Bugs-n-Blooms Extreme Makeover Home Edition

Bugs-n-Blooms, LLC Provides Butterfly Decor For ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” And Other Charitable Events

Monday, December 14th, 2009

PROSPER, TX — Bugs-n-Blooms, LLC, a supplier of unique garden themed room decor and accessories, is pleased to announce their participation in brightening up a deserving family’s home in connection with the show “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition”, which airs on ABC network television.

The company donated products to help decorate a tie-dye and butterfly themed bedroom for two of the daughters from the Marshall Family. The New Hampshire family received an extreme home makeover in an episode that that aired on November 29, 2009. The Marshalls have a young son who is in remission from leukemia and the family was living in a house with carbon monoxide leaks, mold and rotting wood. Despite their challenges, parents Jay and Elena, along with their eight children, established the Be Positive (B+) Campaign, which helps families handle the financial and emotional challenges that are often created when a family member is battling a chronic illness or has to undergo long-term hospitalization.

The home makeover show is not the first time that the growing company has given back to someone in need. Bugs-n-Blooms has also supplied their whimsical and uplifting products to such organizations as the American Cancer Society, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Ronald McDonald House, March of Dimes, Children’s Miracle Network, Hope International, and other charitable events. The woman-owned company prides itself on outstanding customer service and believes in the importance of helping others.

Jennifer De Vol, owner of Bugs-n-Blooms, is proud of the impact her company’s products have had on others. “We receive lots of feedback from customers and use that feedback to create new designs and exciting new products,” explains De Vol. “Our business is what it is today because of our customers. They tell us what they want and they tell us how our products have made them or their children feel and that inspires us to keep our business moving forward.” One of the most touching notes De Vol has received is from a woman who was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Her only wish was for her daughter to have her own pink butterfly bedroom. The mothers from her daughter’s school decorated the bedroom while she was in the hospital with Bugs-n-Blooms products and the woman wrote to tell De Vol that the room was everything she had imagined for her little girl.

Bugs-n-Blooms offers products that are beautiful, cheerful and inspiring. Some of their most popular decorative products include multi-layered and two-toned butterflies, butterfly wings, glitter ladybugs, and bumblebee tiebacks that evoke princess, garden or fairy-like decor in children’s bedrooms. Their unique products are also popular for weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, and other occasions. In addition to home decor items, they also offer butterfly wings, tutu skirts, fairy wands, hair accessories and other items that make little girls feel special.

Extreme Makeover Home Edition Marshall Family Recap Episode 711

Monday, December 7th, 2009
“The bus is running on all cylinders en route to Lyme, New Hampshire to meet the Marshall Family. Cameron Marshall was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of nine. While in the hospital, Cameron learned his blood type is B-positive. This led Cameron to adopt a new motto – BE POSITIVE! And after engaging in some chemotherapy, his cancer went into remission. Cameron and his family founded the “Be Positive” campaign that has already raised $40,000 for the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth. Now this family dedicated to helping others needs a little help itself. Deadly mold has been appearing around their home. Cameron’s father, Jay, has tried his best to eliminate it, but the mold keeps coming back. The house was becoming a death trap, as Cameron has a weakened immune system. Jay and Ellen Marshall have their backs against the wall. Well, that just means somebody needs to knock that wall down. Any thoughts? During this particular home makeover, Ty Pennington and his team are joined by a former EM: HE family, the Vitales. Surprisingly, the Marshalls were one of many volunteers that helped build the Vitale home. As they say, what goes around comes around. And around here, that’s a good thing! The Marshalls are surprised when they meet Dr. McDreamy himself, Patrick Dempsey. This is a thrill for Olivia Marshall, who aspires to be a neurosurgeon just like Patrick’s Grey’s Anatomy character. It’s a chill-inducing moment when we learn that Patrick’s foundation, Dempsey Challenge, will team up with Cameron’s foundation to help with fundraising. When the Marshalls come home, they find a brand new house equipped with three air filtration systems, one specifically designed for Cameron’s bedroom. Let’s take a deeper look at each room: The Living Room – Before it used to double as a place for Jay and Ellen to sleep when Cameron was feeling ill. Not anymore. Now, it’s exactly what it should be – a beautiful family gathering spot. The Prairie Room – Faith and Emilie are swept off their feet into a prairie complete with wagon beds. It’s the kind of room Faith always wanted. The Tie Dye Room – Rylie and Nina are surrounded by butterflies and designs that dazzle the eye. Olivia’s Bedroom – Prior to the new house, Olivia had been living in a closet. Now her room is oh so stylish in blue and purple. Her desk is the best because it doubles as a vanity mirror/ hobby storage spot. The Soccer Room – Beau loves his room immediately. The colors of his sheets match that of his favorite soccer team. It’s a great place to kick back with friends. The Snowboarding Room – Cameron and Kennedy’s room covers all their joys. Snowboards, skateboards and a nice TV are just some of the features. The best touch is the “be positive” mural on the wall. Cameron knows that whenever he feels discouraged he won’t have to look far for inspiration. The Master Bedroom – Jay and Ellen are blown away by the tranquility of their room. A brand new bathtub will definitely help them relax, as will the knowledge that their new home is finally safe. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, Adam Sandler pops up on TV to tell the Marshall family that he knows their area well, as his mom lives nearby. He sent along a gift of an autographed hockey stick. Score! Cameron Marshall is a special kid. Not only did his hopes remain high during the gravest times, but he started an organization that brought in over $40,000 for a children’s hospital. Not bad for a nine-year-old. Cameron you’ve taught us all that it truly pays to “be positive.” Welcome home, Marshall family. Welcome home.”

