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!

    My special talent would probably have to be cake decorating! My great grandparents owned a bakery, and my mom has just always been a natural at cake decorating. I guess I get it from my mama and her side of the family. ;)

    I have the uncanny ability to always find the most expensive item. Every. Single. Time
    When shopping, i will be attracted to the one thing i can’t afford.
    I incarnate murphy’s law.
    That’s a useless talent, but i have it.

    I tried my hand at making decorated sugar cookies last summer, and have since turned it into a pretty successful business- both locally & on Etsy!

    “I’M TALENTED” I’m not sure if I would call it a talent, but I can pretty much pick up anything with my toes. . . when I was younger I could even write with my toes.

    I’M TALENTED! I’m a super-Googler! I can find anything through a search engine. My family calls all the time and asks me to find stuff. (It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it! LOL.)

    I suppose I’m more of a jack of all trades, but I can sing, and project that. When I visit my parents church, people rows in front come back to talk to me later since they can hear me over the speakers of the team playing.

    I’m talented! 9 years of voice lessons have left me with a pretty decent ability to sing an Italian aria, however I sound woefully out of place trying out Gaga at karaoke.

    I’m talented! I’ve managed to turn a retro 1960’s harvest yellow kitchen in our townhouse into a great workable kitchen with vintage charm (trust me this wasn’t an easy task).

    I’M TALENTED. I can sing, write, and do a million things at the same time. Well, at least several things. I like to multitask.

    I’m talented! I can stay calm in an emergency and call 9-1-1 like a boss (…why is this the only thing I can think of for a “talent”?!)

    I’m talented – I love to decorate for parties and help with friends and family wedding decorations – many say I’m talented in that way so guess that’s my claim to fame. Thanks for the giveaway
