I figured that this would be one of those posts you’d click away because I’m not actually here, I’m telling you to go read my post somewhere else.
So I decided to make a vlog!
Warning: I did this in one shot, I did it during nap time, I had no makeup on and I used air quotes at some point in the video.
I also say “Um” a lot.
But it’s very short, less than a minute. It’d take you less time to watch it than it is to read this.
Anyway, it’s still hard for me to say I’m a writer.
So when the folks at Studio 30 Plus contacted me to be the Featured Writer?
Mind blown.
Would you pretty please hop over there and read my post on ghosts?
Yes, ghosts. The supernatural.
It’s Halloween month after all.
Thank you, friends.

That was creepy! Yikes! By the way, I am talking about your ghosts post, NOT your vlog…that I loved!
So fun to put a voice to someone whose words I read all the time!

Thanks Ashley! Glad you didn’t think the vlog was creepy. I would rethink my fashion choices though
awwww. i wish i could give u a big hug through the monitor!
you’re so darn cute!
vanita recently wrote…Empower Network: Where You Learn Nothing
I’ll settle for a virtual hug-it-out.
Eep! That sounds totally creepy.
Love hearing your voice again. And the apparently empty house did a great job in that vlog. It deserves an Oscar. (As do you.)
It was creepy!
I wish the house looked like that all the time. I figured, since it’s super clean, good time to do vlog
Fascinating post over at Studio 30. I don’t really believe in ghosts. But I do have a love for chills and things unexplained. Weird me!
You know when you read blogs for some time, and wonder ‘how this person will sound in real life?’ I’m glad to hear your voice, because it turned out to be exactly as I imagined.
which, of course, is nice.

Thanks for reading over there, Farah! I’m kinda fascinated by the supernatural too, I won’t lie!
And thank you for your very nice words!
Love seeing and hearing you Alison!
I am scared to go read, but I’m going anyway.
*biting my nails*

Thank you for braving it and reading, Mirjam!
We stayed in a house once on our way back from a vacation to Colorado. It was supposedly used for ski vacation-ers and was in New Mexico but when we got there in the PITCH dark it was quite scary to me. I ended up sleeping in a room all by myself on the other side of the house. I have NO idea how I was brave enough to do that. Pretty sure the place was haunted, just from the feelings I got.
Nice ghosts, I guess.
Elaine A. recently wrote…We are SO beyond matchy-matchy…
OHEMGEE, you brave, brave girl! I don’t think I can even handle ‘nice’ ghosts. Eep!
absolutely loved your story girl! wanted to signup for Studio30 myself, somewhere i can write creatively…as soon as i get a moment. and yes, i do believe in ghosts. i don’t think they can harm you. but i believe they exist.
vanita recently wrote…Empower Network: Where You Learn Nothing
Do sign up, and do write! Would love to read. And why am I not surprised that you do believe?
So good to hear you and seeing you vlogging, Alison! You should do more
Maureen recently wrote…Island Hopping At It’s Best
Thanks Maureen! I might. If I can find time – the editing is so tedious!
I have a hard time believing you don’t think of yourself as a writer; you are one of my very favorites in this bloggy world for a reason. I always love to stop by and soak in your words.
You had a fabulous post at S3P. Thank you so much for sharing over there today
Charlotte recently wrote…why I almost wore an eye patch on a 1st date and how I found my leprechaun in a haystack
I think others are more confident of my writing than I am, which is strange but nice! Loved being over at S30P, thanks for having me!
Dude!!!! That is freaky!!! I’m kind of like you in your beliefs. I don’t think I believe in them (because of my faith), but I don’t NOT believe in them…does that make sense?
And, silly girl…YOU ARE A WRITER!!!!!! A wonderful one at that.

Runnermom-jen recently wrote…Seasons…
Yes, I know what you mean exactly! I am keeping my mind open, y’know?
And gosh, thank you for that, really.
OMGosh! You are beautiful and charming and everything I would have thought. And the Ghost piece? Gorgeous writing and slightly creepy, I may add. Do I believe? I am not sure. I have never had a supernatural experience but others that I know have – there has got to be something to it.
ilene recently wrote…My Big Bad Belly Tattoo
Oh my, Ilene, you’re seriously too kind!! And thank you for heading over to read, I really appreciate that.
It was creepy, even thinking about what happened all those years ago, gives me the heebie jeebies.
You are so beautiful in “person”…I just want to squish you to bits.
Ok off to visit.
Congrats by the way!!! Whoot xox

