Remedy

A colleague (and neighbor) of mine put together a great CD exchange extravaganza. Thirty people each made one CD of their favorite songs, or just a remix, and made thirty copies to distribute to all the people participating. I loved this idea, so of course I was on it! Since the invention of MP3 players my CD player in my car has felt extremely lonely and excluded. I'm excited to finally put that bad boy back into use. Thirty CDs of good music will certainly get me through LOTS of holiday traveling! 

In addition to some good jams we could also decorate our CDs and possibly be given top accolades in a multitude of categories! I'll let you know if I win any!

I thought I'd share with you some pictures of my CD Exchange contribution. My CD was the theme of Remedy - featuring mostly somber songs that might lead you through a relaxing evening (I believe though there were a few outcast tunes that I threw in just because I like them and I want everyone else to like them as well). I wrapped them in brown kraft paper, tied with twine with apothecary labels - because who doesn't like a brown paper package tied up with string.
