December Giveaway Contest!!!

Hello!! So Summer Barnes had a great suggestion for how we can all share the results of our bake-along next Sunday... Creating an Instagram hashtag for everyone to use! This also inspired a contest idea!!

Whoever comes up with the funniest hashtag for this page will receive a prize!

...What is the prize? Well, for 2019 I offered a $100 tier here on Patreon and after working overtime trying to pull that off, I realized I'm only set up to do that once! So I've retired the tier and w...

The New York House...

So crackers! I flew with my Mom to that incredible property in Auburn New York because It just seemed so perfect and I couldn't stop thinking about it...

Well shoot...it's got a little more damage than I was anticipating and my Mom (who's usually up for just about any challenge) was worried about privacy and safety as it is right in the middle of the city ':/

The house is insanely beautiful, with ornate gothic wood and metal work and so much potential. I just was doing the ma...

I made an offer :D

So I mentioned that I've been looking for an inexpensive victorian house back east and many of you brought this one to my attention yesterday when it was posted on cheapoldhouses instagram page! (Thank you by the way)

Realistically, I think my chances are VERY slim on getting it, as there has been a lot of excitement over it online, but I guess if you don't try, you never know :D

I want you all to be involved in this exciting search, as it is YOU who are making this possible for m...

Idea's for the giveaway :D

So for a giveaway to be legal in California, it's required to be won by a skill and not chance.  Here are a couple options for how we can deal with this in the future :D I'll use the option with the most votes for this next one, but am always up for trying something different :D 

Honestly, I like a drawing the most because it's super fair and there's no hurt feelings, but what can you do? :P If you don't care for any of these options and have an idea for something I haven...

Ok! I think I have the kinks worked out and we are good to go for today's livestream! I'll be asking the trivia question for the Bat-Cage in the livestream about 10-15 minutes in :D

Can't wait to see you soon and again I apologize for yesterday's fiasco ;)

Oh! Also, make sure to type in your answers to the question in the livestream and not in this Patreon post, so I can easily find who answered correctly first  :D

Livestream update :D

Well... that was a disaster ;P I am so sorry for the delay, I tried a YouTube stream and don't think it meshed well with the internet in the mountain area where I live.

So let's do the same time tomorrow 6:30 PM Pacific Time and I'll have it sorted by then :D I can't tell you how much I appreciate your patience with me as I figure this stuff out :))

The livestream will be at 6:30 PM PST Monday September 30th and I will give plenty of advance notice before it goes live

The question will be pop culture related and no...
