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 am a great ear and eyebrow wiggler. Together or one at a time… I can also pick things up from the floor and put them away with my feet – hence “Monkey Toes” nickname from my hubby… Oh, and I’m also pretty crafty, too… go figure. :)

    I can lick my elbow even though people think it’s physically impossible! Helps to have a long tounge and short arms. :)

    Unlike most people’s irrational fear of snakes, I care for them as my profession. Not very many people can say that! :)

    I’m talented! I’m a music teacher, so I can play multiple instruments…if dealing with middle school kids all day isn’t talent enough. :-)

    I’m talented! I am very organized and detail orientated. I can also tell if something hanging on a wall is off by even centimeters…strange I know.

    I’m talented! My improvising kitchen skills help me scrape a meal together with whatever is in the fridge/pantry–key when you frequently procrastinate and don’t make it grocery shopping. Yet again.

    I planted 100 plants in my front yard last year, and only 8 of them died during the winter. Woo Hoo!

    I can play “quarters” by rolling the quarter down my nose and bouncing it into the glass. It’s a great party trick! ;)

    I make tea parties fun again. Seriously – I am on a one-woman mission to make scones with clotted cream a regular household thing in the U.S.!

    My special talent is that I’m a very fast reader. I consume books at an alarming pace… like the 600+ page Harry Potter book that took me 3 and a bit hours to read.
