Nice to meet you.
So why "purplecrayon" when your favorite color is white?
Or maybe you already posted in the thread asking what your user id means.

 

[purplecrayon]

Hi, and thanks for the welcome! "Purplecrayon" was just something that popped into my head (its so frustrating picking a user name when everything you pick is already taken!).
It's supposed to be symbolic for the color of the King. Purple=royalty. and Crayon to represent the "child" of God. Ok, it was a cheesy moment.

And here I thought that "Harold and the Purple Crayon" was one of your favorite books when you were little.
