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! No actual talent actually, unless you count touch my nose with my tongue. That’s more gross than talent!

    My special talent is a recipe for brownies with cookie dough frosting – requested for every single event :)

    I’M TALENTED

    I’m pretty good at sewing and knitting. I don’t know if I’d go as far as saying talented, but my stuff generally matches the picture of whatever I’m trying to make.

    My talent is figuring out how to do anything in the most efficient way possible. It may possibly because I’m rather lazy and don’t want to spend any more time on anything than absolutely necessary.

    One of my best talents is that I have a distinct memory for color. I can buy a pillow in one store and six months later match it exactly to something else by memory. This talent has limited usefulness, unfortunately. Too bad I can’t remember what I ate for breakfast or who sings 99% of the songs on the radio!

    I’m talented! I can recite the best sale price on groceries and at which grocery store on demand. That seems like a nerdy talent now that I’ve put it out there…

    I’M TALENTED!

    I’m a pretty good writer-used to want to be an author when I grew up. Now I get my fill by blogging about my family, but would still love to write for a small publication some day!

    I’m talented! I’m pretty good at most things that involve fine motor skills (gross motor skills not so much)

    I can play the clarinet – and I’ve taught myself how to knit, embroider, and do some free-hand sewing.

    I can memorize things easily and still remember random facts from elementary school my husband never remembers learning.

    I’m Talented! I have an alter-ego-induced-by-wine who calls herself ‘Mizz D’ and will start to bust out freestyle raps as soon as she feels the buzz. Waspiest rapstar evah. Forevah. Forevah evah. Werd.
