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 have a crazy good memory for little known facts, which is really only useful for trivia games.

    I’m talented! I actually do sing. Back when I was young, I got paid to sing. Now it is just a hobby.

    I can do pretty good voices/impressions. Maybe I should have been a voice actor?

    I’ve discovered I have quite a green thumb for succulents = the easiest plant in the world to grow. But hey, I’ll take it!

    I was a ballerina for 27 years and I am now a (wanna-be) photographer. Also, since you asked, I can wiggle my ears (and eyeballs). Seriously.

    I’M TALENTED!!

    I never follow a recipe word for word. I always read it and then change things up to make it my own. Works out most of the time!

    But I’m not… really… unless you call singing along to the radio a talent. Because I’ve got that down pat!

    I’M TALENTED

    I’m surprising handy! I did a ton of cosmetic work to my mom’s house before we listed it. I tore up carpet, spackled nail holes, painted all the rooms of the house, and did some landscaping. Since I’m not a home owner myself, I surprised my whole family, including myself!

    …oh and I’m also freakishly accurate when shooting a shotgun!! Lol

    I’M TALENTED! I have a good memory, and I used it for doing speech and poetry competitions in high school… and also to freak out my friends by remembering random tiny facts about their lives. But it’s selective! I’m a checker at a grocery store, and when I’m at work, I can’t keep a number in my head for more than about ten seconds seconds. So my coworkers get a kick out of the fact that the girl who remembers the names of customers she’s met one time has to call back three times in order to remember the price of something.

    I’M TALENTED! I learned about 15 minutes ago I have a really convincing Kermit the Frog impression. Does that count?

    I’m talented! I can decorate wedding cakes, travel the world, raise two kids with my awesome hubby, throw a mean dinner party. Kind of all normal stuff. Does it count that my bff can play ping pong with her eyeballs???
