These new lovelies make up for the moment at my college graduation when the guy who was calling out the names as we accepted our diplomas refused to say my middle name because he thought I had made it up.

    I love the middle name Joy. My aunt (who married into our family) has the middle name Joy, Angela Joy and loved it soo much that she passed it on to both of her daughters. Megan Joy and Taylor Joy. 🙂

    Well that is ridiculous! My sister’s middle name is Joy (after my aunt, and my grandmother). I might use it, too, if I ever have a little girl!

    Beautiful cards! Joy is totally not a made up middle name! Joyce is my middle and my mother-in-laws is Joy. On a side note, my sisters middle name is also Elise =)

    How funny that he would think it made up! My littlest daughter’s middle name is Joy and we think it fits her to a “T” Your name was one of the things that drew me to your blog and etsy shop. I think it’s wonderful.
