This year got super crazy as soon as little Miss E. arrived in April. We spent the summer bouncing around in Utah and then ended up in Kentucky where Paul is teaching at a University. Graduation, a summer spent moving around with a toddler and newborn while we were praying that Paul would be able to find work.

Lately it seems our trend is to move in August with the school year. With Lady A's birthday in October it is a great chance to invite little friends and their family's over so that we can get to know them and they can get to know us. Most of my supplies are still in boxes so we went the route of a digital invitation. This way we can also be able to share it with our family back home. 

Our theme was Princess Sophia and I am ok with that I really enjoy Princess Sophia, she is a Disney princess closer to my daughters age going dealing with more similar issues, ya know than the traditional damsel who is just looking for her prince/knight in shining armor.

I found these great vector images here to place on the card. 

My church family is the best. One thing they love to do is get together, and a baby shower is a wonderful reason for us to all hangout. I have been to more baby showers in the short time we have lived here than the rest of my life combined. The games are hilarious and there are a couple of us who are a bit competitive ~ always a good time.

This past week has been  crazy. Paul was out of town and I am just over 36 weeks. My body has not enjoyed this pregnancy and I have been sleeping in the recliner for the last 3-4 weeks. I have been falling asleep every time I sit down so I did not think I was going to get a card up this week.

Tonight {Saturday} we had a dinner before the Women's Conference {Lady A and I went for the dinner part but went home for the conference because it was too late to keep her up} with the ladies from church. I was handed an invitation to my own baby shower next weekend. YEA!!! There were four of us due within about six weeks of each other and I am the last one. We will also be moving shortly after and since I have tried to make it to every baby shower possible, I am super excited for one last get together with these ladies before we leave.

I have pinned a couple of items or shared some things on FB and these cards are perfect. For Lady A we did owls and for Lady #2 we want to do elephants and I will continue with the yellow and grey color scheme, I used them in the afghan I recently finished. Since this invitation was made on my behalf, and because I think it is so cute, I am counting it as my card for this week.

This week I did an invitation for our New Beginnings program that will be this Sunday. It is a little later than normal for the program but the Young Womens Presidency was changed up unexpectedly so that had to be done first.

The colors I was given were pink and yellow {yea...a little bit of spring colors, I would love to see the sun} and I was on a time crunch so I went with simple and uniform. This was also the first time I used washi tape. It is a super fun and easy accent to add, I have a feeling I will be using it more often from now on.

If you would like a digital copy of the Theme for the Youth this year we found it here.

Don't mind the bad photos. I have to try and time it all so that I can take photos during the 10 minutes during the week that the sun is out. This week I have not been so lucky so the photos are taken with my wonderful apartment lighting.
