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 read people’s emotions from the most minor facial expression, which really helps judge someone’s true opinion or feeling about something (maybe it isn’t “fine” that my child is playing near something in the house, etc.)

    “I’M TALENTED” I’m a jack of all trades but a master at none! I’m a good cook, do lots of diy, sew and do crafts, garden and thrift.

    I can turn seemingly harmless statements into “that’s what she said moments.” Creepy, and awesome at the same time.

    I recently discovered that I have a talent for caulking and I’m also the edger in the family when we paint rooms.

    I love to learn how to cook new things, especially with my husband by my side!

    I’m Talented!!!
    My talent is visual arts. I love to create, remodel, updo, redo, craft, and pretty much anything else you can think of related to art. I am trying to start a small online business where I will be selling all of these creations.
    Right now I am stuck in the middle of remodeling my bedroom and I have run out of money so having that gift card would really be a blessing.

    I have a talent for greeting the ground – one of the clumsiest people I know, with an appropriate collection of scars with pretty lame backstories. “Oh, this one? I fall on some gravel while walking to Calculus and had to get it scrubbed out and stitches in the ER.” Yeeeeah.

    I can spend a ridiculous amount of time looking at interior design materials and the YHL website of course!

    I can fold my ear into itself; think fortune cookie. Haha but besides that, I think I’m pretty good with a paint brush when it comes to cutting in.

    I’M TALENTED…
    …because I can kill any plant within a 50 yard radius of me without even trying! Bamboo, cactus…they’re no match for me!

    I’M TALENTED! My special talent is illustrating. I can draw just about anything as long as I can picture it in my mind first. I love making DIY books with my niece and nephew.

    I have the weird ability to write words backwards on paper so that you can read it when held up to a mirror. I do it just as fast as writing regular words. Think REDRUM from “The Shining.”

    I’m kind of a jack of all trades… but I’d say one of my best talents is my knack for floral arranging. My friends LOVE that I can do their wedding flowers for cheap-o :)

    I’m talented! I can start a home improvement project, no matter how big or small, after 9PM, work through the night, and STILL go into the office the next morning!

    Granted, I cheat a little with a heavy dose of caffeine the next morning.
