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 get anywhere….it’s like I was born with a built in GPS/Compass. Directions come very naturally to me!

    “I’M TALENTED”. . . my special talent is my inability to wink. Seriously. I can’t do it.

    I’m talented! I wrangle me three sons under age 6 and make it look easy! (Okay, the boy wrangling is true, but the easy part? Not so much. I do love every day with my little wild boys even if they do keep me on my toes constantly!)

    I’M TALENTED…..well, I have difficulty remembering names but somehow I have an almost photographic memory for book covers…..don’t ask me why. I can visualize books that I read in elementary school….what can I use that for? Absolutely nothing….weird talent.

    I’M TALENTED! I’ve been doing ballet for the last 20 years, and I’d like to think I’m pretty good by now!

    I keep track of friends’ family members with uncanny detail (parents, siblings, siblings children, the fact that someone moved recently, had a baby, etc.)

    I’M TALENTED. I am the only person I know who can touch their tounge to their nose. You just tried it, didn’t you? :) But seriously, I can. Lol

    I’m Talented!
    I can multi-task like a mutha! With 3 children under 7 and a full time job…catching up on work email while making dinner, doing a load of laundry/dishes, packing tomorrow’s lunch, looking at kids art projects and answering to the “mom, mommy, mom” calls all simultaneously takes talent! And a lot of patience! :)

    I’M TALENTED! I’m a good dancer! Nowadays I only get to show off my moves at weddings, but I’ll take what I can get.

    My special talent is being able to carve really complex and detailed pumpkins at Halloween. Every year people come just to see my pumpkins!

    I’m really really organized. I used to have a very good memory, but then I had kids. Now I remember everything because I’m organized about it.

    My special talent is an amazing sense of direction! And I like Jessica’s comment above about her having a song for every word!

    My talent is being able to wake 3 kids, make breakfast, get my toddler dressed, pack lunches, get myself ready, and get us all out the door on time.

    I know it’s nothing special, but I still feel like Superwoman when I pull it off!

    Talent Me!

    I can’t sing or dance and I am better with a paint roller than a paint brush. Just got a sewing machine this year so not sure if that will be a talent. Hmm…I know this will probably sound corny but I think my gift is making people feel like they are safe and can talk to me because I will listen.
