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 very good sense of direction and have never been lost. Not sure that’s a talent, but it sure does come in handy.

    I can wiggle my ears and multi-task better than anyone I know. Of course, I know most moms can do that too. ;)

    Well, I don’t have any stupid human tricks (besides my Luke Bryan impression)…but I would like to say that my most valuable talent is my creativity/drawing/script.

    I’m talented! Hm, I’m a pretty good cook, or maybe just willing to try anything, which happens to work out sometimes!

    It’s crazy how well I can remember phone numbers. Like, friends’ parents’ home phone from 10 years ago? Check!

    I can write with my feet (sometimes not totally legibly). Yes, it’s odd but it’s my favorite talent.

    I’m talented… at remembering what I wore to pretty much any significant (or non-significant) event. I can remember what I was wearing to events in pre-school!

      Wow – yours and mine are similar… I can remember birthdays and phone numbers, and what people were wearing at given events too! Weird, huh?!

    I have a decent voice – and one that will hopefully sound better than decent when I sing at my brother’s wedding next month :)

    I’m talented!! I’ve somehow convinced my kids that baking with me is a fantastic activity, so we bake up breakfast muffins and such all the time!

    I’m Talented! I can forget anything. seriously, I don’t remember much about movies I’ve seen except whether or not I liked them. I don’t remember the plot or characters, almost ever.

    I’m talented!

    I remember everyone’s birthday – even obscure people I’ve only met a few times, all the way back to people I knew in grade school. I’m not sure why, but I think it has something to do with my photographic memory. As a kid, none of my friends would play the game memory with me because I always kicked their butts!

    I’M TALENTED! I can sew really well….it is a guarded secret, when people find out they want me to do mending for them…big differnce mending vs sewing!

    I’m Talented!

    I love to sing in a brassy, Broadway-style alto. I’m pretty good at it, but how often do you get the chance to sing Broadway-style? :-)

    This is the MOST FUN COMMENT SECTION you’ve ever had! Thanks, guys!

    I’M TALENTED!

    I have a good eye for beauty. It has helped me professionally and friends are always asking for my opinion. (That sounds so snotty and I hate myself for writing it, but you asked ;) )

    xo,

    I’m Talented! I bought and fixed up two foreclosed houses and got them both rented out before I was 25 (with some excellent help from my fiancee of course!)

    I’M TALENTED…my husband thinks I am a mind reader these days! I think I just know him too well, hence me “reading his mind” this morning to know that he is itching to paint our foyer and hallways!

    I’M TALENTED! I’m very good at remembering films actors have been in (it drives my husband crazy when we watch films together because he can never remember where he’s seen them before!)
