1. I had a real propblem the other day on sunday. I went over to kings department store to get myself some pop corn, and was unable to manuvar my wheelchai to get the doors open to get myself along with my wheelchair into the store , so i asked for some one to help me. A customer opened the door for me, and i got my pop corn and startd eating it, when a lady who identified herself as the boss told me that i needed to pay for my popcorn , and then i needed to leave the store becouse my type was not welcome there. They didnt give me any reason. They called the twin falls police department on my, and i felt like i had done something wrong like shop lifting. I do feel so bad

2. Good afternoon everyone , sorry I have been a little slow trying to get some comments together. I have been sick with Pneumonia for the last 3 weeks . I am doing much better now ,I just love the hgtv Dream home in Vermont (Stowe), I have loved New England since I been a little kid When I found out that the house was built on a Ski resort /mountain , I told my husband, that we were entering. that it is absolutely breath taking what HGTV had built, I love the seasons and they are right on track with the landscaping and the outdoors, weather it is spring or summer or winter ,to be able to open those doors and look at that view of Mansfield Mountain is great. You are even going to watch the skiing ,tubing or snowboarding. .It is truly,a dream come true for some one,everything about it is just wonderful . The Bath suite is beautiful
   and to have warm towels and aroma therapy ,warming draw in the bath room and the different rain showers. OH MY GOODNESS! The family room on the lower level is quite the gathering place, as is the outdoor SPACE WITH THE Hot Tub ,I always wanted one of these, To be able to rest your aching bones or tired feet in the privacy of your own Hot Tub Wow Wow.!!especially imagine the snow starting and then your husband joining you with a glass of wine or Champagne ,listening to the sounds around you and the crackling of the fire right in front of you ,come on girls , I am picturing it right now , and its not a special occasion its just a weekend , but it feels oh so special, I look at these pictures everyday and imagine myself or the family and what We would do , I know for a fact there;'s lots here and I can;t wait to have a trip back to new England and discovering Stowe Vermont.,To be able to bring my Dad who 84 come Feb.
   and also my 3 grandchildren . this is truly a gathering place for celebrating Family and Friends . Good luck to everyone Thanks for reading my story Respectfully Crafty Deb, enjoy

4. The reason why i say that i would love to see some wild animals is becouse the Beuitifull HGTV dream home is licated in the middle of the mountains. I love taking pictures of anything outdoors and i try to cary a disposable camera were ever i go, becouse you never know what you might see. I have raised a pet squrell who i truely adore. I am glad that i was able to bring her with me to my new place. Thanks for talking to me.

6. I have a rather big family myself. I would use the money won, besides the home, but the 5oo thousand i would put towards the taxes. I would love to win this home for myself , and my big family. I feel like i am deserving of this years beuitiful HGTV dream home, that was built so well. I will not sell anything that i have. I just couldnt sell. That is just the way i am. I consider myself verry lucky to be alive right now, and i will take advantage of what life has to offer me, GOD BLESS AMERICA.

7. The most difficult thing about this idea of blogging or Facebooking, ect..ect…is that I have to barrow my ex-husbands computor to keep up but I can't make any changes to his computor. Everyone ask some wonderful questions but I am still stumbling around with how to be apart of the program, without getting into trouble with him. There are clues to questions? Did I miss something about haveing to follow some clues? Please let me know. I would love to win this heart pounding house within such a lovely state. Good luck to all.

8. So many people yearning to have this little piece of paradise…..myself included. It is humbling to read everyone's stories, and sad to know that only one will have their dream realized. My own dream is to give back to my family, to share the joy with them. Our greatest happiness comes when we make others happy. Just as you do, I envision being surrounded by family in that beautiful, cozy home…..and all of nature's glory just outside the door. No matter who wins, just keep in mind that, as Eleanor Roosevelt said: "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift. That's why they call it the present."

12. Love this home. Of all the giveaway homes this one was built for us. We live in N. Idaho snow country, climate is similar and my husbands family is from Vermont, What a neat thing for HGTV to do each year. Its been a rough few years for many people, I only hope the winner appreciates the blessing! I know we will!

13. We Fell in Love with My 2011 Dream Home the minute I saw for the first time Christmas Eve. I even asked GOD for this home to be all ours. I see this place as wonderful place for new young friends to come, stay the weekend and have fun on those Mountain Ski Trails in the winter snow boarding down the slopes and getting out into nature during the summer. I see it as a wonderful place for kids with sickness like HIV and HEP to get a chance to be normal just having FUN for just a few days a year. Snow is nothing new to me living in the mountains of all three mountain ranges Sierra, Rocky and Appalachian. Even Named the My New Home.. SaintsCrazy8s YUP snowboarder heaven….

15. Well good evening , here we are two days left ,and I guess it will be time to start finding the winner of the hgtv Dream home 2011. I really tried to enter every day ,and looking at the pictures and tours regarding the dream home and Stowe Vermont . New England is the place to go if you can I drove through here a long time ago with my aunt and uncle . it was the late sixties,early seventies it was wonderful then I can't imagine
    what it would like now I'm sure it is beautiful even with all that snow that New England got . and they got hammered.I hope everything is right with the house It just would be so wonderful to win and everyone who enter is saying the same thing . I am use to being in a rural setting We are a up in coming area
    here in Shippensburg ,Pa. WE have one of the best small college on the east coast and a state school to boot. Nothing really that exciting comes to ship that often . WE are a small area ,Town and we have a lot of people from many states living here We are called the bed and breakfast area ,because we are 21/2
    hrs. from Philly,and 45 min to Hagerstown Maryland , and 1 hr from West Virginia. and 2 hrs from Washington D.C. and Camp David Maryland .I have watched other shows regarding the dream Home
    Sweepstakes and I never heard or saw any one wining in Pa. that would be so great as I am sure maybe other contestants might be thinking . I just write what my heart tells me and to be able to share this with your family and friends must be pretty awesome I haven't worked in about 1yr and a few months So if this was to happen to me , This would take away the troubles I have been feeling and the uncertainty of the economy, and maybe able to relax a little bit ,and have less stress for a while. To be very grateful ,
    thankful and to be happy , This is what HGTV. does for people, they makes them feel good about them selves. Thank you a again for giving me the opportunity To Win something special. Respectfully craftydeb54
