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 have a really good sense of smell (which does NOT always serve me well…NYC subways I’m talking about you). I say it’s because I have bad hearing and it makes up for it, but I’m not sure that’s true.

    I can remember random numbers. Like phone numbers and my credit card numbers. Silly.

    IM TALENTED! I don’t want to toot my own horn and I am certainly not the only one with my talent, but……I am a pretty awesome mom! I mean raising a human being is no small feat as well as cooking, cleaning, multi-tasking every single day.

    I can sew curtains, slipcovers, shades, duvets; and they look better than most store bought items.

    It seems like everyone here has amazing memories – is forgetting details a talent too? Alternative talents: I bake a mean cake and I’m quite good at sudoku.

    I like to think I’m great at DIYing house stuff that looks fab on a tight budget. Though I think that’s what we all do around here :)
