I am a RocketMom in Session 3!
I am so excited about being in RocketMoms for the 3rd session!
I thought I would create a list of the assignments I craft during this 8 weeks. So I will be adding these as they are completed each week.
This class is huge! There are loads of new RocketMoms and it is going to be a challenging class this time too!
You will also find links to every RocketMoms lens created this session at the bottom of the lens! Be sure to visit!
What is a RocketMom?

RocketMoms, in my opinion, is one of the premiere groups on Squidoo. It takes the largest demographic on Squidoo and gives them a place to gather and learn from each other. It also allows them to speak in a group that will understand their concerns.
This is a unique opportunity for any mom. Being in a group of women who have been or are soon to be where you are allows you to see a fuller picture of many things. If the opportunity is used to it's fullest it presents a chance to make lifelong friends.
The group is made up of moms of all ages and walks of life. There are newbies, Angels, Giants and everyone in-between that walk these halls. Everyone has a goal and RocketMoms is a great vehicle to make sure these goals are reached.

Paula Atwell
Paula Atwell was a member of the first session of RocketMoms. She is has that nifty Giant 100 badge and she is a Squidoo Angel! This means she has crafted more than 100 quality Squidoo lenses. As of this writing it is actually 230! Paula aka lakeerieartists has a great group on RocketMoms called "Help for New Lensmasters Group" where she gives solid advice on creating quality lenses. I have learned much from her and the group!
If you have not yet made your first lens or even just feel you need a little help, take a look at this "Making your First Lens" Mentor by Paula. You may find just what you need!
Alison Meacham

Alison Meacham is also sporting that Giant 100 badge at currently 220 quality lenses is and another Squidoo Angel!
Alison aka EverythingMouse could rival Walt Disney himself with her knowledge of the different aspects of Disney! Being a huge fan of EverythingMouse since I began my Squidoo journey, I found she has much more to say! Her group is "RocketMoms Income Booster Workout". Yes, a RocketMoms group on how to make money on Squidoo. Now that gets a lot of people interested, doesn't it? If you'd like just a very small preview of the information in this group look at her How To Make Money With Squidoo and eBay lens. Cha-ching! Now, doesn't that have a nice ring to it?
Bev Owens

Bev Owens is a Giant! She has just completed her 100th lens as of this writing! She will have the much dreamed of Giant 100 badge on her wall soon! BevsPaper lenses are wonderfully eclectic with many having to do with her great love of antiques and the American Indian!
If you want to see how beautiful, well crafted lenses are created take a look at Bevs lensography! Bev also has a "Grandma Club" on RocketMoms! Rocketmoms is for ALL moms and this is perfect for grandmas!
Holley
Holley, that's me! I'm just a Baby Squid working toward Giant. I recently celebrated my 1 year Squidversary on Squidoo. I currently have 55 published lenses. However, I expect that number will skyrocket during this session of RocketMoms!
I am also a member of a_willow's WiWon Team, aka Willows Wonder Squids! You should be around when Michelle Willow cracks the whip! I also belong to the sub-group called Leather Clad Squids, mentored and run by our very own Giant Squid and Leather Clad motorcycle jockey, Drifter, Alex Crabtree.
Week One's Assignment
What's your favorite toy?

Do you remember Daredevil Debbie?
When I was a young child, Daredevil Debbie was everywhere! She was on TV, in comic books and she was REAL! Daredevil Debbie was based on upon real life daredevil Debbie Lawler.
A female version of Evel Knievel, Debbie Lawler was a motorcycle stunt driver and jumper in the 1970's. In February of 1974, Daredevil Debbie broke Evel Knievel's indoor world record by jumping 16 Chevy pickups for a total of 101 feet.
I received Daredevil Debbie for Christmas one year and also got Evel Knievel. I was a happy kid! Let me tell you how these two influenced me.
Week Two's Assignment
A Product Review

