Summer is skipping along WAY too fast!  Another month down and it’s time to give our desktops a fresh look for the new month!  Once again, my favorite ladies did not fail with the free desktop themes for August.

Julie of LeeLou Blogs has pulled out all the bells and whistles for this Aloha themed FREE August 2011 Desktop.
