***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.
- PRIZE: $250 gift card to World Market courtesy of HouseTalent (or an equivalent store if the winner is international)

- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: This giveaway ships anywhere in the world!
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, May 15th or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)

I’M TALENTED!
Every time I’m talk to my girls, I can answer or quote a song. My oldest gets a little irritated. “MOM! You always have a song when you answer!”. That’s her response. I can’t help it, there’s too many songs and I must put them to use!

I’m Talented!
My *special* talent is being able to predict TV shows and movies. A few minutes in and I can say, “Oh, that’s her sister’s brother from another mother” and that is exactly what happens. My husband and I have been together 15 years and he still says, “No, that’s not what is going to happen…”. The greatest artists are so under-appreciated (ha.ha.ha.).
