Fresh Squid News

For all of you who haven’t been up to date with the news about Fresh Squids, group and Contest are back online and today one Fresh Squid contest ended and another began!

Winners of December 2009 Fresh Squid Contest:
1st place – jgelien with The Art of Aging Ungracefully
2nd place – spunkyduckling for Ten Funny Reasons God Made Pets
3rd place – Wednesday_Elf with Potholder Soup

These 3 ladies really have done excellent work on their lenses and they deserve winning for work they have put into them! Well done ladies and congratulations!

Another Spotlight interview has been up today as well. This time, interview took me to Scotland where I’ve visited one hard working gal – made 50 lenses in 3 months! Wow! This lady also won last of the weekly contests: Module Contest! You can check who’s in question if you visit and read interview for Squidoo Spotlight!

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!

We have some news… We’re throwing December Fresh Squid Contest! This contest is featuring only lenses by new members of our Ning community! So, if you can grab few minutes, stop by and vote for your favorite lenses! They will really appreciate all the help and attention!

Regarding our weekly contests, cooking contest is finished and although not many lenses entered, we managed to vote most deserving and funny lens – Fresh Baked Memories by jgelien. She agreed to say few words about herself for an interview casted on Squidoo Spotlight. So, check her interview and her lenses, she’s well worth your time!
