Car Boards for Match Box & Hot Wheels

My mom use to paint boards for us to play with our Match Box cars and Hot Wheels on. I spent hours in the floor with my bucket of cars. She even painted one for a lot of our cousins, so we could put our boards together to make bigger towns to drive on. I have a lot of memories because she made her ideas come to life.

Today is her birthday. I'm sad she's no longer here. But instead of giving a gift to her, I recently took her idea and hope to give the same kinds of memories to my kids. Here's what I recently did for my little boy. It was a lot of fun to paint this.




I am thinking of doing more of these and selling them. Anybody want to buy one?
