      Alyas Vlogs the FIRST episode wasn’t the strongest, that’s the only thing I can think of. I watched the 2nd episode easily 8 times, and tell most people to skip to the second one, and if they like it go back and watch the first.

      Basically Netflix realized that most people only watch the first season or two of a show so they're pretty quick to axe a show by season 3,even if it does really well. Just corporate cost benefit BS. IMO,the show definitely deserves at least a few seasons.

    Omigosh Christine.... you absolutely must be cut from a different sort of cloth than most ... like a heavy tufted hand embroidered brocade with golden threads and angel dust.... seriously, you are one of THE MOST AMAZING people I have ever borne witness to.... I have to remind myself to breath while watching your endeavors which just in and of themselves are utterly amazing and so full of talent, grace and beauty but then on top of all that, beautifully shot and produced in a manner to rival major studios... I’m literally spellbound...

    I remember my tour of the Winchester Mystery house, and my favorite piece of advice that still applies my every day life is,
    "You have to go up to go up to go up, you have to go up to go down to go down, you have to go down to go up to go up and you have to go down to go down to go down" I know the house was designed to confuse vengeful spirits, but I felt nothing but peace and joy when I visited the house. I own a tour book of the house and the memories are cemented in my mind.
    And I love your 1950s Era kitchen, your clothing choices in that dress was stunning, you have wicked mad skills in crafts, you have earned a sub from me in this episode.

    I've seen replicas and models of the Winchester mansion before but honestly? this one might be my favorite that I've seen because it has closest to what I imagine the original structure looked like before it was partially destroyed. also I frickin love gingerbread so that adds bonus points too. I cant even imagine how much time went into this project but it really shows the same care and effort you put into everything you create.
