Hiya People!

Hi.  I'm rms and this is a lens about me and my lenses!

My real name is Robin and I grew up and spent most of my life on Long Island. (That explains the accent.) I was, up until recently, the contributing editor of both Fresh Cooking From Your Garden, and Creative Writing - Sell Your Fiction over at Garden and Hearth. I left there to pursue some of my other goals, one of which is to write a novel.

I also write essays, short stories and, on occasion, a little poetry. I have been published both online and in print, in newspapers, magazines, ezines, several anthologies, and in two different poetry books.  My short story, Yellow Ribbons, which appears in the anthoology, Touched by Wonder, was recommended for a Nebula Award.

I'm having a ball creating lenses here at Squidoo.  What writer doesn't dream of instant publishing gratification?  Take a look at what I've created and accomplished so far!

 

About Me 

Lensmaster rms, aka Robin S, has been a member since May 8 2007, has rated 4,336 lenses, favorited 854, and has created 259 lenses from scratch. This member's top-ranked page is "Best Mother-Son Dance Songs". See all my lenses

My Bio

Hi! I'm Robin, one of Squidoo.com's Giant Squid Community Organizers and the Squid Citizen, Giant Squid Mentor which means I'm ready, willing and able to answer any and all questions about the elite group of Squidoo writers known as the Giant Squid Lensmasters.

I write The Giant Squid Community Showcase, where the Giant Organizers feature, the best and most helpful lenses made by the Giant Squids.

I also enjoy cooking and finding new recipes. If you're like me be sure to check out my Cabaret Squidoo Best Recipe Blog where I feature the best recipes from the pages of Squidoo.

Here are a few of My Newest Lenses 

Hey Monkeybrain! 

Hey Monkeybrain! is Squidoo's newest co-brand and boy are they fun to make. You simply choose a debate topic that you feel strongly about and Hey Monkeybrain! helps you start a lens about it.
Got a minute? Why not join a debate?

Squidlit 

Squidlit is another fabulous co-brand of Squidoo. I made several SquidLit (book review) lenses about my favorite writing resource books.

I love to collect vintage postcards and vinyl picture disc record albums. I don't know why. I just do!

Cleaning is Not My Thing 

I do it, but I do it grudgingly and I've started using Feng Shui to help keep me motivated and positive about the whole process. A little humor goes a long way too!

Cooking is Cool 

I enjoy cooking and finding interesting new recipes to serve to my family.
I can make a whole meal out of appetizers.

I really like to be outside in my garden. Call me crazy but it really relaxes me. And it's not only fun but great exercise too. These are some of my gardening lenses.

Wearing My Personality On My Sleeve 

Well, In my House Anyway.

I think it's fun to let some of your personality show up when you are decorating your home. I have a Gothic style bedroom and a Tuscan style kitchen.

We Own a 1970 Chevy Chevelle 

My husband and sons restored a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle back to factory condition. It's beautiful and has won many trophys.
Ebay was a great place to find many of the parts we needed.

I started a series of lenses to help others find all of the parts they need to fix their Chevelles too!
