Sweeps News and Super Fan
Hi folks,
I’ve been seeing some conversations brewing about giveaway rules. If you enter and win the Housewarming Giveaway, you are still eligible to enter and win the HGTV Dream Home 2011 Giveaway. I am here to say enter away!
Also, we have a new vlog today from Super Fan. She shares some secrets from host Monica Pedersen. Take a look.

The following comment is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but at same time, it's mostly true.
So while MARY may be seeing conversations brewing about giveaway rules, a possibly even more insidious problem has been brewing in Canberra, in the Land Down Under — Australia, that is: runaway roos. Or, well, just WAY too many roos. As the story goes, "they bounce across the roof of Parliament House. They collide with cars. They come in through the bedroom window." Aren't you glad to know that Vermont may have lots of cows, which are rather benign creatures and produce lots of great dairy products for us, but probably no roos.
2. Back to the Aussie roos. Authorities have tried giving them vasectomies and oral contraceptives. No kidding! It hasn't worked. YOU try to get an angry roo to settle down and sign hospital admission paperwork and legal waivers, much less slipping on one of those surgical gowns. And take a pill? Yeah right!
They say trucking them to new and distant pastures is too expensive, and of course the roos rightly refuse to drive themselves. Now they're proposing a cull. But many people are aghast at the idea.
A government survey has found that more than 80 percent of Canberra residents think the wild kangaroos should stay. On the other hand, in a different survey, 17 percent of drivers in the district reported having collided with a kangaroo at least once.
3. Canberra's latest man-vs.-roo horror story concerns a confused beast, standing about 1.75-m on its powerful hind legs, which last month bounded through a closed bedroom window onto a bed where a couple huddled with their 9-year-old daughter, then hopped into their 10-year-old son's bedroom. The animal was wrestled out of the house by the father, Beat Ettlin, and headed for the hills.
Coop, you certainly have unruly roos on the brain! The last time I was in Australia I went to an animal park with a few others. We sat down to have lunch at one of the picnic tables and there was one especially rude roo who kept trying to invite himself to our meal! Roos don't take no for an answer, and they are willing to try anything, even the yummy Australian cheeses we brought for our lunch! So to be on the safe side, never invite a roo to dine with you, or you will regret it! LOL!
Australian roos are definitely not known to wait for an invitation to a picnic. They are the ultimate party crashers!
Now in Vermont, you might have to contend with a hungry bear on a rare occasion. Well, I say, let them eat porridge, 'cause I'm keeping my freshly baked baguette, Vermont cheese and fine wines all to myself…and invited guests of course. Unless they promise to sit down, behave, and mind their table manners….
Coop, there may be no unruly roos in Vermont but there is something else to look out for in the
area. Instead of a Highlander cow at the end of the lovely "clawed ball" bathtub in the Master
Suite, a person could be staring at an ornery, Himalayan yak. The bulls are known to flip
young calves when riled and yet remain protective of the herd at the same time. The yaks can
be escape artists as well. The now well known yak, Christine, caused quite a bit of havoc on
her latest escape. The article is in Vermont Life Winter: http://www.vtlife.com/?wPage=YakFeature
Amazing the things we find to yak about on the Dream Home blog, all the way from feisty roos to ornery yaks. All in a day's blogging here in Dream-land!
And who would guess that Vermont has Himalayan yaks. Next thing you know, we'll find out they have those pushy, cheese-eating roos there too!
Of course, we've all heard that there have been sightings in Stowe of the rarest animal of them of all — HGTV's Super Fan, otherwise known to one and all as Gail Fenton. Truly one of a kind!
Can you just imagine waking up to one of them jumping in your bedroom window? What a hoot!!
I don't care to ever meet a kangaroo. They have such huge muscles. They could out run us and punch us! LOL

4. Now, putting things in perspective, that makes questions about the giveaway rules seem tame in comparison, doesn't it? Still, getting it right IS very important, so thanks, MARY, for addressing them for the curious and uncertain among us.
And what, you might ask, do the HGTV giveaway rules and Canberra's runaway roo population have in common? Nothing. Well, almost nothing. After all, those unruly roos don't even meet the HGTV sweepstakes eligibility requirements; that is, to be legal residents of the U.S. and its territories, possessions and commonwealths who are 21 years of age or older as of January 1, 2011. Good for us dreamers…bad for roos. (Although the Australian roo population may be growing by leaps and bounds just like the number of entries for the HGTV Dream Homes, but that link is kind of a stretch, don't you think?)
