Special Reminder: Don’t miss our HGTV Dream Home 2009 Giveaway show on Sunday. Can you stand the suspense? Discuss amongst yourselves.
PRERECORDED FOR RATINGS PURPOSES! AWFUL!
They were totally surprised!!! They live in the middle of no where, they were home watching Tv… and not HGTV!!
Christi- It really is a small world isnt it? haha- I do agree the weather is great in California, I was there for a few months and LOVED it! the smell was different than here, but I got used to it.
congrats Cheryl smith! Enjoy your new home.
Who Won??? Is it someone from our Blog?
So then she really was notified/ambushed before today?
But I guess if it was pre-filmed it would be different….
Congrats Cheryl Smith in Florida and may God bless all of you! Don’t give up on God because he is an awesome God. DREAM BIG!
This is terrible.
They were so happy.
Thanks to everyone who kept us informed here on the west coast. . .they should start a “Dream Home” television reality show–it would keep me interested–week by week. . .oh well, next year!? I really love Sonoma though! I hope Cheryl Smith knows how LUCKY she truly is!
what does the area of her home look like?
They just gave her and her hubby the GMC Arcadia suv
Yeah,,, That was awesome…
Did it look like dancing or ice skating on the TV??
No point in even watching at 8pm pst nin California now. And I also know for next year if I don’t hear anything a week prior I am not the winner. Guess that article was also right, the one that said “if you haven’t been notified by now don’t pack your bags…” even though their other points were wrong.
I guess we have to all go back to work tomorrow
Did she seem happy? Last years was a little awkward.
Well CONGRATULATIONS TO SHERYL SMITH FROM FLORIDA!
lovekitty’s inside info was right on the spot! Pre-recorded ambush in Florida! At least I was still hoping until today. It was a fun ride!
LET’S GO GREEN HOME 2009!!
it looked like dancing with stars on there tv
Oh well dear blog buddies, theres still the Green Home contest and the DIY blog Cabin to be won! The blog cabin contest doesnt start until August 20th but the bloggers are very chatty and friendly on that site so come on over and join us!
Congrats Cheryl Smith..it sounds like she did not have a whole lot! I wish her and her husband the best!
Thanks for keeping the information flowing…if everything is true and Cheryl Smith and her husband won – Congratulations and Blessing on your new home!! :^)
Did they say where they’re building the 2010 Dream Home?
Is Cheryl a blogger?
nice looking couple. the show was not a disapointment. they were really happy. didn’t sound like bloggers. ok.. see you all in facebook tomorrow. Best of luck to Sheryl Smith.
Congrats to the winner!!
On the west coast, if you have Comcast, you get it taped delayed at 8:00pm. Not live.
Good luck to all. I hope to see and hear from you soon.
I am so happy for them. The winners of the Dream home, sounds like they deserved it and will live out the rest of thier retirement in luxury. Best wishes to them both!
Delise, what article was that? And who heard about the early notification? Did someone say lovelykitty called it already? Man, that girl knows all the inside scoop!
She was watching Dancing with the Stars on TV which is a Monday night show, so yeah that makes sense
Congrats Cheryl!!! Enjoy
)
I think this lady was totally surprised, the lady that came drove up in the GMC
Congratulations Cheryl, her and her husband were really surprised, they were bare-footed.
You guys are soooo detail oriented! I love how you noticed the tv show she was watching and know that it’s a monday night show. Now we know that it’ll be a week prior or something next year!
Audra M., Marie Miller, everyone – I’m so excited. I made yellow smiley face with out even trying! On the last day, I finally did it.
Hopefully, it will be put on youtube within the hour and then we west coasters can watch it before 8.
Could also have been a commercial of dancing with the stars,
I didn’t want to keep bringing it up, but a message board member already saw the ambush and so I knew it wasn’t going to be live.
Ahd admin quickly took that message off the board LOL
.
Florida…right?
Well the Florida neighbor was right. They do it live, just a week before the actually show. I guess if you haven’t been notified by the day of the show, then you know it wasn’t you.
Good luck to everyone for next years dream home!
Kristy: Good point. hmmmm, i wonder.
4Dewydrops,
You don’t remember I think someone earlier this week posted an article from a NOrthern Cal paper that was supposed to run today but ran online early. Like friday I think. I think so many blooggers complained and ripped them to shreds that they corrected it then took some info down. One of the quotes in the article was something like the winner was notified last week so if you haven’t been visited by a camera crew then it isn’t you. I would like to know who saw the live ambush in Florida, if they were right, and how long ago it was but I don’t remember who said it.
Congrats Cheryl Smith of Lakeland, Fl!!!! I wish you much happinesse!!!!!! Now The DREAM home is over,so now lets focus on the GREEN home!
Yeah, or they could have TIVO/DVRd it, who knows.
A replay of Dancing with the Stars was on last night also. Happy for them – but disappointed for us!
Ok now we know that the ambush was not live like I tried to tell you all earlier in this blog and I was chewed up about it. The winner knew last week or the week of the drawing. HGTV really didn’t do it live. Congrads to the winner!
So close! I live about 1/2 hour from Lakeland. Good for her, though. At least I still got to see a beautiful shuttle launch tonight while waiting for HGTV to surprise me. Good luck next year.
Mary has a new blog started already — wasn’t that fast? Lovelykitty, JandVsmom, Bonnie B, Jenny D, Bonnie, Ingrid, Katydid (are you in CA), — it’s time to start planning the SISBP! It would be sooooo cool if HGTV sponsors this.
They really were not that shocked! I would have fallen out. I think they knew. You are all really GREAT here on the blog. Never posted before, but loved reading your blogs. You are all GREAT!!!! You all have different stories and backgrounds and seem to really enjoy the friendships. You know that all our wants are only an ask away…..We all have angels, waiting for us to ask for their divine guidance and help. They are there for us day and night. If you think this was a dream home…..just wait until the next one that they bring your way that is more perfect for you and your family than the last. It will come just ask your angels()()()()
Audra M. – Can you give me the link to where they got the gymnast sculptures?
Kind of a let down for the West Coast.
Congratulations to Cheryl Smith from Florida!!!
congratulations and best wishes
I can’t wait to see more of the info on the Green Home! I still think it’s kinda funny that it’s in FL
