    Thankfully my children are all grown, and grandchildren are all pretty much grown too -- with 4 greats! I don't have parties to plan anymore : ( I loved watching you create all the train stuff. Everything was so very cute and Finn is getting so big! You are so clever with all your creations and Finn will remember all the fun you created for the rest of his life. I'm sure all your guests love the parties you throw and all the work you put into them. Thank you so much for sharing! Happy Belated Birthday to Finn.

    Great job!! I did theme parties and all holidays like this. It was way before Cricut, everything had to be done by hand 😵‍💫😫
    My girls are 30, 31, & 35 with kids of their own. They still talk about the parties and holidays. Also they carry on these traditions with my grandbabies too. Every single blister, late night and back ache was worth it. Hoping this tradition will carry on for generations. Finn will always remember these special moments!!
    Party turned out stellar 😊

I need it to fold up or something as space is an issue! I volunteer to do this so there are no funds for this yet I need a huge train car like the size of a door in the school that they feel like they are climbing into! Please let me know if you have any ideas! I love how you go thru the cricut stuff. I’m hating mine right now! Love the stuff it makes just having trouble! Thanks for all the fun!
