***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.
- PRIZE: $250 gift card to World Market courtesy of HouseTalent (or an equivalent store if the winner is international)
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “I’M TALENTED” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: … what’s your special talent? Do you sing or play a musical instrument? Do you have a photographic memory that wows all of your friends? Or can you wiggle your ears?
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: This giveaway ships anywhere in the world!
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, May 15th or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winners. Good luck…

I can…well, I can…Cheeze-Louise, this is a toughie…
I can twirl my tongue (i.e. stick it out and then flip it all the way over one way and then the other). Apparently, not everyone can do this. I’m sure it’s a talent that could save all of humanity, should a world-wide crisis arise. ;-)

I’M TALENTED! I’ve been singing since the 2nd grade… and even met my musically-inclined hubby in a college a cappella choir! Sadly, I can also tell you that I’m not at all talented when it comes to gardening/growing plants. I somehow manage to kill anything green. :-( Accidentally, of course!
Lindsey says
“I’M TALENTED”
I used to think that wiggling my ears was a special talent, until I found out that most of my friends could do it too. Now I’d say my special talent is accomplishing most any task with just one hand — a new skill I’ve picked since our daughter was born!
