Idea Designs Lensography

I started Squidoo in 2007 with a quest to share some ideas. I made a few lenses and began to feel right at home with this venture. I started research for a few lenses, starting off with time I could spare. It soon became nearly a full time job. This is a mostly complete list of my lenses, mostly because I keep making new lenses. I try to keep it up to date!

If you like to express yourself, Squidoo just may be the best thing for you to try, it's Free! You can add many various modules that make adding content easy. Adding videos, photos, polls, twitter, so much more is so elementary once you learn the basics. Now there are awards and trophies to win, all the more to be social in Squidoo. Browse my lenses...

A few things about my squidoo experience.

I opened an account at CafePress in December 2006, I needed to promote and link to my shop and I joined Squidoo in October 2007. I started out here just to promote my t-shirt designs at CafePress. On Squidoo I started out sending my small cash to donations mainly because I wasn't making much at first. Besides I didn't understand the whole Paypal thing. I made a few more lenses 11 or so, began to get better ranking. That's when I noticed I was making more than small change. It was necessary to learn more about Paypal. Just by making a Paypal account I could easily receive money from Squidoo. Instead of 100% donation I chose 10% and the extra income helped! You can choose any amount to donate or keep 100%. Honestly, now I keep 100% and donate to a religious organization that is not listed on the charities list, so that works for me!

My newest toy.

Apple's iPad

So far It's a great time killer. I use it for games, doing puzzles, twitter, watch utube, journal and some other things. There are games that can be very addicting like Smurfs, MrGiggles, Restaurant and City Story. I recently removed them because they're so addicting. There are some practical apps, like iCal, Maps, Pages, Bible, GoogleEarth, Weather, Notes and News (like Fox, CNN, abc). More games for all ages in math, abc's, reading, uno, monopoly, scrabble and tons more. I've even had my grandmother play solitaire and scroll facebook with it. There are good free apps and there are apps that cost money, but you can read reviews and see what is worth buying. This is the 16GB sized one, if I were to choose again I'd probably get the next bigger size, but for now there's plenty of space.

My Current Favorite Links

Anchorstone.com - Ron Wyatt
An archeologist who searched for bible history. His main job was in the U.S., but on his days off he'd fly to the bible land and discover things no one else had. He simply followed his bible, prayerfully asked for the Lord's guidance in every matter, and God always led him to great finds!
Jesse Duplantis - Preacher with Joy and Light
You can't be disappointed by this man's preaching. He is anointed of God wth joy and funny stories. He speaks truth and light.
Jack Van Impe - End time Teaching
If you need an endtime teacher, this is the "walking bible". He has memorized nearly all the new testament and more. He knows his end time prophesies and puts it together with today's news. Another great end time teacher is Irvin Baxter and Grant Jeffrey.
Talk to Steve - Talk Radio for Christians
Found this talk radio for christians through a forum and glad I did! He talks about today's news and relates it to the bible.
Studylight.org - Bible Reference / Scripture
There's many bible links out there. I trust this one. I go to it several times a day when I need a scripture to copy or think about. It has all the versions you need with tons of commentary. It's simple page layout, just do a search and you can find anything in the bible in any version!

2012 - Search out a matter.

Something I plan to do more in 2012 is to simply seek more of Him. Seek Him while He may be found. He's like a treasure hunt, He likes to hide. Finding Him in the smallest of moments is most rewarding.

"It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter."
~ Proverbs 25:2

Dream Language: The Prophetic Power of Dreams

This is an awesome book. Do you have dreams with little understanding? Here's a book that will get you on the path to understanding your dreams. They are more than just rapid eye movements.

"James Goll builds a solid framework for how Christians today can receive, understand, interpret and apply dream revelation from the Holy Spirit."

My Favorite Young Artist - Akiane

Akiane - drawing and painting since age 4

Akiane has been receiving visions and dreams from God from a very early age. She's an inspiration!

More about ideadesigns

My first real job was bussing tables. After high school graduation I started college for a graphic design degree. Next job was fast food drive in window. Then I got a newspaper layout department job, which helped me get into a computer prepress department at a printing company. After graduating I was hired at an advertising agency. After working there for four years, lo and behold I decide to stay at home to work and be a mom.

With no intentions of ever going back to work, I was given a new emac computer. I worked with a publisher to design book covers. I soon discovered cafepress, where I could use my designs in something profitable. I didn't make much for about a year.

After using Squidoo to promote my cafepress store, I learned that Squidoo was so much more than just blogging. After cafepress reduced their shopkeeper earnings I added some designs to a zazzle shop. They are also a nice company with friendly shopkeepers. Right now I'm happy swimming around Squidoo, it's a challenge at times to manage real life vs virtual life, but I keep it all going with God's help.

If you want to see our small miracle story go here to "Lightning Strike..." and read.

In the midst of all this, we have three children, one yorkie puppy and a white schnauzer. We miss our first beloved yorkie.

Can't wait to hear what you have to say!

Thanks for all the kind comments! :)

    wow!!! I can't imagine myself making 100+ lenses. It was even big effort already to come up with 6 original and personal lenses. I am not very good with words and I am scared of my grammar as well. But thank you so much for noticing my lenses. I will have to come back too. I need to read all those spiritual lenses you wrote...

    You've done a great job on this page. My lensography, I'm embarrassed to say, is horribly out of date. Continue to keep up the good work!

We've used ours on a Disney trip for GPS mapping, finding locations on our trip. I've used it for internet searching, email, photos, music. I love the game apps, but it's really handy as a journal, calendar, lots of reading... and you can save a document on the ipad and transfer to your mac by itunes with the app Pages.
