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 can dance like Elane Bennis. It makes my four year old fall on the floor laughing.

    “I’M TALENTED”

    My special talent is making art projects out of wood planks and scraps of wood. I used to play the violin, and I sing but only for fun while driving in the car! And I have the least photographic memory ever, especially when it comes to remembering numbers and data. And nope, can’t wiggle my ears.

    I’M TALENTED! I don’t know if this is necessarily a talent but I’m pretty awesome with directions. I can go somewhere once and always remember how to get there.

    My talent is pop culture knowledge. Not really something to write home about, but it comes in handy quite often!

    what’s your special talent? I can saw the alphabet backwards

    Do you sing or play a musical instrument? I use to play flute.

    Do you have a photographic memory that wows all of your friends? I wish!

    Or can you wiggle your ears? I can lift one eyebrow.

    I’m talented. I definitely don’t have any special talents. But I can cook. I guess that’s my talent.

    My special talent is that I teach my kids at home, DIY and upcycle with my husband. We bought our first house when we were 19 and have loved the feeling when we fix things ourselves.

    I’m talented! I have an annoyingly good memory for television shows and movies. it’s annoying because I can find myself saying things like, oh no that character would never do that because they said ____ four seasons ago.

    I’M TALENTED! My talent is karaoke. I have little shame and some pretty great dance moves to go along with my rendition of Welcome to the Jungle.

    I can do (limited) mental math. And I’m proud of that since I’m an English teacher!