Extreme Makeover Home Edition: Tie Dye Butterfly Room, Marshall Family

Friday, December 4th, 2009

“On ABC November 29, 2009, Ty Pennington and his design team travel to Lyme, New Hampshire to build a new Extreme Makeover Home Edition home for the Marshall Family. After moving into their home six years ago, Jay and Elena Marshall discovered carbon monoxide leaks and rotting wood. About the same time, their six year-old son, Cameron, was diagnosed with leukemia. The Marshalls established the B+ (Be Positive) Campaign to raise money and help other families handle the emotional and financial challenges created by long-term hospitalization and chronic illness. As Jay and Elena and their eight children head to Walt Disney World, Ty and the team are joined by celebrity guest Patrick Dempsey (Grey’s Anatomy) for the week…
Ty, Michael, Eduardo, Paige and the Vitales family, who had their home made over two years ago, head toward the Marshall home in Lyme. They watch video of the Marshall kids explaining how they feel about their brother Cameron having leukemia. Ty describes how the family has organized fundraising activities to give back. Ty says Cameron’s cancer is currently in remission, but the house is not safe for him to recover in due to the mold.
Door Knock Day
“Good morning Marshall family,” bellows Ty through the megaphone, and the big, excited family rush out to greet the bus! Ty tells them that they will spend the week in Walt Disney World while their new home is built.
Ty visits Cameron’s room with him, and discovers that he’s into sports. In the girls’ room, Paige and Eduardo spot a penchant for tie-dye, and Little House on the Prairie. The eldest daughter’s room is in a closet – she is a huge fan of Grey’s Anatomy.
As Ty speaks to Jay and Elena about a day in the hospital when they thought they had lost Cameron (his medication had made him catatonic), I am brought to tears, as is Ty Pennington. They explain how this experience led them to give back.
The family witnesses the sea of volunteers, meet the builders from Trumbull-Nelson Construction, and receive a mystery gift from Ty before heading out in the limo for their trip.
In honor of the Marshall family’s love of extreme sports an extreme demolition of their home is held!
Ty and Paige visit the children at Dartmouth Children’s Hospital (CHAD) where Cameron spent time, and they contact the Marshalls from there. The family learns that Hallmark has donated $50,000 to his B+ Campaign!
Ty receives some ’sick’ items for his secret room from a mystery person named Adam. The ceilings in the house reach a new height – thirty feet – and Michael heads home with the Vitales who have something they would like to contribute to the Marshalls house – some of their Angel Boy paintings. As it turns out, the Marshalls were volunteers when the Vitales home was built two years ago – so cool!
It’s time for the Marshall’s to open their mystery gift in Walt Disney World – it’s a B+ t-shirt – and all the volunteers, as well as people at Walt Disney World are wearing them too! Two simultaneous walks are held on the spot, and Ty announces over $25,000 raised!
As a surprise for the family, they are taken to meet Patrick Dempsey from Grey’s Anatomy! The oldest daughter screams intensely! Cameron eats clam chowder with Patrick.
Before long, the house is completed and the furniture is on its way inside, however, not all the tiling is done, so Michael is charged with meeting the family and taking them to Sears to buy new clothes to buy time!
When the Marshalls finally pull up beside the bus, the crowd goes wild. “Move that bus,” is chanted loudly. The family is completely overwhelmed by the sight of their new home.
The Vitales come forward to meet the Marshalls, and Ty says Walt Disney World has offered them a vacation as they didn’t get one when their house was built! Ty then tells the Marshalls to check out the house!
Elena feels the new house is like a dream – tons of screaming ensues as Ty comes in and asks what they think of their new home. He points out the Angel Boy paintings, and makes note of the air cleaning system they installed.
The youngest girls have prairie wagon beds in their room, the next two girls have a colorful room filled with butterflies and tie-dye, the eldest daughter has her own proper room (not a closet) and she and Ty scream into each other’s faces when he comes in. The boys love their sports themed room – especially the B+ walls and the skateboards all over the place.
In the restful, exquisite master bedroom, Jay and Elena embrace. Ty then gathers the family and says he got in touch with a fellow New Hampshirite – Adam Sandler! He tells them to go check out his new closet – it’s full of signed hockey sticks! Adam jokes about how he presumed they would like his autograph on everything! He compliments Cameron for being brave and changing a tragic situation into a positive.
Ty herds everyone outside to play a game of hockey in the over-sized driveway. He ends with, “Welcome home, Marshall family, welcome home!””

