Holiday Gift Ideas From Friends of The Creative Mixx

We're 5 days into the month of December and I've already started to decorate my home for the Holidays.  I bought a "live" tree on Monday night (love the smell of pine), decorated it last night and now I'm ready to make a Christmas shopping list.  

I planned on scouring the web for gift ideas and realized something....

I have a lot of friends who are in the business of selling something (either jewelry, clothing, home decor items, photography services, knitted items, pet products, etc.)!!!

With so much talent within my circle of friends, I decided that it would be a great idea to post  the first annual 

         "HOLIDAY GIFT IDEAS FROM FRIENDS OF THE CREATIVE MIXX"

Here's a photo of the shoes that he did for the S.W.A.P. Team - Calgary Chapter. These are hott!

I've Got So Much To Share - Part 1

Hello everyone! I apologize for my lack in posting, but I've been busy as a bee organzing and attending various events around Calgary. I've missed writing and updating y'all on the "regular" so I'm super excited to share what I've been up to. I'll be posting a series of updates over the next few days and will end my recap with a long awaited "Blogger Spotlight" that I've had prepared ages ago. For those who have followed me for a while, know that I'm the Calgary Chapter Director for The S.W.A.P. Team who organizes a clothing swap in my city called "Take Off Your Clothes" twice a year. It's become quite a popular event:)

Here's a video interview that Vanessa and I did with Mount Royal University student Laura Lushington about clothing swaps:)



Our next event is on Sunday June 12th at Soho Bar & Grill from 11:00 - 5:00pm (Admission is 8.00)

So, the Calgary team put on an amazing photo shoot to help promote the event. We've been lucky again to collaborate with some local designers/boutiques this season who supported us by donating fabulous items that will be raffled off at the Spring 2011 event. Our designer & boutique sponsors play a huge role in helping this community event to be a fashionable one. To thank them, we offer exposure through our promotional shoot and social media marketing strategies. Here's a look at some of my favourite shots.......
