Happy 2nd Birthday

 Welcome to my blog.  Today I'm posting this wee card for a special little boy who turned 2 on Saturday. 

His birthday was a Thomas The Tank Engine theme.  I was stoked about that as my boys loved Thomas and they had a massive train set that I was always adding bits and pieces to over the years and they still have this amazing collection now put away for grandchildren one day.  When I found out it was a Thomas party, I thought oh I'll buy a carriage and a lovely hard covered book.  Much to my disappointment Thomas in wood isn't being made anymore and now it's plastic, I was saddened about this, I was told that wooden Thomas ceased manufacture in 2017.  I haven't bought Thomas and friends for years as my sons are 22 and 20.

              

Today I'm entering this card in the following challenges.

Good morning and welcome to my blog.  Sorry, I'm a few days late posting my second card, and now I know there aren't enough hours in a day.  I had to make two extra cards this week one for a 2nd birthday party I had to go to on Saturday and 21st birthday party we went to last night.  My problem is I left everything to the last minute and started rushing.
