The Christmas Gift Project Links
- Tom Prasada-Rao
- The website for the producer of The Christmas Gift. Be prepared to be blown away by all of his talent. You can check out his own music and the duo Dreamsicles, with his wife Cary Cooper.
- Wolf Mastering
- Mastering is the final touch on a cd project...the final set of ears to make sure that everything sounds a.o.k. Bill Wolf is one of the best.
- Klundt Hosmer Graphic Design
- The graphic designers of the cd packaging. I love how pretty it all turned out. I feel pretty, I feel pretty...la, la, la. Nicely done, Rick!
- Bill Kahler
- His sax solos simply make me swoon. I have listened to his part on I'll Be Home For Christmas so many times it's ridiculous. Play, rewind. Play, rewind. He also contributed to Winter Wonderland and Santa Baby.
- Dirje Smith
- Dirje is the lovely cellist on Ave Maria (which sounds just like prayer on it's own) as well as Angels We Have Heard On High. She was the one musician that I didn't get to meet in person, but hope to someday!
- Cary Cooper
- Cary is the background voice on Winter Wonderland. She is a fabulous singer/songwriter and I have worn out her cd "Yellow".
- Sarah Sample
- Sarah is The background voice on Do You Hear What I Hear. She's also the winner of the 2007 Rocky Mountain Folks Festival. A beautiful songwriter and a beautiful spirit. You'll be glad you checked out her music!
- Follger Photography
- Nick Follger is my hero! He combined my great hair day with my great makeup day and took some great photos. Thanks Nick!
- The Makeup Studio
- It takes a village, people, and this was one of the villagers who did the makeup for The Christmas Gift. Julie Farley rocks as Spokane's best makeup artist.
- Zi Spa
- This was my best hair day...EVER! Thanks to Zi Spa's Nathalie Fernimen.
- Simply Northwest
- This is the boutique gift basket company that chose The Christmas Gift to be a featured cd in their 2008 holiday gift baskets! If you ever need to send an exquisitely packaged gift, this is the company to use!

- Some of us need a little more help than others to pull it together for a photo shoot. Julie's business saved the day!
