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 homeschooled two kids K-12 and all the way through, I was DIYing in my spare time. I always joke I could’ve been a DIY blogger had there been blogs when I started DIY’ing! Yes, youngins, there was a time when the Internet did not exist–nor did ORB spray paint!

    Sort of nerds-ville here but I am an Excel whiz. Got a job after being out of school a few years and it was heavy into Excel. Google to the rescue! Now I’m the go-to person at work.

    I’m talented! I pick up things/learn really easily. I got through engineering school (with a pretty decent GPA) while working full time (finished in 4 years) and never studied for a single test. :)

    I’m talented!

    I can remember numbers like a champ. For example, you only have to tell/show me your phone number/social security number/birth date once and it’s pretty much emblazoned in my mind forever. Metal trap!

    I play the violin but my friends will tell you my most hilarious talent is making animals out of towels.

    I’M TALENTED!! I have an amazing memory & can recall song lyrics from 30+ years ago. My sister & I play a game where we text each other a snippet of lyric, and the other has to complete the line. I rarely miss!

    I’m Talented! Not really, I can’t sing, I did run and did gymnastics and cheerleading in High School, but I’d probably break my neck now if I tried to run hurdles or do flips! I’m crafty I guess, I can sew and I’m pretty good at wielding hand tools, so those may be my new talents :)

    I can over-think anything. I can see way too many viewpoints, possibilities, and potential consequences, to ever make any decision easy.

    I am constantly asked by our friends and family when I’ll be opening my own restaurant. Not likely since I am a full-time music teacher with a very busy schedule, but I’m glad they like my cooking!

    I’m talented!!! :)

    I am a MASTER Goodwill clothing shopper- I have found 2(!) different $300+ Tahari suits at Goodwill! One interviewer actually asked where I got my suit because she had the same one, and I blushed a little and said ‘Goodwill.’ She just laughed and said that I definitely got a better deal! (And I got the job!) haha

    I’M TALENTED! I love to paint, re-purpose or hack Craigslist, Goodwill and garage sale finds to decorate my home. I also play the flute and alto sax.

    “I’M TALENTED”

    I have an absolute talent for remembering useless knowledge, I am currently on speed dial for at least 3 friends and a couple of others in the case they ever have to “phone a friend.” In fact…they do it sometimes if they don’t want to look something up!

    I’m talented! I can turn my feet around so they are nearly backwards… Although that’s not happening any time soon due to bed rest until further notice!

    I can condense and tell movies/tv shows so the person that missed it doesn’t need to watch it, a talent my husband has pointed out to me and I can wiggle my ears!

    I am a really great improviser – Somehow I can make things work with very limited options. Great talent as a teacher.
