It's Sew GRAND (and announcement)

I can finally announce... "I'm going to be a GRANDMOTHER"!!!  I have known for a month and was sworn to secrecy.  Do you have any idea how hard it is to be told you are going to be a grandmother "for the very first time" and then be told you can't tell ANYONE for a month!!!!! It was killing me.

On my blog posts, I was going on the premise that I was finally doing a scrapbook for my youngest son.  It was a good reason for keeping the colors neutral.  I will do a scrapbook for my son, but this one is for the new 1st grandbaby.  I won't do anymore pages until we find out the sex so I can make at least 5 pages very pink or very blue...haha  In the meantime.....as for my dear son Mitchell, I will start working on his 1st year scrapbook now....he just turned 19 last week!

( There are 3 sets of GRANDparents and 3 great-GRAND parents so this is a page I dedicated for us and them.)  So....ain't it GRAND!!!

    I'm so excited for you, Cely! I was wondering how you were going to get 19 years of scrapbooking done with all the detail you've been putting into them! Congratulations!!

    Congratulations - how exciting! What a great idea to make a scrapbook page in a baby book to show off the grand and great-grandparents. DUH - I never thought of that.

    This is simply FANTASTIC news, Cely! Congrats to Bryan, Shannon and the whole family!
    Your layouts are fabulous, and it's great that you have a head start with them. Can't wait to see if the majority will be pink or blue! :)

    Congratulations! I thought they were for YOUR son! I sure hope you get LOTS of time with the new baby and you fall in love all over again. I'm so blessed my girls have grandparents (I didn't have ANY) and I know you will bring such joy to this little one's life!!

    As for your layout - gorgeous. I especially love the pins in the tomato! And you even included a seam ripper. How perfect.

    Congrats, Cely! I'm so happy for you!!! I'm also embarrassed to wish you a very belated Happy Birthday! My son was home for 2 weeks of spring break and I didn't even look at a calendar and then I forgot >.< I'm sure you were doing some dancing on the beach when you found out about the little one on the way ;- ) Shag on!
