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’m good at a lot of things, but only in relation to people who aren’t. For example, friends who know nothing about gardening think I’m an expert gardener. People who don’t speak French are impressed that I’m “fluent.” And so on. :)

    I can sleep through anything (including flight delays and kitchen demolitions). It’s my secret power :)

    I’m talented – I can paint walls like a pro and cook up some of the best bread you’ve ever tasted! (I’m not so bad with a paintbrush and a canvas either) … ha!

    I can take any mundane event and retell it as the most hilarious story you’ve ever heard.

    I’m talented… I’m good at math. So much so I teach math. It’s amazing how many people get lost with numbers. But I’m doing my part to change that.

    I’m talented because I taught myself to juggle when I was 7 and I still remember how to do it (but not always well).

    I’m talented! Except I’m not really. The only thing I can think of that might be considered a talent is my ability to ALWAYS have a sarcastic comment to offer, no matter the situation or wether it’s appropriate or not.

    I’M TALENTED! I make jewelry. And I have to say it is the most gratifying art form I’ve ever dabbled in (and I’ve dabbled in quite a few) b/c for the first time my finished piece looks as good in person as it did in my head, if not better. Which NEVER happened before. So very, very gratifying when I discovered that. :)

    I’M TALENTED! I have to say, my talent is teaching middle schoolers. I love their goofy energy, but I know they’re not for everyone!

    I’M TALENTED! I have to say I’m good at using my hands. I willingly wield a paintbrush, a hammer, or power up the sewing machine. I love a good project!

    I’M TALENTED!
    I can pack for a move like no one’s business. I have a special skill at then being able to pack all of those boxes into the back of a UHaul like it’s a Jenga game.

    I’m Talented! I can remember song lyrics after only hearing a song once. Sadly, this talent only works musically. I have a horrible memory for everything else!
