But thanks.

Even by getting the ideas from books, you still hand make them, so there, to me thats talent

I can sing. I sing solos at church quite often. In fact, our pastor's wife asked me to sing for the Easter Sunrise Service, but I'm not sure because you have to get up VERY early to be there. I know that there's better singers than me, but I still love to sing and I don't mind getting up in front of people to do it.

I'm a pretty good cook when I try. I'm fairly creative. In fact, I have curtains that I'm going to make soon. I'll post a picture of them when I get them done. I'm also a good hostess and we often have groups from church over to the house.

We all have so many talents we just don't recognize them as talents. I have a daughter who is soooo creative. She just amazes me at what she can do. She's a great cook and a wonderful Mom. As I said, she amazes me!!!

You shouldn't have to dig too deep to think of something! Come on girls!!!!

This is a hard one. I think my talent is being able to visualize. I mean, I see something in my head and can half way draw it out and make it. I made my son a stool when he was little so he could brush his teeth. It had a back to it and when you pulled the back forward to the floor, it made two steps. So in reality he had a little chair and a two-step stool. I love to do woodworking and can think of my own designs.

I also like to sing, my family likes it so I guess I'm not too bad and I like to sew clothes for the doggies.

This is a tough one. I'm good at most kinds of hand work, sewing, crochet, knitting, embroidery. Don't have time to do it. Once in a while, I will crochet a pot holder for a friend when I travel for business or something. I'm pretty good at creative things like putting together flyers to advertize events and such, being a bit of a perfectionist at things like this. I know how to plan things and make them happen. We plan trips for youth groups and such. I think I would be a good travel agent or event planner. Would be more fun than selling valves to chemical plants, but have to do what makes the most money for my family.

Would love to be a good singer, but have a node on one of my vocal cords that gives me a unique voice that is not too good for singing. I've thought of having it removed, but my family is accustomed to it and they don't want me to change. The doctor says they would not recognize my voice if I had surgery. Saw Julie Andrews in an interview on TV once. She had a node removed and now she sounds worse than before.

I play piano and violin. I also love to write and cook. Oh, and I can make straight A's, lol, does that count??

Other than that, I feel pretty normal. Nothing special.

I can play the piano. And I think I'm pretty charismatic. Hubby always makes me interact wtih people on a business level bc he says I'm good at it. And I guess I can cook when I actually try. I love to cook, but HATE going to the grocery store and cleaning up the kitchen, so I don't do it often.

Well ..hmmm... I used to work as a telemarketer (not the bill collector kind but the kind who sold vacations at discounts to people who traveled with the company before). My boss used to say I could sell icecubes to eskimos, but it was really that I am a people person. I made people like me & see they needed a vacation so it was hard for them to say no to me.

I also love being creative. I have made scrapbooks. (I did one for angie for her anniversary & I'm pretty sure she liked it). I love throwing themed birthday parties & am quite good at doing so. My last big one was a luau for my oldest daughter's B-day. My next project is a party with woodland theme & fairies for my baby girl who is turning 2 April 3rd. Hubby thinks I spend too much money for them, but my babies are only little once & I don't want to look back & I think "I could have but didn't"

Pretty sure I like it!?!? I cried for two hours! We are getting it framed at that memorabilia place when we move.

Can't wait till little bit's birthday.