Okay, where were we when I was so roo-dly interrupted?
A roo attack is about the only thing my sister and I didn't encounter in Australia years ago. Her granddaughter (a model) scheduled for three weeks in Sydney,insisted we fly down under. We envisioned following her around on photo shoots and tour guide. Wrong. While we were stuck in the "dark" in the elevator, for 2hours in the historic hotel she insisted we book–with maintanence men banging on the cables and yelling, " there's no fire, Girlies." she ended up bopping around Zurich, Vienna, and Barcelona—we ended up sketching in an unplanned 3 week itinerary with planes, trains,and automobiles. One of our many great highlights was an evening at the opera house. Australia is awesome.
Sounds like you had an unusual and lively trip to Australia, MeKhazSimi.
I agree that Australia is awesome, with plenty of diverse geography, striking scenery, and friendly folks…and I only know the eastern coast of the country, from Cairns to Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.
As for Australian wildlife, I've seen a lot of it, along with those ubiquitous roos, in animal parks and in the outback.
It makes for a great vacation, but these days I'll admit to prefering a bit more sedate nightlife, like in and around Stowe, for example. And traditional holiday family get-togethers around the Dream Home hearth would be nice too….
Hmmm…..
floorplans of the lower level… http://www.hgtvpro.com/hpro/photo_template/articl…
Says… [Ground Floor -
A ground floor will feature 10-foot ceiling, spectacular mountain views and a "ski dorm" that will comfortably sleep 12 to 16 guests. "It’s a place of memory building," says architect Paul Robert Rousselle. "And that’s ultimately the strength of the house." ]
But now the ski-dorm has only 8 twin-sized bunk beds.
Hope no socks slide under the bunkbeds.
That last photo of Gail is at the airport. (getting a shoe shine)

Good morning, everyone! Just wanted to let you know that I ordered Christmas gifts for my husband from Stowe Mercantile, and I am very impressed with their service! The gifts arrived quickly, were very securely wrapped, and recycled materials were used. I will let you know what we think of the items ordered once my husband opens his gifts on Christmas morning. Can't wait for our early holiday gift on Monday of the virtual tour!

Darn………
I was just going to ask what that tall white post was that I saw outside of the Master bathroom window. Seen thru the window by the tub.
By the way…. nice photos…. VERY GOOD!!!
Anyone else see it too?
Dec. 20th. when you repost the pictures…………..
maybe we can see what that white post is for.
(Could it be a source of water to ice up an area for ice skating?? )
A lot border marker?
Gail provided this link to a yummy Vermont-inspired cocktail on her facebook page (BTW, Gail, I would have commented there but I am not on Facebook!):
http://liquor.com/cocktails/liberation-libation/
This would actually be quite tasty for Christmas as well — we may just have to try it then!
Well, it's ALMOST all good news. Both John Gidding and Emily Henderson will be welcome HGTV personalities aboard the Dream Home float, and Jamie Durie, Sabrina Soto, and veteran host Robb Weller will make for interesting and entertaining commentary.
An event certainly worth looking forward to on New Year's Day.
It will be a good beginning for the sweepstakes.
Do you live close enough to go to the parade Coop? And if you do are you willing to fight the crowds?
Pasadena would be a comfortable drive for me, Ed. However, fighting the crazy traffic for a parking spot and the maddening crowds for a viewing spot are no longer a compelling interest of mine. I MUCH prefer to sit in the comfort of my living room and watch the parade — with views of the floats that are far better and more detailed than I could possibly see in person.
I understand the excitement of the "live" experience, but having been there, done that years ago, I'm more than happy to leave that in-person quest to the many thousands of others who are keen to share it first-hand.
I really do enjoy visiting Pasadena. It has so much to offer, but at other times of the year for me, when weather is more pleasant and prices are more sensible, thank you….
My thoughts exactly Coop. Been there done that in my college days. The experience from TV is much more compelling nowadays.
I think I just saw Monica Pederson on TV in a movie about a beauty pageant. Was she an actress before being on HGTV shows? (She is playing a beauty pageant woman, Lorna Larkin of Texas, and she is a ventriloquist in the movie.) I think she looks exactly like her!! WOW!
The movie is CALLED "BEAUTIFUL".
