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 carry a tune and play piano and oboe- a little rustily I might add. And I’m a super fast reader.

    I’M TALENTED! I’m have an amazing ability to spend a World Market giftcard :) And, you know, I do art stuff too… but at this point it’s more of a job and less of a talent, lol.

    I’m a trained opera singer, but moonlight as a worship leader. ;-) Mozart, contemporary Christian music … I like it all!

    I am writing a comment so I can hopefully win this great give away! Ha! I’m also a fantastic diplomat and can juggle people with issues pretty well (I think).

    I can bake some pretty delicious desserts. I don’t do super fancy stuff. Just good, simple goodies. :o)

    My special talent is having the drive and motivation to learn any and every new skill I possibly can. I am constantly trying to “learn new tricks” lol

    I’M TALENTED.

    I can read very fast. The summer after graduating high school I read a book a day. They all weren’t 800 page award winners, but I still think it was an accomplishment.

    My talent is to do nothing at all and love it. Believe or not people have trouble just chilling, with all the technology to keep up with people forgot how nice it is to relax. So yeap, I count it as a pretty awesome talent :)

    I’m talented!

    I type extremely quickly (my record clocks in at 160 wpm) and can read very quickly as well. I actually looked into being a stenographer on the side, but turns out you have to go to stenographer school and learn how to type on a keyboard with a ridiculous layout and only like 10 characters on it… Alas. My skills will never be put to proper use.

    I’m talented – I can grow just about anything, and I know most of their Latin names. Sadly, I can not always remember what I did the day before – but I know what’s blooming in the yard!

    I’M TALENTED. My special talent is remembering people’s birthdays. I don’t know why, but I can remember someone’s birthday years later if they tell it to me.

    “I’m Talented!!” I know the lyrics to most rap songs from 1985-2005. Love to pull them out for Karaoke Night!
