The Early Years
That would be me fishing in Parry Sound, Canada apparently I liked to fish a lot as a kid. As for the strange sailor pants that would be my mom's doing! My First Car
In 1987 I got a 1979 Grand Prix. It was red just like this groovy photo only mine had a lot more rust. Good thing it was red! I loved that car and reluctently parted with it in 1989. It was replaced by a 1989 Hyundai Excel. Big Mistake. Let's just say that Hyundai has much improved it's product line since 1989! Hey, at least I didn't drive a Yugo! My Lensmaster Journey...
I started Squidoo back in Feb. 2007. I saw it on CafePress and thought it looked fun. I made a few lenses and a few cents off those lenses. I started making more lenses and the cents turned into dollars and I became addicted. I love researching and have a slew off ideas floating around in my head. What a perfect outlet! My goal is to make at leat $335 per month off of Squidoo. That's the amount of my student loan. I really would like to say that I paid off my student loans with my lenses! Squidoo How-To's

Fetching RSS feed... please stand byA Girl Geek At Heart
I would have to say that I am a self-proclaimed Girl Geek. I have worn glasses since the age of 7 and have had an obessesion for electronics from a very young age. I can remember taking apart clocks and radios when I was little to see what was inside. However seeing Star Wars in 1978 clinched my title. I was way more interested in Wookies and X-Wing fighters then dolls and dancing much to my mother's chagrin. So there you have it I'm a Geek! Whoo Hoo! I made "Lens of the Day" on 2 Lenses!
