From the Desk of Lee Hansen - Pastiche Family Portal, Editor & Publisher
What's
New at Pastiche
Here's the latest and greatest of what I've been up to on this site, and online.
I have a newly published article at EZINEarticles featuring my favorite home made chocolate cake recipe - it truly is the world's best chocolate cake. I've just finished up a new set of Halloween printables and Halloween Knit and Crochet lenses at Squidoo - most of the Halloween patterns, coloring pages, games and printable paper crafts I've listed in these family feature articles are free.
I'm a Giant Squid 100 Club Member
I finished my 100th lens in June and applied for membership in the Giant Squid 100 Club. I was tickled orange when I got email in early July telling me I'd been accepted!
I made 8 new lenses for the Giant Squid Summer Session - an 8-week lensmaking challenge similar to Rocket Moms that's just for Squidoo Giants. I earned my Masters in Squidoo by completing this 8 week / 8 lens course.
I'm a Rocket Mom. Rocket Moms Rock.
The first class of Squidoo Rocket Moms graduated in June 2009i, and I finished all the assignments for the 6-week intensive session plus a few extras.
