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 don’t think I have any special talents. I’m a graphic designer though, so all my friends think that I can perform magic with Photoshop. I don’t really consider that a talent though… its my job!

    I’m talented! I’m not going to win The Voice or American Idol, but I can hold my own when it comes to shower singing.

    I have a freakish ability to remember birthdays – I recently revisited a family I used to nanny for but hadn’t seen in several years and I still recited all of their birthdays!

    I have the special talent of remembering where people are from. I may not remember their names (and sometimes even their faces), but I remember conversations very well.

    I’m talented…
    I can remember days/events by what people were wearing. I can tell you what you were wearing the day we met, the last time we had lunch, etc.

    I’m the deal finder. The saavy gal who knows where to score the best prices on just about anything. I’m frugal but still can maintain the current styles just by knowing where to look. Garage sales are my best friend.

    I’M TALENTED! All modesty aside, I’m a great cook. I’m the one people in school (including my instructors!) would go to when things didn’t taste quite right and needed more seasoning of some kind, or when they got messed up and needed to be fixed. I am fabulous at taking leftovers or bits and pieces of things and making something delicious of it. I’m often heard saying, “I don’t know what it is, but it’s going to be delicious.” And those are my boyfriend’s favorite meals! So I must be doing something right :D.

    Don’t ask me to bake though. I did successfully make cookies once, and I’ve perfected my muffin recipe to a passable level, but anything remotely more complicated and I’m doooooomed. lol

    Right now my talent is determined on a daily basis by my three month old. Today? It’s wiping up spit up from hardwood floors!

    I have the weird ability to make almost anything out of construction paper. and yes I am a teacher! Seriously though, I’m a terrible artist, but ask me to make an elephant craft out of construction paper, and I’m all over it. Makes for fun craft time with my kids!
