Fab Freebie: Talent Show

***This giveaway is now closed – see who won below!***

This week’s randomly selected winner is… Sheilagh (who’s talents lie in “all aspects of art and being crafty!”). Congrats!

One of the most exciting parts of doing a project is getting to share the sweat-inducing results when it’s done. And that’s the idea behind HouseTalent, a free site where you can easily upload before pics, progress shots, and after photos of the DIYs that are going on in your digs. The friendly interface makes browsing other peoples’ accomplishments just as easy as uploading your own inspiration – from small furniture builds to major room overhauls. And to help you get some of your projects ready to share, HouseTalent is giving away a $250 gift card to World Market this week. Speaking of the world, this giveaway is available internationally – so if World Market doesn’t ship to you, you can select a local alternative for your gift card.

      Hey, I have that talent too! I once fell asleep against my husband’s back while at a rock concert. Luckily for me, he doesn’t dance around too much!

      I’m talented!

      I too can sleep through anything! Movies at the theater, parties, etc etc. Also, after buying our first house a year ago, I’ve discovered that I actually have a pretty great interior decorating streak. YAY!

    No one outside of my little high school knows I can play the saxophone. Someday I’m just going to bust it out and surprise my in-laws and friends. :)

      I’m not being sarcastic, you should totally do that! I think the sax is so cool! That has the potential to be an excellent memory one day. I’d love to learn.

    I’M TALENTED!

    I can play the piano, dance, and sing. I have also been known to rap in French. And I can recite most of your favorite animated holiday specials from memory.

    Every Who down in Who-ville liked Christmas a lot…

    “I’M TALENTED” If I see a picture of a craft….I can usually make it. Can’t sing or dance though.

    I can wiggle my ears together, and one at a time (thank you for recognizing this as a talent by the way, I’m much too modest to admit to being good at anything else- haha)!

    I’m talented! I can play guitar and ukulele, but not that great. Good thing my daughter can’t tell and she loves it.

    I’M TALENTED! I’m a very quick reader and good at researching… not much of a talent, but it’s the best I have!

    Well not too much talent over here but if anything, I’d say my baking skills make friends and family very happy when I bring over sweets! = )

    I’m talented… I have a crazy detailed memory, and will often say things like, “Yes, XYZ happened on May 10, 2009, and I remember that because it was a Saturday and it rained that morning.”

    “I’M TALENTED”

    My “special” talent is being able to tell a make and model of a car from the shape of its headlights or taillights at night. Also, in general, I am really good at knowing what a make and model is of a car even from far away. I have no interest in cars, so I have no idea why I have this ability. lol
