Thanks!  That collection needs to come with a radar detector
 
And I firmly believe that under most circumstances mixes should be made with songs in the mixer's personal collection.

EDIT: Oh, and thanks Lilykins and Meowie. Once I came up with the theme, the rest was easy... well, except for narrowing down the songs. Even getting it trimmed down for TWO CDs was tough!

I was actually heading to the gift swap thread to see if you'd posted the play list yet.  I see it here but can't quite read it - do you have it easily accessible?

HILARIOUS!!! love it!

Okay, now that Beezy has posted her receipt of my gift in the Gift Swap forum, I figured I'd share the liner notes, etc. from the CDs I made her here for my fellow Mix-a-holics to take a gander at:
 

 

 
 
 
Pay no mind to the kerning between the U and R in "YOUR" on the label. No control over how it appeared in my label printing software template.

That's weird cause the PO here sells those envelopes specifically for shipping CDs. They say CD right on them. What do US customs think I'm sending you? 8 hours worth of call to prayer?

It was in a fat padded envelope, and that's what I think set off the contraband detectors.  (the dogs)

Welly sent me a CD a few months back and it had customs forms all over it, plus a blood sample where the Mounties must've taken some DNA.

Really? Because it's in a padded envelope? I just licked a stamp and sent mine, got there fine.

Payback for your "Sorries" collection.  You and Jimi and Gurly and Rose and Welly.  Got lots of favors to repay; ended up sending out ten.

Great to hear that folks are receiving them.  As for our north-of-the-border brethren (Phin and Welly), I have to go back to the PO today and complete some customs forms which weren't done the first time around so your CDs are *ahem* a little delayed.

Woohoo! I got a Zep CD!
 
Am I in a different pod now? Pod. Ha ha get it?

  Thanks so much Zep - Like I will EVER get this disc out of the clutches of CoffeeGirl! 

Seriously - we listened to it on the way to a family holiday party Saturday.  Really awesome stuff!  And the disc label is priceless!  (The sample goes to CG for her purse - emergency reserve    )

That is all.

Wow Zep    Too cool! I continue to be amazed by the quality of schtuff you peeps are sending out.  The packaging is beautiful.  Can't wait to listen :-)

I gave up caffeine a few years ago, but I did love coffee.  Still love the smell of it...  The only thing that would have made the package better was if it were scratch-N-sniff.  The coffee sample was a nice touch!

I found the cd's from SeanESean & Meower when I got home tonight!  Thank you both!
