The Squidoo Pay-It-Forward Challenge

Ranked #3,757 in Squidoo Community, #268,484 overall

Show your favorite lensmasters some love

Squidoo is a community.  We help each other.  Whether it be by offering advice in the forums or offering words of encouragement in a guestbook, we stand by each other.  I truly believe that when we give, just a little, we recieve more blessings than we could have otherwise imagined.  So here is what I propose...why don't we all pay it forward?

Showcase your favorite lensmasters

Spread the word

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to write a pay-it-forward lens about three other lensmasters that you admire. Did they help you when you were a newbie? Did they write an inspiring lens? Did they give you your first angel blessing? Whatever the reason, let Squidoo know why you chose to feature these people.

That's not all...

When you choose your three, pick a lens by them and share it. Tweet it...nominate it for Lens of the Day...lensroll it...favorite it...there are so many ways to share a lens.

That doesn't sound too hard, does it?

I'm going to get you started with my three lensmasters. When you are finished with your 'Challenge Lenses', add them to the plexo on this lens. Let's see how much giving we can do for this holiday season.

My Featured Lensmasters

Aren't they cute?

Bonnie Diczhazy (bdkz)

Bonnie is top notch when it comes to Squidoo. She is a Giant Squid Organizer. If you have any questions about becoming a Giant, she is the gal to talk to. She is also the Rocketmoms Organizer. It's a group designed for mothers on Squidoo to get together and create quality, focused lenses. I have been a Rocketmom since the beginning and I have seen, first hand, how much work Bonnie puts into this group. She visits every lens and answers every question that we throw at her. Her dedication to helping all squids is one of the reasons I chose to acknowledge her today. Before you go...don't forget to visit her amazing Zazzle Store. The photography and digital art is beautiful!

24websurf (Holley)

Holley is the sweetheart of all sweethearts. She is not only a Rocketmom, but she is also a Giant Squid and a Squid Angel. Holley also has a very helpful blog for 'couponing' moms. The reason I chose Holley is because of her kindness. She leaves the nicest and most thoughtful comments on lenses and is very genuine with her words. She loves Squidoo and loves sharing in other's good fortune. That is why Holley is being featured here today.

Janet21

Janet is one of those lensmasters that are thriving. Besides having over 100 lenses, she also has some very fun blogs, Kid's Birthday Parties and Novelty Gift Shop. She is very knowledgeable and knows how to get her lenses to the top. None of this is why I am featuring her though.

One day I was surfing the web looking for ways to make money from home. I came across a lens called Are you a stay at home mom (or dad) interested in earning a monthly income. I definately was, so I checked it out. The lens was honest and promising so I joined Squidoo that day and never looked back. I'm sure you all know that it was Janet's lens. I want to thank her for writing such a great lens that led me to this community. I'm sure I am not the only one who found Squidoo this way and I won't be the last. Thank you, Janet!
