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 have a degree in fine arts, so I guess I am pretty good at drawing, painting, and all that jazz.

    I just potty-trained my two-year-old daughter in two days. I think that’s a pretty awesome talent!

    I’m talented at copying pictures by hand. Has majorly helped me with a bit of High-Low decorating projects. My favorite was making a low version of a $20 butterfly pillow for $5!

    I’M TALENTED! When I hit up a kids’ midway (Coney Island or Vegas-style, doesn’t matter) I suddenly develop Rainman-like skills. Someone always has to accompany me to help count all the tickets!

    My extra-special talent is that I can touch my nose with my tongue, without cheating and pushing it with my finger! It’s really impressive… not.

    I’M TALENTED – and I never would have guessed it growing up, but I’m a talented coder (or, I guess Code Diva ;) ) and I absolutely love doing it, which makes it all the more fun.

    I can play 3 different groups of instruments (piano, sax, and guitar) and have even taught myself how to do it!

    I’m talented! I can touch my tongue to my nose. Really though, I’ve been a musician for the past twelve years (although not professionally).

    I’M TALENTED…I’m an excellent baker! Or at least I think so. But maybe that’s because I love chocolate so much. :)

    I’m a speed reader (guess that’s a talent). Also, I seem to be the family dog whisperer or maybe that should be wild animal whisperer – I rescued a wild parakeet and lost ferret last year.

    I’M TALENTED! I am pretty good at sewing. I just make up my own patterns, alter my own clothes and make other things like curtains and pillows.
