Amy Thank You for all your blood, sweat and tears for the hard work you put into the Blog Cabin. The Blog Cabin is filled with all the love and energy that each and everyone who worked on it put into it. That is one Energy Packed, Love filled cabin.

Thanks again and Bless all of you fantastic people!

Goodbye Amy!

We will miss you :o(

If it's something that you are interested in, we hope you are headin' up the 2008 Blog Cabin Team !

Love from Goldilocks and The Three Goodbye Bears

What!? Does this mean you won't be building the next Blog Cabin? Please tell me that's not true. If not you then who? Surely DIY wouldn't entrust a design-by-committee project to an auto mechanic, gardener, crafter, or stone mason so it would have to be another builder. But I don't know any other builder on DIY who is also a designer. That's why you're perfect for this.

thank you amy...this has been a daily part of my life, checking in and being a part of the voting and blogging! i really have enjoyed it...thank you once again, maybe we will meet someday and share some coffee while we talk over all the twists and turns of this event!

Amy--
Thanks for giving us a great interactive experience creating something I've dreamed of for years...
The entire cast was a joy to watch, and the cabin building process was amazing.
All the best to you in your future career challenges!

Amy,
Thanks so much for giving all of us bloggers such a fun time this past spring and summer. I can only speak for myself, but I had a great time being a part of the whole blog cabin event. It will be nice to start all over again on Blog Cabin 2008, but this one will probably remain in all of our hearts as the most fun and the most memorable. Please say thanks from me to all those who worked so hard alongside of you to make 2007's blog cabin such a success. I think we all appreciated all of the hard work each of you put into cabin.
I truly hope you will be involved in the next blog cabin as well; it just wouldn't be the same without you. In case you can't be though, we know that another great person or persons will be provided from DIY. You are pretty doggone special at what you do
though.
Good luck in the future in all your endeavors!

Amy, have a wonderful christmas. And I know what you are talking about being hot on top of the cabin's roof. Only a person who has worked during the Summer months in the fields, know what you are talking about being hot (that's me). Thank you for all your time and work that you put building the blog cabin. Please don't be a stranger. Sincerely, Carolina Capetillo

Amy, another blog cabin next year! what great news! I'm a huge fan of yours and am thrilled to know that your goodness will keep on giving.

Today was my first time watching your show. Great fun. Wish I had been in on the design and past shows. Next time!! I'm glad for the winner wish we could all have one of those! It looked really nice and I am sure the new owners will be proud to own it. I would. Jan

Congratulations to Joyce Bennett and her family for winning the 2007 DIY Blog Cabin. It looks terrific and I hope you enjoy every inch of it. You deserve it.
Thank you Amy D. for a job well done. You couldn't have chosen a better site to build a cabin on with all the green going on in the mountains of Tenn.
Best wishes for the 2008 DIY Blog Cabin.

Hey there Miss Amy
I really enjoyed the blog cabin series. It really was / is my favorite show on tv and I can not wait til we virtually meet again. I loved watching all the hard work y'all's put into this home. It's been alot of fun and I am so excited for next years cabin blogging experiences and chances and y'alls choices for us to help make.... I can't wait!! I wish it was here already. But you guys worked so hard for everybody. So thank you Miss Amy and everybody who worked/ sweated so hard to make this blog cabin a blog home for the surely blessed Bennett family. I know y'alls a needing a good break after all that hard work and play you had in the Smokies. Now for the holdiays I vote that y'alls enjoy all the family time coming up. Because 2008 blog cabin will be here soon!!

Congratulations y'alls on a great job... lots of high 555555555's and back pattings from me to y'alls. And oh yeah cheers... I know y'alls like a cold one here and there!

Kidding aside. Congratulation to the Bennett family for being the most blessed & lucky family out there on the quieter side of the Smokies Townsend. I see you have a whole pack of kids/grandkids hope y'all have many wonderful family memories to come in your rocky top retreat. "The Bennett's blog cabin. " God bless y'all......

