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 move my eyes separately and look in two different directions at once. (Though, y’know, I don’t like to do it in polite company).

    I’m talented! I can… sing along to most songs on the radio. And eat things containing chocolate with more joy than anyone I know.

    I’m also a very good photographer, but it’s a toss-up which one of those talents has more impact on my life :)

    I’M TALENTED…

    I do musical theatre, singing and dancing :) And, over the past 2/3 weeks, I have read every single blog post from the start of this blog (for decorating inspiration for the house I just bought)!

    I’M TALENTED

    My talent is actually just that I believe I can do anything myself. I’m not necessarily an expert at any single thing but when I see something really neat, my first thought is, “I could do that!” It enables me try a million things and discover that I truly can tackle almost anything! Does it always work out, heck no! But, I’m always proud of myself for attempting things and never thinking I have to live with what I have. (We just bought a new “renovator” and believe me, I will be saying “I can do that” a lot in the years to come!)

    I don’t feel like I have any big special talents, but I do enjoy cooking and baking for my family.

    I’M TALENTED! I can draw pretty well (useful when explaining something with words is not really working ;-)

    I’m talented…
    I have been doing ceramics since I was 8 and I am now specialised in sculptures of women, head or full body. My favorite is reproducing greek sculptures but of course smaller and in clay. It’s not my job though, just my hobby :)

    I’m talented at remembering lyrics to songs from the 90’s even though it’s 2013 now. Jeremy Jordan and snow eat your heart out =)

    I speak 4 languages fluently, and can get by in a 5th one. I find learning languages relatively easy – a handy talent since I love traveling! :)

    I’M TALENTED at reading body language. Not in a crazy way, but in a ‘often people don’t need to speak around me, because I already know’ kind of way :D

    I’M TALENTED!

    I am extremely efficient at repetitive tasks. My friends and I love volunteering for administrative type tasks for charities, such as stuffing envelopes with thank you letters. They love to see us coming because they know we will power through thousands of packages in an afternoon.

    I’m Talented! Sadly I’m very talented at procrastinating, but I guess that means I’m also talented at getting things done at the last minute under pressure!

    I’m talented!

    I can remember grocery prices for staples so I know when prices go down and can stock up, or when to avoid buying something because it’s higher than it should be.
