My Inspiration
This lens is dedicated to my 13 year old daughter who LOVES robots!
My daughter is on a constant search for all things robot. She inspired me to create a niche lens with sole purpose of enabling her mission to decorate her room and accessorize herself with clanky tins cans with flashing eyes. I hope I've done her proud! Robots LOVE Purple Stars!
I am honored that this lens was blessed by Squidoo with a purple star on May 1, 2009!
