- I like this idea....I am not familiar with home schooling but creating lenses for unit studies is pretty cool. I'm going to lensroll this to my Pistol Pete Jacket Lens...The lens has little to do with the jacket, and is largely about an interesting lawman of the Wild West; Frank Eaton.
Thanks for this.

My name is Lynn (aka Lynn W, eclecticeducation, and lynnhsmomof2) and I am a Christian mother who homeschools her two boys. I am also a Work at Home Mom (WAHM) who does freelance writing (at Squidoo, eHow and Bukisa), affiliate marketing and designs products at Zazzle. When I'm not busy with my family, homeschooling or working online, I love to read, especially fantasy and sci-fi, watch tv and movies, and scrapbook. Some of my favorite movies are Star Wars, Narnia, Lord of the Rings and Spiderman. Some of the television shows that I watch are Heroes, NCIS, Psych, Monk and Royal Pains.
