Fireman for Mo

Good evening everyone. Hope you all had a great weekend!! The children have been recovering from some kind of bug! Ethan in particular was quite poorly, very feverish and got sent home from school on Friday, it came on all of a sudden! Saturday morning I was expecting a retired fireman from the fire brigade to come round and fit smoke alarms. I had signed up for it in the summer. What a surprise when the whole watch from the local station turned up at 9am - complete with fire engine!! E was sooo excited (so was mummy!!LOL), he suddenly felt well enough to want to play outside - what a surprise!! The firemen were brilliant, showed him around the fire engine and let him sit inside. One even lent him his helmet. E was well chuffed and I quickly reached for the camera!!

Inspired by the scale of visit by the Brigade, I have done this card for Ethan's best friend who is seven today and had a fabulous party ten pin bowling!! I'm sure he'll love it and it's my first attempt at an easel card which seems to be all the rage at present!!

I'm also gonna submit this as my first card entry for
