My New Name is Holly Hobby

In first grade, when I found out that it was possible to change your name when you grew up, I decided right then and there that I was going to change my name to Holly Hobby. I was very sure of this and almost called the Illinois governor to get the paperwork sent over ASAP so that I could have it all filled out when I turned 18.

When I turned 18, I had other things on my mind like Prom and college. Now, that I'm almost double that, I'm simply too busy naming my own children to bother with my name. So that little item of business remains on my to-do list.

But, I haven't lost my childhood love for Holly. That is why I almost went nutso when I discovered this kit in a local scrapbook store.


It was a little expensive, but it practically had my name on it, that is if I wasn't so darn busy at age 18. Seriously, is this heaven? Holly Hobby fabric, images, trim...whoa. I love it. Love. Love. Love it.
