rms’s Squidiary

I’ve been neglecting my Squidiary because I’ve been so busy at my job as a Giant Squid Organizer looking for, and finding, the next wave of Giant Squid Lensmasters.   Well, that and the fact that my youngest graduated high school last week and I had my mother-in-law fly in for the happy occasion. 

I did have a chance today to build a lens for the Superhero Project at Squidoo.  It’s a tribute to my favorite superheroes, the Giant Squids, and a check point for all the Giant Squid Hopefuls to let them know what we are looking for.   It’s called What makes a Giant Squid Lensmaster a Superhero and I hope you’ll check it out.

I also finally got around to updating Cabaret Squidoo with a fabulous recipe lens that features the best peach cobbler recipe and also my namesake lens, Robin.

I promise to try harder to keep my squidiary up to date in the future!

Yesterday was a busy busy day for me but I made sure that I got a quick post up about Squidtop at the Giant Squid Community Showcase.  I really love this place and I think it’s a great opportunity for all lensmasters, especially the Giant Squids.

And why was I so busy yesterday?  Believe it or not, I started yet another blog.  To be honest, this one should have been my first.  I have so many gardening articles from my days at Garden and Hearth that I can’t believe I didn’t think of doing this a lot sooner.  Some of those articles have already been turned into lenses but others were just laying around gathering dust so I decided to make a new home for them at  Fresh From Your Garden.  I’m not thrilled with the layout yet and I’ll probably end up changing the theme but please take a look and let me know what you think of the place so far.

I also added a post to Cabaret Squidoo.  This one is about my zucchini recipes lens.

I finished the lens about my great night at the Duran Duran concert.

As I was browsing AOL yesterday I came across an article about Oprah starting a new diet and I thought to myself, Who really cares?  Well, if you know me well enough by now you know that whenever I get a funny idea like that, I feel compelled to make a lens about it.  This one seemed perfect for the Hey Monkeybrain co-brand and so What Won’t Oprah Eat was born.

There are also two new posts at the Giant Squid Community Showcase that you should see.  One explores different ways of using the Write/Text module and the other presents this week’s winner in the Choose Your Favorite Giant Squid Lens competition.

And last but not least if you like pancakes and waffles, you need to visit Cabaret Squidoo because I’ve got a real treat for you there!

I truly appreciate being given this chance to keep a journal of my Squidooings here at Squidtop!

rms’s Squidiary will be the place where I post all Squidnews about my lenses and blogs, including updates at The Giant Squid Community Showcase (where your  Giant Squid Community Organizers, bdkz, GypsyPirate, and I,  feature the lenses made exclusively by Squidoo’s Giant Squids) and Cabaret Squidoo where I feature my favorite Squidoo recipe lenses.

Yesterday’s post at Cabaret Squidoo, Perfect Party Dips and Appetizer Recipes, featured a couple of lenses designed to help you get your next party off to a great start. 

And my post at the Giant Squid Community Showcase, Giant Lensography Lenses, featured JaguarJulie’s tremendous lensography.

I’ll be back tomorrow with more!
