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 can make the irises of my eyes vibrate and I can catch just a glimpse of someone I’ve met before on TV or in a picture and recognize them immediately.

    Useful talents, eh? ;)

    I remember numbers – phone numbers, addresses, account numbers, the SSN of my former boss (from when I was in high school – 18 years ago!!)

    I’m “artistic” – that can show up as a watercolor painting, a sketch, a handmade card, or even garden design. Art makes life more fun!

    I’m great at organizing my time and priorities. Sounds kind of lame but it’s really useful.

    I’M TALENTED! I enjoy thinking of one single perfect word to describe people after I meet them, usually pretty spot-on :)

    I’m really good at finding cabs. It’s my hidden super power. If I can’t find a cab, I will call one and it will arrive shortly. Don’t be jealous.

    I’M TALENTED! My sister and I have an odd talent for memorizing music, lyrics, and movie lines almost instantly. We can hear something once and quote it, while other people just think we’re weird.

    I’m talented! I can walk a mile with a book balanced on my head. And I’m a speed reader, a slightly more practical talent.

    I’M TALENTED! I can make a great cheesecake, but since you mentioned it, I can also wiggle my ears – one side at a time (had a lot of time to kill on the school bus).

    i’d say my special talent is major trivia skills. i constantly forget important things like grocery list items or my mother in law’s birthday, but ask me a random fact about the backstreet boys or 18th century england, and there’s a good chance i’ll be able to come up with the answer!

    I’M TALENTED! I can make my knee caps fart. I lay on my back put my legs up grab the back of my knees and kick away. Same concept as hand inserted in armpit doing the chicken wing. (although I cannot do that) just funnier.
