My Awesome Good News!

Good mornin' Peeps!!!

Did you have a nice Easter? I sure did, I had my kids & sister over for Easter dinner & we had a fabulous time! Grab yourself a cup of joe, sit back & relax, it's going to be a long post today. I have so much to tell you!

First, I have such AWESOME & exciting news...for me at least! If you follow me on Facebook then you already know some of my news but I have more to share with all of you today. Well, the exciting news is that I'm finally going to be a grandma!!! We found out a few weeks ago that it's going to be.......wait for it.....A GIRL!!! Yippee, we are ALL so excited...here's a pic of my little granddaughter at 19 weeks:



I think she's going to be a gymnast, if this ultra sound is any indication, hehehe!!!
The first ultra sound pic Sarah sent me I just cried looking at it...they were tears of joy though & I couldn't stop looking at the picture for weeks & yep, I cried every time. Thanks so much for letting me share my exciting news with you today.

Now onto my creative part of this post & the reason you stopped by today.

A card I made for Sarah. This digital stamp is from Saturated Canary. Isn't this the cutest image for a mom to be? I love it & knew I had to get it for Sarah & she loved the pickle on top of all that ice cream! Love you to pieces Sarah & your going to be a great & loving mommy! She is going to be one lucky little girl to be loved by such awesome parents, grandparents & so many family members!!!


Sentiment is a digital freebie from Mary Anderson. Thank you so much Mary, I knew I wanted to use your sentiment for Sarah's card the minute I saw it on your blog.



Here's the card I made for Marc. This Digital image is from Mo Manning, I fell in love with this image the minute I saw it & knew I wanted it for Marc, he's going to be an awesome daddy! Love you Marc!



Altered box I fixed up for a little baby gift I got Marc & Sarah, just a couple of bibs that say Grandma loves you & spoiled by grandma & a onesie I found that said Grandpa's little girl!

Jessica & Steve brought me a bunch of tulips, my favorite flower, & some awesome desserts, their so thoughtful & sweet! I love you guys soooooo much!!! Marc & Sarah brought some yummy desserts too, so we had a sugar high going on over at the Santos house but they were soooooo good!



Sorry this post was so long. Have a great Monday everyone & thanks so much for stopping by & sharing a little part of your day with me, I so appreciate your company!

I can not believe that I am so late in reading my email. I saw the title of your blog post and had to rush over to find out what your good news was. Congratulations to you Rita! Being a first time grandmother is HUGE!!! All 3 of my grandchildren are girls.......love them to pieces. When will she be born? Does she have a name yet? Your family must be very excited. I loved the card that you made for your daughter, you certainly did a beautiful job with your coloring. Love the box that you made too. My goodness you were busy making things all week. Thank you for using the WA I made on a card. That was so sweet of you.
I will have to visit you more often so I can keep up with your becoming a grandmother. :(
