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.
- PRIZE: $250 gift card to World Market courtesy of HouseTalent (or an equivalent store if the winner is international)

At baking. Ask me for anything and I can create it in cake form! Comes in handy for birthdays :)

I’M TALENTED!
Ok I know this seems like a strange talent, but I am really good at remembering voices. Like I can hear about 5 seconds of a commercial and know the voice of the celebrity endorser. Same with cartoons (i.e. Simpsons / Family Guy). Once I hear a guest star speak a sentence or two I can tell who the guest voice is. Nothing super but I’m so good at it that it creeps the boyfriend out! haha

I’m more of a jack of all trades, master of none kind of person. Using just music as an example, I’ve dabbled in piano, cello, competitive choir, and now ukulele. It seems that I could do well in whatever I try, but I lose motivation easily. I’m always moving on to the next new thing!
