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 played the harp until I graduated from high school. Now the harp is a decorative item in my living room.

    I’M TALENTED! I can wiggle my nose and lick my elbow. Not necessarily at the same time, though I’ve never tried… *tries* Never mind I can!

    I’m talented…because I can teach fourth graders! LOL

    My hidden talent (very quirky) is that I can count letters in a word or phrase very quickly. What makes it kind of weird is that I like to make the phrase or word have 5, 10, 15, or 20 letters or “characters” so I count the dots and spaces if needed…I know…I am a freak. It helps with spacing letters and phrases on bulletin boards though. Nice when your freakiness comes in handy. LOL

    I’M TALENTED!! I think one of my best talents is my hand-writing. I’m often told it looks like a computer font and I always get excited when people ask me to write things for them.

    I’M TALENTED!!

    I crochet, make jewelry and have a photography business while juggling two kids, a husband and a dog. I swear that any person who puts “stay at home” on their resume should be able to get almost any job! :)

    I’m Talented! I have a good memory. My husband will ask where he left something and I will almost always remember its exact location, even if we cleaned everything out and reorganize.

    I’M TALENTED! I’m good at most tactile crafts, knitting, sculpture, sewing, jewelry-making, etc. Can’t draw a straight line, but anything that’s 3D I can muster a good effort.

    I’m talented! My favorite kind of DIY project is reupholstering furniture. It’s great to make an old piece new.

    I actually CAN wiggle my ears, without moving the rest of my face. My dad can too, but not my mom.

    Currently, my top talent is being able to wrangle 2 1/2 yr old twins while over 9 months pregnant! Believe me, not so fun :)

    I’M TALENTED! I have mastered homemade ice-cream making, not in small part due to the amazing Jeni’s Ice Cream cookbook. :)

    I’m talented! My party trick is making a worm-like wiggly shape out of my tongue…you kinda have to see it to believe it.

    I’M TALENTED because I can talk like Donald Duck…and strangely enough, that skill has actually come in handy a time or two.

    I’M TALENTED!

    I trained my cat to play dead on command in an hour and how to fetch in two hours. She fetches my sock slippers for me almost every night! (You may have guessed I’m a dog person).
