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 can juggle a bunch of tasks at once and sometimes I get them all done. Sometimes I am not so talented and don’t get any of them done.

    I’m Talented!…

    In high school, some friends and I learned that we can snort dental floss through my nose and pull it out of my mouth. File that under things you shouldn’t share about yourself on the internet….or anywhere.

    I’M TALENTED! I can wiggle my ears and triple roll my tongue. It’s hard to describe, but I can also flick my bottom lip in and out at an incredible speed. It’s weird, but it makes for great entertainment at parties.

    I’m talented!!

    My coworkers call me a walking rolodex – for some reason I remember telephone numbers after only hearing them once or twice and can pull one from my memory 5 years after having heard it. The funny part is that I totally suck at math – apparently I am some sort of idiot savant. Or just plain idiot – depending on who you ask ;)

    I have the ability to kill any live plant I try to grow inside my house by just looking at it. They never see it coming.

    I’m Talented!

    I can sing, but I can’t dance :)
    I can also, freakishly, repair mechanicaly things. I have no training to be able to do so, but this year I’ve fixed a gas stove, a vaccuum, my husbands trim/tilt on his boat, and an air conditioner.

    I have a great memory for names….and what I wore on the first day to school for most of my years K-12. Weird, I know…but, all I could come up with!

    I’m talented!I can mirror write in print and in cursive! Not something I learned, just a weird talent! I’m afraid it will only be useful if any businesses need writing on their windows.

    I’M TALENTED!

    I think my greatest talent is that I never lose anything: wallets, phones, watches, children…. I know their whereabouts basically at all times. I even know where other people’s things are because my brain is like a catalog of stuff – can’t remember where you put your keys? Don’t worry, I saw them in the bathroom on the windowsill. And no, they don’t belong there ;)
