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 am a master at off the cuff bad poetry or re-structured song lyrics to fit a wacky moment!

    I’M TALENTED!

    My special talent is I can twist some pretty elaborate balloon animals and sculptures. I never fully went into business full time with it, but I’ve definitely done kids parties/events for friends!

    I can name all the US Presidents in chronological order – I taught myself last year as some weird personal challenge I “had” to master.

    Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Adams…I’ll stop now hahaha.

    I’M TALENTED.. I had to learn how to juggle to graduate from college. Nope, not even clown college, it was a “lifetime sport”!

    I’m talented! I always know what time it is, within five minutes, even if its been hours since I last saw the clock. Weird, right?

    I know an absurd amount about a couple of things. Those things are as follows: John Mayer, the Apollo program (13 in particular), and zombies!

    I’M TALENTED!!

    I have a weird knack for ‘old-fashioned hobbies’ and crafts. I don’t understand twitter and I can’t snowboard, but I can weave, and I make a mean homegrown blueberry rhubarb jam!

    I can tie cherry stems in knots with my tongue – and, remember almost every telephone number i’ve ever been given, or i’ve ever had……if only my memory worked that well all the time!

    I am a pretty good cook, I sing, dance, and can identify hundreds of trees and plants. I also have an eye for fashion.

    I’M TALENTED. I can retain a substantial amount of information to be spilled forth at random, but not always germane opportunities.

    I’m talented…People tell me I’m a pretty good cook/baker. It must be in the genetics because my mom is an excellent cook, however, she never really taught me when I was still living on my own. I didn’t learn how to cook until I got married and was forced to learn :-)