I’ll take a hug xoxo
Thank you for reading!
Ghosts and goblins oh my! Perfect post for Halloween…I do think their are ghosts but never had an encounter!
Natalie recently wrote…Trucks, Trucks, & More Trucks!
And I hope you never do!
Loved your story, Alison! That state between being awake and asleep is one where it is so hard to know the dream from reality. And in a strange, old house? That would be scary. Also, I have never heard about whistling at night; I am going to remember that one.
Kim recently wrote…Captains’ Quotes – Optimism
Thinking about that house is giving me the creeps!
Damn you are cute. I want your hair…and you SHOULD be a featured writer…EVERYWHERE!!! xoxoxo
tracy recently wrote…Sports? What Are Sports? #vlogmom
Oh I’m not liking my hair right now so thank you for being so sweet!!
This is really cute! Good for you for giving vlogging a go! I love stories about ghosts, so, on my way to check it out!!
Alexa recently wrote…Gratitude – RePost
Thanks for reading, Alexa! I used to vlog a lot more, but fell out of the habit. May do it again!
It’s so cool to put a voice to the words!
As for ghosts, I do believe in them. Mostly the good ones.
And I’ve been thinking of joining Studio 30+ since I notice the badge on your blog last week. Small world, or something!
Lorna recently wrote…Back To School. In My Pajamas.
Good ghosts – still, ghostly
Do join S30P!
Love your voice, Alison!
Congrats on the Studio 30 +!!!!
Thank you Ewa!
I swear I have a Studio30 account. But it’s not working.
Anyway, you totally freaked me out!
Oh boo! Thank you for reading! (I hope you meant the story freaked you out, not my vlog, heh)
Oooooomgosh,
Love your accent sooooooooooo much.
& you are Toooo adorable
I love!
My Inner Chick recently wrote…Mr. Craig, Kardashian Sucks, & Visualizing Metaphors
Strange accent, yes? Neither here nor there.
You asked me to make sure to let you know when I started it. I also have the direct link to image too. Plus you made MY Top Bloggers list, go check it out http://mooninacup.blogspot.com/2012/10/my-top-bloggers-mommy-yes-yes-i-know.html

Thanks so much Amanda! I disabled text selection on the blog but it should be okay now!
I figured but I wanted to put your button on the post =]
Amanda Jillian recently wrote…Pine Needle Overload, Cause I Can
I don’t have any personal ghost stories (thank you very much) but two of my friends had a ghost experience when they were in Somaliland and I was the one who told them to go talk to each other because they hadn’t told the other what they saw before coming to me. Creepy.
Lady Jennie recently wrote…Farewells
Eeeek! Totally creepy!
I never join Studio 30 Plus to leave comments because I’m not 30. So I feel like I’m not allowed. But I will be 30 in January, so maybe I can sneak in? Shhh! Don’t tell anyone.
Usually I never watch videos. But I clicked play. It was nice to put a voice to your picture and words. =) It was great!
Tracie recently wrote…10 Things We Learned From 10 Years Of Marriage
Wait, what? You’re not even 30! I just assumed everyone who read my blog was above 30, haha!
If that’s you with no makeup then I think I may have to “hate you” just a little bit (“hate you” is in air quotes). You looked lumninous – especially against the soft colors of whatever room you were in and the ambient light from the window. It was all very zen.
I also like your barely-perceptible British accent. At least I think it was British. I couldn’t tell. What? It was barely perceptible!
Anyway, I read the post. It was awesome.
Kristin recently wrote…Conversations With My Mother
It was the living room, and it looked empty because I had cleared the play area to get it cleaned thoroughly, and the kids were napping, so I hadn’t put everything back yet. Also, I drew the curtains back. And yes, I actually don’t wear makeup, like ever. Pregnancy hormones were kind to me, and so far, the chin zits haven’t returned. Have I jinxed myself?
The accent, yes. It’s strange, right? Not British, not…. anything.
Thanks for reading my ghost story!
So I started reading this while nursing the baby for her bedtime feeding…in the dark. Yeah, I had to stop because just a few nights ago I fell asleep nursing her in that same chair and had a creepy nightmare! Just finished reading it though, and it rings a bell with me. I always think of that saying in The Sixth Sense where the kid talks about the hairs standing back of your neck. It’s why I’m rarely home alone without some sort of background noise!

I love that you vlogged. LOVED! So great to give your lovely face a sound byte in my mind.

I actually miss Vlog Talk, but don’t tell @mytimeasmom.
I could use a ghost story and I love Studio 30. As soon as I catch up here, I’ll head over.
