***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
My special talent is taking a drab room and making it over by using (or removing) things from the space. My friends often ask that I come over and rearrange their stuff instead of replacing.

I’M TALENTED!
I think probably my most special talent is dance. I danced for years when I was young, but I don’t necessarily look like I have the moves when people first meet me. It’s always fun surprising people on the dance floor. :)
And I can also wiggle my ears. ;)

“I’M TALENTED” I have lots of talents, but when I was quite little, I memorized word for word, my favorite book (from my mom reading it to me so often), and I would “read” the book to friends/family that visited and blow their socks off that I was reading already, ha!
