Over Memorial Day weekend we were eating outside on our deck and I was trying to figure out what music I should put on the stereo. What I really wanted was a summer music mix so after dinner I attempted to create one. Hmmm, easier said than done. Talk about an overwhelming task. So in a moment of inspiration I thought, what if I had my friends help? So here it is, a summer music mix created by a bunch of crafty girls.

With the loss of mixwit I don’t think there is a (legal) way for me to post the actual music but I encourage you to check out some of the bands/songs you haven’t heard of before. I love this mellow mix, just perfect for sitting on a picnic blanket or a day at the beach. Thanks go to : Alicia, Amanda Jean, Anina, Blair, Emily, Eren, Erin, Hannah, Kathy, Melissa, Melissa, Molly, Morgan, Rachel, Sarah, and Stefani.

I am a “newbie” to these wonderful blogging sites. How can I get a copy of the music??
