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!

    That felt like shouting. Anyway: like you and Sherry, I can come up with some really fun DIY projects to make our house truly our ‘home.’ My friends are always asking me for advice/crafty help. =)

    I’M TALENTED! I have an uncanny ability to recognize celebrities by voice when I hear them narrate a commercial or TV program. Not a lucrative talent but a talent nonetheless!

    I know more random trivia about animals than I’d care to admit… Childhood passion meets ironclad memory!

    Except the joke is that I’m really not talented at all. I pretty much have no particular skills (jack of all trades, master of none!).

    I’ve been playing the violin for more then 10 years now (but ask me to perform in front of a group of friends or family and I will deny even knowing what a violin is.)

    I’m talented.
    I’m very good at remembering faces…which can lead to awkward moments when I remember people, and they have no idea who I am :)

    I’m talented! I can…uh…fit my entire fist in my mouth.
    A.) This is only displayed after one too many tequila shots.
    B.) This does not translate into a career path. Or, at least, not one that I would want.

    I cannot seem to forget numbers … They just stick with me – way beyond their usefulness.

    My talent is definitely good vision. I can see where something needs improved or the direction it needs to take to become something special.

    “I’M TALENTED” I can remember lots of random facts from the TV show Saved By The Bell and I remember everything from high school (even what I wore on the first day of class each year). Amazing Talents, I know :)

    I can sit and watch Netflix for hours!

    I was just talking to an office mate today about how I had absolutely NO talent. But that’s one, right? Right??

    I”M TALENTED!!! It doesn’t really feel like a talent, but I do get asked to help people organize their homes. It’s fun for me at least!

    My talent is that I spend 8 hours a day teaching high school freshmen, and I haven’t driven myself off a cliff yet.
