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 crafty. I can sew, embroider, decorate cakes, and bake… but only with a pattern/recipe!

    I’m talented! My talent is being funny and telling jokes – at least, my 9- and 10-year-old students think that is my best talent. My husband…not so much! :)

    I’m talented! I can take the most random thrift store or yard sale find and make it work in any room. I love to paint and refurbish old furniture and knickknacks.

    I’m talented, meaning that I have completely mentally decorated my dream home on the beach. It’s fabulous. Maybe I can be one step closer to making it a reality!

    I’M TALENTED – My special talent is to juggle three balls with two hands for almost 5 seconds.

    I’M TALENTED! I always remember birthdays, even if I haven’t seen the person or celebrated the person’s birthday in years. I still remember the birthdays of ex-boyfriends of my friends from college.

    TALENT ME! My husband is the musically talented one of the family ranging in instruments (including but not limited to) harmonica, drums, piano, guitar, bass…you name it, he plays it! Me, on the other hand, I have an uncanny memory for meaningless facts of movie and celebrity trivia…SO useful haha!
