You must have had a very patient (sp) mother. Had I done these things I wouldn't be around today to need an ID. No story behind mine. Quilter because I quilt & born in 54.

My real name is Christine, but my mother often used the European version ... as in ... Mom walks into living room and notices a huge splotch of orange paint all over the new blue floral sofa slipcovers she just made. "Krystyna, Krystyna. What is this? Well, that IS a lovely painting of a pumpkin you've made." Mom walks into my bedroom and sees me hard at work on one of her old skirts, snipping away with scissors in hand. "Krystyna, Krystyna! My goodness! Isn't that a fancy hula skirt you've made." Mom passes by the hall closet and notices a sign I enthusiastically made to remind me of the schedule for my soon-to-start violin lessons. It is affixed with to the lovely oak door with glue meant to repair shoes and has a fancy leather frame made from my father's old belts. "Krystyna, Krystyna! Oh! Oh ... Well, now no one will forget your lessons for a long time. Oh. Oh, my." So, in keeping with my quilting qualities ... I decided to use the ID Krystyna. Mom passed away many years ago, but with each quilt I finish, I can hear her say ... "Krystyna, Krystyna. Oh my. What have you made here ..." |
Mine is rather obvious too. I am the grandmother of 6, 3 boys and 3 girls. They all call me Grannie, or Grann for short. Even my son-in-law calls me Grannie. Simple as that. I may not look like the typical "Grannie" and I also drive a truck. My Gkids call me the "Cool Grannie".

Mine is "PolkaBabe" Was on a bus trip to Branson, Mo & as the bus driver & I were talking/kidding around I stated something about a CB handle if I had a CB. He came up with Polka Babe. It caught on - e-mail is PolkaBabe-----. Of course I love the music, dance & it's people.

My anti-authoitarian son asked why spend all that money giving flowers to a dead person. I explained & then said that I wanted a happy funeral, so instead of flowers I wanted fireworks instead. My oh-so-rational daughter said that they wouldn't show up in the daytime. I (playing along) said that was even better - a night funeral with fireworks! I've maintained that until today. :lol: My son has probably forgoteen; my daughter is quoting code enforcement rules to persuade me differently. Kids are just TOO funny! Debbie Stair |
My story is boring. It's my first name Arlene and the first and last letters of my last name RS
I say it all together though ARLENERS |
My family called me Pattie as a kid and I married my dh whose last name is Pearl so Pattiespearl it is.
