Fresh Squid News

Our latest weekly contest winners have been spotlighted – last week we had interview with Kim and this week we’re hosting Irene aka dancerene. This young lady is someone you shouldn’t miss – she’s got talent and great potential. She’s got style! And she’s quite an artist! You can read her interview (a little different than others…) in Squidoo Spotlight.

Another weekly contest also ended – Make Your Own Holiday hosted by Laniann. If you have time, you should stop by her contest lens and check out all the new holidays that were invented last week! And maybe you get inspired to make up your own, personal holiday! You know, never enough of holidays and celebrations!

Winner of this contest, and the most appealing new holiday was voted: Tread Softly Day by WordCustard. In her own words: “My holiday, then, is Tread Softly Day, a day to put a hold on our commercial, self-obsessed existence and preoccupation with all things human. A day to reflect on our home planet and all other species who live here. A day to tread softly, do no harm, and notice the beauty of nature.”

This has been great month! Many great new lenses have been created by both old and new members of Fresh Wonders! On our last contest, we had a tie! So, officially, there are two winners! And rightfully, I may add. You can see what I’m talking about if you visit these outstanding lenses: Wedding Caricature – Step by Step Drawing and Painting of a Caricature for Wedding by dancerene and The Lost Art of Conversation by kimmanleyort. Have to say: all of the lenses that entered Telling a Story With Images weekly contest have been really something special. They may not bring a fortune to their creators, but they are great example of using pictures and writing story in the most creative way!

Kim agreed to share some of her experiences about Squidoo for Squidoo Spotlight so, stop by and read interview with her. She’s really lady with many talents. And wonderful friend!

And reminder, Fresh Squid Contest is open for voting until December 31st. Hmmmm… Don’t wait for the last moment! You know that you will not have enough time to visit all those lenses few days before Christmas! So, better head to the contest lens right now! Vote for your favorites (you can have multiple choices!) and help new members of our community feel welcome!
