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 have the ability to remember important dates (birthdays, anniversaries, events) forever and ever. Probably taking up valuable space in my brain and hence why I can’t remember why I went to Target when I’m standing at the entrance (to drop $100 on new lamp shades?!?).

    I’M TALENTED!! It’s not exactly original, but I play the piano! But favorite part about it, though, is that I teach piano to 13 amazing kids who also share my love of music!

    I’M TALENTED! I can draw with both hands at the same time. It freaked out my college figure studies professor.

      You’re like Leonardo da vinci!That fascinates me. I would totally watch a video of someone drawing with both hands. I don’t think that’s something you could easily just cultivate either. You are special!

    I am another one with a weird memory. I can often remember odd days and times.. what people were wearing etc. And when I was in school and studying, during tests I could often recall which books and where on a page information was in my head. Weird I know. I couldn’t read back a page for you but I could remember the general set up.

    My talent is probably being able to train any dog I come across, I haven’t run across a dog with an issue I couldn’t tackle yet :)

    I’m talented! Actually I feel more like a jack of a few trades, master of none. But I love trying.

    I can find lost items. My husband searches for 20+ minutes for his keys/wedding ring/notes/mail and I can usually find the item within 60 seconds of helping him look.

    I’m Talented!! Well actually not really. I do some things very well like cooking and crafts, but would I win awards, probably not.

    I’m Talented! I can bring my arms around my head without letting go (kind of like when King Louie jumps rope with his own arms in “The Jungle Book” … just without the “jumping over my own arms” part). I also make a mean oatmeal chocolate chip cookie!

    I can grow tomatoes anywhere. I planted cilantro this spring and sprouted a tomato plant. I dropped some tomato seeds last year and had a jungle of tomato plants.
