I have been blessed this year to be in the group, "Themes of 2014." It's a group of wonderfully supportive and inspiring female photographers. I haven't been good about posting my collages or images this year (sorry!). But, I have to say, putting them all together like this makes me want to go out and shoot more :) Thanks for stopping by!!Alana Gilletthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18289891124558445554noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1741183128701670296.post-64131788214982501602014-06-13T16:09:00.000-04:002014-06-13T16:09:35.770-04:00Words of Wisdom with Jane Austen- Refusing offers of marriage and telling tales...<div style="text-align: center;">

Here's another episode of "Words of Wisdom with Jane Austen." I have been so busy (sewing, organizing events, and editing videos) that I'm a day late in sharing this video...so sorry! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hoping some day I'll catch up on sleep and my to-do list!</div>

I have entered the very busy filming and editing season.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last week, I filmed 3 different projects and edited 4.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been crazy, but good!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I even spent part of Mother's Day filming :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thankfully, it was outside and I was surrounded by flowers and plants.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a beautiful day at the Gardeners' Fair at Locust Grove! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some of the latest short films I have done...Jane Austen lovers rejoice!</div>

One of the short film projects that I have been working on lately is </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Words of Wisdom with Jane Austen."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My friend, Emily, and I got together </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at the beginning of this year</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to plan out different video series that</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
celebrate Jane Austen and reveal different aspects of Regency life</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as a way to promote the 2014 Jane Austen Festival</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that's coming up on July 18th, 19th, and 20th of this year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since winter seemed to drag on and on this year,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
filming kept getting pushed back further and further.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until the beginning of this month,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when my other friend and very talented actress, Marrie Koch,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and co-hort in "All things Jane Austen," Bonny Wise,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
met at National Historic Landmark, Locust Grove, to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
film in the 1790s house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Locust Grove was the perfect setting for these short films.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am very grateful for the opportunity to film there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There has been a great response so far!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have new episodes to release every Monday leading up the Festival in July.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, here's the first two episodes, for your viewing pleasure,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(they're only about 20-30 seconds in length):<br />

It has been a whirlwind first four months of 2014...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Here's a list of what I've been up to:</i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
In the midst of all this, I have been playing Cars, building farms, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
acting as different animal puppets, and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
reading books (lots of books) with my Pre-K-er. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As well as squeezing time in with my very patient and loving husband.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The craziness isn't going to end any time soon,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so please bear with me if I'm not posting regularly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

We were concluding our year long celebration of the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
200th publication anniversary of "Pride & Prejudice,"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I wanted to include pages from a copy of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Pride & Prejudice" in the decorations.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Plus some BIG P & P's :)</div>

Hi blog readers!!! Happy December :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This past weekend was my craziest weekend in a while,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I'm sorry I fell off the radar...again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was furiously creating decorations for the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jane Austen Society of North America- Greater Louisville Region's </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
December Birthday and Christmas Tea</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(<i>post with pictures to come soon</i>)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
plus practicing Christmas flute music for the same event</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I got to play several duets with a historical harpsichord!!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was also preparing for children's crafts for </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Christmastide at Locust Grove</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(<i>post with pictures to come soon</i>).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, now I'm working on getting caught up on all the projects </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I need to complete before the end of 2013.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First up are my final two "Colors of 2013 with Eva Ricci Studios" collages.</div>

In my three years of selling on Etsy, I had been waiting for this day...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
one of my photographs was included in a daily Etsy finds email!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I couldn't believe it when I first saw it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each day I have scrolled through those emails, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
hoping that </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
maybe,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just maybe,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
one of the images would be mine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then it happened.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Scrolling through the Etsy email titled "Merry & Bright," </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw it...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my "Butterfly Lights" photograph :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I wish I could send a *HUG* to Taylor, who put the email together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had an AMAZING response to my photograph </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with lots of shop and listing favorites.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And to top it off,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Since I am three months behind in blogging,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I'd do a catch-up post on my August, September, and October collages</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for the Colors of 2013 with Eva Ricci Studios. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Underneath each collage is the link to the blog post </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with all my colleagues amazing images from that month. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I highly recommend checking these posts out...they are visually stunning!</div>

OH MY GOODNESS! I did not realize how long I have neglected my blog...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*shaking my head in utter shame*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My sincerest apologies to my followers!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've actually been in a social media rut...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
partly due to being very busy with other projects </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and partly due to my fear of writing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not sure if I've shared this before, but I'm not a huge fan of writing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It takes me a LONG time to write just a short message.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a perfectionist.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I worry that I don't really have anything good to say, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and if anyone is<i> reading</i> what I am saying. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm working on it and I hope you'll understand if I don't write much on some of my posts :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have some beautiful images to share with you today, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the first day of NOVEMBER (how did that happen???). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was able to go on a photo walk two days ago around my neighborhood.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The trees are hitting their peak Fall color right now and are absolutely stunning!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not sure if I've said this before, but </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fall is my absolute favorite season, hands down!</div>
