2011 Fall Harvest Fest Quest

Welcome to the Squidoo Fall Harvest Fest!

It's that time of year again when then leaves are turning, the air is getting a bit colder and the holidays are upon us.

It's also a great time to craft some Fall lenses. So we've created a Fall Harvest Fest Quest (try saying that 3 times fast) for you to share your newly created Autumn lenses.

There are 3 categories to build in and if your lens is chosen for our Fall Fest MonsterBoard you'll be awarded 200 points and the "Thanksgiving Dude" trophy!

PS - You're receiving this special Fall SquidQuest because you're one of the top lensmasters who've created a lens in the "Holidays and Celebrations" category.

Countdown to Fall Harvest Fest Quest

Fall Harvest Fest Quest: November 12, 2011

The Fall Harvest Fest Topics

Craft a lens in ONE of these topics

  • 1Fall Crafts & Decorations - Think Thanksgiving crafts, Indian Corn, pumpkins, corn husks, Autumn leaves, cozy candles, copper pots, wrought iron, carved wood, beautiful burnt orange beads and dried Fall wildflowers.
  • 2Fall Food & Recipes - Think pumpkin soup, raisin bread, apple pie, green bean casserole, cranberries, cider, cheesecake, custard, chili, mac & cheese, hot chocolate, mashed potatoes, comfort foods and of course...turkey!

    I am upside down and it is late spring here with temps in the high 20's already, It is hard to think of an approaching winter in this environment. Perhaps I will do a lens next autumn to submit when your fall comes around again, hugs

    Too bad there are not actual topics listed in the categories for the Fall Harvest Quest. I have not found those topics with in the categories; there is "Thanksgiving" and "Halloween", but so far, no "Fall". What about a lens theme? Hmmm. I am reviewing some of my older lenses and adding keywords about "fall" and "autumn". In the meantime, must hurry up and create, create, create.
