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.

House Talent Giveaway

  • PRIZE: $250 gift card to World Market courtesy of HouseTalent (or an equivalent store if the winner is international)
  • TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “I’M TALENTED” and tell us…
  • BONUS QUESTION: … what’s your special talent? Do you sing or play a musical instrument? Do you have a photographic memory that wows all of your friends? Or can you wiggle your ears?
  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • PRIZE SHIPS: This giveaway ships anywhere in the world!
  • GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, May 15th or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
  • USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winners will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winners. Good luck…
  • ***COMMENT ISSUES? If you’re trying to enter but keep getting a “duplicate comment” warning, click here to see how to solve it!

Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of HouseTalent.

    I’M TALENTED!

    I have an internal GPS! I always know which direction I’m facing and I only need to see a map of a town/city once to get the general layout in my head. On a trip to New York City, I once had 6 people come up to my asking for directions…and I actually knew the answers (as least I hope I knew the answers for their sake!)

    I’m talented: I have the shocking ability to go without sleep for six straight days. A special shout-out to my three month old daughter who has decided to go on a sleep strike… Most likely because she knows 1:00 AM and 2:00 AM and 3:00 AM… are the very best times to catch up on our favorite blogs!
