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.

    …at gluten-free baking. It took many years of practice, but my masterpiece is a fresh baked pan of homemade GF cinnamon buns! I’m getting hungry just thinking about them!

    I can wiggle my ears (my dad thought me) and i have a crazy attention for details and sometimes for unnecessary stuff.

    I can fill the dishwasher, talk on the phone, hold a baby on my hip, and fry ground beef at the same time :)

    I’m talented…NOT! I love home-remodeling, but I need serious assistance when tackling a project!

    I’m talented. I can fold an origami crane with my eyes closed (thanks to folding over 5000 for my wedding).

    I’M TALENTED with the unnecessary skill of remembering completely trivial details about people. (Ability to recite the university of each of the 16 students I worked with six summers ago? Check.)

    “I’m talented”. Kind of weird, but I have talented tootsies. I can peel a banana, write, and even put on makeup with my toes!

    I’m not sure if it would be considered a talent, but I like to think that I am a fairly decent softball player.

    I’m talented. Actually, I do sing and play the guitar. Sing rather well, play the guitar rather badly.

    I’M TALENTED!

    I can take my toddler and 70 lb dog for a walk in a neighborhood filled with outdoor & ferral cats…and make it home alive! Even smiling! =)

    In all seriousness, I’m also pretty darn good at crocheting.

    I have gotten a reputation around my office for being able to help my friends word very measured and calm emails regarding issues where they are not so calm.

    I’m Talented…. I can bounce out of bed in the mornings and continue to be the annoying happy person in the office for the rest of the day! I can also put my legs behind my head….

    I’M TALENTED!

    I am a sewist and an athlete, and today I am feeling especially talented after taking my 2-year-old out for our first road bike ride of the season! The trailer behind my bike somehow became quite a bit heavier over the last few months, but we made it up a few hills and even stopped to feed some ponies along the way!
