How To Create a Stunning Top 10 Lens
Make Your Top 10 Squidoo Lens Sparkle
Have you ever tried to write a Squidoo lens using the popular Top 10 format? As part of the Rocket Moms project all the participants are invited to make a Top 10 lens. I had always known that this was a great idea - but had never quite realized just how great a format it is. The possibilities are endless. Sit down for a moment and see how many ideas that you can think of. Once you start you just may not be able to choose which idea to run with first. But how do you make your lens shine and ...

Blast Off With Rocket Moms
Rocket Moms Blast Off
This Sandyspider has been blasting off. Upward and outward, blasting off towards the sky and exploring the universe. Or at least Squidoo! Before July 4, 2008, I didn't even know what Squidoo was. A year later, not only did I celebrated my anniversary, but became a Giant Squid. To say that sandyspider is addicted to Squidoo is an understatement. It has taken over my life! Ask my family!!! A few months ago, I decided to start exploring some of the different lens templates that are offered her...

My Rendezvous with the Rocket Moms
Graduation
GRADUATE! Isn't that totally awesome?! I must admit, when I first joined Rocket Moms and started reading lenses from the previous classes, I was quite concerned about my ability to meet this challenge. There are so many wonderful women in Rocket Moms and their lenses are exceptional. Let me tell you about of few of the women I have met and my personal Rendezvous with the Rocket Moms.

My RocketMoms Experience
RocketMoms ROCK Squidoo
RocketMoms was an idea pioneered on Squidoo. The idea was to capture and cultivate the best from the Work At Home Moms that seemed to dominate the number of lenses created on the site. The first session of RocketMoms was 6 weeks long. There was an assignment given on Monday of each week. We had the full 6 weeks to complete all the assignments. The really cool part was that we also had "EXTRA CREDIT" assignments we could do each Friday that also counted toward graduation! So if you did them a...

So Just Who Are The Rocket Moms?
You may have seen a lot of the Rocket Moms here on Squidoo recently. But just who are they and what is the Rocket Mom project all about? The Rocket Moms are a collection of Squidoo lensmasters who have been taking part in a new project. The idea was to gather together some Squidoo moms who would help and motivate each other to make great lenses. Some are well known lensmasters and others are pretty new. We were all given a task each week by our Head Rocket Mom bdzk to complete a lens on a gi...

Enslavedbyfaeries Is A Rocket Mom!!
A Celebration Of My Newest Title, "Rocket Mom"!
Since joining Squidoo in August 2007, my list of official titles has grown and become even more weird, especially for those who don't know me on Squidoo. First of all, my username, "enslavedbyfaeries", is in reference to faery lore and the enchanted faery rings that are made of toadstools or wild mushrooms. Humans can be lured into the ring with the faery music. If a human steps into their circle and joins in the wild prancing it could lead to captivity forever in the fairy world. Little did...

Sue M11
Who Is Sue M11?
Welcome to my little corner of the world. I am a Malaysian work-at-home mom with 3 great kids who have now grown up. Have you noticed that many women identify themselves as moms while men will tell you what they do? Well, my nest is almost empty. The kids are doing their own thing (whatever that is), so now time for Mom to do her own thing too! OF course the most exciting thing happening these days is my journey on Squidoo as SueM11. Receiving awards for some of my lenses has spurred me on ...

RocketMoms Session 11 With SueM11
RocketMoms Session 11 - "Hot 100 Lists"
The Rocket Moms session 11 was around the time for Christmas shopping. Keeping this topic in mind the RocketMoms were given the challenge of creating lenses with different gift ideas. Bonnie called this a lightning round and all the ten challenges were posted right at the start so we could do them at our own pace. We had to complete at least 8 out of the 10 challenges to graduate. It was helpful to know in advance what were the challenges so I could plan what lenses I was going to build. Th...

Writing about What I Love on Squidoo
Challenged to Write about What I Love
RocketMoms is now part of Squidoo history, but the lenses I wrote for the Session Ten challenges are still alive and well. I was able to write about my local area events in September and October of 2010, a personal challenge I was facing as I had to switch from a PC to a MAC, and one of my most frequently used recipes. I had also been waiting for the time to write a New Testament Quiz to go with the quiz I wrote on Old Testament People. Quizzes are one of my niches, as are local lenses, and m...
