Is your mother fun?
Is your mother both of these?
Could she, would she, be all three?
Might as well bake up a batch of Conversation Cupcakes, and let her know how you feel about her!
All you need to make these fun Conversation Cupcakes
is a cake mix, a batch of Butter-cream Frosting,
and a few mini chocolate chips.
Make the signs out of some toothpicks, cute paper and a glue gun!
Then round up a whole slew of folks ready to write the things they love most about dear old Mom (or grandma).
I bet you’ll get a hug and a kiss out of it….
