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.

    IM TALENTED! Im talented in singing and playing the piano/ guitar- or at least, so I’m told :). All I know is I love doing those things so I’ve worked long and hard creating them into a talent.

    IM TALENTED… And exhausted, but I guess I can pack really well – fit way more than you would think into a car or bag, oh and I’m moving so that’s on my mind!

    I’M TALENTED! at finding things others have lost… from car keys (on a weekly basis) to dog collars (at a friend’s house I had visited only once before)… is there an X-man identity for that? :)

    I’M TALENTED!

    I can remember the names of people I haven’t seen in three to four decades.
    I’m reasonably good at drawing/painting.

    I’M TALENTED!

    I’m a pretty crafty person, especially when I get a set of directions. I can follow a tutorial/recipe/Ikea assembly page/map like it’s nobody’s business. I’m somewhat creative, but I’m not a risk taker so I like to do creative things that someone has already laid out for me. :)

    I’m TALENTED because I can do 6 household chores at the same time – cook, wash, dry, clean the floors, wash the dishes and supervise my son on his online therapies!

    I’m talented! I would say I am talented at… cooking. I make a mean Thanksgiving turkey, there might be bacon and maple syrup involved. ;)

    I’M TALENTED:

    I can make 5 loops with my tongue. That’s my weird human talent. Also, I love to paint (artwork).

    I’m talented! My accuracy rate for guessing the correct year a movie was made is pretty high especially if it was during the 80’s or 90’s.

    I’m talented!
    I remember every plot of every book I ever read.
    It was useful in getting my English degree; in the real world, not so much…

    I’M TALENTED!

    I can flip up my upper lip, flip down my lower lip, and hold it without hands. I call it my “super power”

    “I’M TALENTED” I love to read, cook, and build furniture but my special talent would be to love and be very close to my grandkids.

    I’m talented! I can draw a remarkably straight line without a ruler. Also I can eyeball whether a picture is hung straight/level and come within a degree or so.

    “IM TALENTED!”

    My special talent would probably be along the lines of hospitality. I love to make people feel welcome, and am frequently whipping up meals and throwing parties for those I love.
