August in Review
Hi everyone! Is it September already? How did that happen? This year is just flying by! It has been a pretty busy month for both Melissa and myself. I was especially busy at the end of August and the first few days of September (the reason why this recap is a little late). Technically all the exciting stuff has happened for me in September, so you I won’t give you a recap on all the awesomeness that was the first few days of September until the next recap - by then I might be able to process it all as well :)
So, here is our August recap!

What do you think?
Woha, I have not been here for a while and LOOK IT’S ALL PURPLE AND DIFFERENT! It’s a very nice new design. XD Glad you had a good August, but sheesh, is it just me or is this year going awfully fast?!! ;)
Cait @ Notebook Sisters recently posted…How do you balance reading ALL the blogs?
You didn’t need to admit that you hadn’t been here for awhile Cait, the redesign only just went up :) But we are glad that you like it!
And yes, the year is flying by - it will be Christmas before we know it (eeeek).
Oh my god I love your new design!!! It’s gorgeous :D And I still love the little owls poking around, hehe.
Thanks for linking me!

Thanks Kayla :) We are loving the bright colours - just to add to the happiness of talking about books. And yes, our little owls will be still popping up everywhere.
