NYC, NY Newbies: Introduce yourself here :-)

I'm creating this thread for the new people out there that might want to introduce themselves Please tell us a little about yourself, what got you started on your love of Star Wars, your hobbies outside of SW, and maybe a photo No need to give your age if you don't want to, I know some people are shy about that

I'll start out with a little about me, your friendly neighborhood CR

My name is Kristin, people call me Kris I love Star Wars, so much that I have more costumes than probably real wardrobe lol. I met my wonderful husband because of MEPA, and think without him I'd still be stuck in PA. I'm a bit of a shutterbug, love to sew, cook, and make jewelry (check out my itsy bitsy Etsy shop in my signature). I have two 'children' (cats) named Pippin and Leia. My love for SW has been with my for as long as I can remember, it only recently took off with the re-release of the OT (ewwww Special Edition) and TPM really made my love of SW spike.

Here's what I look like Yes that is in Times Square
