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….

    because I have a unique gift of always knowing exactly what time it is without looking at clock. In fact, I can even tell the time in photographs!

    I’m counting this as a talent, though my husband considers it a curse. I am exceptionally good at managing 1000 tiny details/organizing huge projects. Our wedding = no sweat for me, though he said the intense focus and single minded fixation on finishing everything was kind of terrifying.

    I can clean and organize anything- quickly. I also paint and pretend I am good at it. :)

    I can delve into my brain and come up with a lot of pop culture references relating to TV and Movies.

    I can wiggle my eyes back and forth really quickly… it sort of looks like I’m possessed and really freaks people out.
    It’s awesome.

    I’M TALENTED! I am an organizational wizard. I can whip a closet into shape in no time. Pantry? No problem! Need a home office built into a tiny alcove? I’m all over it! It’s a sickness, really.

    My friends always say that I have a sixth sense when it comes to sniffing out the best deals when I’m out shopping. It’s such a thrill when I spot a brand new in-season marc jacobs purse for a fraction of the price of the department stores!

    I’M TALENTED!! I love to paint, and much like Sherry, I am the “trimmer” in our house when it comes to changing wall colors. I also really enjoy taking photos!!

    I’M TALENTED! It doesn’t wow the crowds, but my photographic memory impresses my husband when I can tell him where his keys, phone, wallet, etc are every day.

    I’M TALENTED… I’m a public librarian. Which is like being Karnak the Magnificent, a professor of every discipline, and the mama of every kid in the neighborhood, all rolled into one.

    I’M TALENTED! My talent, according to my husband, is my ability to pickup anything on the floor with my toes. I can go up to 20-30 lbs. sometimes just in an effort not to bend over all the way to the ground. :)

    “I’M TALENTED.”
    I have green thumb I got from my grandma and I’ve transformed our builder-boring landscape (rock!) into a special, one-of-a-kind yard.

    “I’M TALENTED” I can tell good jokes! My favorite one is…What did the ocean say to the shore? Nothing…it just waved! Love it!

    I’M TALENTED…
    It’s not really a talent, more of a freaky ability I’ve inherited from my mum: I can almost always guess what a surprise gift will be. I’m talented at ruining Christmas, Birthday, Valentines Day and other holidays because I’ve guessed what Hubby is giving me.

    My mum famously guessed one birthday present my dad bought her, thinking that she’d never in a million years be able to guess such an outlandish gift. He gave her a Porsche. But not before saying “I bet you can’t guess what I’m giving you for your birthday!”. Not a bet he was going to win. She guessed first go!
