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 memorize names really quickly. Every school year I know all of my students names by the end of the first week (or no homework)–and I teach high school so that’s almost 150 names.

    My special talent finding a bazillion projects to do, buying the supplies to complete them and NEVER doing them. Ta da!

    I’m Talented! I can sing the words to almost any song on the radio – I think because I listen to a lot of oldies, and I’m only 23, I have a decent amount of song variety lol. My husband plays the game where he changes radio stations quick and I sing along (I can’t however name who sings it).

    My special talent these days is the ability to irritate my teenage daughter just by waking up. :-) Hopefully I learn a new talent soon.

    I am a wealth of useless trivia, making me really good at things like trivial pursuit, and jeopardy!

    According to one of my professors, I was a ‘Master Cotton Spinner’. Considering she was one talented woman, I held that compliment in high esteem. I have a pretty good green thumb, too :)

    I’m good at silly crafty things. A skill which will hopefully be more useful when my kids get a little older.

    I can laugh just like Scooby Doo. I keep waiting for when this will actually come in handy, but in the mean time it keeps the masses entertained. :)

    I’m a pretty accomplished flute player and have dedicated years of my life to it. I can also crack just about every bone in my body, which grosses my husband out like crazy!

    I’m talented……….. I can wiggle my ears!!! I’m a mom who adores her kids, but not so talented in the kitchen, trying with lessons every month. I’m a fashion designer but find my attention keeps being diverted to once much loved but discarded things, and creating something beautiful from them.
