Here are my current choices for a title.
1. Ink In My Veins--I've had this quote from C. Astrid Weber rolling around in my head for a long time. "The coroner will find ink in my veins and blood on my typewriter keys." I love the imagery and it seems appropriate for the giveaway.
2. Tantalize--Simple, but also evocative. If I had my own perfume, I'd want it to be named this.
3. All Things Bright--It's a good allusion to Cecil Alexander. I also like that your brain just automatically fills in the "and Beautiful" without the words actually being there.
4. Set To Stun OR Set To Stunning--It has both a sci-fi and fashion flair. I'm so there. (Unintentional rhyme.)
5. An Everywhere of Silver--After my favorite Emily Dickinson poem.
6. Ampersand Girl--Elisabeth said it would make a good superhero name. I have to agree and thinks it suits me.
7. ???--Suggest your own!
I want a Tumblr Blog to post things like pictures, quotes, music, stuff I wish I could buy, and cool articles. It fills the space between twitter and blogging. In other words, I get more than 140 characters but I don't have to worry about cluttering my blog with stuff that's ultimately unrelated to my life. I'd like it to be classy, edgy, and maybe a tad bit haphazard at times. It also means I can focus on writing better content for my real blog. I'm excited to see what you guys think.

Ink In My Veins! No contest. It's very poetic and descriptive and I think perfect for a blog title!
I vote for Ink In My Veins or An Everywhere of Silver.
grrr I really want those earrings.
Ampersand Girl
or
Gretch a Sketch (because, that's still totally clever to me!)
I like #3 because it made me sing the song and I love the song.
Ink In My Veins.
Definitely!
I like "An Everywhere of Silver." I'm not a big fan of Emily Dickinson (or any poetry, for that matter), but that is a beautiful phrase.
Ampersand Girl reminds me too much of the comic seires Y: The Last Man. This makes it my obvious fave choice as I loved that series.
The actual poems, I mean
5&6
I love Emily Dickinson. "We like March, his shoes are purple," "A Word is dead," although both are probably too long.
Ooh, so tricky!
Ink or Ampersand...
AMPERSAND GIRL.
It sounds more mysterious and intriguing. Besides, there is no ink on a blog.
Oh man, those are all SO GOOD. If I ever need help with a title for something, I will come to you.
I think my vote goes to "All Things Bright", although like I said, they're all fabulous.
Hm... At first glance I kind of liked "Tantalize" but on further reflection... Gretch-a-Sketch is my favorite. It's just so cute!
I like Ink in my Veins for a writing blog, but for the purposes you claim to be planning for it, I like Set to Stun. Maybe just because I'm a nerd.
(You have my email address.)
I really like Ink in my Veins and Ampersand Girl, more particularly Ampersand Girl.
Good luck! Cute earrings!
xox
I like Set to Stun or All Things Bright. Both are pretty catchy, I think.
I am loving Ink in My Veins. It's got my vote!
An Everywhere of Silver!
Ink in My Veins. Definitely. And I can't wait to see the blog!
An Everywhere of Silver
Though I really like "Set To Stunning
" and "Ink in My Veins" as well.
I have to admit, this is tough. I really like Ampersand Girl and Tantalize the best though. I would definitely read and remember those names.
ink in my veins. i love it. i want to steal it from you before you can use it.
but i won't. because you'll do it better.
*sigh*
:)
Tantalize. You want to post things you find interesting and fun. I think Tantalize is a great word to describe what you want to buy, but can't. Good luck in deciding!
Definitely Ink In My Veins
This contest is now closed to new entries. Thanks!
