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 because I can remember all of my friends phone numbers without using my contact list.

    I’M TALENTED! I’m a triplet mom, so I have perfected the art of multitasking. I also work from home, so my focusing skills can’t be beat. I can write an article with three kids and two dogs running circles around me. :)

    I can talk to anyone about anything not controversial. It’s from 10 years of being a cashier ;-)

    I’m Talented!! My special talent is knowing random information that no one will ever use. Well that’s not true, my gift of knowing random information helped my husband and I win a trivia contest when we were on our honeymoon in Key West!

    I’M TALENTED!!!! I was always able to memorize trivia and poetry. Now as I’m getting older I often think, “Where are my keys?” and I say to myself, “Cowards die many times before their death…”. I guess I retained those memories too!! :)

    P.S.

    I’m talented! And I can indeed wiggle my ears, although I never considered it much of a talent :) In keeping with the decor theme, I am very good at visualizing how paint colors, furniture arrangements, and other room changes might look!

    I’m talented-I can remember soooo many things that other people tell me- mundane things like what they ate last time we were at a restaurant but I can’t remember what I did yesterday.

    I’m a not too shabby interior painter. Not really by choice…by necessity. :)

    I’M TALENTED – I am pretty good (and getting better) at refinishing furniture. I am about to refinish an old coffee table set yellow with the top finished with slate chalkboard paint for my little one to use.

    I’M TALENTED! My talent is cooking amazing meals from random ingredients found at home (case in point- last night’s dinner- leftover brie cheese, slices of granny smith apples, chopped chicken left over from taco night, all in a panini on rosemary bread leftover from pasta night)!

    I’m talented – I can always remember faces. Which actually just usually makes me creepy because I know I’ve seen someone before and I have to figure it out, then I say hi and they have no clue. But if I ever witness a crime it will be a good skill.
