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 have a memory for dates, names, and numbers that my husband considers frightening. ;-)

    I’M TALENTED – Dancing is my talent :) Salsa dancing is my thing, and a funny thing happened a week ago. I was at a Salsa festival in Copenhagen, Denmark and there I was dancing with someone I had never met before and all I could think about was how much he reminded me of John! It felt silly, yet funny. Turns out that this guy is from Finland, but unfortunately I didn’t catch his name. So John, you have a double somewhere in Finland who dances salsa :)

    My special talent is I have a pretty good knack for baking! I’ve never been someone who spends a lot of time in the kitchen (seriously, my fiance cooks 90% of our dinners!) but my baking adventures seem to turn out pretty successful most of the time!

    I love all things art (crafting too)… finding the time to do those things I am not so talented at though!

    I have a crazy good sense of direction and usually know my way around an area after being there just once!

    My talent seems really lame at first. I can remember really random things. But it comes in super handy when my husband/children have lost something and I remember where I saw it three days ago for 1 second as I walked through a room :) My husband is all the time saying “I can’t believe you remembered that!”

    I’M TALENTED! My ninja skill (my husband’s and my term for those weird crazy talents we all have) is catching stuff. My husband constantly throws stuff at me just to see if he can get me to fumble. :)

    I would say my special talent is painting…but my fiance would disagree with sandpaper in hand!

    I’m talented! I am the best person I know at putting off laundry… a skill that came very naturally to me.

    I’m talented! Not really at anything special. Although I have a very good memory. Not sure if that’s a talent.

    I can pick things up with my feet. I can also turn door nobs and open doors with my feet. My husband tells me I have crazy monkey feet. I’m glad that if anything ever happens and I lose my arms/hands I’ll probably be okay and just do everything with my feet!

    I’m not so great at home improvement (A for effort?) but I can run marathons in under three hours.
