I’m still working on getting all the tutorials and free printables from the Little Golden Books themed shower together to share with you all…in between nursing a two month old around the clock and running after a crazy toddler, of course. Here are some crafty images to hold you all over until then!
Edit: I’ve finally uploaded all the projects! Invitations, Pennant Flags, Table Game, Pinwheel Favors, Pocket Book Worms Favors, & Mini Apple Pies.
And one more of the super cute mother-to-be!

My first thought is wherever did you get so many pages to make all those pinwheels, flag banners and goodie bags? Wow, you must have purchased every single Golden Book in a three-state radius 😛 Second thought – beautiful as usual!

Hah, it may seem like a lot but I really only used maybe 7 or 8 very loved books from Savers. Thanks!
Patricia Valdez-Harrison says
Once again V never ceases to amaze me. It was wonderful!
Dawn says

Kala says
What is the signature book made of on the favor table?
bumblev says
It’s a fabric book of The Pokey Little Puppy.
Linda Guidotti says
Can you please let me know where you got the fabric book of The Pokey Little Puppy? Or maybe a source for the fabric. Thank you.

So cute!!! Where did you get the fabric for the table runners? Also, the “please sign in” and “Please take a favor before you leave” signs… how did you make those?
bumblev says
I made those signs on the computer and then just stuck them to extra invite background cards I had.

Last year I pinned and pored over your tutorials because I threw my son a Little Golden Books party. I saw your pinwheel tutorial on Craftgawker and realized “I *know* her!!” Funny what a difference a few months makes!!
Vanessa Brady says
Hah, Morena, that’s awesome! Funny how big the internet is and yet can be so little sometimes.
Erika says
Hi…Just wondering what you had inside the favors? It said something about bookworms…were there gummy worms or something? And did you stitch the pages together?
Vanessa Brady says
Hi Erika, you can see the all the fun details here: https://www.triedandtrueblog.com/?p=884

Hey there-love your post here. I am throwing a LGB baby shower for my sister in law and was wondering where you found the image of the little bunny that looks like he’s falling next to a book I cannot find it to save my life online. thanks!!!
Vanessa Brady says
I believe I photoshoped it out of one of the larger images.
Michelle says

Hi Vanessa! I have mentioned you and your blog post as it inspired me to plan and organise a Little Golden Book themed first birthday for my son. We celebrated his first birthday last weekend and my post is LIVE on my blog.
