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 special talent is cracking my neck (which includes all the sounds effects!).

    Thanks for the contest YHL.

    I’m talented!

    I play guitar, and so when my church needed a bass player for the praise band I learned in a week. The guitar means I have the skills to play ukulele, too.

    I’M TALENTED!

    If you asked my boyfriend, parents, past teachers, etc., they’d say my most known talent is procrastinating. Not a positive one, but I am not denying it! They’d be right!

    As for a positive talent, I’m really good with scissors, cutting intricate details and such.

    I’m talented! I have double jointed wrists which make my elbows freakishly stick out sometimes.

    I’M TALENTED! Ummm…let’s see…I have four kids and they are all still alive, better than my houseplant record. I even fed three out of four this morning. ( one was slow poking…so I had to hand her an apple we already had in the car on the way to school).

    I’M TALENTED! I know the lyrics to just about every 90’s rap song. I can barely remember my husband’s birthday, but I remember every word of “Juicy” by Notorious B.I.G. I got up with the band and rapped “Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It” at my wedding.

    I’M TALENTED…in all ways! I don’t think I have one special talent honestly. I’m always up for trying new things though :)

    I’M TALENTED

    Double jointed knees. I can get into lotus position without my hands. Doesn’t help me be able to touch my toes when I’m stretching though…

    I can have six conversations at once (one with each of our six kids) without getting confused.
