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 good at math. Like, really good.

    Also, I’m pretty adept at spending hours on the internet doing nothing.

    I’M TALENTED! I can bake you any delicious item you’d like! (There are some things I’m not inclined to bake or not quite as good at, but I’ll attempt anything!)

    I’M TALENTED! I have a very acute sense of smell. I can smell things a mile away, know when something in the fridge is starting to go bad, or even when something is done cooking based on its smell. It is both a blessing and a curse!

    I’m Talented! I have a weird ability to see things in nature that really do look like other things. Like, I have a huge photograph of an awesome redwood stump. It’s broken at the bottom, and looks exactly like a pig, snout and all. My husband thinks I’m crazy, but admits that he could see it too, once I pointed out the snout.

    It’s not really a special talent, but I do know how to play the cello, and to a lesser extent, the clarinet and piano.

    My special talent is my ability to get through a single book on each airplane ride I take. Wheels up to wheels down, my nose is always in a book!

    I’m able to remember lyrics and movie lines from songs and movies I’ve only heard/seen once.

    This is a hard one! I don’t really have any quirky talents, but I am a graphic designer, so I’ll go with that one and say I’m artistically talented! That works, right?

    I’ve got mad ear wiggling skills and my mind is a steel trap when it comes to pop culture triva (comes in handy when watching Jeopardy!).

    I can remember song lyrics to every. single. song. I have ever liked. If I could free up the space in by brain devoted to song lyrics, I feel like I could do a LOT of other stuff.
