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 terrible at math, but everytime I cut fabric for a sewing project (without correctly adding my measurements) I manage to still pull it off! Or maybe I have sewing elves like the nursery rhyme about the cobbler.

    I’M TALENTED! My husband says I have quite a talent to multi-task. I can never sit still. Even while watching TV I have to be doing something else at the same time.

    Is the ability to kill a plant while doing everything you’re supposed to, a talent? I have the worst black thumb out of anyone I know. If I touch it, it dies. So sad.

    I’m talented! I have this weird memory if it comes to numbers. Telephonenumbers and zip codes from every familymember, my own phonenumbers from long ago, carplates…..one way or the other they all stick in my brain.

    I’m Talented! My memory is crazy when it comes to dates and details. It drives my hubby crazy that I can remember what he gave me for my birthday 17 years ago (started dating at 15), while he can’t remember what I got him last year. :)
