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…every time you think I’ve exhausted the possibilities for new ways to spill coffee on myself, I come up with a new one.

    I’m talented! I have an irritating ability to recall conversations where my partner said he’d do something word for word :-P

    I can definitely wiggle my ears, do the “ocho-ocho”, and I have no problem finding things that are meant to be hidden!

    **LOL**

    Lately, my most special talent is being able to function on almost no sleep for years!

    You guys should definitely know that I can totally wiggle my ears, do the “ocho-ocho”, and I have no problem finding things that are meant to be hidden! My grandma told me it’s a unique gift :))

    I’M TALENTED! I can finish a college degree, chase after a toddler, do all housework while my husband is on month 8 of 12 hour night shifts, plan our move to DC…all while living in England and being 4,500 miles away from family/help. (It makes me tired just to write that!)

    I can sleep literally anywhere, and especially in vehicles, which is pretty useful (when I’m not driving)! I attribute this talent to my parents driving me around the neighborhood when I was a baby to get me to fall asleep.

    I’M TALENTED !
    I have a real strong memory, like an elephant. I remember what people said at all times, where they were standing, what they were wearing at the time, etc. It still baffles my fiancé that I can recall our conversations with this accuracy!

    “I’M TALENTED” I have very flexible joints,so I can do things like reach my hand behind my back and wave to you over my opposite shoulder.
    I can also lock my pointer finger and then shoot it forward, bend my thumbs backward, or bend my hand sideways until my thumb is touching my radius.
    My kids think I am freaky! My physiotherapist thinks I am a goldmine!

    I’m so talented, I can use the restroom, pull up my jeans, button them, and wash my hands while holding one of my babies, and fending off the other.

    I’M TALENTED! I am very, very good at… packing: both packing the right stuff for a particular kind of trip AND at being able to fit a ton into a small bag.

    I’M TALENTED! I don’t have any outstanding talents. But I’ve been told times and again that I make the “best lasagna ever” – so maybe that counts as a talent.

    I’m talented! My partner thinks my ability to find anything that he reckons is lost is pretty special.
