I don’t know what it is about Septembers, but for some reason it’s a horrible month to find a desktop that fits my style and taste.

Yes, I change my desk top every month.  I saw friends (mainly Firemom!) posting about it a long time ago and saw how it’s a great way to display pictures and change things up each month.  However, September just seems to be lacking in my opinion.  September for other people is full of “back to school” themes or Patriotic themes for 9/11, and no offense if you like those on your desk top, but I don’t. Especially since it’s the month of my birthday! I don’t want primary colors reminding me that school it back in session, or a constant reminder that my birthday (September 11th) was filled with such tragedy years ago (not to say I don’t remember the changes and losses of that day, but it’s not a focus I want the entire month). I want my desk top to reflect me.  Every other month other people come up with fantastic desk tops that reflect me, but just not during September. Go figure.

The same thing happened last year, I had to make my own to suite my own taste. I had (still have) a love of pink and brown last  year.  This year? I wanted lots of bold color. It’s taken me two nights and 3 different styles to make what I was looking for, but I simply love it.

The quote says:

Something special happens on your birthday
each year: The same energy that God invested
in you at birth is present once again.
