Going Home Book Review
April 20, 2010 | Leave a Comment
I’ve reviewed young adults books in the past and some of my own favorite childhood books but this is my first requested children’s book review. Going Home is a simple creative non-fiction book about the migration of ten interesting and varied animals for children aged 4 to 8. You can read the full review at [...]

The Fatgirl’s Closet
April 14, 2010 | Leave a Comment
This last week has been really busy as I started a new venture with Squidoo — a club for plus size fashion bloggers called The Fatgirl’s Closet. My immediate goal is to build a top 100 directory of fashion bloggers. My long term goal is to create a club where these bloggers can network with [...]

Leaving Blessings

I’ve always wanted to be an angel. A SquidAngel that is. Today I started my position as a SquidAngel at Squidoo. It’s a volunteer position where I travel through the guts of Squidoo rewarding worth seeing with a love “bump”. In true Giant Squid fashion I have created a lens that will document my angel [...]

The Write Prompts Gets Purple
March 11, 2010 | Leave a Comment
Today I received an email announcing that The Write Prompts lens received a purple star. Of all the 200+ lenses this is probably one that I am most proud of. The Write Prompts is my first lens, originally developed by another writer who turned it over to me. From the day it became mine over [...]

Curvy Chics Gets Purple Star
March 4, 2010 | Leave a Comment
Ever since the Purple Star was instituted at Squidoo I’ve been hoping that my Curvy Chics lens would get picked. Today the wish came true! The Curvy Chics lens is kind of an index for other lenses. It gives brief intros on some of my favorite curvy chics and then leads readers to larger lenses [...]

Double Stars

Two of my older lenses were awarded purple stars this week. The first is kind of a strange lens. I can’t remember why I made it in the first place and it wasn’t incredibly popular until the beginning of this year. I’m talking about the Megan Fox Tattoo lens. It’s a basic lens with very [...]

Fourth Purple Star
June 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Last night when I was busy working on my third lens for my Squidoo Summer Course it never occurred to me that it would be rewarded a purple star so quickly (or at all really). I woke up this morning and there was a message in my inbox that it was purplized. This is my [...]

Third Purple Star
June 9, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Earlier this year I succumbed to peer pressure and bought the four books in the Twilight book series. Within a few weeks I had devoured them and now consider myself a convert. As far as I’m concerned Stephenie Meyers rocks. When I was done I decided to make a Squidoo lens reviewing each book followed [...]

Second Purple Star
May 16, 2009 | 1 Comment
The Squidoo Team awarded me a second purple star this past week. This time it was for my lens that followed my Lasik eye surgery experience from start to finish. I’m so glad I decided to start this lens before I even went under the laser. Reading over it now, I wrote things I never [...]

A Purple Star
April 17, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Over at Squidoo they have instituted a purple star award for exceptional lenses from Giant Squid lensmakers. They describe lenses given a purple star as “one of the most remarkable pages on the entire site”. Being awarded a purple star increases the rank of the lens as well as the visitors. But of course the [...]
