My sister Megan has been such an incredible sister to me. She really is my best friend. We call each other, “ma soeur” which means “my sister” in French because we took a French class together in high school and completely goofed off. It kind of stuck. Megan has been with me through thick and thin and has been part of the backbone of Mamma Made. She is an incredibly gifted designer and brings forth so many amazing designs for Mamma Made. She and her husband Jed have written a beautiful Christmas song I’d like to share...

As we are all getting ready for the holidays, I would like to invite you to visit the Sounds Familyre Blog where friends and family are posting a new Christmas song each day (original or classic) available for free download. You can even download and print out the artwork for your own “A Familyre Christmas - Volume 2." In case you missed last year’s “A Familyre Christmas - Volume 1” album, you can still go and download it with the artwork for free. How’s that for Christmas spirit? And now I will leave you with “Hush, Sweet...

Well, it's been a very exciting week for Daniel and all the Sounds Familyre artists with the song releases from the first Sounds Familyre Christmas Album. Each day Daniel works on mixing the song that will be released at midnight. Tomorrow is the very last night with Elin finishing off the album with her amazingly angelic and hauntingly beautiful voice. I can't tell you yet what song she is singing-- it just wouldn't be right to spoil the surprise. Here are some photos from our evening listening to Joshua Stamper's song which has just been released tonight and Elin's song....

So I missed a couple of days! I have a good excuse--traveling to San Francisco and then on to New Jersey for the holidays. We need to catch up with Day 7- Sufjan Stevens presents "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," Day 8- Rachel and Jon Galaxy(that's me!) present "What Child Is This," and Day 9 - Woven Hand presents,"I Wonder as I Wander." Just wait until you hear the next three days. I got a sneak preview in the basement today of what's to come, and believe me, it's amazing.
It's crazy how this album is really turning into something pretty...

Day 6 already! Go and listen to Dan Zimmerman's beautiful and cozy Christmas song entitled, "In the Bleak Mid-Winter." Jon and I officially passed the torch to Daniel to work his magic on our Christmas Carol, "What Child Is This." I can't wait to hear what he does in the mixing process! Love, Rachel

Oh my goodness! Day 5 already! Check out the original Christmas song posted by Leopulde entitled, "Pat-A-Pan." So last night was the big night for Jon and I in regards to our Christmas song ("What Child Is This"). The pressure is on--we have three days until we fly to San Francisco and Josh needs the song so that Daniel can mix it down. We borrowed Glen's keyboard and took his incredible suggestion to use the Wurlitzer. When Jon started playing, I just knew it was perfect. So, Jon laid down the keyboards, fixed some bass parts,...

Today is the day that Soul Junk (my brother-in-law Glen) shares his wonderful song, "Dayspring from on High," which celebrates the birth of Christ. Go to the Sounds Familyre blog yet once again and get your fix on amazingly special and unique holiday treasures. Jon and I are still plugging away on our Christmas song. I think we are going to try and finish it up tonight. I talked to Elin on the phone today and got the scoop on what song she's doing because I was afraid I was the only one doing a Christmas carol and not...
