Hi Everyone and happy Friday!!!  Today is the month of August in my mini book of my girls.  We took a week long family vacation last summer, and had a blast!  Our last stop on the way back home was the Virginia Safari Park.  It is a drive thru zoo that allows you to enjoy the animals from the car, and feed them.  It was soooo much fun!  I highly recommend it.  It also has a walking portion that includes a bird enclosure where you can feed the birds as well.  At first we were a little unnerved by birds landing on us (I kept thinking of the movie The Birds), but we quickly realized the feeling was mutual.    Looking back through my book, I am amazed at how much the girls grew over the summer.

I was getting a little bit frustrated with not being able to add a lot of “junk” to my book (flowers, metal, charms, etc) in an effort to keep the bulk down because of my flap closure, so I pulled out my acrylic paint and metallic distress stains to do some circles on the page.  I thought it was also funny and fitting to do it on the page with the picture of the bird.  I have a sick sense of humor.

I hope you have enjoyed the book so far.  If you have missed any of the previous month’s post the links are below.  Have a great weekend!!!!
