Because not all of my posts are rants ;)

My mom (her Vox here or LJ here) took part in Collage Mania (her suns are on page 15 but are claimed already).  Had I realized this earlier I'd have posted earlier but I'm *cough* stealing her infor about it so you guys know about it in case interested.  It's going right now! 235 collages are available today for a minimum donation of $80 to the American Cancer Society through Fiberart For A Cause. If that is too rich for your wallet, the ones remaining tomorrow go for $40 each. Help FFAC and Virginia Spiegel meet and exceed her goal of raising $30,000 for the American Cancer Society and add to the more that $150,000 already donated.

Also, I haven't really talked about it here, because I've primarily been using it on other blogs, but I joined SocialSpark (a blog for money site).  You know, pick an opportunity you're interesting in and qualified for, write a post, get paid.   And yeah, it works, I made a little money last month.  Well it's a little different than some sites like that, in that it's also a community and has some blog back opportunities.  I of course had to check the charity channel.  And found a woman who now blogs about her daughter that was recently diagnosed with MS.  Selected Visions, reminds me of my mom shortly after we found out we found I'd had it with her posts like the one about Vitamin D in MS.  Of course my poor mom then had to counter-research Vitamin D with Sarcoid too.  But I know there's more than a few with MS who read this on the LJ crosspost, so if you have any kind words you can offer her or just want to add another MS blogger to your feeds, go check her out.
