New episode coming next week AND a Live stream craft-along this Sunday the 29th at 10:00AM (EST)

Hello!!

I hope you've all been well! This Sunday (the 29th at 10:00AM EST) We're doing a unique Bow making/ Gift decorating craft along!

I've been a little quiet lately as I've been prepping everything shipping out to the higher tiers for Christmas, BUT a new and super useful home crafting episode of 'From the Mind...' will be posted the first week of December! :D (I've updated this post as the episode is taking longer to complete.  A separate episode for the month of December will still be coming later in the month :))

Have an amazing week and I'll see you very soon...

-Christine

Things you'll need for the livestream:

A standard paper wrapped gift ready to be decorated (solid/No pattern paper will be ideal for this)

Double sided tape

Ribbon (mine will be 2" wide)

Needle and thread that matches ribbon

Scissors

Acrylic paint

Art brushes

Love it when she responds. It makes one feel connected ♥️

Crystal Mejia

An Italian currently in Hong Kong after 14 years in NY!

Alessandra Di Croce

YES to Clue themed murder mystery party!

VStreet

I didn't get to watch it live, but I'm just here to say that Clue is one of my favorite movies of all time! The presents (weapons) in that movie are in black boxes with purple ribbon. SO ELEGANT. Also, can I help you plan a Clue themed murder mystery party?!

Jennifer Treviño

I love reading all your comments. It is so refreshing and rare that I can scroll through comments on all her posts and feel confident that there won’t be negativity. I love that her art and creativity can bring all of us strangers together. :)

Joanne Surette

Black matte paper and a black satin ribbon :))

Christine McConnell

So excited for tomorrow!!!

Megan

What color scheme are you using for this craft along Christine? 🖤💜🖤💜

Danielle Gutierrez

Yes it does. Hope you can be able to tune in.

April Brockman

Hi, I'm new to this and would like to know if the craft along streams here on Patreon?

All different kinds will work, but I really like satin :))

Christine McConnell

If you scroll back up to the top there are two tabs: Posts and My Membership. You can view your current benefits and expand on other tiers. :)

Gretchen Martin

Thank you for doing this on a Sunday! With two jobs, it's my ONE day off. I also just consolidated my painting supplies and this would be a perfect way to finally use them.

Gretchen Martin

What kind of ribbon do you recommend (since I need to go buy it anyway)? Organdy, Satin, Grosgrain? Wired, not wired?

Lady Barronmore

Ditto.

Lady Barronmore

The info is at the profile page

Sarah Cortez

Do you have plans to do a photography episode?

Desiree Coon

I was just about to ask the same thing!

Lauren Gamel McNeely

Can you remind us of the Patreon levels and what you get? I think I might need an upgrade!

Peggy Tucker Ortega

So excited

Julie Jamison

Yay, 3pm in the UK - perfect! I love it when I can watch live 🥰

Sarah Campbell

Cant wait for this! I'm so thrilled!

Yes! I am in need of some present decorating ideas! This is perfect!! Thank you Christine, cant wait to see you 💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤

Danielle Gutierrez

Wonderful! Cannot wait! I am not getting up at 2am but I’ll enjoy it when I wake up, so excited!

Lauren Elizabeth Burns

So fun! Can’t wait!

Casey Urban

Last year, I had pink & white candy stripes, with lime ribbon. That made me happy; like a Tropical Carnival!

Mardi Shakti

7am for me... Perfect excuse to stay in bed a little longer (with some hot chocolate) and a little early morning inspiration! Can't wait!

Kelsey Gleason

👍I thought something along that was the case but when I tried to explain the set up of public "From the Mind.." and Patreon they sited no Oct video. Thanks for confirming!

Angela Pogue

Can't wait!!

Brenda Hunt

Fun! How long does the ribbon need to be? And I've been imagining you guys stuffing Christmas cards assembly-line style trying to get all of that done on time! I hope you retire the tiers that require you to hand-make and send stuff - it's sweet to want to, but you don't have time for that!

Aunt Debbie Halloween

Wow! I love that theme idea!

Hope Ohana

She said before the move actually happened that there would be a monthly Patreon video for sure and, if time allowed, a public video.

Nicholas Frig

I'm SO super excited! And I think everyone understands what's involved in moving into a new house. It all takes more time. No pressure, whatsoever from this upper tier friend. We all want you both happy and healthy 🌞.

Hope Ohana

I am so ready for this!!

Marina salinas

We can upload pictures on the discord tho

Genevieve Fernety

7 am my time. I will set my alarm. ⏰

Angela Howard

Ilse marissa Hofmeester

Elisa Persiano

Mandy Spitzer

I'm excited to see what we will create!

Sarah Beth K

Can't wait, this will be my first live stream :)

Rebecca Poplewska

So excited!! 🖤🖤🖤

Claudia Garcia

Was there no public video for October? YouTube channel shows the last public video being the trip to NY. Asking for a friend ;)

Angela Pogue

Cant wait! 💗

Lorraine Donaldson

Unfortunantly I think il be at work (I'm from the UK) so will look forward to watching it later in the day x

Roada Hawse

2AM, Melbourne time. Lol My preferred hours, but my sleep is unpredictable...! I LOVE WRAPPING. Each year, I always have a theme. This year, it's Black paper, with Amber ribbon. I don't have enough people in my life, these days, however; just one present under my table-top tree! We can't upload pics, here... that's so 2002!

Mardi Shakti

Ooooo yay! I can actually aquire all those crafts items this time :D i watch them all anyway but i can do it tooooo

Amy Watler-Thomas

I’m so happy to hear from you! I can’t wait for all of the surprises! I can’t wait for the new episodes! 😍🎄

Sandra Martinez

I was a bit worried as well. Glad she is doing good.

Dave

I think I'm actually going to try this. I'm usually no good at painting but I'd like to improve upon that.

Riona O'Faoladh

Made my day!

Dave

I’m so excited!!! I can’t wait to join my first live stream!!!! Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Kandice Tanner

Did we have to subscribe to the gift tier this month in order to receive a Christmas card??

Cecilia

Let the record show, I was not worried. Been so busy I forgot about November’s video. thought the scarecrow was for November lol what a nice surprise ❤️

Scribby Scribner

I'll have to try to remember to look you up if I need repairs! I'm a violinist. ;-)

Clare Buswell

Can't wait. Wonderful to hear from you!!

Jennifer Edwards

Was getting worried too, but thinking you were all trying to get more settled in your new fabulous home. Very excited! Looking forward to learning new ways to wrap presents! XOX

Oaknwichlane June G

I make and repair violin bows for a living so I was so excited when you said it was a bow-making craft-along! 😂. I’m excited for this, I love wrapping gifts 😊

Brieann Chapple

So excited!

Rachel Forrest

Glad you’re ok - honestly I was a bit worried! Excited for a new vid and craft along - happy holidays! 💜
