Love the story of your name. I was wondering if it was German, but it's from Belgium. I had a sister in law named Jutta, and she was German. (she recently passed away - but I loved her!) Your name is still unique here!
love the journaling! amazing what we learn when we have to meet a scrap challenge (why we were named what we were... that one I know but I've had to ask my parents for some other challenges and learned lots!
DLynch's "Scrap Your Name" challenge and Pammy's "Clear" challenge. Having so much fun with this one! I made my own overlay using transparencies from an office supply store. And I found out that Jette is an actual name! (A municipality of Belgium.) Also a word with English origins, meaning "stone." Having so many possiblities for stone, (i.e. gems, amulets, achievement (milestone/stepping stone), punishment (stoning), structures (cornerstone), tributes (headstone), sculptures, strength, a heavy weight to bear, etc...), I approached my dad, who gave me the name, with high expectations for a terrific story. Maybe he saw the name on a map while in the service. Or perhaps he thought of his tiny new baby daughter as a precious gem. So recently I asked him, "Dad, how did I get the name Jette?" "Well," he replied, "your mother had you so fast, we barely made it to the hospital." Oooookaaaaay....so I'm actually named after a form of rapid transportation. Oh well, I still like it!
