Greetings

Or "Howdy!" as we say here in Texas. (We really don't all say that ). I wasn't going to do an intro thread, but then decided to anyway.


Where to start? I've lived in Texas my entire life and currently I'm a substitute teacher, for Junior High mostly. My Mom and teenage niece & nephew are the loves of my life! I have two dogs (Maddie Kate Scarlett O'Hara / Lady Isabelle Rosie Cotton) and two elderly cats (Wendy Moira Angela Darling / Tiger Lily). They're all divas, so of course they have their own website.


Hobbies: Reading, writing, anything Victorian (I was so born into the wrong era), photography, going to Disney World (been there 10 times), making far too many personal websites, working in PhotoShop (when I had it), card making, and watching old movies. I'm also a big fan of Scot's actor Gerry Butler. Next to "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir," "Phantom of the Opera" is my favorite movie.


Okay, I think I've babbled enough so I'll end by saying that I've been looking for a website like this for a loooong time now. I'm really glad to have found you.

Hi Kristin, nice to learn a bit more about you, I had a kitten once called Tiger-Lily

It's interesting what you say about feeling you were born in the wrong era, that would make an interesting topic as i'm sure others feel that way too.

It sounds like you're a very busy person!

I'm glad you found us too, it's nice to have you here

Welcome Kristin

For future reference, and I'm to be aware of italics. Where does that leave bold, underline, and strike through? How do you feel on font justification?

Thanks for all the welcomes!

Well, my worst habit is those dratted ............


I overuse them all the time.


Oops, so maybe I overuse italics sometimes as well.


Honestly, my username is part of a quote from my favorite classic YA author. It's from "Emily's Quest" by Lucy Maud Montgomery. (She's the author of 'Anne of Green Gables'). There's a character in that series, a crotchety teacher named Mr. Carpenter, whom is always harassing the heroine over her overuse of italics in her writing.


Kristin.... who thinks is another adorable smiley on here!
