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’ve got the best sense of smell and continue to amaze my friends and family when I can walk into a place and go “it smells like….”

    I’m Talented!

    I have an uncanny ability for remembering trivial facts. My friends are completely used to hearing me say, “Did you know…” on a daily basis. I get the occasional strange look from people who don’t know me well. I just shrug & say I watch too much Jeopardy.

    I’M TALENTED… My hubby says I’m “really good at making someone out of nothing.” Meaning – I can whip up a fab dinner from random and limited food.

    I’M TALENTED

    I can make balloon animals and origami… and the best part is, I don’t even know how I know to do these things. Seriously. I’ve known since I was a little kid… must be from a past life. :)

    I have a strangely good memory and remember every date thrown my way… so much so that I have to lie about my memory sometimes and act like I DON’T remember!!

    I have talent decorating and furnishing our house on an almost completely thrift and craiglist budget. Double jointed knuckles come in handy too!

      I’m talented! I have a wealth of random music knowledge. My family calls me all the time with “who is that guy, that sings that song, it goes… La la la la la”. I 9 times out of 10, I know it.

    “I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious”- Einstein. That about sums it up :)

    I’M TALENTED! Music is my thing — playing piano for church nearly every weekend, and french horn when I can get away from the piano.

    I’m talented at being cheap and researching items to make sure I get the cheapest price for the best items.

    I’m Talented! I have a knack for relating to people (can that be a talent?) I just love listening and chatting :) I’m also an artist, but I don’t consider that as much a talent as a part of me!

    I’M TALENTED!!

    I can touch my tongue to my nose, and I have some pretty stellar Excel skills. Yeah, I’m clearly a pretty great catch. :)

    I’M TALENTED! I am learning to play the guitar, so it’s not quite a talent but I hope someday it will be!

    I’m told I have a talent for solving unsolvable problems! …unless it’s math, in which case, don’t bring it near me.

    I’m talented!
    I can bathe two active kiddos and only get soaking wet, not sopping wet, on a good day! Maybe this would spark a bathroom redo?

    I have a passion for photography. I think I’m pretty talented at it, not to sound conceited. :) I do enjoy it!

    I’M TALENTED

    I don’t know if it’s a talent per se, but after being a nanny and baby sitter for years, I have perfected “THE LOOK” that moms give when the kiddo is in trouble with a capital T, all without saying a word. I consider it a talent because I am not actually a mom and I spent my childhood thinking that was prerequisite for making THE LOOK.

    I’M TALENTED! I’m not all that talented, but I love to sing. I’ve been told I have an Alison Krauss-esk voice.. don’t know about that!

    I’m talented because I have a crazy memory and as a result, can sing things like It’s the End of the World as We Know It and We Didn’t Start the Fire on cue.

    I’M TALENTED!

    My husband says my talent is cooking. However, the only thing he can cook is frozen waffles, so I’m not sure I trust his evaluation, hahaha :)
