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’m pretty good with a sewing machine (although I must admit I’ve been using your hem tape method a lot lately)!

    I’M TALENTED! I’ve been told I’m a good baker, and I’m a bit obsessively detail-oriented (is that really a talent?)

    I have the talent or gift of procrastination! I can put anything off to the last minute–and still manage to get it done!

    I’M TALENTED … I can sing What a Wonderful World and sound almost exactly like Louis Armstrong. Ok, so maybe that is not exactly a talent, but hey, I like WM! :)

    I’m talented!

    At introducing friends to each other nd then getting abandoned. Awkward. But I’m also learning to play the mandolin, and I don’t suck at it. :)

    I’M TALENTED! I have quite the talent for remembering the most irrelevant events/times/dates… Like the shirt I wore when I took the SATs for the first time. Who remembers that kind of thing?

    I’m talented! I’ve never met a handcraft I don’t get along with. I have supplies for at least a dozen different types in my house, along with finished examples of most of them.

    Or not. I can wiggle my ears but I guess my most apparent talent is to fry the perfect egg. At least by my husband and I’s standards. We like hard set whites with a runny yoke and I now have it down to a science! Well I do on our stove that is…

    I’m talented! I have a loud wicked wicked-witch laugh (think Tales from the Crypt laugh) that I pull out on Halloween – my kids love it.
