Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

In celebration of the June 1 launch of my new jewelry line and remodeled web site, I’m holding a contest to create a name for the new line. I’m looking for something cute and catchy, and of course, something that captures the personality of both the new line and its designer (that being, moi).
The Prize: Your choice of one Whimsy Chick pendant (valued at $75).
How You Enter: Submit one or more ideas for the name of the new line via email with the subject line “You Name It Contest.” The address is AT my site WHIMSYCHICK.COM and the “person” is CONTEST. Did you get that?
(If not, you can leave a comment here and I’ll try to clarify it for humans without giving it away to the spambots.)
Why should I enter? If I choose your idea, you win The Prize! In the event that no name is chosen from the entries, one winner will be selected at random.
But wait, there’s more! Just for entering, you will receive a 10% coupon good towards any Whimsy Chick item. (One discount per person please.)
What’s the new line?
Contest Deadline: May 31, 2006. Though if you come up with some fabulous idea for the new line after the deadline and you think I won’t be able to pass it up, contact me and we’ll talk.
CMA: If I choose your idea, you agree to forfeit all rights of the winning idea to me. Blah, blah, blah, no future compensation, etc, etc. Okay?
If you’re a greedy, selfish person who will do anything to increase your chance of winning: Do not tell anyone else about this contest. Keep it to yourself. And congratulate yourself on your sneakiness before your bad karma catches up to you.
Otherwise, please pass this info along to anyone you know who might enjoy it.
Anything else?: If you have questions, you can email me at the contest address or leave a comment here.

Ooh, I got it!
Whimsy Chick Pendants
Or wait! I’ll fancy it up a bit! Check this out:
Pendants by Whimsy Chick
Yeah? Are you loving those or what?
I can’t think of a name for them that doesn’t suck - but I think they are really cool. I like the one with the frog…
Oz, you rock! I was thinking Whimsy Chick Pendants too, but Pendants by Whimsy Chick is so much more… special.
Mike, my husband likes the frog one too. I keep changing my mind about which one is my favorite.
You can also do something like “On a Whim”. You know because the pendant hangs on something which naturally, hangs on…you.:)
It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
