Who's That Girl has posted the next challenge: The Name Game. We want to see pages about your nickname, your first name, your last name... you get the deal.
Here is my page about the nickname my hubby calls me—Schoonie.
And with my name being Diana, I bet you are wondering how on earth he came up with the name Schoonie. So here's the story:
In 2001, hubby and I both worked for Infinity Radio in Rochester. We were supposed to walk in the St. Patrick's Day parade as part of the station group, but it was snowing so hard we ditched it.
We started driving east of the city and ended up more than an hour away in a town called Canandaigua. It is a beautiful, lakeside town that is part of the Fingerlakes. We stopped to eat lunch at a diner called Schooners. (See the connection now?)
Back when we were dating, my husband thought it was cute to walk up to me when we'd pass in the halls of the radio station and whisper, "So what's your name?" As we were leaving the diner after lunch and heading to the car, he leaned over and said, "So, what's your name." Being cheeky, I replied, "Schoonie," because of the name of the diner.
Now, nearly a decade later, I am still Schoonie. Daily texts and notes hubby leaves me all say Schoonie. He rarely, if ever, calls me Diana.
And that is my Schoonie story. By the way, I call him Bubba P., but that is a story for another day!
Supplies: Patterned paper (Webster Pages), Flowers (Prima), Pins (Maya Road), Pearls (Prima), Chipboard Letters (Thickers)
