looking back

last year when I started this blog I wasn't expecting much. It all started because my friend Emma convinced me to make a blog. I started with that terrible starters blog design than by reading some tutorials I my design grew and I added some pages. I'm still working on the writing piece, because its nice to read personal blogs. but on that point I also grew since the start. now 94 posts, 35 followers, 21951 page views and 132 comments later I am kind of proud of what I reached and I am full of energy to start this next year.

last week I went to buitenkunst (you could translate it as outside art). witch is a wonderful place. its an camping where you can participate workshops each day I made some paintings (kind of proud at them), song, wrote and listened to music. I really advise every body to go there, but you do have to be dutch. more about buitenkunst later I have only one week left before school starts. but for now I can look back at a nice vacation with Emma :). here some pics I made this vacation

happy birthday blog!

Exactly one year ago I wrote my first post, don't you think thats a reason for a party? I did! Me and Emma where one year bloggers so we baked a cake hang some flags and invited some friends. :)

It was nice and we had a lot of fun playing games like twister. this was the last time I saw Emma for 2 years, because she is going to Australia. Yesterday I said goodbye to Maud to, she is leaving to Florida for a high school year too. I don't like saying goodbye. but I will survive.

Today me and Emma waked up really early in the morning (6 o clock) to watch the sun rise. It was cool. after that we went to the airport to pick up two friends of  Emma. They are staying here for one week to see Holland. it was a really long day for me so I'm going to catch some sleep. because tomorrow is early again because we are going to de ijhallen.

last three days I left Emma alone, (don't worry she was fine with other Netherlands friends) to visit my boyfriend. I hadn't seen him for 2 weeks. and i will not see him for an other week now. we slept in our tent and we had our own lamp! (appreciate the small things). we ride a tandem and saw loads of pretty nature. it was really nice but now I am going to enjoy me with Emma again, which is loads of fun too!
