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!

    Although I am artistic both in the visual and performing arts, I feel that my special talent has become being everyone’s “Go to girl!” It seems my friends and family count on me for doing everything from organizing events to being their very own Google! LOL

    I make killer drinks and have been told that I should be a professional party planner because all my parties kick butt.

    I’m talented! I can remember inane details of situations that happened years and years ago–my high school sweetheart(to whom I’ve been married now for a long time) does not have the appreciation for this skill that I do! :)

    I bring children’s books alive. I break into every character and use different voices while reading my girls books…… :)

    I can flip a stack of quarters off my elbow and catch them in my hand! I know that’s weird, but it’s fun. I also have a very good memory!

    I’m not sure if it counts as a talent, but I love baking and especially challenging myself with more difficult recipes as I get more comfortable with it.

    “I’M TALENTED”
    My husband tells me if there was a contest for loading the dishwasher with the highest number of dishes I would win. Pretty sad talent, but it comes in handy when you have to do it every day :)

    I’m Talented! I have a great ability to think outside the box when it comes to inventions or just construction projects to get exactly what I want.
