Shameless plug for Threadless on Squidoo

I'm a big Threadless fan, I own enough t-shirts from them that I think I can last weeks without doing laundry (that's not why I buy their t-shirts! ;)

Threadless's community design and vote on the tees that get made into production, it has fans/designers from around the world contributing. Even more exciting, they're opening a physical store in Chicago on 9/10/07, mmmm.... guess who will show up on opening day?

Threadless Co-founder Jacob has a Threadless lens on Squidoo, do check it out! It's also mentioned in the Chicago Gems lens too!

Discover the Artistic you

I came upon a Squidoo Arts group made by Makingamark. The group included all the lenses she had created on the topic of art, painting, painting utentils, garden art, botanical art, egg tempera. It's got loads of helpful information for beginners, hobbyist or masters.

Put Zucchini on your grocery list

Find your long-lost family on Squidoo

It's really fascinating how Squidoo is used in so many different manners by lensmasters. If you happened to be looking for a long lost family member to help complete your family tree, why wouldn't you start your efforts on Squidoo? That's what JaguarJulie did on her lenses - one for the name Vereczki and another one for the name Nagy. She spent loads of efforts on her lenses including searching the Hungarian telephone directory for people with the surname of Vereczki. And the Nagy lens has very detailed information on each member on the family tree. Such dedication on a lens really shows how important her family's genealogy is important to her. And guess what, it works, someone with the last name Vereczki did contact her after seeing the lens!

Do you have a lens on your family and its ancestors? Here's a Genealogy-how-to lens to get you started on your research.

Experience Zen

We all could use some Zen at times. Our days are always filled with "tasks", "to-dos", "action-items". at some point, we should all pause for a little bit, take a deep breath, zone out the noise and spend some time with....a bonsai.

Indeed, growing and maintaining a Bonsai is almost an artform of its own, but one which the act of maintenance and subsequent enjoyment can lead to a peaceful Zen experience. If you're a newbie at Bonsai, fear not, check out Growing Bonsai Trees, a Squidoo lens that provide some very helpful information to start you off and has some very good background information on history of Bonsai.

I'm ready for some Zen moments, how about you?

"The Most Beautiful Woman In The World"

Few legitimate actresses have as many tabloid-worthy stories as Elizabeth Taylor. If you're looking for drama, look no further than Elizabeth Taylor - in movies and in real-life. While I know that she's very famous, and frequently known as "The Most Beautiful Woman in the World", I didn't know all the titillating details. If you want to know more about this larger-than-life drama queen, do check out this Squidoo lens on her.
