Way Past Due

This post is long overdue.

Berlzebub has spear-headed an effort to raise money for P-Momma and her family so that they can get some UV film to cover their windows so P-Momma can come out of her room and spend time with her family.

P-Momma has lupus, and as a result has serious sun sensitivity that has gotten worse. My understanding is that her bedroom windows are covered in plywood and black sheets to keep the sun out (contact with the sun causes blistering and severe “bone crushing pain”). This limits the amount of time she can be with her kids.

Berlzebub heard about UV Filtering film that can be put on windows and decided to run a drive for donations so they can get enough for all of P-Momma’s windows. His goal is $5,000 and as of today, he’s up to $3,975.

You can read more about the effort here, and if you’re interested in helping out, you can donate via paypal (berlzebubATgmailDOTcom).

Hope you enjoy these as much as I did… I laughed all the way through the act! (Make sure you watch all three)

My old favorite show is back!

2 Teams.

2 Days.

$1000.

That’s right! Trading Spaces is back, old-school style! Paige Davis is back as the host. And she brought back all of my favorite designers! Frank, Doug, Lauri, and Hildi!

I’m so freaking excited.

The spin on it this time is that it isn’t just neighbors trading spaces. It’s an ex-husband trading spaces with his ex-wife and her new husband. Or an assistant trading spaces with her boss. Or a mother-in-law trading with her son and daughter-in-law.

Yeah.

This is going to be cool.

Benediction

One word.

Wow.

Greeting Cards for the Troops

This is incredibly cool:

GalleryCollection.com, the leading business Christmas card and personalized Christmas card publisher, is pleased to announce a donation of over 280,000 Christmas cards and holiday cards to Soldiers’ Angels.

Soldiers’ Angels, an organization that supports our nation’s military men and women, plans to send a holiday card to every soldier in the combat zones of Iraq and Afghanistan, wishing them well for the 2007 holiday season. Additionally, each soldier will receive a blank card to write home on.

GalleryCollection.com is making this donation in conjunction with Holiday for Heroes, one of the many support programs created by Soldiers’ Angels. Holiday for Heroes aims to reach out to all the men and women deployed overseas with a holiday gift and a personalized message.

A Christmas card may not sound like much – but it is to a soldier who can’t come home for the holidays. This is a great gift from The Gallery Collection for all of the men and women who are serving overseas. It’s not really something I’ve thought much about until this year. A dear friend of mine is spending 15 months away from her husband (with a new baby, no less) because he is in Iraq. Christmas is going to be very hard for both of them. I hope small gestures like a Christmas card can provide at least a small piece of joy for the troops. You can get involved and help by donating to Soldiers’ Angels this holiday season!

The Gallery Collection is a publisher of personalized greeting cards in everything from Assorted Box Sets to Corporate Holiday Cards. You can get all of the Christmas cards you need this holiday season in one place! Need a card for your colleagues? What about your family and friends? The Gallery Collection has everything you need to make sure no one on your Christmas Card list is forgotten this year.
