Contest Poll :D

Hello!

WELL!... That was a whole lot harder than I had anticipated! There were SO many incredible responses and my initial favorites folder had about 90 or so submissions in them.

It took awhile, but the captive and I whittled it down to these four (which was painful). This is my first attempt at having a patron come stay and if all goes well (and everyone lives to see sunrise) I plan to do more of this on an incrementally larger scale

Thank you so much for participating and for helping pick the winner below!

On a side note: The dress form is nearly done, so I'll see you very soon...

-Christine

Entry A

Project you'd like to do together:

I'd love to make some bats to hang up in my apartment year round

What makes you feel at-home when visiting someone else:

I feel most at home in another person's house when they are comfortable enough to be themselves

How I'd dispose of a body:

I feed all my bodies to my dogs; waste not, want not... and it's cheaper than kibble

Entry B

Project you'd like to do together:

I'd love to go thrift/ antique hunting with you and Christine-ify one of our findings

What makes you feel at-home when visiting someone else:

Personal touches (fun treats on the bedside table) and furry babies make me feel right at home

How I'd dispose of a body:

I'd seduce a grave digger and convince him to bury the body for me... then 'Oops!, maybe he'll fall in too ;)

Entry C

Project you'd like to do together:

Create an old self Portrait where the eyes slide to the side, so you can peer through!

What makes you feel at-home when visiting someone else:

Having wonderfully creative cocktails, an abundance of chips and dips and pure laughter from the stories we share.

How I'd dispose of a body:

The joke in my house is if my husband goes missing, they'll know who did it... I'm a forensic Anthropologist

Entry D

Project you'd like to do together:

Making restraints for our captives

What makes you feel at-home when visiting someone else:

The smell of pie in the oven

How I'd dispose of a body:

I cannot reveal; it's been seven years and I'm still walking free ;)

Comments

B and C Both sound awesome! Would love it if the runner up is also featured in a future video later down the road.

Selene

I vote for C -great project for everyone. Are going to film it - I would love a video tutorial for this project. It reminds me of the Mexican soap operas I used to watch in the 1980's.

Cheryl Kirkpatrick

I have to say, the answers to question number three were so good, across the board, that we now lock our doors at night.

Judy K. Zamlen-Spotts

omg you just made my day Christine!!!!! 💗☠️🤣

Emily Masterson

Seriously Emily, your body disposal method made me cackle! 'Buried in the term and conditions' :D

Christine McConnell

I don’t know how you narrowed it down, Christine. I’m struggling to vote for just one 😂

Talesha Hogan

I liked C the best. In fact, it’s such a good idea, I think I’ll do it myself!

Allan Linehan

Entry B got me so good! I love the spooky thrifting idea, and they seem like a good time!

Aldo Cruz

Everyone who made the cut sounds like great company, but C's project idea was brilliant!

Nikki

D - smell of pie in the oven got me.

Cynthia Weaver

Im sure you did!! In an alternate universe i won too! Because i had the same feeling! Im sure we will have other chances!

Zayda Gonzalez

I voted for B. I want to see the vintage store visit and findings.

Ericka Thompson

Can we know who got honorable mention???

Emily Masterson

Sad mine didn’t make it, but C all the way!!

Emily Masterson

I voted C for the Forensic Pathologist. Christine would get such a kick out of picking her brain! So it would be a sort of reward for Christine🤪.

Gwyn Ronsick

C needs to win ♥️

Chloee ✨

B sounds perfect to me !

Charlotte Sandodden

Amazing entries!! 😁😂

Brieann Chapple

I "C" good things a brewin' with this magical combo of minds and personalities!

Wednesday

B had me at "seduce a grave digger"

Margie

Definitely C! Love the project idea :)

Leah with a cup of teah

great picks for the top 4, although, i'd LOVE to see some of your considerable mentions!

Oh boy, it's Kate!

Christine-ifying is definitely going to be the new crafting verb in our house!

Cera Crowley

Love these, you picked some good ones!

Suzanne Robinson

This was hard with just the 4 compared to what you had to sort through. They are all good but kept going back to C.

Kim Geoffroy

C'mon D! These answers even _sound_ like Christine.

cici koenig

Same! I was hoping hoping hoping to get selected.

Ashley Bratrude

Quick question and hopefully this is ok... I'm looking to reno an old house here in MN and looking for a partner in crime. I'd love to do similar content as this is my talent as well. Could I have any females interested email me? dianaluna9@gmail.com. If this isn't ok, please feel free to take down. Just thought you all would be my type of people and would be interested and doing a similar thing. I found a little gem here and looking for a new start after a car accident left me unable to work my 12 year career working for Veterans. Ready for a new start and to display my collection of work! I have 3 cats so felines can't be an issue and must be from US.

