With the weather heating up fiercely in my neck of the woods, I asked our team captains to share one of the hottest new lenses added to their teams for the Giant Squid Challenge September 2009.
Joan4 reported that: ” the JJJ’s produced 44 great lenses this week! We enjoyed our chat time – which was led by AJ this week. We discussed and learned more about how to get traffic to our lenses. Our forum is growing with great information. We are learning every day! What a super team!
Michey is keeping up with all the lenses and statistics at her wonderful blog. I am so appreciative!”
Joan recommends we all take a look at: How to Peel Shrimp by puzzlemaker.
Mimi, proud leader of Team One said, “Potential Giant Squid, mbgphoto has the “hottest” lens in our plexo this week—her 50th! Congratulations to Mary Beth for her Mentoring Children through ePal Program.”
KAB, who heads up Kab’s Fab Squid Squad pointed out that “Giant Squid hopeful sukkran takes us to a hot tourist location, Chennai in India.”
A_Willow of team WiWon told us that “Macs shares first hand experience in her growing niche about parenting kids with special needs. One of lenses on this topic is full of tips on how to deal with explosive children: Raising an Explosive Child. Most parents will find something helpful in here!”
Rajays who is the leader of none other than Rajays Rocking Squids said: “I don’t have a “hot” lens in the plexo but I do have a “spine chilling” lens – A lens by WhiteOak featuring some of the scariest Haunted Cemeteries in the States.”
Be sure to visit all the Giant Squid and Club 100 Hopeful’s lenses. Give them a critique, a compliment or just say hi. It’s tough being the new squid on the block! Your wit and wisdom can go a long way towards helping us find the next Great Giant Squid lensmasters.

Great work, y’all!
What a great challenge!
This is so much fun! And it’s getting better!
I have been so impressed with the lenses being produced on the JJJ’s and the other teams. There sure have been some fun reads! Thank you for this blog and I thank all the Team Leaders.
Wow. Have I got my reading cut out for me! Good reading, though!
