Janet21 ~ Lensmaster, Giant Squid, Squid Angel, WAHM

We'll, I have heard that creating a lensography is the hip thing to do on Squidoo these days and that everyone is doing it.  I know, I know, you shouldn't do something just because 'everyone else is doing it', (my mom taught me better) but in this case I think it should be okay.   I am just creating a lensography afterall.  What harm could that do?  Plus, I certainly don't want to be considered "un-cool" by not having one.  I want to be a part of the Squidoo in-crowd. I want to fit in.  Geez, what am I back in highschool? Get a grip on yourself girl! :)

About Me~ 

A very quick bio!

I have lived my entire life in the great state of New York. I worked in the accounting field for 10 years before leaving my job when my first child was born. I have been a stay at home mom now for 11 years and truly love it! Of course there are some days when I want to pull my hair out, but I wouldn't change a thing. I have three children, 2 girls ages 11 & 8 and a son who is 4. This September my husband and I will celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary and we have been together for a total of 20 years!

I handle the accounting and office work for my husband's construction business as well as run my own image hosting site. I love keeping busy with grown up things. It has helped me to keep my mind sharp while being overwhelmed with diapers, bottles, play dates and soccer practice! :)

I came across Squidoo on a popular webmaster forum I frequently post in. I actually saw the site mentioned three times before I made the decision to join. I guess three times the charm!

Hi Janet - I am new to Squidoo and I think that you have inspired me to give this a try. I have tried several things in the last few years that just didn't work for me. So I am hoping that I will be patient enough to give this a good chance. Thanks alot!

Hi Janet,
I'm a newbie here and just browsing through here is and educational experience - seeing how clear, simple and loving initiative can reward you financially as well.
And you seem to be having a ball doing it - but that's part of the secret sauce, isn't it?
Hats off!

Janet, loved your blog. The clock you are featuring on your clock lens is my favorite clock and I have it hanging in my kitchen. I am a huge Betty Boop fan and new to Squidoo. Please visit my lens if you can. I hope to be able to make money, but I still don't know how you do it.:) I am mainly a writer and my lens is called: barbaraandwriting. Congratulations on all of your honors. You deserve it. I'm going to add this to my favorites and come back to read more. Too much to read in one sitting.:)

Very nice lensography. I agree, Seinfeld was the King Of Comedies.
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your noble calling as an Angel. The real blessings that Angles bestow upon us are the ones of mentoring and guidance.
Thanks again!

Well done, Janet. It is stimulating my imagination and causing me to realize that topics that interest and fascinate me most likely do the same for many others.

Thanks,
