IT"S A BABY SHOWER: WELCOME

A baby is God's opinion
 that the world should go
on. 

~Carl Sandburg

First I would like to say
welcome and thank you
for coming.
Today is the
day of Amanda's
shower. 
 The coffee and
tea are on the sideboard and
the dining room table is
set with an array of goodies
so please help yourself.

Once you have a plate 
I thought we could all
sit in the living room.
Amanda, you have the rocking
chair Okay? I think it
will be most comfortable
for you and also easy
to get up if you need
to. I have you a corsage
for your wrist if you
would like to put it on.
After all, you are the
guest of honor.

I really am not one
for baby shower games so
I hope you won't mind
if we get right to the
gifts and I'll be happy
to start things off.
First, as many of you know
I was to have another
grandchild, but that wasn't
meant to be. I did however
make a little knit vest,
which was inspired by Amanda,
and I would like to give
it to the Caboose. I still need
to sew the buttons on, but
that won't take but a minute.

Next, I have a few burp rags
that I decorated with a little
retro material. Just so you
know, in my head I am a
seamstress, in reality, not
so much, but I did make
these with love if that counts.

There is also a little denim
bag since I don't thing you can
ever have too many bags.

I loved knitting Ginny's hat
so much that of course I
needed to do one for this
little one too.

With Christmas right around
the corner I do have a little
something else, but I would
like to keep that a surprise
Amanda okay? You will just
have to wait until the box
arrives! :)
Amanda, I wish you an
easy labor, a quick recovery,
and lots of love as you
welcome this new life into
your family.
Now, who would like to
go next? I didn't figure
out how to work the linky
thing so I thought everyone
could just leave a link
to their post in the comment
section. If you need Amanda's
address you can contact
either me or Amanda.
Thank you all for coming
and I hope you have
enjoyed yourselves.
