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 have a very good memory. Which is a good thing, because my husband has a terrible memory and I have to remember his stuff as well as mine!

    I can speed read quite well. Actually once I jump into reading a novel I usually have to read the whole thing right then and finish within a few hours. It never has struck me as odd until family and friends have mentioned it lol.

    I’M TALENTED! My talent would be dancing, to any song, any genre at any time. I grew up dancing since I was 4 (20 ahem + years ago) and it just stuck! :)

    I’M TALENTED! I have been playing piano since I was a toddler, but I consider my REAL talent to be predicting the winners of major movie awards – I almost always win my Oscar pool!

    I”M TALENTED! I can remember song lyrics like no other. Even if I haven’t heard the song in years I can still remember and sing the lyrics when I hear it again.

    I’M TALENTED…

    My friends tell me that I have the gift of song choice. I’m really good at picking the perfect song for pretty much any situation and I make a mean playlist.

    I train my dog to do amazing things. OK, maybe he’s the talented one but he doesn’t get online very often.
