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 wiggle my ears, but I also have a very good memory and often remember details about people that they don’t even remember. They get creeped out sometimes… But I can’t help it!

    And yup, photographic memory here, comes in really handy when someone can’t remember where they put something. If I’ve seen it recently I can usually picture its surroundings too which is very helpful in locating it. Sadly it wasn’t much use in university when I was cramming for exams, I must have the non-academic version or something!

    I’m talented: I’m crazy good at remembering events and people. My freshman year of college, I recognized a girl I knew from elementary school – I hadn’t seen her since third grade!

    I’m talented!! I can pick out certain makes and models of cars all the time, and I’m not even really a car guy.

    I’m talented…turn on the radio, any station any time, and I can most likely sing whatever song is playing. I also am good at working fitting song lyrics into conversations pretty often!

    I love to sing, act, and play the piano and I’m lucky enough to be able to do all three as part of my job.

    I’M TALENTED

    I have this ability to train my animals to do almost anything – rather quickly. I just trained one of my ponies to sit on a bean bag chair in a matter of 3 days (probably 30 minutes total). Somehow I can just visualize the fastest way to connect and teach them – and usually they master a trick in a matter of days (but I wouldn’t be talented without them being so smart!)

    I can talk on the phone to my far flung kids-Japan and NYC-
    and not scream out in desperation.”Please call me more
    than once a week”

    I remember faces even if I’ve only met them very briefly years ago! Likewise I remember actors and actresses’ faces and what shows they’re in, even for ones in very minor roles. Ok that’s not a talent, but I think not a lot of people can do that!

    I do actually have a great memory but one thing my husband always says is, “How do you fold sheets like this!?” I know its ridiculous but I can fold the fitted sheet to look like a flat sheet and when he makes the bed he can never guess which one is which. Sad but true.. this housewife can fold sheets well.

    I come in handy in restaurants. I can calculate 15% of pretty much any number in a freakishly short time!

    I’m Talented…i’m really good at figuring out which actors do voice overs in commercials in the first couple of seconds of hearing it.

    I’M TALENTED!!!

    My special talent is making something out of nothing. Seriously, the more impossible the parameters of the project are, the more impressive I am. I once costumed a cast of 40 kids ranging in age from 5 to 15 for a full-length, musical version of sleeping beauty for $50, WITH costume changes.

    I LOVE World Market. This would be too great…

    I’m talented! I like to guess songs on the radio by flipping through stations and listening to just one note before flipping right away. I also like to guess name and artist of a ton of classic rock songs.