What do you think? Is it her? (The woman in the light yellow dress.) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0210567/
Who is Bridgette Wilson ? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0933098/
Could Monica be her sister??
It's not Monica Pedersen — Monica has blue eyes:

Speaking of movies, I did get to see the 1954 movie White Christmas yesterday. I was surprised to realize that I'd never seen the entire movie before, only a few scenes of it over the years. Guess it was about time!
I enjoyed it, though I thought that the Stowe Dream Home in Vermont would make a perfect backdrop for a modern-day version of White Christmas. I hope we get advance notice if HGTV decides to put out a casting call….
Casting Call……
NEEDED:
a debonair man of the world like Bing Crosby, who was an easy-going comedian with a golden voice.
DBCoop…… does that describe you?
Debonair Bing Crosby (D.B.C.) type?

You too? Ha! I finally have my kitchen back again, after weeks of candy, cookie, and snack making!! NOTHING is going to stand in my way of the 20th! So my family had better not be in the den…the computer is MINE!
LOL! Moon_lady, what an image you created in my mind. I see this comical situation
where you're defending your position at the computer and your puzzled family is
treading lightly around you. I can see you with a chair in hand like a lion trainer fending
off any takers.
Any last guesses on what the secret room above the car barn might be? Well I think It's a Theatre Room with the largest TV ever and of course It's 3 D ready, so we can keep all of our guest entertain and a popcorn machine inside and lots of comfy seats and everything decorated in a Vermont caramel color.
Didn't someone say Disney was involved?
So hard to SEARCH stuff from the Blogs.
If Disney is involved…….. could be anything!
Or was that for the parade float?
One of the Stowe resorts created this wonderful holiday shopping guide for the season:

Looks like it would be no problem finding just the right gift for everyone on your holiday shopping list if you were in Stowe!
New BLOG this morning….
"On the Eve of the Virtual Tour Launch"
Twas’ the night before the Dream Home 2011 reveal, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. . . BRING ON THE TOUR! hehe Beverly
I am back Gail. I haven't written on the blogg for a couple of day's , becouse my computer that i was using had broke. I took it to best buy to get fixed under a woranty and they told me that my computer will not be back for 3 to 5 weeks. There for i would miss out on entering this fabulous givaway on the internet. I didnt even have the email address written down. I am going to write it down at this time so i will be able to enter by mail as well if i want to. This is a good reason why i was not able to be a good blogger on here. I am happy that i am back at this time. I am still happy about the online tour revieling on monday. I will be looking at the home daily for a few hours a day at least. Thanks dream team for making such a good HGTV dream home this year, and ervery year as far as that goes. Thanks again
I am thankful to the HGTV dream team for giving all the bloggers something to look forward to. We only have just over one day until the online tour will start. I cant wait to see what the big surprise is going to be that was not on the floor plan. I am sure that all of us bloggers are exited. cant wait. We dont have long to wait now . cool
Dear bloggy Its me ahain just to let you know that i cant wait until tomarow, when the online tour starts. Not much longer now. I am still trying to find out who riped me off at my storage unit last tuesday. I am upset about that, They went through boxes and took erverything that was expensive like my x box 360 elite. My wii. And all my 25 cent collection's, but they left a bottle of nicles, about 10 dallors worth. The sherriffs department who worked for in the past before my parilizing accident told me that people get desperate around christmas, and there are a lot of people getting riped of becouse christmas is almost here. This to me is no excuse for riping people off to better someone elses life. I would never steel any thing from any one. Its just not write. This dream team has tought me that there is a lot of talent between the dream team. Good job on a job well done dream team.
When you stated that some one was missing in action i actually thought you were talking about me , becouse my computer broke again and had to get a loner while my other one does get fixed . I should have it back in 3 to 5 weeks, wich is way too long.
I am verry happy to be back and to try to play catch up , so i dont miss anything with this year's beuitiful HGTV dream home, that the dream team build for me/ who ever does win the home.
