Religion and Spirituality lenses (and more)

It’s time for my monthly update on the new lenses I made… As those of you who follow squidu know, I’ve landed a big webdesign account, so I won’t be as active here. Still, I’ve managed to build quite a few lenses in the past month:

One of the most influential Zen Buddhist teachers of our day is Steve Hagen. So I finally made him a lens…

Calendar lenses:

2010 Real Leather Planners, Date Books, Calendar books
Owl Calendars 2010
and Fun trivia facts desk calendars 2010
Farm animals 2010 Calendars

Then three lenses that have to do with calendars, yet aren’t built to sell… Two of them were made as part of the giant squid challenge. One was made because I felt that my calendars blog account should not hold ONLY sales lenses. So here goes, in chronological order:
A calendars quiz
Calendars Blog: How I stay organized
Digital Calendar or Pen to Paper?

I did three book reviews this month:
A World Full Of Gods: about the early history of Christianity, The Miracles Of Exodus and Existential Psychotherapy, Irvin D. Yalom.

In my new mini-niche I made three lenses about laptops and their bags:
First about my new Lightweight 13 inch laptop, then about rolling bags to carry it, and then for good measure a lens about cute wheeled bags in general.

Sometimes, not often, I make lenses simply because a reader suggests it. This month the result isn’t yet that good. But they’re a start on gathering anti religious and anti Christian quotes.

We had a rare white winter, with not just snow but natural ice to skate on as well. For the Dutch this is common enough for us to know what to do, but rare enough to make it a special occasion. So, of course, I made a lens about skating on natural ice.

My last niche this month was a dive into Marjolein Bastin. Marjolein Bastin is a Dutch lady who makes water color art, that is turned into all kinds of stuff by Hallmark. Some of it is rare by now, because the line sold out fast. I started with Marjolein Bastin calendars, and expanded to Marjolein Bastin Checkbook Covers, Vera the mouse, Marjolein Bastin Christmas and Marjolein Bastin Collectibles.
