About Me

I am a 42 year old 80s baby! I love peace signs, vintage trolls, Christmas, hot air balloons, stickers, glitter, snail mail, taking pictures, sharpies, my iPhone, unicorns, stickers, 80s music, rainbows, Lisa Frank, Prince, gumball machines, carnival things, 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 an 13 year old mini-me (B) who loves to get mail. She collects key chains and bouncy balls. She's also a Girl Scout. I am the leader of a Cadette troop of 7 amazing girls! We are 9 years in and love it!

I mainly host and join sticker swaps. I LOVE stickers and I always share with B!

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 finished Game of Thrones. (Obsessed!) I am late to the Harry Potter scene, but am now obsessed with it too. #sortedintoRavenclaw And the latest is Schitt's Creek and Umbrella Academy! And my gosh, Stranger Things...THE BEST! I also love the Witcher and Hoarders.

Sticker Wishlist

-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.

Random Facts About Me

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 have 23 tattoos, including 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! (Check out my instagram page @thegrantgirl I have a long list of more that I want - including a jack-o-lantern, a bat, a troll, etc. I am working on getting my forearms filled in to half sleeves.

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.

Favorite Crafts

Bible Art Journaling

Smashbooking/junk journaling

Dream Catchers

Bow-Making (hair, floral and package/gift)

Random watercoloring and acrylic painting

Anything involving glitter

I also make fun planner charms, etc.

Avoid and Dislikes...

I am not generally that picky, but I do like to see dislikes on some profiles. I do not have many, but here's my list of non-preferred stuff:

-Disney, cartoon, superhero stuff, princess stuff

-Overly childish unicorns

-Beauty samples

-Sticker Flakes, foam stickers, baby/maternity/wedding stickers, alphabet stickers (unless they are cool), reward stickers

-Cut out stickers or cut sticker sheets. (unless swap says they are ok)

-Perfume, candles, other scented stuff

-Paper ephemera, scraps, and trinkets in themes not listed above

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

LaurenPappas on Sep 21, 2017:

Thank you so much for the AWESOME envelope of goodies you sent to "angel" the bad swap. I wont lie those Lisa Frank stickers might not get shared with the kiddos, those took me RIGHT back to childhood haha. I loved all the stickers. Thanks so much.
