where have I been? Dreaming of Bali!

Where have I been you might  ask? I have been off in my own mind for the past week or so (sorry for the lack of posts.). 

I saw Eat Pray Love yesterday and dove into daydream land.

For the past while I have been wanting to go. To be anywhere but the forest (I know, slightly crazy.) 

And now I know that the place I want to be is Bali in Indonesia.

I want to go and stay in a little shack, I want to stay for two weeks and just 'be'.

I would take photos all day. I would go for walks and unwind. Swim in lovely blue water and eat like crazy.

I am now saving for this, because I know for a fact this is something one day I would like.

I have even started to learn Indonesian ^-^

In other news!

I am starting to get busy with dance. So if I don't post, its not because I don't love you all! I promise!

See you soon!

want to be on my wall?

I'm making a goal for this year.

Do you want to be apart of it?

My goal is to make an entire wall (in my room) like a huge art piece, with a large amount of instax fujifilm mini shots. 

*edit*

I have been thinking about it more and quite a few of you don't have these cameras, so if you wanted to send a photo whatever you have will do just fine :) no matter the size (the wall could use some other shapes :D ) 

This is where you come in!

If you have one of these cameras or a photo (that does not have to be an instax), and would like to take part in this, take a photo of, you, a friend or something you find interesting, then email me at agirlnamedastrid@gmail.com and I will give you my address to send your photo to!

I will put your photo on my wall (and maybe send you something sweet as a thank you!)

Its just that simple ^_^

If you are interested please email me and I would be more than happy to get your photo and put it up *grin*

I miss digging my toes in the earth by the water...

come on spring... just a little more cold and then it will slowly melt away, I long to walk out in bare feel in a dress and feel the earth between my toes, how I long for walking till my feet hurt and to sit in a tree and look out to the world buzzing, I miss those summer loves.. come on snow, melt away, please ♥

all images from we heart it.

Oh my, Hamilton part two *wink* we, (my mother and I) had some wonderful times..

We went to The Print Studio to do one of the pieces in my moms show in silk screen form.

We got some wonderful help from Delio, (Congrats again on the baby!).

Too much wonderful-ness. Yes that is not a word but who cares?! I don't ^_^
