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 list all of the countries of the world (and their capitals) in alphabetical order. Not sure if that’s talent or sheer nerdiness!

    I have random knowledge and random skills that seem to come in really handy at odd times. Maybe because I like to think outside the box? Thanks for the giveaway!

    I’m pretty crafty! I can crochet, sew, and cross-stitch. I also make jewelry and stained glass panels.

    I’m talented! I’m REALLY good at research. If it is on the internet, I WILL find it :). This comes in handy at work, working on my historic house, and planning my wedding.

    Give me a few sticks of butter or a ball of yarn and you’ll have something home baked or crocheted pretty quick!

    I’m talented!

    I can learn all the lyrics to a song after only a couple listens. Comes in super handy when I join the cast of a local theatre group for a musical every year!!

    I’M TALENTED! I can duplicate almost any craft, whether its painting, jewelry, etc. It won’t be my original idea but I can sure make some neat stuff =)

    I’M TALENTED!

    I love to knit! I can wiggle my nose, sculpt pumpkins into the creepiest faces ever, so much so that the man will not allow them in the house. I can also bake up a storm, identify almost any berry bush, make the best berry pie you will ever taste and enjoy every moment!

    And I have an eidetic memory.

    I’m Talented! I was given the gift of music. I can sing, play the sax, and dabble on the piano…not all at the same time of course.

    I have a pretty decent singing voice. It often takes people by surprise because I’m not one to outwardly brag about it often.

    I don’t have a “photographic” memory but I don’t forget much. My friends always marvel about how much I can remember about specific situations, people, etc. It’s like Marliu Henner but without the specifics.

    I have the ability to get a good deal on things most people would pay full price for. In my family I’m called the bargain shopper.

    I’M TALENTED!!! I can wiggle my ears ;) I also have a very good sense of direction :) Most likely due to a huge fear of getting lost!

    I’m Talented! I can sleep almost anywhere at anytime. Although we are having a baby soon so those days are numbered.

    I’m talented! I can analyze and explain finances and complex financial questions to people who do not have any financial expertise. I don’t do anything related to this in my job, but sometimes I feel like I should….

    I’M TALENTED

    I can memorize a credit card number, expiration, and code in 30 seconds and repeat it back to you a month or a year later. I only use this talent to wow my friends not to steal from them. :)

    I’M TALENTED! I have a talent for amusing comments on anything from car colour to someone’s baking…which thankfully make people laugh rather than cry!

    My claim to fame is being an artist, but I can also say that alphabet faster backwards than I can forwards!
