Afton is my actual first name. Because its so uncommon I can usually have it for a screen name :) But because its so uncommon sometimes folks think I'm making it up.

Well... this is just me... BrendaY

MASH is my favorite!

Wildberry Farm is the name our our home (back when we had a hobby farm); I have always loved the tradition of naming homes. The two names we came up with were Raven Tree (for a wolf tree on our property where ravens often perch) or Wildberry, for all the wild berries that grow here. The day we moved in I picked wild blackcaps (black raspberries) and made THE best jam ever; that was how we chose Wildberry.

My husband and I met at work but did not date until we both left that company. On our first official date my husband he made such a fuss, fawning over me, telling me how beautiful I was. When I told him it made me very uncomfortable he promised to stop, instead telling me that I was ugly, as ugly as a bug. Next month we will celebrate our 30th anniversary. :-)

Mine is my name... makes it harder to forget. If I don't use my name it is TheSpunkyDiva since that is my blog and etsy shop names.

My husband's nickname is Monkey and he is as playful as advertised. Both he and my brother are born in Monkey years. (And I am Chinese.)

Your Mom sounds like she was a very special lady. I’m sorry for your loss. I chose Scrap Happy because scrappy quilts are my favorite and I enjoy working with scraps.

Mine is just my name. I have an Alter-Net Ego, but didn't feel it necessary to use it here, just on the gamer boards and ingame.

Stained Glass and quilting = Glassquilt

This is fun! I wasn't creative when I joined. Didn't know I could use a "screen name". So y'all know me by my real name.

I'm on quite a few boards and I generally use a 'handle' but I wanted something closer to my actual name as I hoped I would make some new friends. So my screen name is my initials and part of my last name. Most people call me Angel.
