Squidoo Halloween Fun= Squidboo

Have you tried Squidboo yet? Several lensmasters have, and they've created some really cool Halloween lenses. My first attempt at Squidboo is Halloween Tricks or Treats. Which do you prefer for Halloween Tricks or Treats?

Squidboo comes with some pre-fab, pre-populated modules, but it's really simple to make it your own. I just changed the article terms on the Wikipedia modules to "trick or treat" and "Halloween," to better fit my lens, then I added a couple text modules, changed some of the costume modules since the costumes didn't fit my lens theme, and TaaaDaaa! I have a really cool Squidboo lens with the fun Halloween spooky look.

Check out yesterdays lens of the day Pumpkin Carving 101, and today's lens of the day Hairspray Halloween Costumes, both are great examples of Squidboo lenses.

Some other fun Squidboo lenses check out some of these titles:
Disney Villains by BlondeHeroine
What Can You Do With Pumpkin Guts? by Kimberly Dawn Wells
Television Witches Over The Years by Gypsy Pirate
Black Cats Classic Icons of Halloween by Christene

and many, many more.

Thinking Christmas Already? Squidoo Lensmasters Are

I was browsing through the new lenses today (part of my Squidtern fun), and a lens caught my eye. Many new lenses only have a couple modules when they're published, so I don't usually expect to see a complete lens.

The lens that caught my eye was called The Twelve Days of Christmas by hmsweaver. She's assembled a really fun lens based on the song by the same name. It's a cute idea. Check out some of her creative gift ideas. It may inspire you to give someone you love gifts based on the Twelve Days of Christmas.