Diana Luna

Christine-ifying antiques/thrifted items won it for me as I would also love that. Best of luck to all in the running!!

Melissa

It's so close between A and B for me. I love the idea of making year-round bats and the person seems really awesome. However, upcycling a thrift find is excellent on so many levels! I'd invite either of those people over to get creepy crafty! <3

Anna McCambridge

So tough. My favorite ideas are from different entries...I especially like A: "when they are comfortable enough to be themselves" and B:"Christineifying an antique", but really, they all have great ideas.

Christine Basile

This was so difficult! I can even begin to imagine how hard it must have been to choose even these 4!

Latara Sydnor

Good luck to the witty top 4!

Leah Montes

All so clever!

Anne Uzelac

It was sooo hard for me to choose! I equally love B and D.

Mandi

This is so fun! Hope I make the cut next time 🔪 ✂️ 🗡 ⚔️

Clairomancy

You know my type, mom...but ultimately Pumpkin Latte deodorant seals the deal 🎃👓

Katherine

no, you seduce the crypt keeper ... lol

Margie

So hard to choose between A and C!

Michelle Hall

Make bats for sure!

Awen (Ah-when) Waters

Entry B

Mona Ann Clee

B for Gravedigger seduction 🕸💘🕸

Katherine

Entry C! I want that portrait!

Stassia H

They were all terrific. I chose C because I want to do that craft with the portrait eyes.

Evelyn McElroy

Oh, so hard to choose! Best of luck to everyone!

Michelle Liotta

All are wonderful options!

Linda Olbourne

Same lol

Diana Vega

Loved all the responses. Good luck to all! 🖤

Jacqueline Lara

I'm with Entry C on the painting with eyes that slide, that would be amazing to see come together!

Stephanie Ervin

I had this feeling that I would win. Maybe I did in an alternate universe. I am still available should you need a backup!

Teri Sutton

"Seducing a gravedigger" won it for me! lol

Katie Stapko

I really like them all too, I love the thrift hunting idea especially

Meagan Sharman

I had to go with "B". Antique hunting with Christine, finding something to spookily Christine up, then going back to her creepy mansion, would be a to die for epic moment in my life that I would never ever ever forget!

Annalise

B! I'd love to see you go antique/thrift hunting and the magic you can make with whatever you can find.

kirsten morrella

I like how A said they feel most comfortable when their host feels free to be themselves. Very gracious!

Ronda Borgen

I love the all year round bats!!! I know you will have a scream with a forensic anthropologist, I'm nerding out just thinking of it!!!! Wish I was a bat in your belfry that weekend!!!!

Killian Kincaide

I love how D said she still walking free ahahhahaha

Corinna

I love seeing everyone's spooky creativity! :) What a super fun contest. The cut out eyes painting idea is brilliant (it makes me think of Scooby Doo)! I wish I could post a picture of an original Margaret Keane (big eyes) painting that I found at a vintage shop in Santa Barbara (it even had Margaret's husband listed as the artist still...this is why I suspect it was an original)! It would have been PERFECT for a cut out eyes project. It was only listed for a few hundred bucks. I should have bought it, but I'm a sensitive and I knew it definitely had energy so I left it there for someone else to enjoy! :) Also thrifting and antique hunting....yes please!

Jenny McKinsey

B and C were almost a near tie! I really want to see the shops you'd go to and Christinify'ing, but also I kind of need a portrait with eye portals / portholes ;-D

Brenna P

I love the project from Entry C and she sounds like a very interesting guest.

Judy Siettmann

I love B!

Rochelle

I wish it was me 😂

Samantha Gerard

C

Mononoke Adams

I like elements from all! I also really liked the second question, Christine!

Audrey Coggins

C for me!

Susan

Congratulations to all 4 finalists!! Can't wait to live vicariously through one of you. :)

Racheal Jones

Christine could totally handle Dexter.

Racheal Jones

A or C but I chose A

Lindsey

I didn’t respond for that reason! Cheers to the other awkward kids in class!

Rez NYC

Entry C is shitting their pants right now! 😂

Rez NYC

I bet he/she has some great ideas on how to get rid of a body. Not to mention some professional privileges.. wink wink

Margie

Christine, you should publish all the ones that made it into the folder. I'd love to see more of these great responses! (And get new ideas about body disposal.)

