Wordsmith Wednesday

voltaire

it’s time for this weeks’ installment of wordsmith wednesday challenge.

what exactly is wordsmith wednesday, you ask? it’s a chance for you to come up with a word that will, in turn, be put on to a loverly little recycled notebook. the books above were from previous winners. they also happen to be geniuses. just saying.

what’s in it for you? the chance to be clever, snarky, witty, thoughtful, sweet, or funny. and if your word gets picked for the week, i will send you you’re very own copy. for free. as in, i’m giving it away.

there are no other rules. no other limitations. it could be word related, or not. it could be a comment on how stupid the education tax is, or not. it could be one word, or many. it could be made up, or real. it’s up to you.

and if you need some ideas to get you started, you can check out my flickr page or etsy shop. better yet, check out the previous giveaways {here, here, here, and here}.

oh, and in case you are an overachiever and have more than one word or idea, why not submit them all? you can enter as many times as you like, with as many words as you like.

yeah, it’s that kind of contest.

and now for the official sounding mumbo-jumbo:
the contest begins on wednesday of every week, and will end the following tuesday at midnight ET. meaning, this week the contest starts today, december 16th and ends on tuesday, december 23th at midnight ET. capiche?

taxonomy (a little word association?)
cultivate (minds, plants, kids)
blank (my mind now)
