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.

    I’m talented! I’m good at languages, I speak fluent German, can read a little Russian, and know a handful of French phrases an Italian living in Germany taught me. When I watch any foreign language film, by about halfway through I can stop reading sub-titles will just..understand the language.

    I’M TALENTED!! (picture me raising my hand and shouting that out like a first grader! haha)
    I like to think I’m a talented graphic designer extraordinaire. I’m also extremely talented at being me. And that has to count for something, right?

    I’M TALENTED . . .I’ve got laser vision.

    i.e. I can see or at least envision the end/final product right from the beginning. (I’m really good at the “What do you want your life to be like in 10/20 yrs types of questions.)

    The blessing part of this is that I easily know what to grab and what to toss along the way. The curse part is that this can make it difficult to play well with others when they find you tossing their stuff, their ideas, etc. Maybe BALANCE can be a new talent to work on! :)

    “I’M TALENTED”

    I can wiggle my nose like Samantha on Bewitched! I grew up watching the reruns. And there, I just dated myself. :)

    I’m talented! I can play the nose flute! (Ever heard of it? A tiny plastic instrument, about the size of a kazoo, that goes over your nose and mouth, and you breath through your nose to play. It’s a good ice-breaker to keep in your purse for parties.)

    I’M TALENTED!!!

    … I can touch my tongue to my nose… and not just to the septum… all the way to the tip. My husband thinks it’s gross. Oh, and I can type really fast.

    I’m talented!

    I was pretty excited when I discovered that I can wiggle my ears. I developed those muscles while trying to keep my glasses from sliding down my nose.

    I’m talented …

    but I could still use 250 big ones to purchase something at World Market and save a little bit of DIY time :)

    Thanks for the give away!

    I”M TALENTED

    My husband calls me a “human level”. I can always tell when something is crooked or spaced unevenly just by looking at it.

    I’M TALENTED! :)

    I can do this weird thing with my tongue where I can fold it in half and keep it that way. It’s hard to explain! I’ve never met anyone else that can do it though!

    I’M TALENTED!!!

    I actually am a musician, but I would say my most prized talent is that I can whistle through my nose.

    I can make dinner out of what seems like nothing. A talent developed because I hate the grocery store!

    I’m talented! My talent is knowing exactly what song is on the radio less than a second after it starts.

    I’M TALENTED!

    I’m good at just about anything I try, but interesting talents are wiggling my ears, curling my tongue, popping my ankles (it’s super loud and grosses some people out), and flipping my eyelids and lips. I can’t promise that I can do those at the same time, but otherwise I’m chock-full of talent.
