On its way!

If you pre ordered issue 2 of Mixtape then your copy is on its way to you. Since Saturday we've been printing, collating, stapling, sticking and stamping and finally the last of the pre orders will be posted out in the morning.
We hope you like it :)

We're in this issue of Frankie magazine. Woohoo!
We'll also be mentioned in the A2 pullout of The Age this coming Saturday for all you Melbournites.

the countdown is on

Issue two is going to our proofreader (much respect Kate!) on Friday and when we get it back early next week and make the changes we will then print it!!
We have a few little helpers coming to my place next Saturday night to help stuff envelopes, lick stamps, stamp our logo, check of names and whatever else needs to be done to get issue 2 out to all you patient people asap. Nic will make her famous homemade pizza and I will provide an endless bowl of lollies!! and maybe even throw in a crafty gift.
Big thanks in advance to you lovely ladies:
Steph, Martine, Kirsten and Cath
We will have a bit of press in the next couple of weeks in Frankie and A2 woo hoo!!

Magnetic Mixtape!

Those of you lucky enough to have nabbed one of the 30 special editions of issue two will find one of these cute little magnets inside your package. We called into Sticky last week to make these, they're addictive! We want our own little button maker, maybe that could be our next big purchase!?

aren't we fancy then?

We purchased a laser jet printer last week so we can print our zine from home. Issue 1 was photocopied, but all issues from now on will be printed on our laser jet. That means the quality has improved 100% YAY!!
Issue 2 is being put together as I write and we aim to have it to the proofreader next week and after we have the go ahead we will print and post it. We can now reprint issue 1, so if you missed out go to the shop and pick yourself up a copy!!

---------------------------
I got myself a signed! copy of this book "SORTED!"
This lady knows the way to my heart, it is a beautifully layed out and simple to read book. I am an organising junkie and this book will be kept only arms length from the mixtape desk.
One of Lissanne's tips which i love is the four Fs:
finish it
forward it
file it
and
flick it
Taking a little time out to be organized saves a lot of time in the long run.
