First, a little bit of background.  Back in August, the Squidoo HQ put out a challenge to lensmasters to build enough lenses to qualify for "Giant Squid" Status.  When the challenge began it was 100 lenses.  Now a lot of people found that VERY daunting, and impossible to imagine.  After a little consideration, Squidoo HQ revised the goal down to 50 lenses (but they had to be GOOD lenses, not spamming stuff).  So we're all building and editing and tweaking like crazy during August. In early... Read Full Story

I learned how to knit when I was 13 on a couple of old watercolor paintbrushes, using scrap yarn, and following the pictures in a how to knit book.  I had decided I wanted a hobby, and knitting was going to be it.  As I got older, I made lots of afghans, sweaters, vests, mittens, and slippers.  It's something that I find very relaxing and fun to do.  Back in 2002, as I was cleaning out some storage, I found some doll clothes I had made for my Cabbage Patch Kid dolls, and put them up on eBay...

It's one of my favorites, for sure.  Starring Deborah Kerr as Anna, Yul Brynner as the King of Siam, and Rita Moreno as Tuptim, it tells the story of an English widow who is hired to be a tutor/live-in governess to the many children of the King of Siam during the 1860's, and the classes between English and Siamese customs of the time. The music of Rodgers & Hammerstein help to tell this glorious story with unforgettable songs like "Shall We Dance?" and "Getting to Know You". Deborah Kerr... Read Full Story

It is by far one of the most creative, and innovative covers for any record album. The creativity of the album cover carries through to the music contained within. It's also so bright and colorful, and it's quite the challenge to identify all of the people included in the cover (it's a great party game!) This album along with the movie, "Yellow Submarine" are my favorite two Beatles projects. Read Full Story

During their glory years of multiple Super Bowl wins, with players like Roger Craig (from Nebraska) and Tom Rathman (also from Nebraska) backing up Joe Montana and making some of the greatest Super Bowl memories ever.  Their star has faded a bit from that time, but its good to remember those glory days.

Why is he the grouchiest Muppet ever? Well, because he is a grouch, and even though all grouches are grouchy by nature, but he is the grouchiest of them all! Oscar was one of my favorite characters from the classic Sesame Street television series growing up, because he was so contrary to everyone else on Sesame Street, and yet fit in.  Sometimes I felt like a misfit and alone when I was a kid, so I could sympathize with him sometimes. But at the same time, even being so grouchy, something he... Read Full Story
