ENTRY 231
Came across this picture online. Wanted to blog about the nice experience I had in receiving an autographed copy of it.
I was looking for a new Halloween themed baking show to watch and eventually stumbled on Netflix's The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell. I absolutely fell in love with that show for multiple reasons: the campiness, the same style of humor that you'd see in The Addams Family, and of course the DIY goddess herself, Christine.
She's gorgeous and talented and I just loved her from the first episode. She did everything in this show from decorations to baking to sewing, all with a dark theme or undertone. Sadly, Netflix did not renew the show for a second season but I still wanted to know what she was up to. That's when I found out about her new show.
From the Mind of Christine McConnell brings you all of her creations like the show before it, only now she has full creative control and the things this woman does, mind-blowing to say the least. Sweet treats, sewing, make-up, home renovations, photoshop; she literally does it all and she'll walk you through every step. I'm a huge fan of her perspective and creativity.
And I absolutely adore how she incorporated fun characters into From the Mind similar to The Curious Creations. Her husband plays two characters on the show, an undead butler type and a creature she keeps in the basement. I love her style. lol And I love how he just dives right in to help her bring her visions to life. You see him twice in the pic I included from my favorite episode, "Creating a Family Portrait."
I decided to join her Patreon because I'm forever curious, eager, and excited to see what she does next. Had to join the top tier because I wanted access to all her creations and adventures.
Life goes on as normal for a time but then things just got rough and I became very depressed. This was the type of depression that weighs you down with hopelessness. I just wasn't feeling good about life at all.
Unbeknownst to me, when you join Christine's top tier on Patreon, you receive an annual gift. I just focused on the whole full access thing. I had no idea she sends out gifts, and I was about to receive mine.
A couple weeks later, I got a notification that I received a package, which had me heading to the mail suite almost immediately because I didn't order anything and was wondering what it was. I sign for it, the clerk gives me a long white tube, and I leave. I get in my car and take a sec to see who it's from and there it was in big, bold letters:
From: Christine McConnell
I nearly had a heart attack, I was so happy! I had completely forgotten about everything in life that was making me sad and all I could think about was getting home safely so I could open it. My mind was consumed the entire ride home. "Ok, so, long and skinny tube, is it a picture or a poster? What is it?!" Every red light, all I could do was stare at it sitting there the passenger seat.
I get home and open it. There was the picture Christine McConnell made on my favorite episode, freshly autographed with a black sharpie. Of all the things she could send out, this is what I receive. I just sat there holding it, looking at it and smiling as joyful tears ran down my face. It truly is the little things in life that make the biggest impact. The timing couldn't have been better, I really needed that uplift! Nice things like this are a rarity in my life so I can get a little emotional. 馃槵 The grateful kind of emotional though! 馃榿
She included a second picture which of course she looked like a queen, I'll have to find it and add it to the blog, but the family portrait really touched my heart and I cannot wait to find a special frame for it. More thoughts later.

Seriously, go throw money at her please! I loved that Netflix show and they made the horrible decision to cancel her and I NEED MORE!!! She remade a 1970s sofa into an Edwardian masterpiece! And her hostage/cameraman shows me that the show was basically her with Netflix money, and I don鈥檛 need that to be mesmerized watching her make amazing things.
