It’s August! I can’t tell you how excited I am that it is finally August! Why? August is the month that we load up the vehicle with too much stuff, two kids and ourselves and drive to Emerald Isle, North Carolina for a week of beaching, sunning, relaxing and all-around vacationing. Hip hip hooray! As such, I wanted a fun, non-girly desktop this month that embraced the beach and/or vacation life.
And I found it! At Amanda Heimann Designs. Here’s my final result.
The desktop itself is made from two themes, I Sea and Slice of Summer, which you can also purchase in Scrap Orchard.
All that said, I know that August doesn’t mean fun in the sun and vacations for everyone. In fact, by the end of the month, we’ll have switched gears to get BigBrother ready for his second year of preschool. If that’s going on in your home this month (or even next), you might want to know about the current Blog Train. The theme this month is Back-to-School and it features a large number of freebies made by some very talented digital scrapbookers (like this one from Designs by Laura. I’m busy downloading some this morning so I can properly scrap up BigBrother’s second first day of school.
Have a great August! (Thirteen days!)

You never cease to amaze me with your desktops. You always seem to find the prettiest and you’re on the ball with making them. I still have June’s desktop on my computer.

Make one today! It’s Sunday! (I didn’t make mine yesterday because we were so busy. So it was a day late this month. Plus, I was sad to take down July’s because it was so pretty.)
