100 Lenses Published on Squidoo

Finally, I finished my goal for the Giant 100 Club requirements. The club, which only Giant Squid can only apply is for those Giants that have published 100 or more quality lenses. Since I heard about the Giant Squid program I knew I had to work hard to be able to get elected as a Giant in Squidoo. Last June 2009, I received the good news that I was chosen to be one of the new Giant Squids. I was so excited and happy! By then, I only had 54 lenses published.

Rajays, who is like a mentor to me, always believed in me and assured me that I had potential for the Giant 100 Club that was coming up this October 2009. I remember thinking: "Wow, 100 lenses by Sep. 30 2009, that's more than 35 lenses to go". But regardless of the obvious hard work ahead of me, I knew I could do it! I knew that I could get 100 lenses done by Sep.30 2009.

I finished my lens #100 on the night of Sep. 29, 2009, just hours from the deadline! Uff, what a relief! Come and check out my #100, a SquidBoo lens, perfect timing!

My lens #100 is Halloween in Salem, MA

I send my application for the Giant 100 Club on Sep.30, 2009 and now I just wait and see what happens. Even if I don't get selected to the Giant 100 Club, I still feel like I accomplished something! I mean 100 published lenses is not that easy to maintain and update, but it's very possible. After the 100th lens, I kept making more lenses. Since then I have one more published and 4 other in construction, coming soon!

Here is the other SquidBoo lens that I made last night: Halloween Cupcake Ideas

I will let you guys know if I made the Giant 100 Club! Wish me luck...

SquidBoo: Halloween Gingerbread Haunted Mansions

October is on the way and I'm getting ready writing my SquidBoo lenses. I have written many SquidBoo lenses, but my latest is Halloween Gingerbread Haunted Mansion. One of the things I always make with my kids during Halloween is the Haunted Mansion!





I always get the pre-baked Halloween House at my local grocery store during Halloween time. My kids love to decorate their Halloween Houses, using different color icing, specially orange, black, green and purple. Candies and other sweets can be added. Use your imagination and creativity.

If you are planning a Halloween Costume Party this year, don't forget your Halloween Haunted Mansion. You can even make the kids at the party to make their own houses and vote for the best decoration. If you want more information on how to make your Gingerbread Halloween Mansion or any Halloween tips go to:


The Dragon Shop Squidoo Lens

I recently made a lens on Dragons. The lens is focused on Dragon Candle Holders and Oil Burners. I love dragons, love their myths and stories. They are magical creatures and they sure make a great addition to any home decor or as a gift.










I created the Dragon Candle Holders and Oil Burners lens to feature my favorite dragon items. Come and visit my lens when you have a time and remember to rate!


Thanks, Have an excellent day!
