Hi everyone! Today I have a really great printable for you to enjoy and it’s totally FREE! Can I get a woot-woot for that?! — WOOT-WOOT!
So, the story behind this printable is that every single night my daughter requests a song for me to sing with her and for the last 2 months or so, it has been “You Are My Sunshine.” I am waiting for the day she realizes I’m tone-deaf and wants a book read to her instead, but for the time being she still likes my singing voice.
I decided to create a really great subway-style printable that I could frame in her room, as well as use as a scrapbook page about bedtime and the special time we spend together singing her song.
I had the 12×12 page printed at Costco ($2.99) and inserted it in the frame I already had and now she has this great artwork in her room that she loves to point out to all of our house guests.
The Sunshine Printable is available as an 8×10 or as a 12×12, so the possibilities are endless! Have fun with it and if you decide to download it and use it somewhere, I would love if you would share a photo of how you used it on the Designer Blogs Facebook page.

Love this printable! I recently purchased something very similar to this for my daughter’s room, but yours is just so much more cheery, so I will definitely have this printed out at my local Costco as well. Thank you!
Yay! I’m so happy you like it! There are way more printables to come, so make sure to stop by often!
I love this!!!! My daughter’s nursery colors are yellow, white, and gray so I will definitely print this and hang it above her crib. It’s sooo pretty. Thanks!
You’re so welcome! I’m glad you like it!
Very cute! I love the story you shared about your singing with your daughter.
That’s so sweet! Thank you so much!
thank you Courtney for this gorgeous print, it is my daughter’s favourite song too
You’re welcome! I’m glad you like it!
Love it!! So cute and cheery!
So cute! I sing it to my daughters, too. I’m thinking of doing my 2nd daughter’s big girl room in yellow and gray “one day” and would love to include this adorable print.
Also, way to go for singing to your daughter! I teach Kindermusik, and believe introducing your children to music from the beginning is so valuable to their development. And it doesn’t matter what you sound like – your child just knows you love them, and that’s what is truly important.
Julie — I was just going to comment the same thing! I teach Musikgarten. It is absolutely true that your children won’t remember what your voice sounded like, just that you sang to them. So keep on! Love the printable — my son and I sing this together at bedtime.
I will keep on! LOL!
Thanks for coming by and I’m glad you like the printable!
Does anyone know if you have to be a Costco member to use their printing services?
You do have to have a Costco membership to use the print service, but I’m sure a place like Kinko’s would have the option to print 12×12′s.
I sang that song to my daughter one night and now she requests it every night. Thank you so much for masking this printable and giving it away to everyone! Your creativity and work is greatly appreciated!
I’m so happy you love it! Thanks for your super sweet comment!
My neice was born at 26 weeks. She was 1Lb 11oz and spent 5 months in the Nic unit. Her Grandmother (my sister) sang this to her everyday while she was in the hospital. This song is so special to the both of them. Maelyn is 7 now and is such a cherished member of our family. She was the Regional ambassador for the March of Dimes this year. Thank you this will be a special gift.
Wow! What a remarkable story! I’m glad this printable found a place in your heart.
I would sing this to my daughter everyday , when she was a little girl.it had became our song.
She is now 26, & lives out of the country.I can’t wait to mail this to her for her birthday.
Hopefully Kinkos will print this.I don’t have a Costco membership.
Thxs so much =)
Yay! I’m so happy you’re going to use it! Let me know about the Kinko’s thing. I’d love to know for sure whether they print 12×12 or not.
I love it! Every night before bed the kids and I pray, then I sing this song to them putting their name in instead of “dear”. My sweet little girl always sings it back to me! I was looking for something like this to print, frame, and hang on each of their walls. Thank you sooo much!
Aw, I love that! Thanks for sharing and for stopping by!
I sang this to all my grand babies. What sweet memories I have of each one. Thank you. Eileen nerf
You’re very welcome! I’m happy you like it!
Thank you for the printable! Love it!
Thank you for the printable! I have sung, spoke and quoted this saying to my daughter since she was born. ( 10 years) We have even brought the body wash, lotion and spray from Body Works – Forever Sunshine.
Thank You !
Thank you for the “Sunshine” printable. It is my daughter-in-law’s favorite song in regards to her kids!
Thank you so much. This is our song so will frame this for my daughter. This brings back so many memories of nights rocking her to sleep.
Courtney, I’m in love with this for my son’s room, but I can’t figure out how do download it to print it. What am I missing?
I’m in the same boat, Courtney. I’m not sure how to download this! Please help – I love this!
At the bottom of the post is link to the Designer Blogs site where you can download the actual image. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Courtney, thank you for this fun and charming printable. This is a favorite song I sing to my grandchildren!! Sunshine is also a nickname I received many years ago in high school. What a joy to see this has meaning to many others as well. Thank you again for the free printable. Blessings, Johanna
This is the first song I ever sang to my daughter Jane, when the nurse first brought her to me in the hospital. Now that she is gone cross country to grad school I will be framing this to send to her for her room.
Hi Courtney,
I absolutely love this printable. It brings back very fond memories of when my girls were little. I sang this song with my youngest daughter and now I sing it with my granddaughters.
You are a very talented woman.Thanks so much!
I have never done a printable before. This may be a silly question but why would i have it printed at costco or kinkos? Why not our own home printer?
I love this! But for some reason, I cannot download it?! I don’t know why but I WANT IT!!!
This is the song I sang most to my daughter (now 30) and it still holds a special place between us. Now we sing it to her daughter (now 1) and it will always be special and a favorite. thank you for making this, I’m going to frame one for my grandaughter’s room and one for my house. Nancy
Thank you so very much for this printable. I had it printed up professionally on a 12×12 canvas for my bedroom and it matches my yellow & grey colour scheme perfectly X
Anyone know… is it possible to have this enlarged… say to a 14×16 or 18×20?
My husbands 87 year old grandmother just passed this month. She sang this song to her children every night. Therefore, myself and her great grandchildren sang it to her over the past 3 yrs as she lie in her rest home bed. We all sang it to her for the last time at her funeral. I’m amazed at how much decor now has this saying. Thank you.
Going to Costco tomorrow to pick up a 12×12 print! Thank you for this! It will go great in my soon to be baby #2′s nursery!!
love this! Can’t get it to download though.
Never mind. Figured it out. LOL!!
I love this! I sing this song to my son everynight! I even get yelled at if I sing it to my baby daughter. He tells me it is his song. I am going to have to print this off for him.
I think we have decided to use this as our theme for our daughter’s first birthday! I hope it would be okay to use your theme in our invitations…
I love this printable! I included it in a printable roundup on my blog: http://iamonly1woman.blogspot.com/2013/03/101-free-printables-roundup.html
My Dad sang this song to me when I was a kid. I remember it fondly and always think of him. I’ve been looking for a printable to put on my (someday) child’s wall and this is perfect. The best part is the little heart. Thank you!
