OMG – that’s Oh My Gosh – my Squidoo lens Environmentally Friendly Halloween Lights has been nominated for a Giant Squid Award! Whaaaat??? In the Green category? After all it is one of my Going Green Ideas lenses.
Errrr……no, in the Best Holiday Lens category!
When you look at all the better than excellent Halloween lenses on Squidoo, I am gobsmacked – to use one of my quaint English expressions – that my lens was picked out.
To be nominated is such an honour and I just do not know how the Giant Squid Organisers, Bonnie and Robin, managed to sift through so many lenses and come up with such an extensive list. Not only do I feel honoured but I also feel truly humble to be appearing among so many great Lensmasters, who have taught me so much over these last 18 months.
I am also proud that one of my fav lenses has also been nominated - Christmas at AJ’s in the About Me category, but I say more about that in my other blog: Always Juggling on Squidoo.
Thank you Bonnie and Robin!
Over the last couple of weeks I have had fun and frustrations setting up my new Zazzle store: AJ and Family. It has taken quite a lot of time organising the store and setting up categories and I must admit I have been quite shy about promoting it, to the extent that I have not even made a Squidoo lens about it yet!
Some of the artwork I have seen on Zazzle is awesome (and I don’t use that word very often) and I don’t know how on earth we can compete. But I guess it is all about creating your own style and niche.
One of my categories is Going Green and within that category I have a section called Sustainable Products, where I will only showcase the products made on organic or sustainable materials. The range of sustainable products that Zazzle makes available is limited but I am hoping that this will increase.
I am continuing to develop my theme of Going Green Ideas in my new Zazzle store. It is taking awhile to bring all my “Going Green Ideas” together in a series of blogs, articles and lenses but I am finally making progress.
So far I have:
My next task is to design an image that hopefully people will use to link any lenses or blogs that I feature to the posts on here and then I guess I ought to make more Green lenses. Oh AND a Zazzle lens of course!!
