Contest Poll :D

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

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

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

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.

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

Comments
Selene
B and C Both sound awesome! Would love it if the runner up is also featured in a future video later down the road.
Cheryl Kirkpatrick
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.
Judy K. Zamlen-Spotts
I have to say, the answers to question number three were so good, across the board, that we now lock our doors at night.
Emily Masterson
omg you just made my day Christine!!!!! 💗☠️🤣
Christine McConnell
Seriously Emily, your body disposal method made me cackle! 'Buried in the term and conditions' :D
Talesha Hogan
I don’t know how you narrowed it down, Christine. I’m struggling to vote for just one 😂
Allan Linehan
I liked C the best. In fact, it’s such a good idea, I think I’ll do it myself!
Aldo Cruz
Entry B got me so good! I love the spooky thrifting idea, and they seem like a good time!
Nikki
Everyone who made the cut sounds like great company, but C's project idea was brilliant!
Cynthia Weaver
D - smell of pie in the oven got me.
Zayda Gonzalez
Im sure you did!! In an alternate universe i won too! Because i had the same feeling! Im sure we will have other chances!
Ericka Thompson
I voted for B. I want to see the vintage store visit and findings.
Emily Masterson
Can we know who got honorable mention???
Emily Masterson
Sad mine didn’t make it, but C all the way!!
Gwyn Ronsick
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🤪.
Chloee ✨
C needs to win ♥️
Charlotte Sandodden
B sounds perfect to me !
Brieann Chapple
Amazing entries!! 😁😂
Wednesday
I "C" good things a brewin' with this magical combo of minds and personalities!
Margie
B had me at "seduce a grave digger"
Leah with a cup of teah
Definitely C! Love the project idea :)
Oh boy, it's Kate!
great picks for the top 4, although, i'd LOVE to see some of your considerable mentions!
Cera Crowley
Christine-ifying is definitely going to be the new crafting verb in our house!
Suzanne Robinson
Love these, you picked some good ones!
Kim Geoffroy
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.
cici koenig
C'mon D! These answers even _sound_ like Christine.
Ashley Bratrude
Same! I was hoping hoping hoping to get selected.
Diana Luna
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.
Melissa
Christine-ifying antiques/thrifted items won it for me as I would also love that. Best of luck to all in the running!!
Anna McCambridge
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
Christine Basile
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.
Latara Sydnor
This was so difficult! I can even begin to imagine how hard it must have been to choose even these 4!
Leah Montes
Good luck to the witty top 4!
Anne Uzelac
All so clever!
Mandi
It was sooo hard for me to choose! I equally love B and D.
Clairomancy
This is so fun! Hope I make the cut next time 🔪 ✂️ 🗡 ⚔️
Katherine
You know my type, mom...but ultimately Pumpkin Latte deodorant seals the deal 🎃👓
Margie
no, you seduce the crypt keeper ... lol
Michelle Hall
So hard to choose between A and C!
Awen (Ah-when) Waters
Make bats for sure!
Mona Ann Clee
Entry B
Katherine
B for Gravedigger seduction 🕸💘🕸
Stassia H
Entry C! I want that portrait!
Evelyn McElroy
They were all terrific. I chose C because I want to do that craft with the portrait eyes.
Michelle Liotta
Oh, so hard to choose! Best of luck to everyone!
Linda Olbourne
All are wonderful options!
Diana Vega
Same lol
Jacqueline Lara
Loved all the responses. Good luck to all! 🖤
Stephanie Ervin
I'm with Entry C on the painting with eyes that slide, that would be amazing to see come together!
Teri Sutton
I had this feeling that I would win. Maybe I did in an alternate universe. I am still available should you need a backup!
Katie Stapko
"Seducing a gravedigger" won it for me! lol
Meagan Sharman
I really like them all too, I love the thrift hunting idea especially
Annalise
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!
kirsten morrella
B! I'd love to see you go antique/thrift hunting and the magic you can make with whatever you can find.
Ronda Borgen
I like how A said they feel most comfortable when their host feels free to be themselves. Very gracious!
Killian Kincaide
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!!!!
Corinna
I love how D said she still walking free ahahhahaha
Jenny McKinsey
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!
Brenna P
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
Judy Siettmann
I love the project from Entry C and she sounds like a very interesting guest.
Rochelle
I love B!
Samantha Gerard
I wish it was me 😂
Mononoke Adams
C
Audrey Coggins
I like elements from all! I also really liked the second question, Christine!
Susan
C for me!
Racheal Jones
Congratulations to all 4 finalists!! Can't wait to live vicariously through one of you. :)
Racheal Jones
Christine could totally handle Dexter.
Lindsey
A or C but I chose A
Rez NYC
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! 😂
Margie
I bet he/she has some great ideas on how to get rid of a body. Not to mention some professional privileges.. wink wink
Jo Braun
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.)
Sherrie Potgieter
Yes, Ayla...there will be another opportunity **hug**
A. Cotton
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 😉😉😉
Lauren Whitworth
What a curious community of creatives we have 🥀 🪦❤️
Melanie Parker
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!
Virginia Bernotas Fremarek Lempa
I love the idea of a portrait with eye holes. How fun!!!!
Zayda Gonzalez
Congratulations!!! What great responses!! I loved Cs project i want one in my home.
Gail J Marmet
B
Bryan Yu
✅ Totally Christine’s version of a “background check!”
Alyssa Epstein
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! 🦇✨
Bryan Yu
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 😬
Amanda Obeng
Wow! That WAS tuff!🥵
Christina Smith
Congratulations to the chosen few! Good luck! ✨🖤🕯🖤✨
Sufani Garza
I was wondering what was missing. We haven't had a livestream! :)
Melissa Stevenson
Same! Maybe she will do that for an episode in future. :)
Rose
I immediately picked B and wished I had thought that! Congrats to whoever wins indeed!
Tabatha Redar
This winners experience should definitely be a future episode!
Kiya Pasley
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!
Krystal King
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.
Kimberly Olson
D for me; the wit!
Sandra
Oh no 😢 there will be other opportunities. Cheer up :D
Dominique Kupersmith
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!
Megg Sohn
Looking forward to the winner
Ayla Nolen
My hart is a bit broken
Jeanne R
There's all great but had to go w one
Laura
Forensic Anthropologist for the win!!

I was going to initially vote for c but when I read D it had me rolling on the floor 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ashley Lucero
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
Alexia Wilson
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.
Bryan Yu
‼️TOP 4 UNITE! 💯 Invite each other‼️
Katherine Bilich

Judy K. Zamlen-Spotts
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!
Bryan Yu
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! 🤪
Amanda Arnold
I could definitely see myself in B's shoes. Congrats and good luck!

Colleen Diane Sakane

Sandra Martinez
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.
Rūta Kavaliauskienė

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.
