Welcome to my 200th Squidoo Lens
Hello fellow squidoo lensmasters. My name is Thomas Carlson. By day I am a cook for a well known southern restaurant, at night I am a Squidoo lensmaster and a t-shirt and gift designer with 4 cafepress stores.
I have reached a goal here at Squidoo with this 200th squidoo lens!
To celebrate I want to feature other Giant Squids who have reached their goals of completing their 50th or 100th squidoo lens! Putting them in an elite group of Squidoo lensmasters known as Giant Squids and the Top 100 Giant Squids!
I made it!
Houston... We have 300!
I am creating some great tasting recipes lenses! Next time you are wondering what you will cook for dinner, stop by my profile page and take a look! I bet you will enjoy the many casserole recipe's I have!
I didn't really do anything special for #300 Tuna Noodle Casserole you can make and freeze for later if you want!
200 lenses? OMG how do you find the time?
A few hours a day can earn you a good part time income!
I have focused on a topic that gives me unlimited possibilities on lens topics. I have been featuring rock bands here at squidoo. Plus recently I broke off even further into the niche by creating lyric pages for the bands I am featuring here at squidoo.
Of course this gives me the ability to link all of these relevant lenses together and increases my traffic across my lenses!
Poddys is like my squidoo twin brother!
We both joined Squidoo in Jan. 2008!
Poddys is a regular forum member at SquidU You can often find him in many of the threads offer up advice and asking for some along the way!Poddys and I both like to create lyrics lenses for our favorite music bands!
But like every great Lensmaster Poddys get other ideas for some great lenses too. Which is very evident in his top lens My Claim to Fame!
You can learn a lot more about Lensmaster Poddys because he has created an Who is Poddys lens!
Like most Giant Squids Poddys has a pretty impressive fan list! So why not add your mugshot to his list to!
Lets show off some of Poddys lenses!

A special Giant Squid swims in the sea of Squidoo, she calls herself Flowergardener, we call her Deb!
She may just have the greenest thumb of all the Giants! A special lady with deep faith!
There are times when life can deal you the wrong set of cards, and leave you with a terrible mess to deal with. Deb has had to deal with some recent issues with flooding and storm damage to her home in Iowa. The true colors of many Giant and non Giant Squids has come shining through when another squidoo user posted about Debs bad luck with mother nature. Suddenly Deb's lenses have been showered with traffic and squidoo users are donating some extra money to her paypal account to help her get through these bad times. Because we all know that Deb wants to get back to doing what she loves most, creating quality squidoo lenses and working in her flowergarden!Please take the time to visit Deb's quality lenses. Every click should be considered as helping Deb get her life back on track!
Don't worry Deb, God is with you always! We all love you!

I would like to introduce you to a Giant Squid!
Kab is a Giant Squid plus a Squid Angel!
There is one thing you can always count on with us giant Squids. We usually cover a wide range of topics! Kab is not much different in that category from the rest of us! kab has covered such topics as Office Pranks, How to Make Great Jello Shots, and the Arlington National Cemetery.To qualify for Giant Squid (50 quality lenses) status, kab completed this lens about Chiyogami and to be a Top 100 Club Giant Squid special member kab made this lens about Tiger's Eye. But kab hasn't stopped with 100 lenses. kab has made over 150 lenses here at squidoo.
kab is a great example of someone who can reach their goals!
Spend a little time on kab's lenses and you will be glad you did!
Kab is a member of the Top 100 Club!
