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” – Played piano for 20 years, sang … but not enough lately. The talent I use the most now that most people don’t know about is DIY home/jewelry/shoe repair!

    Okay, at my age, some of my talents have left and I’ve gained some new ones but none that stand out as all that. However, I will say that I am good at loving people. I’m a mom to seven and I’m a faithful, loyal wife and friend and sister and I am pretty darn good at making people feel loved and appreciated. Does that count?

    I’m pretty good at training my dogs. I can tell my dog a certain singer and he can pick that artist out of a group of songs and he’ll start howling when the song plays! =)

    I’m talented! Specifically at going into world market and finding about 10 things I have to have! The talent comes in when I effectively have to hold myself off!

    I’M TALENTED! I can kill any plant that grows – even cacti and other hearty plants that require minimal care.

    I’M TALENTED! – I also try to name fonts when I see them…but that’s just a handy trick I’ve picked up from graphic designing. I actually come from a very musical family – I currently play the piano, and have also played the recorder, ukelele, spoons (haha), tin whistle, saxophone, acoustic guitar and have dabbled in drumming as well!

    I have an uncanny ability to remember dates, but not the specifics. For example, a date may sounds familiar, so I’ll be fairly certain something is already scheduled, but I couldn’t tell you that it was Aunt Millie’s 90th birthday party without looking at the calendar.

    I can recite the first 20 elements from the periodic table we learned in middle school (20 yrs later).

    I can say the alphabet backwards faster than I can forward.
