    I can't think of anything. I just choose initials of my husband, 2 kids and me.

    I am always travelling (or at least it feels that way) and I love books- they are always with me. The first thing I do when I move into a new place is build or buy bookshelves.

    Well I was bored one day and ended up buying a bunch of domain names from this guy who was selling them cheap. One of them was publicdesigns.com

    I thought it was catchy but I had no idea what to do with the domain so I just had it sitting for months. Then I decided I wanted to make the home repair site I had been putting off for a long time. So I ended up using it for this site.

    So here I am with my username reflecting my site name.

    Cool story eh?

    That is good thinking Public Designs.
    A multi purpose name indeed. 8)

    Just a name I like... "colour" [no I'm not English, just a different way to spell it] me and "grae" [again, just different.] Nothing special. My real name is Heather. Quite boring. ;)

    I love the name Heather as I named my daughter Heather (yes after the shrub bloom)and her middle name is after her grandad Raymond and his brother O'neal.
    her middle name is Raeneal.

    Glenda, I like Heather's middle name. I like unusual names and the fact she was named after two people makes it extra special.

    MT stands for medical transcription and home is where I work. Not very imaginative, I'm afraid.

    I am a proud new business owner, so I decided to use my business name as my username. It is the perfect way to get my name out there!

    I was a member of a European stuents organisation when in art school and traveled extensively for that. While in Macedonia and Serbia people called me Kume which means 'best man'. I always kept it as my nick for anything online.

    I have always planted a garden wherever I lived. Last June we moved leaving behind a garden I had loved and tended for 10 years. It was too late to plant a garden for that year. Now I have a new garden to plan and plant and I just felt like The Gardener so that is what I chose.

    When I joined, I was going through the usual pains of gardening, such as Black birds stealing my new tomato plants, stray cats pooping in the garden - animal poop is dangerous to people if it infects the soil), one thing after the other, but I still anticipate this year's garden.
    Sort of like growing children - we love them, but face it, they can be a pain at times. :p
