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” . . . at finding creative ways to procrastinate when I should be working, like reading your blog. Womp womp.

    I’m talented at getting places on time even though I’ve left my house with an impossible amount of time to get there. And I don’t speed!

    I love to bake, and sometimes, the delicious result shows a smidge of talent. Most often though, it’s just the butter and sugar doing their magic.

    Because I can see outlines of different things in random places. Like a face in a slab of stone, a turtle in the clouds, etc. (It’s really true!)

    I taught myself how to knit off you-tube tutorials, and now it’s a big hobby of mine! :)

    It’s probably not a very useful skill – or very interesting to others – but I’m very good at remembering faces in tv, movies, commercials, etc. Yes, I’m ‘that girl’ that has to blurt out “Hey, that’s the guy from that movie we saw last week!” when I’m watching something.

    I can bake! (I’m also really good at eating.)

    I’m also a world-class worrier. If I can figure out a way to make money from worrying, I will be a billionaire someday!

    I’m talented- I sew clothes for my kids. It started from necessity with a son heading to school and unable to snap his pants by himself. Now he totally takes advantage and dreams up these crazy outfits for me to make.

    I used to polevault – not olympic level mind you, but I felt pretty fancy just even trying it!

    I’m talented! I am great at everything artsy, crafty and creative. I guess my Art degree didn’t quite go to waste.

    I’m a completely self-taught decorator and have recently had requests from friends to begin some renovation/decorating projects for them…Who knows, it could turn into a business…

    IM TALENTED: I can walk on my hands like a champ! Once I walked on my hands to get into a bar because I didn’t have money for the cover charge. Those were my college days…I could still do it though ;)

    I have this weird ability to remember actors and sometimes even directors in all the films I’ve ever seen (which is kinda of a lot). I’m the go-to for family and friends to which they ask: “Mandy, who was in such and such movie?” Or “Amanda, which director directed this film and that film?” I’ve solved many debates. :)

    I’m talented! I have a talent for reading music/playing instruments but no interest at all. Sad, huh?

    hmmmm I’ve never really thought of myself having any special talents but I guess I’m pretty good at DIYing :)

    I’m Talented! My skill lies in “copying”. I can draw/paint, do most artsy stuff, but the subject matter has to have a reference for me to “copy” by looking at it and recreating it. In the same regard I am very good at “copying” by reading instructions, such as cooking, baking, diy, teaching myself origami etc.

    No “special” talent per say, but I can sketch the heck out of a floor plan!

    I love putting floor plans together to see what we can do in our house to change things up! Ohh, if only i had $40K to make ideas a reality! Come on Florida Lotto!
