Part lensography, part biography and part, well I'm not sure.
This is my homepage which connects all of my lenses together. I share with you some of the people, and places, and things that I love.
New lenses are added every so often so make sure to come back. ;)

I'm a SquidAngel and in the Giant Squid 100 Club
I'm also a Giant Squid Greeter alum
I was one of the first Giant Squids! That title was given to lensmasters who had 50+ quality lenses by 9.4.07. They now offer a Giant status to those with 25 great lenses. You could be one of the next giants. :)On August 13, 2008 I was recruited for Squidoo's first team of Giant Squid Greeters. Greeters keep an eye out for up and coming lensmasters who have great potential to reach Giant Status. I held the position for 6 months and am now an alum.
If you'd like more info on becoming a giant you can check out THE GIANT SQUIDS (and how you can become one).
I was also on Squidoo's first team of SquidAngels which began April 30th 2007. I was on duty a second time in the Fall of '08, and got my wings back again on April 5, 2009 and was active through September 30, 2010. I took a short break and was back in action for the month of November 2010 and have been going since.
Angels are here to help good, content filled lenses rise to the top, and to knock out the spammy ones. If your lens gets blessed, you'll see a small LensRank boost. If it gets dinged, you'll notice a small drop in LensRank.
If you have a lens you would like to be looked at by the angels head over to the Lens Spotlight section of SquidU or SquidAngels Headquarters.

On October 7, 2008, I made it into the Giant Squids 100 Club.
That's for Giants who have at least 100 great lenses and was, at the time, the highest ranking on Squidoo. :)
February 3, 2012 I became a Colossal Squid! (250 great lenses)

She works hard for the money
(hey now)
When I was a munchkin I used to make things and walk around the neighborhood trying to sell them. I remember painting pinecones, calling them Christmas Ornaments and going door to door.In middle school I used to buy gum in bulk and sell it to classmates. I made a killing till I had a competitor and the teachers made us both stop selling LOL
Also while a youngin' I would go to bridge games with my dad and would be paid to caddy (no one ever knows what I'm talking about here so don't feel bad)
My mom used to do flea markets and she would give me a table to sell my things. I think I did better than her. HA
My first real job was at Boston Chicken (now called Boston Market) when I was 16. That didn't last long. Then I didn't work again till college.
During college I worked on our Campus Entertainment Network's stage crew. That was THE best job. I got paid to go to all of the concerts, comedians, and dances we had. Loved my boss and the guys I worked with and had a blast.
Intern for an Engineering firm in upstate New York
Intern for an Architect in upstate New York
Intern for a studio professor in Rhode Island
Full time Designer/Draftsman at a small firm in Massachusetts (till becoming a mommy)
Part time Architectural Consultant in a smaller firm, then for an Architect, and my husband and I currently do consulting together for various residential projects
I work very part time in our family's sheet metal shop taking care of accounts payable/receivable
I work on my CafePress and Zazzle shops
And I'm a Squid :D

Gilmore Girls - The Complete First Six Seasons
Welcome to quaint Stars Hollow, Connecticut. People often mistake Independence Inn's manager, headstrong single mom Lorelai Gilmore, and her equally willful teenage daughter, Rory, for sisters. Lorelai and Rory cope with the same emotional ups and downs, including Lorelai's overbearing, old-money parents and the joys and frustrations of the male gender.

- Christene I could spend hours here, excellent and very impressive lensography, WOW! I think what brought me here was 'squiddicted' :-) I mean I used that term on a new lens and wanted to link back. Then my Squiddiction took over and... hell, where WAS I? This new lens of mine is about Squidoo friends around the world (squidoo-lensmaster-locations) and I'll link to your Squiddicted lens. Hard to feature Squid friends this way because in many cases I really have no idea WHERE they are, and you fall in that category.
