The thank you lensmaster blog
I started the thank you lensmaster - squidoo reviews blog to honor all those lensmasters that have helped me.
This lens is dedicated to that blog and to all those lensmasters who have helped me, yet who haven't been interviewed (yet).
BTW: some of you have not been interviewed only because you did not respond to the e-mail...
Some of the more famous lensmasters I got to thank & interview...

Chefkeem is one of the new squidangels. He has blessed a few of my lenses, for which I'm grateful of course. But as a squidangel he also blesses a load of other lenses, for which each of those lensmasters owes him their thanks. And as one of the most active lensmasters on squidu, he contributes more than his share to the squidoo community.
Thanking Chef Keem
Flowergardener is one of the most famous lensmasters at squidoo - not because she markets herself well, but because of her excellent lenses and her contribution to squidu. In other words: she's authentic. She's also one of the first lensmasters to contribute a quote to my Spiritual Quotes lens. Something I remember fondly.Thanking Flowergardener
Does Kim require an introduction? Long time squidangel - she has helped so many lensmasters it's amazing. She has also recently become a squidoo giant greeter. Can you imagine the time and dedication involved in that? Of course it helps if your lenses get blessed and you also get into the giant club. Wow.Thanking Kim Giancaterino
Jaguarjulie must be one of the most popular lensmasters around. Her whopping 680 fans are testimony to that. The fact that she still finds time to rate and comment on lenses like my Dutch ones is amazing to me. With 380 lenses she's also one of the most prolific lensmasters around. Reading her interview is a bit disconcerting. Her most underappreciated lenses still have 28 and 25 votes respectively. Now wouldn't we all love to have that problem? In fact - if you were wondering if she has lenses that haven't been voted on - I couldn't find any. [And she had the courtesy to send the HTML code for this interview - which obviously means less work for me. I can't believe it]Thanking Jaguarjulie
Thanking the Fluffanutta

- Great images, and a lovely tribute to some excellent lensmasters. Lensrolled to "Thank You, Squid Friends" (http://www.squidoo.com/squid-friends)... and you just might find yourself mentioned there, as well. ;)

- I've only been around Squidoo 2 1/2 months, but it's true--without the help of lensmasters with more experience, I would have become overwhelmed by the amount of information to read. I learn something new daily, all thanks to lensmasters who have taken time to mentor me (and help me laugh).
Gratitude is never wasteful! Thank you for this lens.
