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 lots of useless trivia knowledge. I am especially good at remembering what year a movie first came out.

    I’m talented

    I’m pretty musical and play or played 4 instruments. The funny thing is that its fallen by the wayside and I haven’t picked up an instrument in probably 20 years.

    I’m talented! I can make a really good frog face. And after three kids, I can nurse a baby and do pretty much anything else at the same time.

    I’M TALENTED! I can recite the eye chart E FP TOZ LPED PECFD EDFCZP FELOPZD DEFPOTEC. I used to work at an urgent care center and would listen to people read it (as they covered one eye) over and over again. Didn’t realize I even knew it until one day when I was on maternity leave I kept repeating EDFCZP in my head. Couldn’t figure out what it was — message from outer space? Then I asked a co-worker if those letters meant anything to her and she said yeah, it’s a line from the eye chart. Now even my daughter has it memorized.

    I’M TALENTED!

    My special talent is that I can make up parodies of songs that rhyme and are on topic as the song is going on. It’s kind of a useless talent but it makes people laugh so… I also have a talent for cooking!

    “I’M TALENTED” I can procrastinate like nobody’s business. Is that a talent? I think so:)
