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.

House Talent Giveaway

  • PRIZE: $250 gift card to World Market courtesy of HouseTalent (or an equivalent store if the winner is international)
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “I’M TALENTED” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … what’s your special talent? Do you sing or play a musical instrument? Do you have a photographic memory that wows all of your friends? Or can you wiggle your ears?
  • 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)
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winners. Good luck…
  • ***COMMENT ISSUES? If you’re trying to enter but keep getting a “duplicate comment” warning, click here to see how to solve it!

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of HouseTalent.

    I’M TALENTED! I have a really good memory for bizarre things. Like exact scenes from books that I read over a decade ago or walking people through video games that I haven’t played in years.

    Is it okay if our talent is creepy? Cause I’m an identical twin and even though I live on the other side of the country from my sister, I totally get a sense when she’s having an off day.

    I’M TALENTED because I have a photographic memory which does (as your example says) wow all of my friends! I have also recently found out a lot of things that I am not talented at since I just purchased my first home…and one of those things happened to be removing tack strips for old carpet (so I feel your pain)! Now that my new hard woods are in, I could use this World Market gift card to get some area rugs. Thanks for hosting another great giveaway!

    I have weird elbows so my arms bend backwards way past where they should and can spin around forward. Not sure if that’s considered double jointed or not but it’s fun to gross people out with it.

    I’m an excellent project-dragger-alonger, much to my husband’s dismay. I like to start a few projects and have them all going at once so it takes a lot longer to finish something… ;)
