I'm setting up shop at </span><a href="http://alliwoodsfrederick.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">Kisses & Chaos</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> (aka </span><a href="http://alliwoodsfrederick.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">AlliWoodsFrederick.blogspot.com) </span></a><span style="font-size: large;">I sincerely hope you'll come by and check it out. I really wanted to move away from this vision and create something new. It's time to move on and let Down & Dirty Designs go the way of the dodo. </span><a href="http://downanddirty.etsy.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">Down & Dirty Designs</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> is staying open on etsy for the time being, but once it's closed I will still have a presence there via </span><a href="http://fizzypopvintage.etsy.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">Fizzy Pop Vintage</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">, which is currently under construction. I will have a new website up and running insanely soon...keep checking </span><a href="http://alliwoodsfrederick.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">Kisses & Chaos</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> for updates. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"> While I have enjoyed Down & Dirty Designs, I feel the need to move away from the limitations it has created for itself (and me!) and branch out...Le Coeur Rouge will now be filling the void left by Down & Dirty...it's more expansive...photography, illustration, collage, prints, postcards...you get the idea. I also want to focus on my freelance career. I just need to shake my life up a bit and what better way to do so than to make a fresh start. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Thanks for all your support over the years. You've all been aces! I hope to see you over at my </span><a href="http://alliwoodsfrederick.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">new digs</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">. Take care and I'll see you soon.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

X my heart.<br /> Many of our accessories and decorations<br />were bought from some wonderful etsy artists...the rest I created myself. Did the diy quadruple<br />my workload? Yes. Was it worth it? Totally.<br />I have to dash, but stay tuned...I'll be back in March with photos, link and, hopefully, some<br />great stories...<br />kisses & chaos!<br /><br /></span></span></div>Alli Woods Frederickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01539262580977746110noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051810425156804050.post-46852563773554375712009-09-07T08:15:00.003-05:002009-09-07T08:23:39.092-05:00Insanely Hectic<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;">So things have been positively INSANE around here lately.<br />For those of you who aren't aware, I'm getting married!<br />I'm incredibly excited and incredibly busy trying to get everything<br />planned. I never understood why people would hire a wedding planner, but now I totally get it. It's fun but absolutely exhausting...everytime you think you're done making decisions another one pops up! So please hang in there...I know I'm not posting as much as I should (or would like to, for that matter), but I will do my best to keep you all abreast of the lastest happenings.<br />Next week I'll try to post some links to some of the absolutely<br />fantastic wedding goodies that I've found over the past two months...<br />they are truly drool worthy.<br />Till then...<br />xxx<br /></span></div>Alli Woods Frederickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01539262580977746110noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051810425156804050.post-81688932238683201452009-07-15T12:51:00.004-05:002009-07-15T12:58:33.417-05:00My First Interview & a Free Gift<p align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">So I've just finished my first interview and I must say I rather enjoyed it.

Things have been askew since last September when I, having decided that I did not want to subject myself nor my darling feline companion, Mischa, to the hellacious heat and misery that was to follow in the wake of Hurricane Ike, decided to evacuate while the getting was good. Rather than return to Houston where the failing economy was causing problems for my massage therapy practice, I decided to head towards the Ozarks where my loving family lives. I do not regret the decision by any means. I have met some wonderful people, made some new friends and met my amazing fiance. I am, however, finding the job market absolutely impossible to navigate. Having to give up my practice and career and start anew (Arkansas doesn</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">'</span><span style="font-family:Another Typewriter;">t offer reciprocity for my massage license </span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">~</span><span style="font-family:Another Typewriter;">grumble grumble</span><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">~</span><span style="font-family:Another Typewriter;">) is frustrating enough, but when jobs are hard to come by it</span> <span style="font-family:Another Typewriter;">becomes quite maddening.

Burton Thursday<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Am I the only person that is super duper excited<br />about Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland?"<br />Last year, upon

/>Hip-hip-hooray!<br />The cast seems interesting enough...although Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter<br />come as little surprise, I can't wait to see Crispin Glover as the Knave of Hearts and<br />Christopher Lee as the Jabberwock...<br />If lists of names aren't enough to whet your whistle, then please allow me to<br />present you with some visual delights...<br />Here's a little sample for you<br />to savor:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://media2.firstshowing.net/firstshowing/img/alice-in-wonderland-D23-bigshot-img.jpg"><img

Tea Party, Hold the Crumpets<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Happy Friday, everyone!<br />I'm working a charity ghost hunt with the paranormal investigatory<br />team I belong to (<a href="http://rvpri.com/">RVPRI</a>) this evening, but before I<br />run off to get ready I want to<br />post some pics I took<br />at Tuesday's local<br />tea party.<br />It was interesting.<br />A lot of people turned out...and I was able to pop off<br />a few halfway decent shots.<br />I'm also throwing in two shots of<br />a great little office building I found tucked away on<br />a small side street on the way home.<br />Oh, and before I forget, I came across a great website/flickr group/art project<br />a few weeks ago.<br />It's called the Scribble Project and it's the cat's pajamas!<br />The creators post "scribble sheets"<br />that you download, doodle on and then<br />submit to the project...completely simple<br />and completely brilliant.<br />To find out more info you can visit their website:<br /><a href="http://thescribbleprojectclub.tumblr.com/">The Scribble Project Club</a><br />To see examples of what other scribblers<br />have submitted you can take a gander<br />at their <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/thescribbleprojectclub/pool/">flickr group </a>or at their<br /><a href="http://www.thescribbleproject.blogspot.com/">original blog</a>.<br />Ok.<br />blah blah blah.<br />Shutting up now.<br />Have a fantastic weekend!<br />xxx<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/x_xcherrybombx_x/3448219084/" title="Untitled by

Morning Inspiration<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;">After a lovely weekend filled with warm fuzzies,<br />rainy skies & and an ass-kicking game of<br />trivial pursuit I thought it would be nice to let some of the yumminess<br />of this past weekend spill over to this drizzly Monday morning.<br />With that in mind I give you some<br />little snippits of beauty and inspiration that I've encountered.<br />Enjoy.<br /><img src="http://weheartit.com/images/20090316095149.jpg" width="300" height="505" /><br /><img src="http://weheartit.com/images/20090404112333.jpg"
