How I got my screen name: My mother's name was Carolyn, and my aunt's (my father's sister) is Carrie Joyce. My aunt Joyce's birthday is one day before mine. I think Karen is a sort of phonetic compromise between Carrie and Carolyn - my name is Karen Joyce.
The avatar photo is somewhat dated, but apparently it works, as some members recognized me at the picnic. :smile-new:
It's been several years since I created a screen name. I suppose I do use "GirlGeek" on Ravelry, but it seems a bit silly now.
