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.

    hmmm … maybe my cat-training ability … seriously, my 2 cats know and respond to so many phrases — and not just the food-related ones ;)…

    I have a freaky weird memory when it comes to dates. Someone can mention some random event from years ago and I’ll remember the exact date.

    I can remember first names easily which apparently is really difficult for most people.

    I have practiced and practiced and finally perfected my Chewbacca impersonation. I know. There should be an award.

    This is super embarrassing (so of course I’m sharing it on the interwebs), but I can play “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” on the recorder WITH MY NOSE and hum it at the exact same time… I’m still working on harmonizing with myself. We’ll get there!

    “I’m Talented”… I can sing, but not many people know this because I am painfully shy. :)

    I’m Talented! Weird, but I can tie a cherry stem in a knot with my tongue. Everytime we go to Sonic and get cherry limeades, the kids are asking me to do it.

    “I’m TALENTED”

    I’m a little of everything- I sing, I write, I design, I organize, I have a sort of photographic memory – now that you mention it (mostly for numbers)… And oh yeah, I LOVE world market. Best of luck to everyone!

    I’M TALENTED. I’m actually able to read faster in English than in my mother tongue which is German. (And I’ve never lived in an English speaking country)

    I’M TALENTED because I can spend hours looking at DIY and home design websites and tune out everything else in life. :)

    “I’M TALENTED”

    I’m really attentive to details and what people say, so I’m always able to come up with a present, gift, or surprise for someone that is really meaningful to that person! I suppose this is my talent because I’ve been told over and over that I’m so good at it.. It’s definitely a great skill to have!

    I actually have a 100% accuracy of guessing the sex of friends’ babies. It’s probably more luck than talent but I’m gonna take credit for it.
