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.
- PRIZE: $250 gift card to World Market courtesy of HouseTalent (or an equivalent store if the winner is international)

Joanna says
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.

I’M TALENTED!
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!
Amber M. says
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. :-)
