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 memorized “The mion and the louse”, a spoonerism of The Lion and the Mouse, when I was 12. I can still recite it 43 years later!

    I can always remember the outfit someone was wearing the first time I met them. I know, I know, it’s quite the party trick : )

    I’M TALENTED! I’m pretty good at painting and drawing, which makes me the “cutter inner” when it comes to room painting :)

    I like to joke that sleeping is my talent/super power—I’m good at falling asleep in odd places and falling back to sleep once awoken!

    I’m the world’s greatest task-avoider/procrastinator. I’m supposed to be doing something else RIGHT NOW!

    I am kind of lying here bc I’m not the most talented person you’ve ever met but I can make a mean chocolate chip cookie and I can probably eat more than anyone else!

    I can sew, and I can draw. I used to draw portraits professionally, to earn money in high school and college.

    I can do many things…there just isn’t time. Run, sew, garden, redo houses, cooking. I wish my talents showed, just not time!

    I am “double jointed” in several joints. It really just means I’m overly flexible but it’s fun to freak people out with it.
