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’ve been told I’m an ace of all, jack of none. I can pretty much work through anything, but love being creative and seeing a different angle on mundane objects. Thanks!

      I can also wiggle my ears, touch my tongue to my nose, do the splits, make realistic monkey, horse, dolphin and mountain lion sounds. :)

    I’m talented! I play the piano and handbells and I swing dance. And I bake excellent chocolate chip cookies (well, that’s all due to my grandma’s awesome recipe). Oh, and yes I can wiggle my ears :-)

    I’M TALENTED! My claim to fame in our family of talented individuals is as the one who can touch her nose with her tongue. I can also roll, curl, and fold my tongue flat. Yup, American’s Got Talent here I come.

    I’m talented!!!

    I have a great memory for numbers! Oddly enough, I have a horrible memory when it comes to other things like names, directions, places…etc. Such a shame it doesn’t extend to everything. :)

    I’m talented. I am talented at remaining calm in stressful situations. Is that a talent or a gift?

    Well, for starters, I can pick up stuff with my toes. Ever drop a pencil or pen? It comes in kind of handy. But if that’s a little funky, I also have pretty good handwriting according to my co-workers and friends.

    I’m talented at… writing. I love writing in whatever form possible – journaling for my own pleasure, blogging to share with friends, or for work – whenever I’m writing I’m happy!

    My friend just told me I need to find a career that uses my photographic memory (especially face recognition)…

    I’m talented! Hmm…I can hold my hands behing my back and then bring them over my head to in front of me without my hands letting go of each other (if that makes sense–basically my shoulders are double jointed).

    I can wiggle my ears and I have an unusually good memory for useless numbers (addresses, phone numbers, etc.)

    My talent is my ability to cook almost anything well. And to feed my husband and keep him happy :-)

    My knowledge of pop culture is pretty exceptional. I don’t know if that is a talent or just a result of watching too much television. :-D

    I’M TALENTED..

    Or maybe just unique? My elbows are double jointed! Actually I’m down to one good elbow after a DIY incident, slipping on freshly discovered hardwood. Worth the broken arm though!

    My special talent is that I am very good with spacial tasks, like I can pack a suitcase or a car like a champ…super helpful when traveling or moving, less helpful in a talent show.
