All of my Squidoo work, all in one place

Anyone who's seen my house - or my desk - or my car - or my computer desktop - or anything, really, is going to laugh at the idea of my having all of anything neatly arranged. But here, in this spot, I offer all of my Squidoo lenses, neatly listed and described for your delectation, all in one place.

As the list grows I will even arrange it by category; should I ever produce two lenses that could be grouped together in a single category.

My Featured Lenses

In alphabetical order - I'm not playing favorites here.

Alternative Candy Hearts: Alternatives to the store-bought Valentine's candy Sweethearts, from generating your own pictures to making your own from scratch.
Bloomington-Normal, Illinois: What you'll find where I live - Little Towns on the Prairie.
The City of New Orleans: All about the 1970s folk song and the train that inspired it.
Cute Little Pouches to Make: Links to patterns and instructions for some of my favorite sewn pouch patterns, with pictures of my projects.
Give Me The Brain: Featuring one of my favorite games - James Ernest's zombie fast-food adventure; Give Me The Brain.
Roller Derby Crafts: Do-it-yourself projects for the Roller Derby skater or fan, or anyone who wants to be one or the other.
Set - The Card Game That Everyone Can Play Together!: Another favorite game - Set. It's all about collecting cards with certain features - easy to explain and easy to play, but loads of fun and great for parties and multi-generational groups.
S'mores and More: How to make this tasty campfire treat and more - history, upgrades, and s'more related items.
Squidpoo: Finding and Using Strange Toilets: What Americans need to know about finding toilet facilities when traveling overseas, including what to do when confronted with the dreaded "hole in the ground" toilet.
Super Bowl XLVII: Information leading up to Super Bowl 47 - to be held in New Orleans, LA, on February 3, 2013.
Taking the Polar Bear Plunge: I did it and so can you: taking the Polar Bear Plunge (into icy cold water in the middle of winter) to help raise funds for Special Olympics.

“The funny thing is, I work organizing other people's stuff. But this is as organized as I get.”

What's Next?

As I write this, I have 44 in-progress lenses, not counting this one. More Roller Derby and other sport history lenses are at the top of my To-Do list, but I'm easily distracted. Squidoo has sent me on a fashion and entertainment quest - expect something new in that line soon. My "City of New Orleans" lens was a quest lens, and I had a great time learning about different types of music, so now I'm a dedicated quest fan. I'm also taking the Rocket Squids program, so I have homework there. AND I really want to do a series of lenses debating Serious Grammatical Issues, but I'm not sure how I want to proceed with that one. There are always more lens ideas than time.....

What I'm Reading

Maybe this will lead to a lens?

It's Not About You: A Little Story About What Matters Most in Business

by: Bob Burg, John David Mann

Amazon Price: $4.90 (as of 05/27/2012)

I never expected to enjoy a business/marketing book, but my experience with this book was the same as with Harry Potter - I picked it up for a quick glance and realized I'd read a quarter of the book before I knew it. It's described as a "parable" and that word works - a neat little story with a significant moral message, but one that also promises business success. When you're trying to persuade someone; it's a lot easier if you focus on them, not you. I just plain liked reading this, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone, in any field.

The Joy of Discovery

These are lenses I've found on my quests.

Serendipity Works, too

I've also found neat lenses while just wandering around.

I'd love to see your comments here! Any thoughts on what I should do next?

Thanks so much for visiting and featuring my Make a Bandana for Dogs lens. People who love animals will always be loved by those same animals. Isn't it great? :) And, I'm impressed that you've made a lensography. I haven't managed to put one together yet.
