Quirky Quote Contest 2008 - Get Ready

In the next couple of weeks, I am going to announce the 2008 Quirky Quote Contest. Get ready to share your favorite quotes, words of wisdom, poems, or whatever creative words strike your fancy. I am especially excited that I made my own button for this contest, and am working on a banner for those of you so inclined to put one on your blog.
I have always loved quotes, and keep a little notebook of them written down. A few years ago, I came up with a deep thought of my own that said, "Be yourself, I'm already taken" and low and behold, the other day I read an almost exact quote from Oscar Wilde that says "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." Who knew that me and Oscar Wilde were kindred spirits!
Anyway, get your quotes ready, and look for the big announcement when I start taking submissions.
I am trying to come up with a great prize - I was thinking a Starbucks or Amazon gift card. Any ideas?

And the Winner is.......

The votes are tallied - and the winner of the Quirky Quote Qontest is Karen at Wired Wisdom. This was the winning quote with a total of 79 votes.

I am not afraid of failure. I am afraid that I will succeed in things that matter not to God.


I hope that you all enjoyed playing our little game, and thank everyone for participating. I will be putting Karen in contact with Goofy Girl very soon to get her template all jazzed up. Be sure to stop by her blog in the next couple of weeks to be dazzled!
