Amelioration's Third Annual Cry For Help Giveaway!

It’s that time of year!!

The time when I beg for your assistance, but offer goodies in exchange!

Once again, I’m working on a compilation CD for my sisters. And once again, I'm out of ideas.


Usually I start WAY before now (I know, I know…I say that every year). Any of my regular readers know I’ve had a sooo much on my plate!

I could be counting incorrectly, but I believe this is the 10th year of the Christmas CD.

Read more about the beginning of the tradition HERE and HERE.

Here are the rules of song inclusion:

1. The lead/primary singer must be a woman.


2. There is no genre confinement. Country, rock, classical-anything goes as long as it’s a kick ass song.


3. The song must not have been included on previous CDs.


4. Age of song does not matter.


5. Requests are considered, however, they are not a promise of inclusion.


6. Final decision depends on whether or not I enjoy the song. (Not gonna spend money on songs I don’t like-just sayin’)

2003’s Volume One included:

Travelin' Soldier- The Dixie Chicks
Wild Horses- Jewel
The Weakness In Me- Joan Armatrading
Gasoline- Jann Arden
Sonny Came Home- Shawn Colvin
Sleep While I Drive- Melissa Ethridge

Like always, I need your help!

In exchange, one lucky winner will receive a copy of this year’s CD and his or her choice of a ring or pair of earrings from my shop, or I will custom make something for you.
