| Introduction | My name is Katy Kristin. My hero is Pippi Longstocking. Even though I collect too much stuff for my own good, I'm inspired to create still more stuff: whimsical dolls and plushies, art, jewelry, clothes and more. I think I believe in Bigfoot, but I only kinda think I believe in Nessie. Someday I hope to live in a treehouse - a BIG treehouse. |

Bigfoot, Yeti, Loch Ness Monster, other people's art, weird or cute Playmobil toy sets, Legoes, foresty things like deer, acorns, squirrels, and trees, sock monkeys, cute and odd figurines, vintage sheet music with cool graphics, really old postcards and greeting cards, Halloween stuff, dressing in costumes, traveling all over, hiking, snorkeling in warmish water with cool fish and wildlife, making all kinds of things, playing bass even though I never get a chance to anymore, eating french fries and artichokes and dark chocolate, I'm sure there is more |
