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 am extremely spacial and can listen to someone describe an entire building and see it in my head. It also helps me find things in my house because I can imagine where I last saw them.

    I’M TALENTED!

    I played the piano during school years, competing at state level. I let it drop when I went off to college. Fast-forward “a few” years, my grandma gives me her piano, and then I enroll my daughters in lessons. Now I’m inspired to play again and I love it. Not sure the neighbors do, though… I’m pretty rusty.

    I’m also pretty good at eating chocolate.

    I’M TALENTED! I consider myself the best cleaner I know. I can clean like nobody’s business! It’s a blessing and a curse. If I don’t watch it, I will spend entirely too much time cleaning something insignificant that no one will even notice :)

    I can touch my nose with my tongue and know the words to almost any song on the radio. Both completely useless talents!

    I’M TALENTED! As I was looking through the other comments I saw that someone is really good at procrastinating…and I thought yes I have that same talent! I am right now procrastinating! There is a messy kitchen just beyond this screen and I am definitely procrastinating about cleaning it as well as many others things that I am avoiding to do. Well, I should get to those things and not do what I like to do best. Sigh.

    Oh and congrats on getting a offer on your house! So exciting! I hope everything goes smoothly with this transaction. New house! New house! I don’t think I am the only one chanting. Oh yes, procrastinating again…see you tomorrow!