Jo Braun

Yes, Ayla...there will be another opportunity **hug**

Sherrie Potgieter

Congratulations to the lucky finalists!!! Love the moving eye portrait idea and who better to get rid of a body than someone who has a degree in it 😉😉😉

A. Cotton

What a curious community of creatives we have 🥀 🪦❤️

Lauren Whitworth

Had to go with the forensic anthropologist making side eyeing portraits with you. I'm wishing it was my entry, but since it cannot be, I'm going with C!

Melanie Parker

I love the idea of a portrait with eye holes. How fun!!!!

Virginia Bernotas Fremarek Lempa

Congratulations!!! What great responses!! I loved Cs project i want one in my home.

Zayda Gonzalez

B

Gail J Marmet

✅ Totally Christine’s version of a “background check!”

Bryan Yu

It must’ve been hard picking activities not knowing what the person’s skill level was! I feel like my entry wasn’t exactly an easy project (sewing), but I never mentioned I already knew how to sew! Oops! 😂 Best of luck to the finalists! 🦇✨

Alyssa Epstein

My goodness! Sandra you’re right! It was totally that Wonka Bar feeing 🍫

Bryan Yu

I like this methodology. I’m rooting for the fantastic four!! Make us look good 😬

Bryan Yu

Wow! That WAS tuff!🥵

Amanda Obeng

Congratulations to the chosen few! Good luck! ✨🖤🕯🖤✨

Christina Smith

I was wondering what was missing. We haven't had a livestream! :)

Sufani Garza

Same! Maybe she will do that for an episode in future. :)

Melissa Stevenson

I immediately picked B and wished I had thought that! Congrats to whoever wins indeed!

Rose

This winners experience should definitely be a future episode!

Tabatha Redar

Me too! I would love to see the places she would pick I hope either way she films it so we can see all the fun!

Kiya Pasley

I like A’s answer for being comfy in another persons house. Knowing that they are comfortable enough to be themselves is important. I know I want people to understand that I will most likely be in my pajamas and that’s ok😉 They can also be in their pjs. I definitely think we should be less judgmental.

Krystal King

D for me; the wit!

Kimberly Olson

Oh no 😢 there will be other opportunities. Cheer up :D

Sandra

I picked B because antique hunting with you is the perfect answer. I hope you make a video of that either way. Congrats to whoever wins!

Dominique Kupersmith

Looking forward to the winner

Megg Sohn

My hart is a bit broken

Ayla Nolen

There's all great but had to go w one

Jeanne R

Forensic Anthropologist for the win!!

Kelly Anderson

I was going to initially vote for c but when I read D it had me rolling on the floor 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

KETURAH powell

I love B’s answer to the last question 😂🙌🙌 that one sold me. Good luck! I’m suuuuuuper jealous. Does anyone know if we can turn on notifications on here? I don’t want to miss the next one

Ashley Lucero

So torn. For me, I like the antiquing idea of B, but for.you, the chance to hang out and befriend an forensic anthropologist!! Had to vote for them, for you.

Alexia Wilson

‼️TOP 4 UNITE! 💯 Invite each other‼️

Bryan Yu

Jennifer Treviño

This was so much fun...., I could never have picked out the winner, they were all so creative. And I guess that's what we love most about Christine, the inspiration, creativity and imagination. We are all Christine McConnell mini-me's!

Judy K. Zamlen-Spotts

I second Rūta… I think there was a sheer panic relief that I didn’t make the cut! 😮‍💨 I’d be a nervous/awkward wreck and she’d have to keep me in the basement! 🤪

Bryan Yu

I could definitely see myself in B's shoes. Congrats and good luck!

Amanda Arnold

Congrats to the top 4! It was so hard to vote for just one! I couldn't imagine having to narrow down from all the entries!

Bonnie Coniguliaro

That eye portrait needs to happen either way.

Gincredible

Colleen Diane Sakane

Yes! That is a great idea! I’d love see all of your favorites Christine, that would make a fun casual episode or live stream. Post the responses a little at a time for us to see or talk about which ones would make great future episodes in the next live stream. I’m glad the anticipation is over! I was dreaming I’d be Charlie in Willy Wonka! Oh well.

Sandra Martinez

I demand to know who made the top 90 folder 😁 also, thank goodness I did not make it to the ‘finals’, I can live in peace now. Otherwise I’d just be freaking out all the time 🤪

Holly Bentley

I really love when the hosts and the guests are comfortable to just be themselves. That makes for a good time.

Jenetta Michelle Lacayo

All 3 questions were fun, but ultimately my vote goes to the project I found the most interesting in case it becomes an episode. C sounded the most unique and interesting to me, but best of luck to everyone.
