    I am working hard my first ten squids, still need much work to reach 50 squids, I have a lot of work to do.
    What makes it diffecult to succeed on squido is that I have a lot to learn before I pioneer. Be kind to check some of my lences.
    Enjoy your time, squidoing

    I am Hungarian too and Hungarian Goulash is one of my very Favorite meals. One of my grandmothers was born there and came over on the boat.

    Amazing to see that you are now at 811 lenses! I was one of those original Giant Squid 100s too. Those days seem like yesterday.......

    I wonder how much the average giant squid makes a month. Saw your blog post about the 8 top squid earners. Very interesting! great lenses too!!!

    Well, I'm only about 97 Lenses shy right now, but as soon as I clone myself (with Dr. Frankenstein's help), I will get there... someday! ZOLTAR69.

    I've applied to Giant 100 ... hope I make it. Got my fingers crossed. Nice lens here!

    Hi Jaguar,
    I like the way you go back and talk about how you learnt from your previous lenses. Completed my first lens and will be doing exactly the same as you have, until I reach the 100 lenses. I will be back to read some more.
    Best wishes,
    Graham

    Hi Julie - You asked yesterday where you had seen me - I've been around Squidoo for a couple of years now - I have various names and looks here, depending on the type of lenses that I'm building. You might know me as "TonyaB". =)

    Re-blessed... I remember those all-nighters creating 100 lenses by the deadline!
  • dc64 Mar 28, 2009 @ 12:17 pm | delete
    So are they going to make a Giant Squid 500 Club, or do they already have one? You are like the Squid Queen and the rest of us are your loyal subjects! Well, now that you are on vacation, maybe I can catch up. That would mean doing about 40 lenses a day...on second thought, maybe I'll just sleep in. I could never catch a Jaguar!
  • AndyPo Jan 14, 2009 @ 1:31 pm | delete
    Great lens and congratulations. I just became a Giant Squid yesterday... Not quite as giant as you though, but it's a good start.

    Congratulations on your very well deserved Giant Squid of the Year award!
  • Rewards4life Jan 2, 2009 @ 9:24 am | delete
    Will she ever stop!!! It's good to see peoples reactions to your work, I know where they are coming from. No where near Giant Squid status yet but seeing the great subjects that are produced on Squidoo gives me the inspiration I need. Thank you 5*

    I'm a Giant Squid and have considered applying for the 100 Club. I have over 120 lenses at this point, but my time on Squidoo is limited. I don't feel I do all that I should as a Giant, moving up a step... I'll be editing another book this spring, getting it ready for publication. I think I need to quit my job. Then I would have the time to do all the things I want to .... Like playing on Squidoo.

    I hope you had a great holiday.
    Regards,
    Lizzy

    I have applied for the Giant status, but am so anxious I just keep making more. Just published # 72 and #73 on 90 year old skydivers etc and bringing back the romance of train travel. They won't be featured until tomorrow, but your lens is getting to my heart. No sooner will I stop being anxious about the Giant (if I get it) and I am already anxious about the 100. I am going nuts!

    But thanks its good to know that I am not alone! 5* to you!

    Something to think about. Thanks Julie. Saw you at SUP. Heres 5 Favorite

    Wow, you folks sure know how to throw a party. 100 lenses... seems like a daunting task, but it gets closer one lens at a time! Thanks for becoming a fan Julie. It's reciprocated.
  • ElizabethJeanAllen Oct 10, 2008 @ 6:07 pm | delete
    I topped a hundred last week. Next milestone--150. I want to reach it by Christmas, but I would have to call in sick a few times. My boss might not like that.
    Great lens

    This is a great lens! I aspire to be in the 100 club.

    Wow Julie,
    You definitely put what I thought was unattainable into a reachable grasp.
    Thanks!
  • GabryelandKarilyn Sep 4, 2008 @ 4:05 pm | delete
    Wow, I don't even know where to start. Thank you for all these great lenses you have, I am motivated to continue creating more and high quality lenses. I became a fan just a few moments ago. Thank you and many blessings!!

    Good job! Hopefully in the future, I will be able to accomplish even half of what you have.

    I agree with Kim, your writing style is completely engaging! Thanks for sharing so much wisdom... great for newbies and fellow giants!
    Great work.

    You are unquestionably an inspiration to us all... hope to make it to the Giant Squid stardom one day.
  • KimGiancaterino Apr 1, 2008 @ 1:58 pm | delete
    You have a real gift for storytelling. I remember those final type-a-thon moments going for 100 lenses. I know they scaled it back to 50, but once the 100 figure was in my mind the goal was set. I'm glad a hard-drive crash didn't deter you from yours, either.

    Awesome lens Julie, Go girl power!
