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 somehow have lots of beautiful houseplants without doing a whole lot to care for them.

    I’m not sure what my “secret talent” would be, but I’m really good at arts/crafts and I’ve been told I’m the best bleacher cheerer for my daughter’s softball team!!

    “I’M TALENTED!”

    One of my “special talents” is figuring out math problems quickly. I’m a 4th grade teacher and have an unusual LOVE of math haha. After I figure out a problem, my sister always teases me because I usually say “Wanna know how I did that??” :)

    …and my talent is being a major green thumb in the garden. I have a wonderful great-grandmother to thank for that!

    I am an above average amateur photographer (I’ve had pro photos say that I could make money from my shots!), I have a knack for finding lost things, and I’m a great four-leaf clover finder.

    IM TALENTED!

    My “special” talent is my ability to remember everything. I have been known as the “Walking Manual” or a “Fem-Bot” because I know every policy or precedure and know what manual, page and date it was updated. I am starting to get that way about your blog– LOVE IT!

    I can do a pretty good Cher impression – not sure how far that will take me in life but it makes for a good laugh :)

    I can whistle very loudly, and do that bird-call thing where you blow into your hands.

    Have you heard the saying, “jack of all trades, master of none”? Yep, that’s me. I like to do all sorts of different things: sing, sew, decorate. But I wouldn’t say I’m proficient in any of them. At least I’m consistent!

    I’M TALENTED!!!

    I’m actually on my second career even though I’m in my 30’s. I’m a massage therapist and a lot of folks don’t know it. That’s a super-power according to my friends and family :-)
