We are proud to announce the winner of Blog Cabin 2011. Please read our exclusive Q&A to learn more about Carol Livingston and her plans for the future.
I’d like to thank everyone who particpated in our People’s Choice voting and entered for a chance to win this gorgeous Chesapeake Bay home. Keep checking this blog for more details on our 2012 home.


Carol by no means do I want to rain on your parade but I found out some info that I want to share about the 2012 BC…we have a host revel folks….***spoiler alert*** http://www.virtual-strategy.com/2011/11/02/diy-ne…
its Chris Grundy from Cool Tools…welcome Chris!! I know you will be the next perfect host for this wonderful transformation….can't wait to get this party started…
Thanks for the link, Maria. Oh, and thanks for the pumpkin whoopie pie, too. Very delicious!
oops that is supposed to be…host "reveal"…but we can all "revel" in the Carol's good fortune…so happy for you!!
Great find Maria! Chris Grundy the loveable, infectiously excited over Cool Tools everywhere he travels in America host! I would have NEVER have guessed Chris. I've never seen Chris do construction, who knew?? NO doubt Chris you will bring lots of enthusiasm to the Maine project, welcome aboard! I don't expect to find you hiding a hairbrush in your tool belt. LOL Chris Remember us bloggers want to be your new BEST friends, please feel free to join us here on the blog anytime!
LOL Mel I wanted to make reference to the hairbrush in the toolbox too, but kind of walking on egg shells here, don't want to ruffle any feathers….were glad to have ya Chris…don't make yourself a stranger…:)
OMG —- Did you happen to notice the sentence saying "the world" will help renovate? Does that mean instaed of us having to compete here in the US, we have other countries to compete with as well???? I am hoping that's a mis-print!
Oh gosh Stella, I am assuming they meant cyber world…
Being as I am, "your friendly, neighborhood tool junkie", I like the choice of Chris Grundy as the next host; he always displays a level of excitment that can be infectious.
Well, Carol..Best wishes for you and your family. Your new home is beautiful!!! This certainly will be a BIRTHDAY you will always remember.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!….
Now for the rest of us….WOO HOO! Finally a winner is revealed .. Onto to Maine we all go!!!!
And the kitchen we want is what____? Who knows maybe the next house will be for one of us!!! *smile*
Confrere to Carol and family on winning the Blog Cabin 2011. I must be honest and tell you that I have been dreaming of winning myself and how my family would enjoy this home. However I truly hope that God will Bless you and your family and you will enjoy this home and make lots of great family memories here. Again, Congrats & GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY!!!
To Carol Livingston and Family,
Happy, Happy Birthday, Carol! May you and Family enjoy many new joys and make happy memories in your new vacation get-away!
Sure, all who voted would have loved to win, but it is evident that God had other plans for the Susan, VA, property which included you! I live in SE Virginia and it's a wonderful place with lots to see and do! All the best always! xD
A VERY Happy Birthday, Carol! Congratulations on a beautiful house and gorgeous view!
I am still curious how you were contacted. Many of us had,including myself, had imagined various ways this could have happened to you.
Thank you for sharing what you have.
Again….sincerest congratulations!
Congratulations Carol! You have won a real star, that's quite the looker and has had a collective amount of heart, sweat and soul poured into her by many talented people. Enjoy all those spectacular spaces, and make some great memories. Unless you're Matty Blah Blah's mom I say you won her fair and square.
Mel it states that Carol has grown twin sons…are you implying that there is another Matty Blah Blah out there somewhere…ewwww two of them, twice as nice….:p VBG
Congratulations Carol. Hope your winnings bless you and others greatly!
Congratulations Carol! Enjoy your new vacation home!
A big CONGRATULATIONS to Carol Livingston!!!! May you be happy and blessed in your new home!!!! Beverly

Leona, heart crushing things happen to many people everyday. Just as someone else said, "True happiness NEVER comes from material things. At least not in the end. I should know. Try to keep positive and not covet and most likely, things will turn around for you. Take care.
no my sister framed me i never said that she is 10 years younger then me im happy for carol
