New and wonderful apartment from the 70's :-)

Me and my friend Sam recently moved into an apartment about 10 minutes from school. When we first went to see the apartment complex, the owners told us we could go look at the "show apartments" and so we did... literally, when we stepped over the threshold, it was as if we had stepped back in time 40 years. Shaggy carpet, brown cabinets, and mustardy yellow couches. It was absolutely terrible, so lets just say that when we were asked if we wanted furnished or unfurnished, we decided to stick with our random furniture that we have collected from different family members of sam's :-)

So we have now been to a total of 2 greek festivals in about 2 weeks. And i could have gone to more. The food is awesome and its so much fun to hear all the greek :-)

Spring time and photoshoots

School is really getting tougher, but i have made some time to do some fun photography.



Majken being spoiled

So many new things...

So it is spring break, and unlike most students, I am at home haha! However, I have plenty of work i need to catch up on, as well as plenty of projects to work on.

Here are some paintings i did a little while ago.



Its hard to see in these pictures, but there is blue glitter on the flower and silver glitter behind the red flower.

Icy snow

For a few days now, it has been really cold, so first it snowed, then it rained and then it froze. Its very interesting attempting to go to class when parts of the side walk is just a sheet about 3 centimeter of ice. However, it is very pretty out and although it is cold, i have to admit that i am somewhat enjoying it.

Anyways, I have had some time to craft, so i made this pencil case for school.

I also got some time to play around with my camera, and especially with my macro lens!

Florida

This year Florida was really nice! The weather was awesome, we only had one day where it rained in the afternoon. Practice was also a lot better this year, we did more running and one day we did an ocean swim/beach run! It was so much fun because we were divided into teams and my team won!




Here is sam collecting sea shells for her mom.


This was when we were on the Jungle Queen. The Jungle Queen is a boat trip that you can take and they show you all the large houses and then the trip ends at an island where they have a buffet. Very touristy. It was a lot of fun because the whole team hung out together.


The first day we came down to the beach, it was covered by man of wars like this one! they were pretty gross!

Christmas and pictures!

So i have been playing around with the new camera, however my finals started today, therefore I have been trying to focus on school.
Today I decided to take some fun christmas pictures of Majken that will be sent out to friends and family.
I cropped the pictues so that the surprise will not be ruined :-)



Here is a picture of Kajsa :-)
Majken has really earned Mikes nick-name for her "Far-Cat" over the weekend I caught her carrying a dorritos bag around.

Mom you spoil me...

... thank you for the more than amazing camera!!!

My birthday was two days ago and yesterday i received an email letting me know that my package from my mom was supposed to arrive. So i ran home and waited for the UPS truck to arrive. I got a new Canon rebel XS. It is absolutely amazing. I read through the manual last night and today i began shooting. So here are some pictures that i took. Naturally my first subject were none other than majken and Kajsa :-)
