Melissa, I have a brother-in-law who is train ga-ga. Every time we go out to visit, he takes to some event that has trains involved. These borders will be great for pages about those times! Thank you. :-)
Love them all but I must say welcome aboard is my fav. I’ll definitely be adding that to my train pages. Thanks for another great creative idea.
