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 guess I don’t know what my “special” talent is. I like to think I’m a good cook and gardener. I can also wiggle my ears!

    I’M TALENTED. I have a good memory, which I’m thankful for. But it’s mostly useless information that my brain holds on to. Go figure!

    “I’M TALENTED”

    I have convinced my son (age one) that oatmeal is the most delicious food on earth, and my daughter (age three) loves vegetables (even the ones I secretly hate).

    I’M TALENTED! My secret talent is that I can list all 45 of the prepositions in alphabetical order in 7 seconds. In 7th grade english, we were forced to memorize them and it has always stuck with me. I have since honed my skills, lowering my record time… useless I know, but it makes my husband laugh.

    My special talent is taking great pictures. Whenever my friends or family needed help taking pictures, they will first come to me.

    I’m talented!!!! Why? Because I am full time working mom and still manage our budget, keep up with the laundry, keep the house clean and remember to feed the kids (most of the time). Pure talent I tell ya.

    I’m talented. I teach piano lessons to a deaf child (legally deaf, still has some hearing). It’s challenging and awesome and I love it!

    I’M TALENTED! I’m really good at memorizing numbers, without much effort. It should come as no surprise that I’m now an accountant.

    I’M TALENTED! I can remember what I was wearing at big moments in my life. Plus I can remember random phone numbers and peoples kids’ names. Totally useless talents…most of the time.
