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 *really* good at figuring out song lyrics and memorizing a song after only hearing it once or twice. Now if only I could find a way to make money off of this… :)

    I’m the fastest reader I know. That seventh Harry Potter book? Knocked it out in less than a day of solid reading.

    I just got an updated credit score- 808. Since I’m poor, I guess having wicked good credit is a talent.

    And now I’m officially the most boring person in the comment section.

    “I’M TALENTED”. My talent is organizing. Closets are my favorite place to organize, especially if they are big enough to be decorated like a small room.

    I’m talented!! I can run the whole house (pay bills, mow the lawn ect..) while my husband is deployed. And work, keep his psycho ex-wife at bay, only totally lose it half way (maybe 3/4’s) when our oh so loved dog (our baby) of 16 years dies and still manage to get the laundry room paint job started! Phew! And that’s only the beginning! I tell ya, us women don’t get enough credit!!! :-) Have a great day ladies!!

    I’m talented! I remember details about people’s names, occupations, spouses, children, etc. more than I probably should!

    My special talent is being able to sing almost all the lyrics to almost every song (specially the ones I listed to in my childhood). I only wish my mind could remember something else (like things for my job) just as well!

    Umm, I played the French Horn in high school but that might take some brushing up now. :)

    I have an amazing ability to spoil dogs absolutely rotten and make them feel super loved, cherished and safe. If that’s a talent!

    My special talents are having full conversations in movie quotes and coming up with random one-line zingers out of the blue.

    Congrats on your houses!

    My special talent is knowing every sing word to (almost) every song – especially my childhood songs. If only my brain did something slightly more useful with that space.
