i finally finished up my playlist for the mixtape swap and am shipping them out today! i had a lot fun putting it together and can't wait to receive mine from my partners. after much turmoil i finally settled on a sun design for the cover. i'm very pleased with how it turned out but more importantly hope you ladies enjoy what is on the inside. i think for my next one i will have a theme so get ready because in a couple of months it will "summer" mixtape swap time!
myself and the kids have each taken turns being sick :( it was bad. i pretty much laid in bed or on the couch for a solid week. thankfully we're all feeling better and ready to get on with our lives and get the heck outside! i tried to make the most of all my indoor time though and cleaned out my closet and all the kid's closets. i took some stuff the goodwill, gave a big bag to my neighbors and saved some for a clothes swap that i want to organize. has anyone participated in a clothes swap before? did you like it? what made it successful? i thought it would be fun to have wine/beer and hors d'oeuvres and of course all the clothes and chat it up with some gals. we'll see if i can pull it together and even find enough people interested in coming.
what else can i tell ya? i've had major success with eating raw! i decided to go longer than just january and have extended my raw journey through the sacrificial season of Lent. i've learned quite a bit about myself and my eating habits and such but i think i will have to save all that for a post of it's own if anyone is interested :D
i hope you all are staying well!

love the idea of a clothing swap! good for you on the raw diet! i try bits a pieces of it through my day...but not completely raw. it would have been a good lenten penance for me.
ReplyDeleteTrust me, it'll be a huge penance for me as well :)
DeleteMix Tape Swap! Makes me feel 16 again, which is a good thing. Mine is almost ready to go out. Hey, I'll be interested to read your raw food journey. Do you collect recipes off the web or do you have a book?
ReplyDeleteI have several books but have found most of my favorite recipes online. And since you're interested teeny, I'll go ahead and write about it :)
DeleteYay! Please do! I'm so curious and need some food inspiration!
Deletei would love to read about your raw experience too!
ReplyDeleteok, so i just breathed a sigh of relief to see that your mixtapes are...cd's. i shit you not, i have been fretting about how to record a cassette off of my computer...like "if i plug it into my stereo, will that work?". and was feeling guilty that my tape might have to be on disc. now that i know, teeny better watch out...she might get my whole music collection.
the sickensses going around this year have been brutal. a friend of mine named the flu virus "assface". we haven't gotten that yet, but we've gone through several colds. i'm glad to hear you're better! xoxxo
p.s. your sun is SO perfect. i love your drawing style.
DeleteOhmygoshit'ssoperfect!! You've definitely upped the ante. I'll try to come up with something as stunning for y'all.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, please do tell us about your walk through the raw territory. I love hearing about others' food journeys.

Wow, that cd cover is magical. I wish I knew how to draw. I'm super excited to hear more about your raw diet. I've experimented with raw foods before, BUT never really thrown myself into it. After my recent fast I might tho. Tell us all about it. We have clothing swaps here pretty regularly and they're so fun (alhtough I don't always go because, I really don't need new clothes; ) we empty all our bags in a pile and cover it with a sheet and then bounce people on the sheet before we uncover the whole thing and dig in. So fun! Love ya.
ReplyDeleteum, that sounds FUN ^^^
Deletelove that cover - sun suits it perfectly I think.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm interested in your raw foods journey too! Spill it :)
i received my mix tape from katie today (it's great!)and mailed mine out to her yesterday.
ReplyDeleteOh, so sorry you have been sick! We are working through that as well. The boys literally slept all day Sat and Sun, then of course began to feel better as soon as I started coming down with it!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a music swap and a clothing swap. Though I've never been to one, it does sound like so much fun (especially if you have fashionable friends... which you do!). Also? I would love to hear about your journey with eating raw. I don't do it but notice that I feel so much better if I have had more raw foods for a couple of days. But maybe that is just because I'm not eating the crap that would take its place too!
The sun is awesome!!! And what's up skinny??! :) Lookin good! I'm in for the clothing swap, have a playlist made and need to art it up :D Soon! Soon!
ReplyDeleteI'd love the raw brownie recipe! And the kale salad one too... please :D
Hey! It's here! idlelovewild.blogspot.com. <---- I even posted a picture of it. the fruits of your collaborative labor are soon to be enjoyed! xo THANK YOU! xo
ReplyDeleteps: I enjoy raw food stories as well. :)
