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 indeed wiggle my ears. But that is nothing compared to my 8-yr-old son who can snap his toes the way most people can snap their fingers!

    “I’M TALENTED”. I can talk my teenage boys out of a moody funk in about 10 minutes…most of the time.

    I’m talented! I can hear a song playing in a noisy place when no one else at the table can! So… Super-sonic hearing?

    I can take 5 years off my dogs appearance with a 2-day hair trimming frenzy! I tell him “it’s time to cut your meatballs” (which is the crusty fur around his eyes) and he lays down spread eagle and falls asleep as I trim his hair! He loves it!!

    I’M TALENTED! My special talent is, I am a painter and a singer/musician. I take my art a little more seriously, but my music is mostly just for fun!

    ‘I’m talented’

    I can play the guitar and sing, however, I can become pretty shy when it comes to performing! :)

    i’M TALENTED! Well, my son thinks my ” projects” around the house come from my artistic talent. That and crossing my eyes, of course.

    I’m talented!!! I have what I like to call “photogenic color memory”. Without seeing two objects in front of me, I can recall their color and remember if they are the same or will go together or clash. This is extremely helpful when shopping for clothes or decorating. Now if I could only learn how to make money with this gift. LOL!!!

    I can change any song to be about my dog! :) Such as changing One Direction’s “You Don’t Know You’re Beautiful” to “You Don’t Know You’re Rosie Po”

    I’m talented! I can look at almost any piece of clothing and figure out how it was constructed, what it’s made of, and how to recreate it! :)

    I’m talented! I can tell the first time I hear a song if it’s going to be a hit. Record companies should totally hire me.
