Make HIM a "Mix Tape" for your Valentine's Day...(DIY Gift!)



Remember making "mix tapes"?  Make a mix of your favorite love songs for your Valentine.  I know my heart would melt if I received one of these!
You could pick up some tapes although your Valentine probably would not have a cassette player in their car so you might want to opt to record a CD. :)
You can find recordable CDs at many stores including Best Buy, Target, Walgreens, Walmart...a lot.
I am hoping you have a CD drive in your computer and a music downloading account, I use iTunes.  It is a free download and you don't need an iPod to use it.  You could also use other programs, check Amazon, that is where these song links are from...

A mix will mean more because you are taking the time to find the songs and create the CD, it is much more personal than just a CD all from the same artist...here are a few suggestions...


Baby, I'm Yours (Single/LP Version) .99
Can't Help Falling In Love $8.99 (you have to get whole album)
Here are the My City Mommy Team favorites...
Ann's Favorite It's Your Love (with Faith Hill)
.69 (It was their wedding dance song)

Betsy's Favorite (Too Many, a lot are listed above.)
Our wedding dance song was...In Your Eyes.99

 STL Mommy
Crazy Love .99
Wonderful Tonight .99
The Lady In Red .99
I Won't Give Up .99

My Arkansas Mommy
Hard To Concentrate .99

My CNY Mommy
Don't Know Much (feat. Aaron Neville) .99
When You Kiss Me .99
Bless The Broken Road .99

West Michigan Mommy
Secret .99

My Vegas Mommy
You Had Me From Hello $1.29

To decorate your CD you should title it something romantic and use permanent markers.  You could create your own cover art if you bought the CD with individual covers (I always just get a spindle of CDs.).  Now on 2/13 night pop the CD in your Valentine's car in the CD player and make sure it is set to play or just leave it on their seat!


Thank you for your favorite songs My Vegas Mommy, West Michigan Mommy, My Arkansas Mommy , My CNY Mommy, and STL Mommy!

Product Review - Scotch Blue Painters Tape

I recently turned an extra bedroom we have into an office, a process I will be writing about in a couple days.  As part of the makeover I painted the walls a new color, meaning I had to use some painters tape in order to keep the paint from going where I didn't want it to go.


I enjoy the end result of a freshly painted room, it always looks so fresh and clean.  The part that I don't enjoy is taping off all the edges of the room, mainly because it is so time consuming.  So I figure if I am going to take a lot of time taping, then I want to make sure that the effort was worth it, and Scotch Blue Painter's Tape with Edge Lock is the product that I have found that makes sure my time wasn't wasted.

I taped off the ceiling and around the door frame and baseboards.


I also added a smaller piece of tape on the adjacent wall to show how the tape can protect the paint from getting through.


The tape is easy to tear to whatever length you need.  I usually use pieces between 12-18 inches in length, making sure to overlap them so when you pull the tape off, it will come off in one long string.

I used a brush to paint around the edges where I had taped.  The tape comes in various widths, the one I used was 1.5 inches wide.  I like using the rolls that are wider because it gives you more room for user error when you are painting, I always seem to have an errant brush stroke or two.


I also made sure to paint over the piece of tape I put on the adjacent wall.


After I finished with the entire wall, two coats in all, I pulled the tape off.  I put the two coats on in one day and removed the tape the next, it came off just fine, peeling right off the wall.  The tape kept the paint where it was supposed to go, and the edge lock made sure that there was no seepage.


Here is a close up of where I had put the tape on the adjacent wall.


I have always used Scotch Blue Painter's Tape when painting and will continue to do so in the future, using it makes sure that the time I spend taping is not wasted.  Keep it in mind the next time you take brush or roller in hand to change the look of your house.

Thanks for reading.

-Mr. Betsy
