Wow, what a fabulous site both Stef and Barbara presented us challengers with today! Thanks to both.
Our task today was to select inspiration from a darling one-woman shop of wonderfully creative childrens' toys and accessories. I opted for the Vilac Push Cars seen here:
My cars, actually school buses, used to run fairly well on the 'home's' road trip until our very own Fruitcake toppled the bus when 1 of the russian satellite spys was maneuvering her glasses to take sensitive photos of the on board passengers for the Kremlin. They like to see how the US treats its elderly. Luckily, all have been accounted for: The only mishap was our sweet Peggy-Sue was ousted from her position as Executive Director and is now, so I've been told, pounding the pavement #when she's not hitting the bottle# in search of another position. UPDATE: I do believe she's on to something ~ cast director at the local HS for yearly plays. You go, girl. I knew something would turn up sooner rather later.
Thanks to Peggy-Sue for the SU rubons!

Ha! I have had to push a couple of busses in my lifetime - a church bus name Abraham that broke down every time we took the kids out. Funny I can remember that far back. I love your card. It brought back memories.

This card is so darn cute!

I love the way the rub-on heart picks up on that gorgeous paper with the tiny little white hearts. Recognise the bus from one of Mutnik's recent cards but -ummmm -aren't they very small school buses? A case of good things coming in small packages...

Oh no, the return of the "bus" episode!!! How many times do I have to tell the "real story" about who toppled the bus over???? The answer: Mrs. Ryan on one of her drunken binges whilst she took her weekend furlough from the Betty Ford Clinic. Where's the angel, that being Fruitcake of course? Seems, Queen Anne of Nothing has a hallucinatory imagination!!! And, where is Peggy-Sue now days???? I haven't heard from her as of late. Did the Russians capture her and imprison her for espionage? And, what did the Russians think of the USA's care of the elderly??? Wait a minute, I don't want an answer to that one cause I already know. It's ain't so great!!! Go ahead on with your story Ms. Anne. Some will believe, others will know the truth. You're lucky I'm tired from hosting family this holiday or I'd come up with a much better story!! LOL!! TFS!!
