Deedah's Designs: the inspiration behind the name

When my oldest nephew was a baby, I babysat him on a fairly regular basis. My brother worked full time and my sister-in-law was in school. I had recently graduated from college and didn't have a regular job, so I had the opportunity to get to spend several days a week with baby J for about four months. I adored this time with him. As the first grandchild in the family, he was a bit spoiled (in a good way) and was absolutely adorable. As he was learning how to talk, he couldn't pronounce my name, Lisa, but instead called me Deedah. It was adorable. I tried on occasion to teach him to say my name correctly, but Deedah had already stuck. So, from that point on, I became Aunt Deedah. It is a title I have become quite fond of over the years, and I will always be glad to answer to it.
