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.

House Talent Giveaway

  • PRIZE: $250 gift card to World Market courtesy of HouseTalent (or an equivalent store if the winner is international)
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “I’M TALENTED” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … what’s your special talent? Do you sing or play a musical instrument? Do you have a photographic memory that wows all of your friends? Or can you wiggle your ears?
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: This giveaway ships anywhere in the world!
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, May 15th or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winners. Good luck…
  • ***COMMENT ISSUES? If you’re trying to enter but keep getting a “duplicate comment” warning, click here to see how to solve it!

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of HouseTalent.

    I’m talented! I can remember the names (and tiny, insignificant details like what a person was wearing years ago) of pretty much anyone I meet, anywhere, anytime. It kind of creeps my husband out!

    I’m talented! I’m double-jointed, so I always enjoy showing off how I can bend my arms backwards, etc. Not very useful, but it’s amusing. :)

    I’M TALENTED! My talent is spread over lots of creative areas, which means I can do a lot, but I’m not super great at anything. I’ll take it though I’d rather be able to sing well and draw okay than not have the talent to really enjoy either.

    My talent is singing…I’ve always been pretty good at it and those close to me have told me I have a great voice. I’m just really shy and it usually takes a few drinks for me to really belt a tune!

    I’m talented!

    I have a few traditional talents (I can play the piano and I’m told I’m a fair writer), but I also have an ridiculous amount of space in my brain dedicated to “The Simpsons” trivia. I suppose that’s mostly because I watched the show obsessively for years, but it still counts. :-)

    I have a photographic memory and can remember how to get to and from most places I’ve been at least once…. I don’t use street names though so giving people directions can be interesting. ;)

    I’M TALENTED

    I somehow can learn all the words to a song in one or two listens (depending on how clear the words are in the song.) It doesn’t really come in handy (typically important information is not presented in song form) but it is kinda fun!