Well i dont think i am verry dumb , but i am con fused , becouse i cant see the surprise that i have so much waited for. The special feature i am not able to see it. I was hoping for an elevator , but im not able to see anything new that i didnt already know about. Maybe i hope to find out what the surprise is at a later date. How hard would it be to put an elevator in to this beuitifull HGTV dream home. Well what does ervery body think so far of this years HGTV dream home? I know that i would still love to be the big winner, and it could happen, You just never know. I still love this home . The view is just like a post card. Thanks dream team
I can say that i am still just as excited as i have allway's been about this years fabulous HGTV dream home. I do look so foreward to go and explore with my disposable camera. The individuals who recently riped me off with in my storage unit took erverything that was worth money except my watch collection. I lost my exbox 360 elite with 10 games along with my wii with 6 games, so i can say that it did b ring me to tear's. I have never hurt any body in my life . i onle try to help people. I dod loose half of my state 25 cent pices , that were not cerculated. I dont know what to do, However i did report this burglary to the twin falls county sherriffs department. I will allways be pist about this, but i will live for tomarrow. And im allways going to try to have a good attitude. I am not happy, but im going to be ok as long as i am alive. And i need to keep myself busy collecting aluminum cans to try to make more money. I still do need to be able to feed myself . We all do need to eat.
The inside of this year's HGTV dream home is more beuitiful than i emagined, wich really makes me want to live in stowe vermont. This would be a perfect place for my to live the rest of my life. I am so verry excited, and happy at the same time. Thanks to the dream team for such a good job well done. Nice job. MERRY CHRISTMAS and a happy new year for 2011. Awsome as i would say
Just to put this out there just, becouse i am single and have never been married. This doe's not mean i am a bad person, however i am hoping to some day get married and possibly have some children. I do love my nices and nefew's verry much. I am a god father twice. I actually have never had a girl friend, but i have been on a total of 3 dates in 15 year's. I would still love to go and protect the freedom that so many people take for granit. I wish there we were not in this war, and we should bring all our troop's home. On the new's they had mentioned that the war is over, however our government sent 2000 more trrop's into harm's way. I do pray for our troops to come home safe ervery day. I am verry happy that i am alive
if you have an Box APO AP address can you still enter?
One of my favorite spaces is the spaw, and the main bedroom. If i were the winner i will get some post cards made with me sitting in front of the HGTV dream home. I will send them to ervery one who want's to have one. This home just like monica said lookes just like a post card. It woiuld be really cool
I really just want to put something on the table really fast. Some one blogger said he ,or she thinks the home should go to a married couple with children. I haven't yet be married , but i am verry open to that idea, and of course i do love children. I have two god son' who belong to my sister , and my older brother. I would love to sone day have children of my own. I can say that i will appreciate this beuitifull HGTV dream home as much as a family would.I do have a family who will accupie the home with me. I really just wanted to make this clear. Thank's dream team for all of your amazing tallent
I could picture my four kids with their friends in the ski dorm, but I think the Dream Home winner should be anyone who enters, regardless of their family situation. It is a great home for entertaining, which I love to do. In fact my youngest son asked if we won if we'd invite the family and friends to come there for Easter dinner. Since the house sleeps 14, that means only 8 of our visitors could stay overnight, unless they don't mind bringing cots & sleeping bags, lol. At least there are many beautiful lodges, resorts, and bed & breakfasts in Stowe, since it is about a 5 hr. drive. Knowing our family & friends they'd just stay at the dream home even if they had to be on the floor or a chair, since being together is one of the best parts of any holiday. I do hope whoever wins does not sell the Dream Home, but I have heard the income tax on prizes is exorbitant. It would be heartbreaking to win, then have to let go of something so beautiful.
I would enjoy this HGTV dream home just as much or even more than a family would.. I do however have a really big family that would come with me to live in this home. It's not likethere isnt plenty of room.
Well i am just checking in to see what is new today? I was hoping to see another video of super fan Gail , but the video has been about 3 day's old. I do hope to see something new before the next year get's here. I hope erveryone had a good christmas, and have a safe new year 2011. I will also do my best to have a good new year. I was born ready to start enteri ng this fabulous givaway. I am still just as excited as i have allway's been. I do look up to the HGTV dream home team, becouse when they build such a big beuitiful home like the one this year it tells me that anything is possible. I only wish that i was able to build my own home. I have a lot of tallent, but my tallent is a lot different. I couldn't build my own home. I wish that i could. Thanks dream team. Keep up the good work.
I also love the HGTV dream home. I cant wait to see it up close and personel. I am glad that some one had mentioned to me that i shouldn't have to worry about forest fires. This has allway's been a fear of mine. I am glad that the trees are far enough away from the home , so that i dont have to worry too much. I do look forward to when we will be able to start entering to win this awsome HGTV dream home. This will be my dream any way's. Its getting closer with each day that goe's by.
