Just for you, Mason



Dear Mason,

I know a lot of what you get are hand me downs from your brothers so this week I set off to make something just for you. I know how much you love to play with cars and trucks and often use my legs at church and at Gavin's swimming lessons to drive up and down so when I saw this cute little project, I just knew I had to make you one. Now you can take your own little town with you anywhere. It has all the places you love to visit- McDonald's, Target, Luke's house and Grandma's, and some other fun places. I just want you to know that this is for you and you alone, you don't even have to share it with your pesky older brothers that are always taking your toys from you.

I found this project on my friend Kristy's website. I made the road and buildings out of felt and the base is some fake leather I had left over from another project. I had to sew mine, because I knew a glue gun would not hold up to the hard play this would get. We took it to church on Sunday and he played with it the entire time!
