Design Happens : Freebie Fridays: Eco Water Bottles

Sat, 6 Feb 2010 01:23:31 +0000

What a great concept!! Imagine having enough water bottles to get me through the work week. I am one of those people who buy water by the case to make it easy to transport. I've never found a water bottle that substitutes easily. This would be great to have one for each day. Can't get much easier than that!!

HGTV Dream Home : The Best HGTV Dream Home Videos

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 01:10:57 +0000

Right on!!! Extra entries are always at the top of my wish list. Also, could we get an extra entry for every good suggestion we make? I need more entries...one a day just isn't enough :o( Coop, you should be awarded the extra entry just for being able to recite the commercial, don't ya think?

HGTV Dream Home : Drape It Like Woodrum

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 01:00:16 +0000

Welcome Back, Mary!! Missed your teases about your latest trip to the DH. Been waiting to hear the newest news. Upon seeing the new pix, my first thought was: " My goodness - she must only be about three feet tall!!!!" Never thought about the doors being large. Whew --glad that was a response. Are the other doors that tall? Now, fill us in on the other things you learned in this trip....any new answers to all the questions on the blogs? I've decided that they should cut off entries on Friday, Jan 22. Then my chances of winning are much improved. Could you please consider that? I think it's a great suggestion. More photos and news please! I'm still having fun and I'm still the one (to win, that is!!)

HGTV Dream Home : But Where's The Grocery Store?

Hey there! Since it seems to come up so often and people don't always know where to go for info on this gated community, here is a website that I found that has numerous links to details about the property. Hope it helps. http://www.sanpedrocreek-overlook.com/san_pedro_o...

Mary, I'm so excited that you read the blogs. Sometimes I think they go into a black hole. But you pick up on really good questions that have not been asked a hundred times and answered 120 times. Keep the info coming! The extra details you provide make each of us more excited that ever. Hope one of the bloggers is the winner of this magnificent HGTV DH (p.s. what additional info do you need from me in order to write that big check?!??) Having fun and lots of it!

Trixie - Plot it is NOT. The LOT size is about 3 acres. The comment is for fun, but a plot makes my mind jump to a cemetary. Anyway, there is anough space to truly enjoy the Great Outdoors!

Coop - As usual, you can turn something ordinary into fun! 711 would definately be a bad number in this area. Keep up the great comments. Loving your blogs!

HGTV Dream Home : Enter to Win ... Then Help Haiti

Sun, 17 Jan 2010 17:05:07 +0000

Coop, I absolutely, positively watched the show last night. Wouldn't miss it. Jamie does fantastic things with an outdoor space. The transformations are awesome beyond belief. One of my favorites was the one where the girls wanted an Asian-inspired zen type garden. The way in which the area was hidden, then you enter into this beautiful, lush oasis. The wooden architecture and beautiful plantings made me want to visit it over and over again. ____Jamie is my new favorite show and his plans are intense! love his work.

Coop - Must be frightening to feel tremblers of that magnitude with Haiti being the big news event. A New Mexico home probably sounds very good right now. We used to live in Japan and the constant quakes there caused me to live in intense fear. Thankfully we were able to leave with our lives intact and a learning experience behind us. I thought it would be pushing my luck to live in California after that, so I commend you for your stamina and ability to continue being a 'native Californian'. Good thoughts for you. irish

HGTV Dream Home : Enter to Win ... Then Help Haiti

Sat, 16 Jan 2010 19:30:43 +0000

Lessie, you seem to indicate that I was somehow downplaying the purpose of this blog site and don't know why people come here. This is the only site I have ever blogged on and will continue to visit to read the excitement people have for the possibility of winning this fantastic home. I am one of those people! I'm very sorry if I ruffled your feathers, never my intention. I love this site and the conversations on it, from the regulars and the newbies. Please forgive if I've offended. Just writing how I felt re: Haiti, then my comment regarding why we're all here. Still want to win the Dream Home!

Thank you Mary for giving people such an easy option to help the Haitian people in their time of need. I have donated to the Red Cross, but every penny given to a charity in the name of Haiti will benefit them. Watching the pictures on TV absolutely break my heart. How can everybody not want to do their part even in a small way? (Still want to win the Dream Home, though!)

HGTV Dream Home : The Secret of the Shawl ...

Wed, 13 Jan 2010 02:09:47 +0000

Coop - you've done it again. I come home after work just to read what you've posted because I know I'll enjoy it so much!! Anyway, is HGTV paying you under the table, or do you really work for them and we just don't know it. The things you post sometimes make me think you're either a walking/talking billboard for them, OR maybe you've got a photographic memory. Either way, it's GQ so keep it up. I LOVE Dan, but not so hot on Antonio. Thanks for reminding us that there is more to HGTV than just the Dream Home (if we can tear ourselves away long enough to go and check it out). Keep the blogs coming.

Once again, Coop, you've got me in stitches!! "a chicken fajita wrap" - hysterical! If I win the HGTV Dream Home, would you come visit me? (for entertainment purposes) My first party, and you'd be the star - sound good?!?? Maybe we'll have chicken fajita wraps as a treat just for you. Thanks again for making my day fun :o)

HGTV Dream Home : For the Newbies

Sun, 10 Jan 2010 23:38:20 +0000

What a visual!! If that were the case, I would hope it would be televised LIVE!! I'd never stop laughing! Great sense of humor and truly appreciated when these blogs turn so black. Keeps me coming back for more everyday. Thanks for the giggles

Coop - You are really funny! If we're really lucky, we could win the DH AND get the lightning while watching a high desert storm during one of those lovely sunsets (from the sunrise room) LOL

sannb, I've had to do that for 2 days now. Don't know what's up with the site. Maybe too many people are trying to get in on winning my dream home (LOL) !

Hi Dutch! Thanks - hubby will be quite proud of HIS garage if that's the case. I'm still wondering about the info that reneelovesgreen provided re: CC&R's and HOA dues - you know, the nitty gritty details about the community and restrictions. I'm thinking a fence would be an eyesore in that neighborhood and may detract from the lovely views. But, some bloggers want thos details..... Thanks again

I am so excited to see so many exciting blogs and learn more about the DH every day. Reneelovesgreen, I have never been able to get into the SPO site to see the restrictions or possibilities on the homesites. Is there a special address for the site that you could share? You have been full of specifics today and I'm loving it. I think LynnC's suggestion for the fountain was great! Trying to figure out now what kind of 'beverage' bears would like. Hmmmm, maybe something with berries and definately honey! And Gail, could you try to talk Jack into installing some great shelving in the garage? Then my hubby would spend all his time out there and leave the seat in the sunrise room for ME!

HGTV Dream Home : HGTV Dream Home Custom Cocktail

Tammy, I think the whole idea about the bath being all glassed in was to keep the space feeling larger and not so closed in. I guess if it bothers people so much, they could step outside if someone is in there. I actually like the whole glass concept. Make the casita seem shiny and new.

Perfect for me too, Lessie! If you win, can I come visit? I'll reciprocate if I win. The furnishings are comfortable and the exterior is definately New Mexican style (with panache'!) Who could ask for more....
