NICD! And since I'm a business consultant for DQ, I appreciate you giving the GC too! LOL. Hope Hubby is doing better.