Amy:
My wife and I finally had a chance to watch the 2007 blog cabin episodes. We were completely shocked because the inside and outside of the house looks almost identical to the house we are currently building (Only ours has vaulted ceilings and an open loft). It was so nice to see what some of the features we wanted looked like in the completed project. If 4.2 million voters chose all this, then we should have a house that everyone will enjoy.

Hello DIY; Amy you are doing a great job. It's not easy being fun to watch and also being knowledgeable about what you are presenting!! Will the 2008 home have a seawall and or pier and boathouse? I hope the windows facing the lake will be as large and open as possible. Atta boy and great job to all. If you need any help call me!!! Best Regards, Jim Mitchell

This has been so exciting to watch that I've had to get others involved too. the whole family will be watching this next edition (& we're not a small group by any means). Congratulations to the lucky Bennetts, I wish them many years of enjoyment in their fabulous new home! Amy I do so hope that you and the twins will be back.

I watched the building of the Blog Cabin all day on New Years. It was great. I love having input on building the cabin. I have built several homes and that is my favorite part, picking out the floors, windows, etc. I love it. Thanks for letting us indulge our creative designing.

I'm a newbie to Blog Cabin. I happened to catch
2007's episodes last night. I didn't have your channel before, but now that I do.....
I'll be following this closely, because a log home has always been my dream, and a lake home has always been my husband's dream!
So glad to see the family that won the 2007 home has little kids. It'll be perfect for them!
BTW- What night will BlogCabin 2008 be on?
Thanks!

Hi, My family and I enjoyed your 2007 blog cabin so much we were so excited when you started the new one. My computer is not working so good at the moment I have to get it into the geek squad. So I was unable to view the video of the building site. I cant wait to watch it again on DIY. Where is it you are building this year? It looks like a lovely place on the lake. Well good luck to all who enter this year. (But I hope I win it) LOL. I also hope Amy and the twins will be back this year as they were so much fun to watch. You could tell Amy loved the cabin so much and was truly upset when it was over. Well good luck y'all. Lesley & family.

I had so much fun voting for last years home and most but not all of my choices were chosen. The only thing I do not like on the cabin I picked this time is the domers. Instead of 2 I think 1 large one on the front would be best.

Whats a cabin without a wrap around porch. The San Jacinto floor plan is beautiful and functional. Just imagine sitting on the porch with a glass of wine watching the sun set in the evening.

Looking forward to the New Year. :)

Amy you were fantastic and I felt like I was already living in that cabin before we got to vote. Maybe I'll have a good chance at the 2008 Blog Cabin. I'm in Nashville. Wish me luck!
Melody

The new 2008 Blog Cabin is awesome. Thanks for starting a new cabin to vote on.

I loved watching your DIY blog cabin. I especially liked the twins..they were so prfessional and very handsome. I loved their ascents....I hope they become a regular part of DIY shows....

as always you are excellent as a host and artisian yourself!!!!!

I really like what you're doing with the concept of a blog cabin.I'm sorry I missed out on the first one.I really liked it. I like the "D" log concept. It can open many oportunities for add ons in the future. There is nothing more romantic and intimate than a wood burning fireplace! It just sets the mood for, well you know..... The hanging pendant light creates an open and inviting space for all who enter this entry to your home. I hope Amy Devers hosts this next Blog Cabin. She has the personality, sense of humor, and expertise to do another great job. Besides, she's HOT. Keep up the good work for all of you in the DIY family for your own shows and especially working on the 'BLOG CABIN' !! Good luck. Live long and proper.Tom

how do we know if our entry is posted thanks gary robb

This new cabin is coming together nicely! What a beautiful location. The thought of having morning coffee on that back porch is invigorating!

HI fellow bloggers,
My name is MaryLou from Ohhio,
Boy is this going to be beautiful when its done!? I cannot wait to see. I put the power shower an the kitchen on my own wish list!! For Christmas next year. lol My dream for this cabin is with me in it. Health is getting better. I have been struggling,
If i won this cabin.my dream is to be able,when i am gone, to donate this beautiful home to the city where its built, on the grounds of using it for children to come spend weekend vacations, retreats. Somewhere foster kids and others to come. Churchs in the city would have a place to come an bring the charish and ...well let me dream. Its so beautiful. Thanks fo lettin me blog. Marylou
