A lensography
Most of you know me here on Squidoo as lensmaster 'spirituality' - but I've also got a life outside my interests in spirituality (though perhaps that's not often noticeable). Anyhow on this lens I showcase my non-spiritual lenses and tell you all a bit more about myself.
Thank you!

Lens of the Day (LOTD) ! My lens about my country The Netherlands made it :)

Katinka's Squidoo Answer Deck

Giant squid Top 100 Member
In July 2008 I became a giant squid. Half a year later, January 2009, I also got the honor of calling myself a member of the giant squid top 100 club.The Giant Squids are the elite amongst the lensmasters at squidoo. All of us have made at least 50 quality lenses. Giant squid top 100 members have made over a hundred quality lenses.
In the same month that I became a giant squid top 100 member, I also made lens of the day. There aren't many squidoo honors left :)
As bonus: in months before the announcement I took the challenge on squidu to share our experiences in a thread dedicated to the path of becoming a giant. As a result I got interviewed on the Giant Squid Community Showcase blog.

Interviews I've given about squidoo
She asked things like my passion for squidoo, my most popular lens, and a tip for newbies.
The Giant Squid Community Showcase interviewed me when I'd just become a member of the Giant Squid top 100 club.
They asked me about my lensmaking process, my favorite lenses and a story behind a recent lens.
Where, When, How
This is me looking thoughtful, probably on the beach somewhere. Picture taken by my grandmother, probably:
When I was 7 I got a new baby brother (my second brother). You can see I adored him:
At about the same age you can see me working in the garden of our Groningen house. Yes, I'm actually wearing wooden shoes. [Can't believe it. I hated those things and would have expected to refuse wearing them]
And this is me bathing, again looking thoughtful.
We moved for a year to Austin, Texas in the United States when I was 12 - which is where I learned the basis of my English. I went to Middle School there.

I got my camera last week and love shooting pictures with it. Once I put it in 'easy mode' it really has been very easy to use. Only a few buttons left to get to know.Small, easy, fun. And the quality of the pictures I'm taking is great.
This year I got this pen, a few other things as well, but don't you love it too?

I began as a Chemistry major - but quit because I wasn't getting the grades.
I went on to nursing school, where I failed on the practical side of things.
Then I became a teacher of math and chemistry. This is the first college after High School I actually finished - so I have two bachelors degrees from a teachers college. I tried teaching for three years, but found out that I'm not really cut out for that.
Next I went back to university to study the love of my life: religion and spirituality. I'm still there, hoping to get my BA degree in the summer of 2008.
I didn't get that degree: the writing of the final papers did not go well at all. Taking stock of my financial situation (and what was I doing this for) I quit. That was a huge relief. Turns out I hadn't been enjoying college for a while.

Nice to meet you :) Thanks a lot for blessing my lens on crazy gadgets. I was going through a lot of your lenses today to get new ideas... the CSS codes one especially. Very helpful! Thanks a ton.
It's even more nice to know you like India and that you're planning to visit here soon. I love people who like India (not that I hate people who don't). And if you're into Bollywood music, you wouldn't want to miss out on A.R Rahman's tunes. We Indians all adore his music!
Do stay the same!
Cheers
