Hello, dears!
Yayyy, I’m so excited for this etcetera post! I made the last one in September, so I have a BUNCH of random photos to catch up on, with subjects ranging from flowers and fall leaves to self-portraits and donkeys. 🙂
A heap of random pretty photos coming your way in 3… 2… 1!
Let’s go!
Hello, dears!
It feels like I haven’t done a sunset post in AGES! Remember when I used to do them all the time? I should get back into photographing them more because ahhh! Sunsets! Enough said.
Before we start, a note: I made this series to motivate myself (and you!) to get outside even on days when it seems so much more productive and useful to stay in front of the computer. I don’t know about you, but can only stare at a screen for so long before my brain starts getting frizzy. :’D So! I shall take you with me on a walk around our farm, adding in a little twist or art/photography prompt that you can try too. 🙂
Today we’ll be looking for interesting ways to capture the colors of sunsets other than just taking a picture of the sunset itself. (Future Allison: LIKE FRED! AND AUGUSTUS!)
Ahem. Onwards!
Hello, dears!
I recently had the opportunity to housesit for some friends. I’d never done that before, so I was excited to “play house” and live by myself for a few days. It was fun! And strangely quiet, after living with six other people. 😛 It was nice to come home and be with my family again, though, where there’s always something going on. 🙂
Most of my responsibilities concerned feeding the animals, so of course I had to get a bunch of photos of them while I was at it. If you like cats, dogs, goats, chickens, rabbits, or all of the above, you might enjoy this post!
Let’s go find some cuteness.
Hello, dears!
Another fall post! Are you surprised? 😛 Hee hee, but somehow this happens every year – autumn is such a fleeting and beautiful season that I can’t help but get a TON of pictures before it leaves (no pun intended 😛 )! Anyway, this should be the last completely fall-themed post for a while, and I think you’re going to like this finale. 😉
Megan and I did a sisters photoshoot a while ago when the leaves were still on the trees – and even a little on the early side as far as color goes. We both got some really nice shots! As usual, credit goes to Megan for the photos of me, while I took the pictures of her and edited all the ones in this post.
I hope you enjoy! 😀
Hello, dears!
Today is an exciting day, because I’m about to reveal the winner of my book launch giveaway, YAYYY! 😀 For those of you who didn’t win, I will provide links to most of the things in the giveaway in case you’d like to get them yourselves. I’m also going to do another seasonal playlist at the end with some aesthetic fall pictures. 🙂
I know you guys probably just skipped that whole paragraph, so let’s just get into it, huh? XD

Hello, dears!
Guess what, guys? It’s November! *throws fall leaf confetti* A less obvious fact: that means Inktober, the popular month-long art challenge, is over. In case you’re not familiar with Inktober, you’re basically supposed to make an ink drawing every day for the whole month, using prompts from an official list. And I am happy to say I MADE IT! I used all the prompts, drew (almost) every day, and finished with over 31 pages of inky art.
Even though I dislike how some pieces turned out, overall I like my Inktober sketches more than the ones I did last year, which is great. 🙂 I can’t wait to show you guys what I drew, so let’s get into it!
Hello, dears!
I’m back again with some photography while we wait to see who won the giveaway! 😉 Hee hee. But guys, thank you all SO much for your wonderful comments and excitement about my book – I can’t tell you how much it means to me. ❤ I’ll link the recent blog tour posts at the end of this post, but for now… how about some macro raindrop photography?
I must say, this photoshoot includes some of my favorite nature pictures I’ve taken in a while – and they’re not even autumn-themed. Shocking! XD I hope you enjoy this refreshing dose of bejeweled webs, garden plants, and flowers.
Hello, dears!
AHHHHHH. I AM IMMENSELY EXCITED. Because guys – it’s finally time to reveal my second poetry book! *happy dance* I’ve been working on this project for the past year, and I’m so ready to announce it officially. 🙂
This year, the book launch will be accompanied by a small-ish blog tour and A GIVEAWAY! Eeep! I’m so excited for the giveaway too; I kind of want to keep everything myself. 😛
So, let’s jump right in before I burst with excitement. 😀
Hello, dears!
I just spent a lovely weekend at a women’s retreat with my church! And now that I have internet again, I’m back with some snippets of various fall photoshoots I’ve done in the past month or so. 🙂
Also, I’m also planning an exciting post coming up this Friday (which may or may not involve a giveaway 😉 ), so stay tuned for that!
Ahem. But now, let’s get into those photos…
