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 can tell my husband where anything in our house is at any given time. He finds it very helpful!

    I LOVE to bake and cook, and most of the things I make are really good. Of course, there have been a few times we’ve had to trash it and get a pizza :)

    I sing reasonably well and (as my family will tell you) can memorize song lyrics and lines from TV shows like nobody’s business. Can’t seem to remember anything worthwhile, though… :-)

    I’M TALENTED! My fiance always makes fun of my “monkey feet” because I can pick things up and open drawers etc. with my toes (comes in handy – har har – when your hands are full!) But I’m also crafty and creative, I’m the one my friends all come to when they need help setting up for parties, making wedding favours, or decorating a room. Oh and I can crochet a cute toque. :)

    I’M TALENTED! I teach 3rd grade and I have everyone’s name memorized before school starts. When they arrive and come into the room the first day, I greet all 30 by name. Never fails to impress the parents!

    I love diy projects that add character to our little apartment :) I also enjoy sewing, cooking, and other crafts.

    My talent is baking, or so my family says… I think it’s baking under pressure when kids come home at 5 PM and say they need 4 dozen cupcakes tomorrow morning. :P

    I’M TALENTED! I can remember random details about the lives of friends that makes me seem a tiny bit stalker-ish. Like if you even mentioned your exboyfriend’s mom’s profession… I’ll never forget it. Or if your son’s friend’s mom had an embarrassing incident at a school drop off – I’ll be sure to bring it up 4 years later. It’s a gift, really.

    My friends would say that my special talent is cupcake baking, although I have spent years playing the viola, and while I’m not sure I’m exactly talented, I’m not totally bad either

    I can photoshop my head onto any number of random celebrities and make it look almost real.
    Also, I’m pretty gifted at applying liquid eyeliner on any mode of public transport (excluding horse-back).

    I’m talented . . . at putting my foot in my mouth. Not literally (although . . . checking . . . yeah, I can do that, too); I mean I can somehow manage to say the absolute stupidest things in nearly every situation. More of a curse than a gift, I guess. ;)

    I can, indeed, wiggle my ears. And I can remember every bit of celebrity gossip that I overhear. It’s useless but entertaining.

    I’m talented! My only good talent is finding 4-leaf clovers. I’m not sure it’s brought me any extra luck, but I find them everywhere even when i’m not looking!