Let's talk about making money on the web. There are so many really easy ways to start. My absolute favorite hands-off, no bother, no aggravation, no worry program is Gomez Peer. This is a small program that sits in your system tray and makes you money. It will not make you rich, but you can get gas money from it. You can make up to $45 a month. I have been with them for about 5 years and have accumulated at this very moment $507.14. That is approximately $100 year for doing absolutely nothing. They deposit your money into PayPal every month like clockwork.
French Press Coffee Maker

Do you love great coffee? I am a coffee lover. Morning, noon or midnight, I usually have a great cup of coffee beside me.
Recently my 5 year old very expensive coffee Brewstation died from a short circuit. Unbelievable, but I didn't have a backup coffee maker either! Being out of work for 6 months doesn't lend itself very well to going out and spending a wad of cash on a new coffee system.
For over a week I explored the possibilities for replacement while I boiled water and poured it over the grounds in the old system and drank not so great coffee. You can imagine, I was becoming a bit anxious to get this resolved.
Extra Credit
Charity
It looks like Summer has decided to take a break early this year and bring on the Autumn. I love this time of year. It is not so hot you can't breathe and makes for days that are nice to stay inside and make soups and other heart and tummy warming recipes. Snuggling up with a good book or a loved one is also a good choice.
When the leaves begin to change we always plan a trip to the mountains. The view is breathtaking. Let's go for a ride!
Week Three's Assignment
Favorite Decade Niche

Do you remember Led Zeppelin?
I was a child of the 1970s. Music was extremely varied. From the "Bubblegum" sounds of the Osmonds, Shaun Cassidy and Leif Garrett, I soon moved to the "hard stuff".
By the time I was 11, I had Robert Plant on the back of my bedroom door. It was one of those big posters too! Led Zeppelin was my music candy of choice, with Robert Plant being the "Tootsie Roll" center.
Week Four's Assignment
Fall Recipe
I remember when my mother used to buy these in the box. They never lasted long as even store bought they were too tempting for us. Oh the delicious flavor was almost intoxicating!
Danish wedding cookies made very close to this recipe used to be given as good luck symbols to couples at their wedding. The combination of the walnuts and sugars represented "bumps in the road" and the "sweetness that coats a happy marriage."
Week Five's Assignment
Travel
I was born and raised in Georgia, USA. I have never known any other way of life than "Southern".
If you come to Georgia for a vacation or just for sightseeing, you'll need a car. It's a big state and the sometimes very long distance between cities or towns is filled with nothing but highway and trees. We like it that way.
There is a lot to see so let's take a virtual tour of my home state and hit the highlights. I'll even add personal moment or two in here for your enjoyment.
Week Six's Assignment
Arts and Crafts
Do you remember pressing leaves as a child? I can remember my grandmother and I finding the most beautifully colored leaves to keep as memories of our time together.
My grandmother will have been gone for 20 very long years in October of 2009, but I remember so clearly the times we had together. Each fall before the neighborhood kids would come to clean the leaves from the yard for her, we would walk around and find our treasures for pressing.
Week Seven's Assignment
Holiday
Please raise your hand if you are a "Chocoholic"! I see a huge number of hands out there. You are obviously ready for National Chocolate Day, and a Chocolate Affair to remember!
It is not my intention to discourage you from chocolate. Instead I choose to indulge you, to give you your hearts desire for chocolate. I will show you tongue tempting creations for your mind to wrap itself around and provide nourishment for your delicate palate.
Sexy Halloween Costumes for Ladies
Do you really want to be the ugly witch for Halloween? I have always though Halloween was a chance for children to get over their "monster fear" and adults to get a chance to create and be that "Fantasy character" they have always wanted to be.
I have gathered some of the sexiest costumes for women. I hope you will enjoy and find something that fits your Halloween needs.
An Exciting Update for Me!
Not only did I make Giant Squid and Graduate RocketMoms Session 3, but I received my Squid Angel Wings and Halo the next day!
Welcome Friends!
I hope you had fun! I am so glad you stopped by for a visit!
