I love music, totally wrapped up in all kinds of music in every moment of my day, and when I meet new friends and hear what they are listening to, I feel like my collection of artists tends to expand, curious what everyone else listens to? Could we make that into some sort of a project, share your favourites of all time in kind of a complation of sorts? Burn to disk or card and share? ?

AND while I like the idea of sharing of music I would imagine CD's OR even SD cards would prove expensive postage wise, esp. on CD's and SD cards to purchase them ? Anyone else?

My vote is ATC's....cause I am so excited to get going again!

Thanks for some amazing suggestions Breathless!!!!!

Breathless, thanks for all your great ideas. I always enjoy valentine themes whether it is Card otherwise. I am also a fan of ATC's. I am less interested in burning a CD.

I do like the idea of making a mixtape (on CD) for everyone, although I think I would like a little more flexibility than just my favorites of all time. I really used to enjoy making those for people, and it's been a long time since I did one, but I always made them around a theme. It was fun making the covers for the jewel boxes too, although I think including the jewel boxes for an exchange would be really bulky and problematic - they often seem to get broken in the mail. There's no reason we couldn't still include the covers, though.

You don't get them. You make them.



My vote is yes to a music themed project but NOT for exchanging cds/dvds/sim cards/memory sticks/etc.

I love the ATCs that we've done in the past and look forward to more. Inchies would be great and I'd be up for giving the micros a try as long as no one expects much (not just because it won't fit but because...as I mentioned...I have fat fingers and they get in the way).

It's too late for a Valentine Day project but maybe someone might be willing to carry the theme over.

Any word on the remaining secrets, nyc?

Now that the secrets are out in the mail, is anyone still up for this? I love the idea of ATCs and I'm willing to give micros a try and I think Besame's idea of a series is super fantastic and would really pull the pieces together.

It seems like we came to a semi-consensus of music or love or a combination of the two and it seems like we have enough people interested to do a decent-sized group.

Breathless originally started the idea based on a music exchange and I'm not sure if she'd like to or would be able to wrangle this, but if not I would be excited and honored to do the wrangling on this one if everyone agrees. This is close to my heart (no pun intended!). It could be Valentine's Day inspired but not necessarily V Day themed.

I think it would be fun to leave it up to the participants whether they did a series of micros (.5 x .5), minis (1 x 1), standard (2.5 x 3.5) or a combination of any of them. I would leave it up to the group to vote on a series of three or a series of four. Any more than that would be cumbersome, I think.

I'm just throwing this out there because I was cruising pintrest tonight while watching The Bachelor (semi-gag) and feel the <3 in the air. If we do this, it would be a quick project and the postdate to drop the finished project would be the 29th of February. It's a leap year, so let's leap into a new project!



What do you all think? Breathless? Besame? Jen? CCB? Clay? Georgia? Orema?

Whataya think? Whataya think? Whataya think?
