Today I hit the town and went shopping. It's exhausting, but once again nice to do it by myself and come home and lay down in peace. I got a few things for the girls for the new school year. Not a lot of warm stuff out yet and since I'm not one to buy fall and winter separately I stuck with pants and shoes. I was also able to hook up with Crystalyn for lunch since her mother-in-law takes her older kids on Fridays. It has been a great afternoon. Thanks Jill.
So now I'm resting waiting for Adam to come home so we can pick the girls up. You know I must say I'm looking forward to it. It is nice to have a chance to miss them.
As promised here are the layouts I did yesterday. Click here to see them larger.

I love that, "It was nice to have a chance to miss them". That explains it perfectly. I'm so glad you had some time. You have a way with color, Amy. I hope you got yourself some 'back to school' outfits, too.
You layouts turned out great. That makes me want to break out my stuff. I am SOO behind. My kids haven't been able to enjoy the recent ones because of it.
I love having a chance to miss my kids and my husband...it doesn't take long, an hour and I am wanting to be with them again! Sounds like you had a wonderful little vacation, the best kind!
Okay, let's just be honest, I'm totally jealous of your scrap time and finished pages!
I was thinking about you as I was lacking inspiration for layouts. Oh to have Amy's creativity.
I love your style, as always. The pages are wonderful. I'm glad you got some time for yourself -- always so rejuvenating.
your layouts make me wish i liked scrapbooking. alas, i'm still hoping to just get my photos stuck in some photo books so my kids can look at them. don't get me wrong...if my layouts looked anything like yours i would hope to have books full of them!
i was surprised when i recognized the photos on the bottom layout! i love it! that was such a fun day.
glad lunch worked out today. it was fun to see you.
What a treat! Alone time, creativity, and lunch and dinner dates -- perfect.
I love your style- love your sentiments about missing them. It is great to see your creations again.
It sounds like you packed a whole lot of goodness into your two days of freedom. Seriously, time at home alone (glorious), beautiful layouts, a date with Adam and lunch out with Crystalyn sounds good to me.
As always, you are a scrap genius. I love the colors and polka dot paper on the Bribery one and the papers also on the "Who Knew" layout. The photos of Bella dancing are classic. Never thought she had it in her! Looks so liberating! Must have been fun to have all that time to yourself.
Love the layouts...It's amazing how much easier it is to get anything done with no kids. And it's amazing to discover how quiet *quiet* really is...doesn't happen often. But I love that you were longing for them by the end. That's always the way it is.
i love the layouts amy... i have not scrapbooked in forever!!
hopefully my studio will be done soon and i can dive back in!!!
