Dear Squidoo...

In October 2009 Squidoo will be celebrating its 4th birthday. From a simple idea Squidoo was born.

The founding 4 members of Squidoo, Seth Godin, Megan Casey, Corey Brown, and Gil Hildebrand took that idea and here we are today.

Take a moment now to wish them a Happy Birthday or just say hello. This is your place to send a message to Squidoo and all the people who make it great.

Kitchenwitch cookery
I love to cook. I love finding and trying new recipes. I love even more putting my own twist on the recipes I find to make them my own. I must admit that I don't actually have to open a cookbook much any more. That doesn't stop me from wanting to buy... view lens
