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 pretty good at problem solving and figuring things out. It comes in handy with all my projects I have around here. Now only if I were talented in finishing one before I start another…

    I LOVE public speaking and came in first in the state for impromptu speaking when I was in college and competing.

    “I’M TALENTED” I have an artistic eye for details and I’m pretty good at landscaping and baking. The true talent in the family is my daughter…super smart, plays multiple instruments, sings, dances and speaks several languages.

    I’M TALENTED!!! My friends say my talent is in seeing value in things that aren’t necessarily easily apparent – I’m a thrift shopping fiend :)

    I was gonna say I don’t really have a special talent, but I can totally wiggle my ears!

    I can walk through a broomstick. It’s hard to explain but it’s an awesome party trick and looks very impressive. :D

    I’m able to recall all the song lyrics. All of them. (I just wish I were better at actually singing!)

    I am really good with directions! If I drive somewhere I can always find my way back. I’m definitely out family’s navigator!

    I’m TALENTED! I can read a few ancient (no longer spoken) languages … quite useless outside of research, but still!

    Just like SarahC, I also have a crazy detailed memory for every random and unimportant detail of the past. I think it is fun.

    I think my biggest talent is healthy cooking. I think I have a knack for taking something that would typically be heart-attack inducing, and re-inventing it into a healthy alternative.

    I’M TALENTED!

    I have an odd knack for being able to find the last puzzle piece to complete a section of a puzzle – especially for other people’s puzzles.

    I’m talented! I’m a puzzle wizz (and nope, I’m not 80, despite what my husband likes to say about people who enjoy puzzles) – both numbers and actually puzzles with pieces. My specialty is definitely black and white puzzles greater than 1500 pieces. It’s weird – I know. Haha!
