My Grandma Rose sang when she was happy, and it wasn’t until years later that I realized most of the songs she sang were by Doris Day. Que Sera, Sera was one of her favorites.
I thought it would make a sweet print for Eleanor, though I did take a little liberty with the lyrics. Doris asks her mother, “Will I be pretty, will I be rich?”, and she asks her sweetheart the line about rainbows. I transposed them because I thought it was better for a little girl’s room that way, and the fact that I could make “RAINBOWS” in rainbow colors may have swayed me a little too.
You may download and print this PDF for your own personal use. The file is 8″x10″, so it will print nicely on a sheet of paper. I used card stock and a white wooden frame from Target.
I’d love to see it if you put this print in your own home too!

May 23, 2011 at 11:37 amAwesome, thanks for giving it away. My daughter *loves* this song, and her birthday is next week! Guess what she’s getting…
PS she also loves pink. =)
Ali
May 23, 2011 at 11:40 amThank You! Just printed this and will frame! I’m giving it to a friend who is in the hospital for the next 6 weeks on bed rest. She is pregnant and is having a girl. Now she will have something beautiful to look at in her room that she can then put in her daughters room when the baby is born! Thank you for sharing!

Kristin Cronk
May 23, 2011 at 11:57 amAdorable! Just out of curiosity, what is the font you’re using for the smaller type? Its by far one of the loveliest handwritten fonts I’ve seen in a very long time!
Making it Lovely
May 23, 2011 at 12:24 pmSuomi Hand. It’s the font I use all over the site.
Kristin Cronk
May 23, 2011 at 12:28 pmThanks! I adore it!
Adriana
May 23, 2011 at 12:04 pmNice! I am looking for art for my daughters room! I will definitely share once its up. Thanks!! :-)
Ali
May 23, 2011 at 12:06 pmThank you so much! This is super cute! I’m going to print it for my daughter, Ava Grace’s room! She is 4 1/2 and loves rainbow! Thank you for the sweet gift!
Where did you buy your frame!?! I’d love to copy you on that too!
Thanks again for the beautiful gift you shared with all of us your readers!
I’m curious about the font?

Making it Lovely
May 23, 2011 at 12:25 pmYes, Target for the frame. Which font were you curious about?
Ali
May 23, 2011 at 12:37 pmI know we are probably around the same age ( I may be older)! But,I seriously wish I had had a mother like you! :)
I was curious about the font you used for “will we have” and “day after day”and then also font you used for “RAINBOWS”!
Land of Nod should hire you to do some of their wall art pieces! :) You have such a neat sense of style and fun!
~ Ali
Making it Lovely
May 23, 2011 at 12:50 pmThanks! The first font is Verna (which I posted about here), and the other is Knockout.

May 23, 2011 at 12:20 pmThis is so cute. The fonts are so lovely. I would love to know what the smaller font is called? (ie: here’s what my mother said)

Kristen
May 23, 2011 at 12:20 pmAwesome… I was just looking at an 11×14 white frame I have …and an empty spot on my daughter’s wall, wondering what to do with it. Seriously – yesterday, in fact.
Thank you so much – this is perfect!

May 23, 2011 at 12:22 pmhmm… i can’t seem to get this to download correctly. i keep just getting a blank file. can anyone help?
thanks so much for sharing!
Making it Lovely
May 23, 2011 at 12:26 pmUh oh! Anyone else having any problems? I’m using a new service for the download link, but I thought I had set it up correctly.
Ali
May 23, 2011 at 12:40 pmSorry, I’m no help. I had no trouble at all with the download. Then I printed it quickly onto card stock on my home printer!
Thanks so much! :) I’m going to tell my daughter, Ava Grace that my LOVELY friend gave this to her as a gift! :)
I’ll be sure to email you a pic once I buy a frame and hang it in her room!
~ Ali
Lydia
May 23, 2011 at 5:43 pmKate, I had the same problem! I circumvented it by clicking on the actual image itself (not the “download” links), which took me to the Flickr posting of the image, which I was then able to download as a JPEG. Printed to cardstock it is now pinned up on my office wall awaiting a frame.
Soooo cute (and one of my favorite songs, btw: I sing it to my son all the time, just like my mom did with me) – a very big Thank You!!!
Making it Lovely
May 23, 2011 at 7:50 pmSmart solution! Here’s the direct link in case anyone else would like to try it that way.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7Bk4EtqCYk
We are having Björk song lyrics embroidered to hang in our daughter’s nursery. Can’t wait to see the finished result!
Making it Lovely
May 23, 2011 at 7:52 pmI have that version as well! It has a kind of creepy carnival undertone to it… but in a good way.
And embroidered Björk lyrics sounds like a fantastic idea.
Emily
May 23, 2011 at 1:12 pmAhhh makes me want a lil girl!

May 23, 2011 at 1:39 pmThanks Nicole! If we have a girl, this is definitely going on her wall! In the meantime, it may have to go somewhere in our house anyway! It looks lovely in Eleanor’s room!
adrienne
May 23, 2011 at 1:43 pmThanks for making this available Nicole. It seriously rocks. I am pregnant now, but not sure yet if it’s a boy or girl… But I might put it in a boy’s room anyways :)
Not sure what my husband will say however!

Kate
May 23, 2011 at 10:59 pmLovely (of course)! I sing this song to my girls all the time and now my 4 year old sings it to our newborn. It’ll be perfect for their shared bedroom.

May 24, 2011 at 2:29 amOh, Nicole, this is so beautiful! My best friend is pregnant and I think this print would look beautiful in her new kidsroom. Thank you so much. I think I have to go and tell my readers about this … xoxo caro

May 24, 2011 at 2:51 amPerhaps you would like to use the actual Spanish letters and symbols, if your font allows it. It would read:

May 24, 2011 at 11:08 amSuch a beautiful print! Eleanor will love the story of how your grandmother used to sing this song. I have a pile of prints waiting to be framed in my daughter’s room, and I think I will put your print on the top of them all.
Charisma
May 24, 2011 at 2:49 pmThanks for posting this, Nicole. My mom sang that song to me all the time while I was growing up. Now that she’s moving out of the state next week, I’d be great to put it up in my one-year-old’s bedroom as a reminder of her grandmother. Thanks again!!

Did you change out the curtains in your daughter’s room?
Are they from land of nod like the bedding for your daughter’s bed?
~ Ali
Making it Lovely
May 25, 2011 at 10:44 pmNo, these are the curtains that are still up in the nursery (from Pottery Barn Kids). I took the photo there, but I’ve since moved the print into Eleanor’s room.
