HGTV has posted its 2008 Sweepstakes Dream Home. It’s beautiful as always. This year it’s in the Florida Keys. MMMmmm, I’m dreaming of living there, especially since we’re currently in the middle of a winter storm here in Ohio. This is probably my favorite home location to date. I would love a winter home in the Keys.

The Dream Home Sweepstakes runs from January 1st to February 19th. You can enter up to once a day. The total grand prize package is worth more than 2.2 million dollars! Wow!

You can check out the details and see the beautiful view, and inside photos of the house at HGTV Dream Home Central.

Don’t forget to enter! I know I won’t!
