HGTV featured my 2010 Halloween table!
Today, I happened to stumble across HGTV's Halloween decorating ideas!
I still go on their site often for inspiration.
Can you imagine my surprise and shock when I saw MINE was amongst the fabulous ideas shown. They never let me know, therefore, I had no clue.
It was because of the RMS {rate my space} friends that I made, that I started a blog with all their encouragement. There are so many to speak of, I would not even know where to begin.
Thank you HGTV/RMS!~
You opened doors for me, I never would have dreamed of.
Oh and from what I hear, {Kim} you will be happy about this too, they are making some positive changes over there....perhaps their rating and comment moderation system.
What all did come about for me being a part of that system....and/or network was this.....
Friendships, blogging, magazine feature, just to name a few. I would have never put myself out there like I have. I suppose, I just did not have the confidence in myself. Not that I am all confident now, because believe me, I AM NOT...I'm just not afraid to expose myself anymore. It's not easy. What I have learned along the way is....
When one door closes, another one opens
{or vice versa, I always screw these sort of cliche's up}
Hold on to your dreams....
I still have a few more I would like to fulfill....so I keep on keeping!
You just never know what is next for you in life.
So go for it TODAY!

I was just thinking yesterday, I need to get on, my Halloween table scape for this year.
Last years was a lot of FUN!
Note sure what I will come up with, this year.
I guess you will just have to stay tuned!
I still have my mantel, some outdoors and my little spanish table to share with you.
Whew...I have been busy this season for sure.
Thank you so much stopping over. I am giddy with delight that HGTV featured me, and just had to share. I know really it is not that big of a deal.
However, the history I have had there, it certainly had me tickled!

Congratulations, Debbie! Love the big bones on the plates...too fun!
Congratulations! Great rewards come to those who take risks. Your tablescape is darling, and I look forward to this year's model. Cherry Kay
OH MY GOSH, Debbie--I would have fainted!!! And your table is totally amazing!!! WOW!!!
If you have a chance, I have a personal story on my blog and I just wanted people to know in case followers don't hear from me often in the next few months...
I am SO happy about your news...You deserve every happiness--You do so much for others and have the kindest heart, my friend.
Love,
Cindy
Congratulations! Your table scape is fabulous! I love the skull chargers! Bones for dinner? Yummers! LOL I love Rate My Space and go there often and I always leave comments so people know that their inginuity and creativity is appreciated and inspiring! Congrats again and can't wait to see all your decorations for this year! Hugs, Leena
Congrats!! Good for you!!
I used to watch HGTV all the time and then they got rid of all the shows that i loved and everything sort of went to mid century modern which is so not my style, so I stopped watching it. They also focus a lot on resale of homes and I will probably die in mine so I have no interest in that.
I find that on RMS, some people can really be cruel too.
I guess I find more inspiration in Blogland for the home styles that I like rather than on TV anymore...
Hugs,
Deb
Congratulations Debbie! A well deserved feature.
Have a wonderful day,
Gail
Congratulations, Debbie! I can see why they featured it - you did a GREAT job!
Congratulations! I love your skull and bones table. So creative!!
Yea RMS I can't seem to stay away either The table looks so cute Congrats
Congrats....nice to see your creative efforts shine!
Debs,
Your table is awesome! I love those Flinstone bones on the plates! I have loaded pics on RMS, too, but hadn't been on there for a long time. I just went on and put some Fall pics on there. Congrats to you!!!
Congrats Debbie!! I know how excited you must be! I have not been over to Rat My Space in forever.

I'm not surprised girl. Your decorating is the Bomb-Diggity!!!

Congratulations! and Well Deserved! I always find inspiration on your blog... I haven't visited RMS in a while, but will go over and take a look. Congratulations again... I LOVE the way you decorated in 2010!
Congratulations Debbie. Your table looks so cool!
I stopped going to RMS because it seemed like the site was so slow. I might have to pop on over for some inspiration!
Congrats on the feature! Love that tablescape! The bones are such a fun addition. Thanks for sharing.
How fantastic is that! I'm so proud of you Debbie! RMS still has it's merits - after all, that's how I met you!

It's a great tablescape, no wonder you were featured! They have good taste.
That is such a fun tablescape! How cool is that to be featured on their website!!! My first step towards blogging was posting pictures on Rate My Space. I remember being so nervous. People are sometimes "overly honest" over there! So excited for you - you deserve it!
-Shelley
Congratulations Debbie! HGTV is the channel that is "on" the most at our house. Speaking of confidence, I would never be confident enough to put my house on "Rate My Space" like you did. I was not blogging last year at this time so I missed seeing your fun table. Love the big bones across the plates! I saw this post over at "At the Picket Fence".
How fun is this? wow, what a surprise! I'm lovin' the bones and the caution tape. I need that at my house on a regular basis!! LOL! thanks for linking up the fun! xoxo
Outstanding!!!!!

Wow that's amazing! Congratulations! :) So exciting
Awesome table, Debbie!
That is so fantastic Debbie! It must have been such a great surprise to see it there.
Congratulations, Debbie!!!!
You sooo deserve it! Everything you do in your home is beautiful.
Can't wait to see what you do this year!
i "LOVE" the table scape..the huge skull is great ..and yes i spent 7 years on rms...before we all got tired of it and went to groups and facebook...then blogging..i think i am the only one that still visits RMS..in my friend group..
Congratulations, Debbie! I got my start with HGTV's site, too. It has been a wild ride ever since. Many kudos to you!!!! Have a wonderful weekend!
What a nice surprise, Deb! How come sites like this don't directly contact and acknowledge the photographer/stylist/blogger? Just think- you could have missed it somehow! :-)
Congratulations, Debbie! I think it is an adorable Halloween table. :D
You are deserving of all the recognition your blog has received. Congrats again!
Blessings!
