Sometimes I get ideas and make a new lens that stays in WIP (work in progress) stage for quite a long time. I had enough of those that I decided it was time to finish them and get them in a published state. The result is two new lenses.
One, was an idea to give a little inspiration to those who like to create and give Gift Baskets. That stemmed from the memories of how delighted I had been to receive this type of gift from sisters in years past. There are some great ones already put together and available on Amazon, too.

The other newly published lens is a tour of Autumn color decor.
The Autumn Look Leaves A Warm Impression
Guess when I brainstormed that lens? Yes, well it is finished and published and I found some really pretty home goods that add a touch of Autumn to a room.
On another note, I do the reading quests from HQ about how to improve making lenses and creating within the Squidoo community. Recently I read an article on improving the headlines, so I started experimenting with making headlines that are more descriptive. Even with regular blogging I've always had trouble with getting good headlines. So I am checking the ranking and the stats to see if a new headline draws more traffic or not, as an indication that I am getting the right mix of words.
OH YES-
My new lens on Japanese Dolls won a purple star, and I was so happy to see it come up on the front page of Squidoo :)
