I’ve feeling strangely overwhelmed… what do you guys do to get yourself back on track?

A Sweet Christmas

The last week I spent time preparing the following sweet lenses, just in time for Christmas:

Enjoy!

Blended Matcha

biggirlblue — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 20:56:30 +0000

I have updated my Blended Matcha lens with photos, and links to other matcha related recipes.

I was surprised at how long it took me to update this lens today but now it’s done and I feel better having completed it.

Have a great November 1st everyone!

I’ve created a new Squidoo Who lens for author Robin Kaye, she has a new book coming out in November and wants everyone to know. Visit the Robin Kaye Who lens.

Looking for a writing prompt? Look no further than The Write Prompts lens for your weekly dose of word, sentence and visual prompts. As well as a great selection of prompt/writing related books.

I discovered a great lens I’d like to recommend. It was created by Caseyfern and is about Warrior Women. Visit the Warrior Women lens and show it some loving.

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Top 100 Update

biggirlblue — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 18:35:19 +0000

It’s been a great week. I never thought I’d have a lens make the Top 100 let alone two. My plus size halloween lens and the write prompts lens were neck and neck around the 60 mark for a few days. The costume lens fell from grace today at 110 but the writing lens is hanging in there at 59. I suspect once I do the updates today that it will have a surge by tomorrow.

It’s been a good week. Thank you to everyone for your support and encouragement!

(Update: A lovely angel visited my write prompt lens and left a blessing.)

Cool Drinks, Words and Blondes

biggirlblue — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 21:46:12 +0000

I still have to add the photos to this Blended Matcha lens but it is off to a good start. If you are into green tea you’ll have to give the recipe a try.

I added another blogging meme to my base blogging meme lens. It’s a 30 question - one word answer meme that gives a lot of information in a short amount of time. I’ve called it One Word Meme. I know original isn’t it.

And my final addition is a review of a book by Joanna Pitman called On Blondes.

Hope the Canadians out there are having a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Plus Size Witches and Pirates

biggirlblue — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 15:08:25 +0000

I’ve made individual lenses for plus size beauties looking for specific costumes.

* Plus Size Pirate
* Plus Size Witch

Happy almost Halloween!

Glenys O’Connell Who Lens

biggirlblue — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 03:02:34 +0000

I made a lens for an online writing friend of mine because she doesn’t have time to get into the throws of starting a website or lens herself. Visit Glenys O’Connell’s Who lens.

Top 100!

biggirlblue — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 18:56:57 +0000

My Plus Size Halloween lens is in the Top 100. Number 83 to be exact! I don’t expect it to stay there forever but it’s totally cool that it’s visiting.

Here’s proof:

And the $20 bonus was a nice surprise as well.

Squidoo Meme Update

biggirlblue — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 08:18:55 +0000

How long have you been a lensmaster?
Since July 2006. I still can’t believe it’s been that long. In fact, I think the date is wrong. Bug perhaps?

How many lenses do you have?
112 active, 16 in progress and so many more in my Squidoo lens notebook.

What are your top three lenses?
My top three lenses are:
- The Write Prompts
- Plus Size Halloween Costumes
- Plus Size Party Dresses

Who are your top three favorite lens makers?
At the moment:
- Daoine
- Carennedy
- Topanga

Top three favorite lenses, not your own?
- Michelangelo’s David (it’s awesome!)
- Indiana Jones
- Pirate Costumes

What is your favorite module?
Right now it is the twitter module. I’m twitter crazy. Twitter me!

What is your lens making goal for this year?
Well, I met my goal of 50 in July. My goal is to make 150 by the end of the year. It’s funny because the last time I did this meme I said “I will be thrilled with 50 and will just work on upkeep from there”. So much for just upkeep. I never thought I’d have so many lenses. But I don’t want to stop… I can’t!

Have you won any awards for your lenses?
No, no awards but I may make the top 100 this month. Do I get an award then? Or just personal satisfaction? Or both.

Who should make lenses?
Everyone with computer access and vision. Do you have one? Click here to make your own lens.

This lens is brought to you by the Squidoo Meme lens.