Well blogger its almost time to start entering to win this wounderful home. Its so hard to wait, but we the bloggers dont have long to wait now just over one day. This hole year 2010 has gone by so fast. Half of this year i did spend watchins this beuitifull home being built. It was really amazing watching the dream team build this home. You wouldent belive how well they put it together. I am glad that the floors are heated. I do wish that i had the knowledge to build my own home like this one. But i would really like to win this HGTV 2011 dream home, and this is my dream.
Hey Gail my favorite space could have been above the car barn. Yes this year's HGTV dream home is in a beuitifull location like they are ervery year so far. I really like the one that was won last year by the DR myra. I think that was her name. But you really cant dwell on the past, and what you could of had. I did get alot of entries in but it just wasn't my turn to be the winner.Gail just becouse i am single and never been married does not mean that i wouldnt appreciate the home as much as a Mother, Father, and kids would. I know that i do appreciate erverything our heavinly father does , and provides me with ervery day is allways a new experience, That is why i carry a disosable camera with me , and i explore to see what im able to find. It does keep me busy.
My exploring does keep me verry busy when i do have spare time. Last night i went for a small 2 to 3 mile ride on my cart that i drive around. By the time i got home it was not snowing yet , however my face felt like it was falling off as well as my finger's. I ran my hands under hot water when i get home for a few minetes to get feeling back in my . Thanks dream team for letting me be a part of history in the naking
Good morning everbloggy and Gail and HGTV dream team. Goodmorning and a HAPPY NEW YEAR . I celebrated new years with my mom and family at my aunts home 3 miles east of were im living right now. But i went over at 630 P.M. Watched the ball drop on tv ordered pizza from pizza hut. 1 large pizza for ten dallars a pice not to forget the two dallors shipping and handling charge. I left the party just after the ball dropped. I got home at 1 a.m. , and am reporting to the other bloggers that i am having a good new year's so far, now that i didn't get ran over by any drunk drivers on my way home on my only means of transportation. I am safe and at home getting ready to get to bed. HAPY NEW YEAR'S 2011 Here I come
HAPPY NEW YEAR to my everbloggy comunity. I am Starting my year off just right sitting in front of my tv getting ready to watch the HGTV dream home float going in the parade. That flot is just huge.

Well the parade was anounced that it was starting then they took a comercial break. I do like jamie drury. I havent seen him on the video's so i was not sure if he would be back this year. And he is back , and that is good new's to me. HAPPY NEW YEAR
Hello Gail and the community know as the bloggers. I am glad that we are finally able to enter this fabulous give away. I have waited 6 long months for this day. I watched ervery step of this HGTV home get built and it was awsome. almost like i was there to take pictures of the home as it was being built. The dream team have done a good job with this HGTV dream home. Good Job DREAM TEAM
Thank you Gail for the info. The use of the kitchenette… to prep for the grill, is a great Idea! I have been wanting to move back to the east for quite some time now. There are 7 of us in one house, this would be the perfect solution. The showers in the ski dorm bathroom, would be excellent for my Mother in law, with the wheel chair to roll right in! So with such a beautiful house and such great amenities, I am entering everyday and praying for relief
Dear everbloggy. I am having a little bit of a problem entering this great giveaway on the frontdoor.com. The computer takes me to the web sitw, and then the entry for does go blank. I have no idea why its doing that. I would really like to get both of my entries in so that i can have a good chance to be the winner. The dream team is so amazing , and thanks alot.
Welcome to the blog Hudjon, Your thoughts are verry positive and supportive. Good luck with everything and entering this year's contest.Just a thought. Make sure you are logged into the HGTV blog, then go to Intense Debate and make sure you are logged on there.
I hope that ervery body has a good new year. So far i have had a good one , but we are only 5 day's into the new year. I am checking in to see what if any thing is new. The home i am sure does look as good as it allways will. I wouldn't change anything that the dream team has done to the home so far . except i would really like to see a room above the car barn. They sure had me fooled like a lot of people . we allthought for sure that there was a room on top of the car barn. The builder said in an interview that i had seen on here that it wouldn't take much to put a room above the car barn. It can be done. I am not complaining. I am just thinking of way's that i can make improvement's on the home. But i love erverything else , that the dream team has done with this years HGTV dream home.
