#1 Content Winner: Asante Africa Foundation

Squidoo'rs are a big charitable bunch! We LOVE worthy causes, and effective programs, and we are all worried about Africa.

timefortravel has brought us a fabulous lens discussing specific things that the Assante Africa Foundation is doing to bring tangible help and education to families and children in Kenya.

Kim give us a clear picture of the situation that her friends found, the difference they are making, great info about fundraisers and all the details of how you can help and what your donation would accompish.

Kim is an extremely talented lensmaster and has convinced us of the importance of helping the Asante Africa Foundation, but other programs like it.

Congratulations on a truly wonderful lens, Kim!

#2 Content Winner in May: Tofu!

We know that this terrific lens won a big, fat LOTD award, and NO WONDER! Peter Trivelas has used all his years of experience to make this lens and it shows.

Tofu has a LOT of fans at Squidoo, both the food and the lens. He's give terrific recipes that are attractive to even the most suspicious tofu eaters in the world. The pics are fabulous and a chance to get his dvd, everything works to the advantage of the visitor!

This one is certain to build a larger and larger fan base and I can see more dvds and a few recipe books in Peter & Maribeth's future! Congrats on a winner of a lens!

#3 May Content Winner: Block Buster! British Glam Rock of the 70s

WELLLLLL....

Just when I was comfortable with the idea that I could understand Brits and the differences between us, along comes JustBon_Crochet_Design with a BIG surprise.

Our Third Place Content Winner for May is: Block Buster! British Glam Rock of the 70s

Being that Alice Cooper is one of my 'home town' boys, I NEVER thought of him as 'British Glam'!!! David Bowie, ok -a GREAT- but an androgynous British guy wasn't, well, too surprising. But Alice Cooper????

The Alice Cooper I KNOW???

I don't care how many silk purses or earrings you put on HIS ear, he'll never be anything but a gritty Detroit hometown guy. We understood what he was up to and why. He's just 'one of ours' doing his thing- a neighborhood guy makin' music like so many other area biggies. We dearly love him, he's one of the best human beings you could ever meet, but BRITISH GLAM???

Looking back, I can kind of see her point....how they adopted him.

But, but, B-R-I-T-I-S-H Glam... Motown 'glam'if dead chickens, straight jackets & safety pins are glam.

So, now that I've recovered from a few fried brain synapses, congratulations on a great(and for me, memorable)lens.

I can't wait to see what you make of another 'hometown talent'- Madonna!

#1 Commerce Winner: Food for Your Health and Beauty - Mind and Spirit

This is a use of the commerce lens that we LOVE to see: an expert, surfsusan, showing, explaining and offering her small business to you.

Our #1 Commerce lens in May 2007 is Food for Your Health and Beauty - Mind and Spirit

This is a really nice general lens for any small business person to model their own lens after.

Instead of a 'diet' which everyone hates, Susanne talks about 'optimizing your health' and gives us a good overview of what she has to offer.

Lots of great resources on this page, and encouragement to look and feel better.

Congratulations, Susanne, for a very well done business professional lens!

#2 Commerce: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Book 7

thefluffanutta is a valued member of Squidoo and has mastered so many great techniques that is isn't a wonder that he turns out fabulous lenses!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Book 7 was a very tough act to follow this month of May!

His introduction picture is of the UK version of this yet-to-be-released book, and his commerce modules are clear, descriptive and beautiful.

He provides LOADS of information for Harry Potter fans, including very fun "Potter Puppet Pals" vids from YouTube. There is a wonderful article by Kathleen Falkner.

Fluff has a terrific roster of useful lenses for any lensmaster. I recommend you check those out, too!

#3 Commerce: Bolivian Coca Tea - Mate de Coca

GkyGrl points out something most of us didn't even know about: coca as tea!

In May this is our third place commerce lens:
Bolivian Coca Tea- Mate de Coca.

And, just in case we are as ignorant of the product as we are, she fills us in with all the relevant details, the benefits of that tea, and she clears up the difference between cocoa, which we all know and love, and coca, which is an entirely different plant altogether.

Gkygrl is a terrific lensmaster with a growing roster of interesting lenses under her belt.
