Meet the Winner of Blog Cabin 2012
Clockwise from top:Josephine and David Turner, a Turner family vacation, Blog Cabin 2012.
Josephine Turner is the proud winner of the Blog Cabin 2012 Giveaway. Her winning entry was received via HGTVRemodels.com on September 26, 2012.
This proud Butler, Ky., native and her husband, David, have been married 49 years and are the proud parents of four children. Ten adorable grandchildren range in age from 2 to 25. “They are truly the joy of my life,” she says.
Josephine, who has participated in the Blog Cabin Giveaway for the past four years, entered the 2012 sweepstakes twice a day, almost every day, throughout the giveaway entry period. She was attracted not only by the home’s location (“Maine is a lot like Kentucky. It’s a beautiful, wooded hilly area,” she says), but the home’s rustic-chic interior design. Her favorite room? The kitchen.
“My head was still spinning,” says Josephine, when recalling the moments immediately following the phone call from DIY Network. “It sounded almost too good to be true. It’s so much to wrap my head around, that I actually won this wonderful gift.”
Josephine has received nothing but support and congrats from her closest friends and family. “They’ve said, ‘It couldn’t have happened to a nicer person.’ And to me, that’s a wonderful compliment.”
Her advice for other Blog Cabin enthusiasts? “Keep entering, keep entering,” she says. “The day you skip is the day you might have won.”
Congratulations !
Congrats to Ms Josephine Turner & family !! So happy to hear it was a fellow Kentuckian that won, but I Especially want to say Congrats on nearly 50 years of marriage together, that's the real prize here, I believe…
Hi Camac or anyone else that lives near there,
have you seen anyone (the Turners) at the house yet? Just wondering if they show up for Thanksgiving with the family. If not then maybe they will for Christmas, I can't believe they could win the home and never visit it before they sell it, (if that is still what they plan to do with it). I know I would want to spend sometime in it before I sold it.
reply from an email….
There has been no sign of activity there at all. The basement light has been on, but otherwise nothing. I , too, would have been anxious to come up and see the place. I assume basic heating has been left on and obviously the power is still on. As you say, maybe they'll come up for Christmas- unless they're waiting for warmer weather. Good to hear from you, hope you have a wonderful Christmas season. Carole
Congratulations to the winners. Do winners have to be married? I've never seen anyone one a DIY or HGTV home who isn't currently a couple.
that should have read "win", not "one"
shes white not native

Just wondering if the Turner family made it to Maine for Christmas. Have any of you locals seen anyone at my dream home?

Hi Rhonda,
Thank you for the update on BC2012. If you should happen to notice a For Sale sign posted in front would you please let me know? Happy New Year!
Ken
sure be glad too.
Ken, so far there is no "For Sale" sign or any sign of activity at all. The lights embedded in the deck steps do still come on at night, but otherwise nothing is happening.
