I'm so glad we helped you and the others trying for giant. I really enjoyed it. You can always email me if ever you need any help. Alternatively, ask whenever you're in Chat, you know we all love to tell other people what to do! Thanks so much for that, Kathy. I’m so glad we helped you and the others trying for giant.

I loved the last Challenge, and learned so much. Thank you Carol for being one of the ones that "adopted me" when I wasn't getting my needs met, and helped me to learn. I am in the new challenge also, and for me, I can honestly say it's not near as personal as the last Challenge was. I know there are a bunch of people trying, both in the mentoring positions and in the learning ones....but as someone so wisely said today, sometimes we don't know what we need to learn, nor do we know what to ask. Time will tell, and yes you might have the same amount of Giants, but will they really have learned to be the best of the best, or will they have made 50 lenses? I will always be thankful I was a member of the WiWon Team as you, Katherine, Alex, Holley, Michelle and so many took the time to help and guide us in the right direction! And Joan's Team and Mimi's, all the Teams, that personal touch made a difference in my opinion.

On Wiwon we are so pleased with most of our candidates for the last challenge and most of them expressed their thanks for all the help they received. It's hard when you've been part of a successful team (or so it seemed to us) when you have to give up. I know how hard all the Squidoo volunteers like Greeters work so I know that everyone trying for Giant or the 100 Club in December will get as much help and encouragement as they need.

Each Greeter will be focusing on and helping with one aspect of lens making, so the individual attention really hasn't disappeared. Of course, during the Challenge, I'm sure the GSOs will be assessing the effectiveness of the changes made this time.

I liked your lenses and so it was no hardship at all to look them over. I really enjoyed your Looney Tunes lenses and they taught me something too - how to drill down and concentrate on a topic and get everything out of it rather than going off at tangents, like I do sometimes. That's a habit I'm slowly curing, I hope. No apologies needed, Steve. I liked your lenses and so it was no hardship at all to look them over.
