My daughter is expecting a baby this spring, my first grandchild! I’m so excited I can hardly stand it! Every time I think about holding that little bundle on my shoulder and feeling that soft, heavy weight as he falls asleep, I just get all choked up, remembering the days of holding my own babies. There’s not much in this world that makes me happier than rocking a contented, sleeping baby.
So, I’m hosting a baby shower for Sara here at our house in a few weeks. I looked online for invitations and got some good ideas, but didn’t see anything that seemed just right, so I made my own. I loved a design that I saw at tinyprints, but it wasn’t exactly what I wanted, so I painted my own version of it.
I ordered 5″ x 7″ ivory card stock and aqua envelopes from Paper Source, then printed the invitations at home. I also included another sheet with directions and a little bunny at the bottom saying “It’s a BOY!”
Now, to plan the rest of the shower – the decorations, food, games, and favors. I have lots of ideas. It will be fun and happy and pretty, with lots of and giggles and laughter – just like the baby that’s coming in April!

Congratulations! The invitation is just lovely! I'm jealous. My son just started grad school and has made it clear that the next 2 years are just going to be school – dating is okay, getting serious, not so much-no time! I figure that will last until the right girl comes along – and then he'll find time!
Leslie, as always you add such a personal touch to all you do! You are going to be the BEST Grandma!
I'm having so much fun helping out with the planning and decorating. I'm working on a really cute baby quilt right now. It has appliqued puppies cut out of polar fleece, so they're soft and cuddly. It's going to be so sweet!
What a wonderful Grandma you will be to that little one on the way.
Lovely invite and best blessings to your daughter.
