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 sing- but i can also lock my hands behind my back and pull them over my head to be at the normal side of my body. Yes, its as strange as it sounds.

    I’M TALENTED! I can write in cursive in mirror image just as easily as I can the “normal” way. It usually freaks people out & it’s quite impressive if I do say so myself!

    I have a ridiculous number of song lyrics taking up most of the space in my brain. That, and I can touch my elbows behind my back.

    I’M TALENTED!!!

    I can sing well enough, and play several instruments. My proudest talent is acting, however, since it’s how I met my husband (on stage). :-)

    I can calculate tips in a heartbeat. My husband says this is a great talent. Mainly because he’s not good at mental math. haha.

    I’m talented! I’m particularly skilled at mysteriously breaking all electronics around me. I don’t even have to touch them… I’m that good. It’s like I emit ultrasonic electronics-breaking vibes.

    I can walk into a room and *not* step on Legos. This is a BFD in my house (hint: the managers at both local Lego stores know us by name).My husband thinks this is more of a super power because they seem to be drawn to his feet like magnets.

    I don’t have any one thing that I excel at, but I’m very hardworking, a quick learner, and ambitious. For those reasons, I was the youngest person in my company promoted to my Director-level position at the ripe old age of 29.

    I’M TALENTED! My special talent is a crazy good memory for all things pop-culture. I only wish it rolled over into other parts of my life.

    I’m talented! I like to think of my talent as an excellent karaoke singer, but I think my family and friends would beg to differ. But since you asked me, I’m sticking to it ;)

    I’m talented! While my strongest talent is probably my ability to ignore dirty dishes, I also make a pretty decent pie crust :)

    I’M TALENTED!! No real talents here but I do love to dabble in many different things and I guess I’m half-good at some of them!

    I’M TALENTED . . . at never winning these contests ;) I would have to say my most amazing talent is my memory of people (and their stories etc).

    I’m talented! I can balance 5 spoons on my face. Which was fun as a child until your mom made you do it in the middle of a restaurant and you didn’t have enough spoons so she asked to borrow some from the waitress
