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!!

    My talent is that I can recall a ridiculous amount of random details and quotes from old television shows- especially Friends and Seinfeld- I don’t think there are any of those that I haven’t seen :)

    “I’M TALENTED”

    I used to take dancing lessons, but I wouldn’t call myself talented. I do, however, have a knack for seeing both sides of an argument. That’s a talent right?

    I can get my husband to hang up his towel after only asking him four or five times!

    I am able to remember names and details about people. Which can be somewhat creepy for them, so sometimes I keep it under wraps.

    I’m talented~

    Some people can make bird calls, I make cricket noises.

    It’s very handy with awkward silences.

    I’M TALENTED! I can put together quite the scrapbook! (Although keeping up with them is another story…still need to start daughter #2’s and she’s already 15 months haha!)

    My co-workers call me the “kid whisperer” (which is so nice of them). I can entertain a group of toddlers or preschoolers, especially with story time!

    I’M TALENTED. My friends call me Radar because I seem to know what they are going to ask of me before they ask and I can usually finish their sentences when it’s off the wall stuff.

    I’m talented! I can mirror write. In other words, I can write with both my left and right hand in opposite directions at the same time.

    I have two young kids, but I still keep my house clean enough that it’s safe for someone to pop in for a visit anytime. I think that’s a talent?

    To distract my son I make up silly songs while changing his diaper, usually they include the word “poop”!

    I’M TALENTED

    I learn song lyrics after just one listening and can remember the lyrics to most songs even long after I have last heard it.

    I’M TALENTED! I recently taught myself how to make French macarons. I’m not talented enough to keep myself from eating too many of them, though…

    I’M TALENTED! One of my talents that drives my kids nuts is that I can tune everything out when I am focused on a task. So if I’m working on something & they try to talk to me, it drives them nuts because I don’t hear a word until I finish typing my sentence (or whatever it is I’m doing at the time).

    I’m Talented!!!

    I am so good at naming actors and movies they have been in. Usually just takes me two or three seconds and I’m like, Oh, that’s such and such from this show. My husband is always shocked and impressed. :)

    I’M TALENTED!

    Well, maybe not really. I have lots of hobbies but I don’t know if I would consider myself good enough to be called talented. I’m a good mom, a passionate cook, an avid gardener, a wannabe athlete, an amateur diy expert and reeeeeaaaallly good at googling stuff to learn how to do stuff. Yup, that’s a talent in my book.

    I can remember the smallest details about something that happened a long time ago, such as clothing, food, who said what.

    I’M TALENTED at internet sourcing. I know there are others who share my talent, but its a skill I rely on heavily and really wish I could monetize….

    I’m talented! I can remember exact details of conversations years later. Sometimes, when my husband and I disagree about something that was said, I’ll have to think on it a few days, but then I’ll go back to him and say, “Remember, we were driving in your car, and you said this, and I said this, and then you said. . .” And it is so much detail that he remembers too and he has to admit I was right. He hates it!

    I’m talented! I can imitate almost anyone, and I can remember almost anything, much to the dismay of my friends and husband :)

    I’m Talented!
    My boyfriend tells me that in the year we have known each other, I have never said a bad word about anyone, hence, making me super talented at being a really nice person (or very talented at keeping the mean and grumpy part of me hidden!)
    Loving the new house project – I want one!!!
