Can a Newbie Lens Become LENS OF THE DAY???
I start this lens with lots of question marks in title above for one simple reason: over last 6 months I've been on Squidoo, many people asked what it takes for a lens to get featured on LoTD blog? What a lens should be about? By who? And most important: Can a newbie lens be recognized as LoTD?
Well, this lens is here to show off to those who distrust Megan's choices of lenses that are featured on LoTD blog that there are not only featured lenses by Giants or crafty lenses (I saw someone claiming that on SquidU) but also lenses by people who joined Squidoo, made one or more outstandingly unique lenses and got featured in month or so!
Who are they? Take a peek bellow!
FRESH SQUID GROUP UPDATE:
Lens of the Day? What's That?
If you asked this question, you are most likely not signed in with Squidoo!?!

Woman behind Lens of the Day blog concept is Megan Casey, a founding member and the Editor in Chief of Squidoo.
Explanation of Lens of the Day by Megan:
"Lens of the Day (LotD) is a blog, a newsletter, and a bit of a phenomenon. The latter is not because of me. It's because of the Squidoo community.
Here's what I've said on the blog: "Every weekday (or nearly that) Squidoo's Editor in Chief, Megan Casey, highlights a single page (called a "lens") that stands out from the crowd, a lens that is unique in topic, approach, personality, tools or timing. Or, you know, just a lens that made her guffaw a little."
If you want to know more, read Megan's lens!
Who Are People That Are Featured Here???
Why them?
Well, because! ;) Back to being serious --> all lenses that are feature here are lenses that were featured on LoTD blog and were made by lensmasters who were at the time of featuring Fresh Squids!!!
Newbies, newcomers, Fresh Squids... what ever you want to call them - made lenses that stand out soooo much to become featured on LoTD blog!
Sit back in your chair, grab a cup of coffe in lensmasters' mug and enjoy!

First Fresh Squid Featured on LoTD!!!
Lady you shouldn't miss!

CCGAL joined Squidoo on September 13th 2008 and her lens (featured bellow) was featured on LoTD blog only 15 days later!!!
And this is why she ended up there (in Megan's words):
"what I love about today's Lens of the Day, "Heritage Heirloom Cutting Boards" (other than delighting in the truly gorgeous woodwork) is that CCGal and her husband aren't just trying to sell their work... they're telling stories about it. Oh, and this part too: She's only been a lensmaster for 2 weeks, and look how far she's come already!
CCGAL was also fist winner of Fresh Squid Contest as Fresh Squid featured on groups' page during September 2008!
One Lensmaster - Single Lens - LoTD!!!
Are you seeing right? Yes!
Another Newbie? You Bet!
Be ready for surprise!

Squidaddle joined Squidoo on October 5th 2008. His lens was featured on LoTD blog on October 30 2008 - only 25 days after he joined us!
What makes this lens great? Well, as Megan says:
"LoTD brings you something almost as creepy as Halloween! Lensmaster Squidaddle shares his firsthand experience wearing hundreds of bees on his neck. Yes, really. *Shudder*.
Taking Your Own Path....
Can send you to surprising places!

After only 19 days after signing up with Squidoo, Mystic Turtle aka Nancy Shepherd got her name on LoTD blog on March, 13th 2009.
Message she sends with her lens:
"I hope this lens serves as inspiration to everyone, especially women. I want everyone to know that dreams are possible, man or woman--even solo, even "over 30." Life's too short to spend it doing what you don't want to do!"
Teaching Your Kids To Cook

- This is a cheering, inspirational lens, thanks! I've been going around this morning following links out of my "lens of the day" guestbook and saying thanks to people. And the biggest thanks to you, for encouraging me. I'm impatient for the end of September!

- I joined in March 2008 but didn't make my first lens until July 2008. My second lens, Twilight Dream Team, was made Lens of the Day just 3 months later, in October 2008! So YES you can!
