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 can write in cursive in mirror image/backwards. I have no recollection of how I discovered this skill sometime in high school, but it’s a good party trick!

    I’M TALENTED….

    I can hang out 130 ft below the ocean, for half an hour. Okay, so it takes scuba equipment and enriched air, too. But I can do it!

    Even if I can’t do a completely homemade present, I try to personalize everything to give it that extra something special.

    besides painting, I can usually whip up a pretty yummy meal in minutes, even when it feels like we have no food in the house ;)

    I’m talented!

    This is related to your most recent post – when my parents’ pulled up their carpets and put down hardwood I was really good at getting those annoying staples out! I pried them up with a flathead screw driver. And… I kind of enjoyed it.

    I’m talented!! I can remember the faces of pretty much everyone I’ve ever met. Sounds useful but it generally creeps people out when you ask them if they where in your kindergarten class 25 years ago!

    I’M TALENTED! I can fall asleep within 5 minutes of going 5 degrees past vertical even after an extra large, extra caffeinated coffee, at 9 pm at night. I think it’s because I have two small children!

    I’M TALENTED!! My special talent is that I can make myself wake up at 4:15 to go running. Oddly though, I can’t make myself wake up early to do anything else…
