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 a decent writer. I also have a knack for knowing when a cake is done, despite what the timer says. Is that an actual talent?

    I’M TALENTED!

    I think my talent would have to be knowing a little about a lot. Sounds weird but whenever someone asks me if I’ve heard of something, I always have a little bit of info for them. Don’t ask me anything about history though…it goes in one ear and out the other. I would love to win this, BTW, I have a set of chairs that were rain-checked and I’m waiting for the call any day!

    I don’t have a secret talent unless you count making a mess in the kitchen each and every time I cook as one.

    I’m talented! My talent is reading insanely fast. I purchased the last Sookie Stackhouse book the day it came out last week and had finished it within 4 hours (including breaks to cook dinner and walk the dog) :-)

    I’M TALENTED! My husband says “You’re a witch!!” when I quickly throw together spot-on graphics that he’s only vaguely described to me (and he means the good kind of witch, like in Harry Potter)! I heart Photoshop :)

    My talent is remembering odd facts, though it usually means I can’t remember important things.

    I’M TALENTED! I sing and am a songwriter. I majored in both in college and released my first EP last year. On the side, I am an expert list maker. Give me a pen and paper and I can show you my skills :-)

    I’m talented!

    I am slightly synaesthetic – while I don’t link color with smell, like some synaesthetes, in my case, I link numbers and colours. Blue plus yellow = 7. Always.

    Maybe? I’m not really sure. Maybe names. Mostly good with names. But if I don’t initially remember someone’s name, I will never ever be able to remember it.

    I don’t have any exciting talents, although I am detail oriented and I try to stay super organized!

    I’M TALENTED! I can make a decent quilt and fold my tongue into a four-leaf clover (arguably the more valuable talent, right?).
