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 tend to be a jack of all trades, but I’m probably best at painting. Whether it’s a wall, exterior trim, a bit of “barn art” on my barn, or pulling out the AS chalk paint to upcycle furniture I’ve found at the thrift store, I’m painting it. there is nothing like the quick beautiful results from new coat of paint! :)

    My talent is making natural handmade soap from scratch! I taught myself how to make it and love it.

    I’m an excellent multi-tasker and can work on many projects at the same time (my husband doesn’t appreciate this skill since they have yet to be complted)!

    I’m talented–I taught myself embroidery (thank you Internet) and I like to think I do a pretty good job.

    I am really good at sense of direction. I only need to follow directions once and can usually get back to my destination even years later. Comes in handy when your GPS is dead!

    “I’M TALENTED”
    I have a memory for numbers. I know hundreds of phone numbers, account numbers, etc. It’s probably clogging up my brain and keeping me from remembering something really important!

    I am really good at spelling words backwards. It’s a super-marketable skill, obviously, so my family is quite proud. :-)

    I am a proof-reading savant. I am the one who reads a book and finds all the typos that the editors and publishers missed. In my former life (before kids), everyone in my office asked me to proof their projects. I can’t read a menu without wincing. There has to be a business opportunity there, right???

    I can tell which kid actually started it, without even being in the same room to witness the event in question…

    Does knowing the plots of (almost) every television show on right now count as a talent??:)
