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 love to cook and I’m starting to get into needlepoint. Here’s hoping it goes as well as the cookery.

    I’M TALENTED … I can grow amazing chilli peppers – and make a rather powerful sweet chilli sauce from them!

    I can recite all 50 states in alphabetical order. Well, more like sing them. . . it is from a song I learned in elementary school eons ago and for some reason my brain has just held onto it.

    I’m talented.

    I have a wonderful memory for details in stories — told or read. I am terrible, however, with remembering names of people I’ve just met.

    I manage to handle two boys under two everyday all day and not pull out all my hair ;).

    I’m talented! I recently re-discovered that I can draw things pretty well. Just did a chalk drawing of Grumpy Cat that I’m really proud of (which, BTW, I had to overcome my whole chalk aversion to do so!)

    I’m talented! I can hold my breath underwater by sealing off my nostrils with my upper lip. The best part about this talent is that when I tell others what I can do, they immediately try to do the same. I get to see a lot of funny faces.

    I can touch my tongue to my nose. For reals. I taught myself how to do it over the period of several months while I was in college. Now you know.

    I’M TALENTED! I can make a decent homecooked meal from a basically empty fridge! You know when you run out of almost everything…somehow I can still whip up a family dinner! Booyah!

    “I’M TALENTED”

    Well, I can do the Vulcan hand greeting (live long and prosper from Mr. Spock) with both hands. Does that make me bilingual? Or just nerdy????

    I’M TALENTED! Because I can catch a grape in my mouth even if someone throws it from the other side of the room :)

    I’m Talented! I can cook just like on chopped, pretty much whip a meal out of very little or odd ingredients!