I am glad that you feel like i supportive and possitive. This does mean a lot to me. I try to remain possitive so i dont think about my current situation. I am not in trouble or anything like that, but i do have a lot to overcome in my daily activities. I do remain possitive considering all that i have to be grateful for in my young life of 33 years old. I do try to be helpful to who ever does need help in any way. I look at this beuitifull home ervery day. I do look foreward to soaking myself in the hot tub next to a worm fiire. I love erverything about the home. Last year i packed all my clothes becouse i thought i would have won the home in NM, or i guess you could say that i was hoping. You just never do know who will win I am just making sure that all my entries are in so i do have a fair chance to be a winner.
I am just so grateful for erverything that i have. I want to thank ervery one at the HGTV dream team for letting me and all of us blggers to take a part in this special step into history. This does give me so much to look foreward to in the hopes this next year will be a good one for me. Thanks dream team.
I hope that you all are doing well. I am starting to pack my personal items, becouse i am moving from my appartment, But when i will find a new place to live i will make sure to change my address on my entries, so that the HGTV dream team can deliver the good news to me at the right address. When they anounce me the winner of this wounderful HGTV dream home, wich i would love to have. I will love all the many hours of exploring that i will do while living in stowe vermont. The dream team has so much talent . Good night . talk to you again in the morning
The little red building at the top of the page i think it is a ski lift chair. This is something i have never seen before. But it does look fun. I would love to live in the post card like setting in Stowe Vermont . Who wouldnt like to live there. I will be able to keep myself busy daily ex[poring the country and towns. It will be so cool. Maybe the first thing i could do is take a short nap in my master bedroom , becouse i would be tired from the long flight. I stii would love to take long soakings in my hot tub next to the fire. I am glad that i haven't yet missed any of my entries to win this awsome HGTV dream home. I do wish that i could have watched the home be built in person, but i did watch it get built on the net, allmost in person. Its just so cool.
I also have not been able to find out verry much about wild animals that i could take pictures of , like wild deer, or an elk or two. I love to watch wild life verry often. I have been taking care of wild squrells for almost 6 years so far. I still have one who does live with me. would you belive that she does come to me when i tell her too. I got her one week before easter last year. She is my little baby. I still have my cat, and the two sugar glyders who still do bite verry hard. But i do still love them. Even when they do bite me. I am still hoping to see a video with monica pederson in it. I did get to see her on the january first. Well talk to you agaiun tommorow. Good night
Hi, I live in New England, MA, but I think VT has similar wildlife. In our suburban community we have deer, turkey, raccoons, skunk, opossum, and more. I'm sure you might spot a moose or two in Vermont also. This gorgeous home has such a great view, I'm sure you'd love it with or without the wild animals. Just keep entering, I do. I finally decided to write comments since I really do hope a blogger wins. I love watching American Pickers too. My sons got me interested, they could watch it all day. I think the dream home is perfect the way it is. I wouldn't change a thing, but maybe bring a few of those unique "American Picker" style things from home, so I'd feel the place was really mine & I wasn't just visiting. Good luck.
Well i am just checking in to see whats new. There are the same videos from Gail. and the pictures , and videos of the HGTV dream home has not changed. I do wish that we all down here in twin falls Idaho had snow like they do in Stowe Vermont. I am still trying to find out what kind of wild animals are in Vermont, so that i will be able to take pictures of with my disposable cameras, wich i do enjoy doing alot. I have been watching a show called american pickers. You wouldnt belive what some old junk can be worth. I do still love erverything about this years HGTV dream home. All that i can see is just perfect for me. I wouldnt change anything, except put in an elevator. Erveerything else is good to me.
Well i am sitting here thinking about this years HGTV dream home, and would love to win the home. I am sure that ervery one on the blogg hopes to be the winner. There is not nothing that i wouldnt do for HGTV , or any one for that matter. My goal all along is to make sure that all my entries get in , so that i have a fair chance to be the winner this year finally. I feel like OUR hevinly father above has a lot to do with who ever does win the HGTV dream home. I know for myself OUR heavinly father is the only reason why i am still alive. I am just so thankful to be alive today , and still have achance to make a differance in our environment. At least i have been able to get a lot of people to start recycling products,wich otherwise would have went to the land field to get burried under tons of dirt.