Butterfly Decorations Were Featured On Extreme Makeover Home Edition,
Episode 711, November 29, 2009: Marshall Family Lyme NH


Bugs-n-Blooms Hanging Butterflies were used to decorate

5 year old Kristina and 3 year old Rylie’s Tie Dye Butterfly Room


LYME, N.H. — After weeks of waiting, New Hampshire finally got to see the final product of a Lyme family’s Extereme Home Makeover Sunday night.

The Marshall family is ecstatic with their new home, and enjoyed as the rooms were revealed in Sunday’s Extreme Makeover episode.

Sunday night, the Marshall family spent the big reveal with the community that helped make it all possible.

Like all homes on the ABC show, the Marshalls’ house was built in just a week, with help from thousands of volunteers.

“It’s like nothing else, so it’s exciting, hard at times and emotional, for sure,” said father Jay Marshall. “So, there was a roller coaster of excitement, of curiosity and, you know, all ending with an incredible feeling of gratitude.”

“My thoughts were, ‘Oh, my gosh. I can’t believe this is actually happening,’” said 10-year-old Cameron Marshall. “And all those people came out to support us and build a house for us. It was really cool.”

While the Marshalls were sent away on vacation, their old, mold-infested house was torn down. The new home is expected to be healthier for Cameron, who has leukemia.

The construction took place as the cameras rolled and the show’s famous designers made appearances.

Only the Marshalls and the volunteers knew what the inside looks like. The oldest of the eight Marshall children said he’s enjoying getting to know their new home.

“You know, you walk in, and it just might not feel like home quite yet, but there is plenty of room for all of us, and we can do absolutely whatever we want in there,” said Beau Marshall, 18. “The way it’s designed, it feels so open.”

“I think, for me, it just confirms that prayers are answered,” said mother Elena Marshall. “God has been so good to us, and I am just so thankful, and miracles still happen every single day.”

Family Thanks Community For ‘Extreme Makeover’ Home

Monday, November 30th, 2009

The Marshall family, of Lyme, is settling into their new home, which was built by volunteers and craftsmen for the ABC show “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.”

For the first time since getting their new home, the Marshalls spoke Tuesday about the outpouring of help from volunteers and how their time away from New Hampshire helped them come together.”

The bus moved, and probably if you had pinched me, I wouldn’t have felt it because it wasn’t real,” said mother Elena Marshall. “It was so amazing.”For all the excitement of getting a new home, the Marshalls said they slept soundly in New Hampshire, exhausted from a Walt Disney World visit the show provided.

“For the whole family to be in the same place, watching fireworks at Disney, that’s special,” said father Jay Marshall.

“It was so wonderful,” Elena Marshall said. “There were ups there, were downs, but it was an experience we haven’t had an opportunity to have.

“The gifts kept on coming for the Marshalls, including new bikes and ski passes to New Hampshire resorts. A huge poster put together by children in Lyme got an emotional reaction from Elena Marshall, who whispered that it was “beautiful.

“Photos also now show the moment when the Marshalls got a chance to meet actor Patrick Dempsey. Daughter Olivia now has a picture of him placed next to her new bed.

“I saw that,” she said. “Sweet dreams tonight.”But for everything they received, the family said they wished they could have chipped in with the project. Son Beau Marshall said he hoped the outpouring of generosity would inspire others.

“You tell one or two people about it, and hopefully then they’ll do the same thing, and eventually it spreads throughout the world,” he said.The Be+ charity (pronounced “Be Positive”) also benefited from the show. The fund was started by son Cameron Marshall to raise money for Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth. Donations raised in the past week totaled more than $77,000.
