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 –> Mine isn’t a unique talent, but I am a fair-to-middling DIYer, undertaking tasks that my girlfriends automatically call their men to do. Secretly, I think if they didn’t assume that they can’t do it and actually gave it a try, they might surprise themselves!

    I’M TALENTED! I’m not sure how much of a “talent” this is, but I’m really good at taking care of people when they’re sick. Vomit doesn’t bother me one bit :)

    I’m Talented! I love to draw, knit, and do stained glass…I’m not sure if I’m great at any of them but that’s beside the point.

    I can do pretty spot on impressions of all of my coworkers, which includes differentiating between Cameroonian and Nigerian accents. So useful…NOT.

    I can bend just my first set of finger joints! Otherwise, I don’t know how talented I am, but I do like to create things.

    I can discreetly read your blog while sitting in a business meeting. It’s much more entertaining and cool!

    I can actually whistle through my rolled-up tongue. I was inspired to do that as a child watching “Gnome Mobile”.
