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 raise my left eyebrow really intimidatingly. No joke, it freaks some people out. Can’t do a thing with the other one, but I make the most out of the one I can wiggle!

    I LOVE DIY projects and think that I’m not half bad at most of the ones I take on. :-) As a bonus, I’m a single mom with two little ones and we just got pre-approved to buy our first home as a trio. We are all very excited!! Fingers crossed computer that you pick us!! ;-)

    I’M TALENTED! I’m really good at building Transformers. I don’t even have to look at the directions. My husband thinks it’s annoying (after watching him try to build one, I understand why ;), but my kiddo thinks I’m a superhero.

    I’m Talented!

    I have a pretty good eye for design and space, and people tell me I’m in the wrong field, which I happen to agree with!

    “I’M TALENTED” and I am excellent at remembering random facts (that you’ll probably never even need to know).

    I’m Talented! I play the trombone, have played for about 15 years. People are always shocked when a girl plays the trombone…but it makes it that much sweeter when you beat out all the guys :-)

    I’m talented…Watching crime shows, I can tell (based on my law of recognizable secondary characters) who committed the crime. (Simple rule–if I recognize them from another show, especially as a major character, they did it or help do it…always.)

    I can read my kids’ favorite books with my eyes closed. haha. Atleast that’s what they believe for a few more years.

    I’M TALENTED; I have the ability to devour books from reading very fast; always have been this way.

    PLUS – I am entering a new creative phase, and my day job keeps getting in the way! lol..

    My special talent is finding bargains! And sometimes free things. My favorite chair was a free side of the road find! I also do all the cutting in when I paint without taping first. I really dislike taping so I’ve gotten really good at cutting in freehand!

    I’M TALENTED… I’d say one of my talents is Sherlock Holmes-Esq. I am usually more observant about totally random things that others around me and pick up on details about someone or a place that most people don’t notice. (Unfortunately this only comes in handy like 7% of the time, otherwise it’s useless unless you’re solving a crime, which I am not). =)

    ok, so that’s an exaggeration. but since becoming a mommy of 2 little boys, i seem to have developed a 6th sense for being able to tell when my boys are causing trouble. ;)

    I’M TALENTED!

    I can wiggle my right ear only. Not my left. I’ve tried all my life to figure out that darn left ear, but no dice.

    I’M TALENTED!

    Well, maybe not so much. But I do have an uncanny ability to make myself feel guilty when I fail to be the supermom that I expect to be!

    I’m Talented! …And I really believe so. I have an eye for style and design and I can renovate a home all by MYSELF… For the most part (an electrician, plumber and vinyl siding contractor were enlisted). :)

    I’M TALENTED! I can fall asleep anywhere and in any position. Standing, sitting, in a subway, in a plane. That counts as a talent, right?

    I’M TALENTED! I have a memory for numbers, almost any number, I can remember. Account numbers, telephone numbers, prices, zip codes, addresses. It’s a talent and a curse at times :-)
