I have so much to blog about!
But for now, tomorrow morning i am off to the shack at St Helens...
I can't believe it has been a whole year since we have been there!!!
Asha was only a teeny tiny baby last time. This time he is crawling through the water chasing the "ducks" (seagulls!) without any fear!
I'm looking forward to some time relaxing, without contact with the world (as Optus has no service there!) Just me, my family, the sun, heaps of good books, the beach and my camera! Can't wait :)
See you in the new year!!! :)
My new room
Tuesday, December 21, 2010
Last weekend i moved back home...
It is quite lovely to be back...
I have a lovely new room in a guest room off the garage...
It is huge, and lovely and clean and nice... :p
There is an ensuite too, but it is not quite finished yet, but it is still awesome!!
I am loving having my own space, close to my home and my family, only about a ten metre walk away, but still far enough away that i can have some space... :)
I think i need a new book case... i may invest in one after christmas...
It's awesome to have my own space... and it is big enough for all my stuff, even for my art easel to be set up! :)
In short, it is awesome!!! :) I am loving it! :)

Art Exhibition
Monday, December 13, 2010
Before exams all of my art from the year went up in an exhibition with the other art class and the photography class.
The work from the year was of a really high standard and everything looked great, especially all up on the walls next to each other! The night started off with a welcome from the art captain and from Liam James, followed by drinks and nibbles as you walked around and admired the art.
This is what was seen as everyone walked in - my paintings up in the hall. Most of the art was in the two rooms off to the right.
I know i have told people how big they were, but still, people were so surprised when they saw them up on the wall :)
It was nice to have so many people come along and support me, and to compliment me on all my hard work.. I am not normally a big fan of being praised, but it was fun for a night :p
Asha loved the bright colours, and especially loved when he was allowed to get down and crawl, and hit the paintings as much as he liked :)
My artist statement.. which is like an overview of my work and why i did it..
Morgan and I...
Me and Jasmine...
My cousins - Preston and Pheobe...
Another cousin - Ella...
Asha and I ...
Stuart...
And Sarah, Me and Lisa...
After the exhibition we went to Hungry Jacks to grab some tea on the way home... Asha was just too cute in his crown :)
I had so much fun painting during the year!!! It was so relaxing for me, and i loved it :)
I am sad that i no longer have art class with Mrs Crawford every monday, tuesday and thursday, i don't know what i am going to do without it :( I miss it already!!
A MASSIVE thank you to Mrs Crawford - my paintings would not have come together without her!
And a big thank you to everyone who came along and supported me on the night, i really appreciate it :)
Now what am i actually going to do with seven huge paintings!?? haha :)

Made a decision about...

... my future!!!
All year people have been asking me what i am going to do next year and beyond. There was so much pressure at school to say something like; become a doctor and travel the world.
I have finally, in the last month or so, decided what i am going to do.
For next year i have applied for TAFE to do a course in photo imaging (photography) ... It is a one or two year course depending on if you want to get a diploma and become a professional or not.. I havent decided yet. I guess i will see if i love it or not.
Beyond that i know i want to do social work. I don't want to do that straight away though. I want a gap year but i don't want to sit around and do nothing. So i decided photography was the way to go, as i am just loving playing with my camera and taking pics at the moment.
I have an interview next Thursday the 9th at 9am.. I am super nervous already! I have to take a portfolio with me of some photos that i have taken. They have to be a variety of images to show what i like to take pictures of and what i can do. Portraits, scenery etc.
I want to share just a few that are included in it :)

Asha meeting the birds at nana and papa's house... Love these two shots
