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.

    You know what? People are always telling me that I have a talent for decorating, even though I have no formal training. That must be why I love your blog! Anyway, I also love, love, love World Market and could definitely put that gift card to good use! Thanks!

    I’m TALENTED. I come up with ideas for bespoke furniture ( often frugal ones that turn doors into seats, play houses,tables and the like) that my talented hubby actually LIKES and will help me make!!! Win win… He gets to play with power tools and I get cool furniture. Smile.

    I’M TALENTED. I have an intuitive knack for narrowing down people’s ailments/symptoms to a possible diagnosis… And being right a lot if the time!

    I’M TALENTED!

    I have a knack for remembering songs. For instance, I can sing the entire “Gummi Bears” Disney Channel show theme song even though I haven’t heard it in..oh, at least 20 years. Same goes for every song I ever learned for school plays, any song my siblings learned for school plays, Italian arias I learned in high school, and pop songs I heard on the radio and never intended to learn. Music sticks in my brain even if I’m not trying to put it there.

    I’m talented! I’m a speed reader who can read a whole book in a day (of course, only if I am uninterrupted).

    I’M TALENTED!! I can make a mean chewy on the inside, crisp on the outside, perfect consistency cookie… =I have a thing for sweets, so it doesn’t just stop at the cookie – have completely turned my “meh sweets” hubs into a cookie/chocolate/sugar fan:)

    I am incredibly resourceful. If there is a project I want to tackle but I don’t have the right tools/materials at that moment I will improvise like MacGiver!

    I’m talented… really! I can wiggle my little toes. Doesn’t sound like much, but it can really pull a crowd ;-)

    Okay, maybe I need to work on a new talent!

    I’m talented!

    I can wrangle a two year old out of sand box while feeding the baby, making dinner, organizing my husband, taking the dog out to poop, packing lunches, emptying the dishwasher and sorting laundry….after a full day at work.

    I have a knack for remembering people’s names and faces. This comes in handy because my husband is not good at this! I always jump in and say their name so he remembers.

    No special talents, just a lot of determination- I just flipped my first flip house in 3 months doing as much as possible myself. I’m just hoping it sells fast!!

    I’M TALENTED! I have pretty impressive spacial reasoning skills. I can get more packed into a car, suitcase, closet, etc. than anyone I know! This really comes in handy when traveling w/ kids! I set everything out that needs to be packed and put things in one piece at a time into very specific spots. My husband is ALWAYS amazed that I rarely have to rearrange things in order to get everything to fit.

    I’M TALENTED because I can remember the names of all 640 kids in my elementary school – I’m the counselor and love my job! Also, I really can wiggle my right ear!
