I am a 44 year old 80s baby! I love peace signs, vintage trolls, Christmas, hot air balloons, stickers, glitter, snail mail, sharpies, my iPhone, unicorns, stickers, 80s music, rainbows, Lisa Frank, Prince, gumball machines, carnival things, keychains, and vintage / retro stuff. Did I mention stickers? More on that later...

I'm very extra and believe there is never enough glitter and confetti. I carry a zipper pouch of confetti in my purse at all times. #alwaysbeprepared

I have well over 40 tattoos now. All color of course. From Clyde th ghost, to the Tawny Scrawny Lion and a bat holding a disco ball...I'm working on 2 sleeves that will taper up to my shoulders in confetti.

I have several smash books/junk journals. I keep little things I like, quotes, bits of artwork B draws for me, small magazine clippings, photos, prayers, etc.

I love everything about the 80s. I was born in 1980, so I was a little young to really, truly enjoy it. If I could just be "stuck" in a decade but continue aging and living, it would totally be the 80s.

I loved Game of Thrones and Harry Potter and recently I have started in the world of the Cosomere. Brandon Sanderson. He finished Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series and now I'm reading through Mistborn (finished) and the Starlight Archives. (love it so far) Schitt's Creek and Umbrella Academy...Stranger Things...THE BEST! I also love the Witcher and Hoarders.

-Vintage stickers

-Full sheets / mods

-Prism and holographic stickers

-Laser stickers

-Puffy stickers!

-Vending machine stickers (old/vintage)

-Hot air balloon stickers, gumball machine stickers, and rainbow stickers make my heart beat faster! Especially vintage.

-OK, really any stickers (no reward*, word, flakes, or holidays other than Christmas and Halloween, please) I DO collect vintage and modern Halloween stickers!

*I like smiley face and star stickers too!

I don't care for kid/cartoon character stickers either (like dinosaurs, Dora the Explorer, etc.) ~ with the exception of Carebears, Trolls, etc. (anything that's a throwback to the 80s/90s!)

I am always open to private (vintage or new) sticker swaps.

My nickname is CK (really creative, I know)

I just cannot pick a favorite color. Is rainbow a color? What about glitter? Holographic?

Most of my closet is fashion jewelry, not clothes.

I do not like my bare feet touching the floor.

I already mentioned my tattoos... but a few more include a peace sign, an amazing unicorn, 2 nerds (the candy, yes!), the Scrawny Tawny Lion, Clyde the ghost from Pacman, a bee, a disco ball, a gumball machine, a Goonies one, Tetris pieces, a jar of glitter, a rainbow, a Girl Scout trefoil, 2 cardinals, the Color Kittens (Hush and Brush) from the Little Golden Books, and a hot air balloon in honor of my mom! I've recently added a bat, disco ball, a jackolantern, some dice, a cute flowery ghost, a Lisa Frank Painter Panda heart, my two favorite Care Bears (the original peach colored Secret Bear, and Cheer Bear), a neuron a rainbow tiger, a stack of books...a wacky wavy arm man, a troll, and the list goes on.

I collect [hoard] vintage stickers.

I am a bit of a germ-a-phobe, and a little OCD.

I hate putt-putt (mini golf).

I am not easily offended. I like weird.

I am a full-throttle Scorpio

I am a Girl Scout leader.

I love Johnny Depp and all of his sexy weirdness.

-Overly childish unicorns

I would not "rate down" for any of this stuff. I just don't prefer it.
