I can write caligraphy style, altho it's been awhile and would take some time to get back into the rythym of it.

My other talent I guess is wedding cakes (self taught, no classes taken). The last cake I made was published in a wedding magazine in NYC. I have 2 cakes to make this year, one this Saturday. It's a side job, I don't do it too often but it's like therapy for me. I get into my 'zone' and blank everything out except for the cake.

I would love to see some pics. I think that is a great talent

I make pottery, mostly throw on the wheel, but some is hand made. I have a picture of a few pieces on my homepage if anyone wants to see a small sample. I usually just do it for enjoyment for myself. I have recently been playing around with the idea of selling a few items though because people actually like it, so am thinking about it. I always donate a few peices to our church Christmas bazaar fundraiser every year and it sells and this past year my oldest daughter requested a few pieces for Christmas. Then a good friend of mine is getting married next month and we were discussing wedding gifts because I really wanted to get her something she really wanted not just something off her registry and she told me "in all these years I've known you, you have never given me a piece of pottery that is what I would really like as a wedding gift, a piece of pottery" so that's what she's getting. Hope she's not reading this, she's a member here, LOL. Anyway, I make pottery.

I can wiggle my ears. My family cannot figure out how to do it and they try and try to no avail to wiggle theirs. It's just a matter of squeezing the right muscles. It's a gift!

I guess my talent would be that I am creative. Ican make something out of nothing!!! I used to draw really good but through the years I have put the pencil down to raise kids. I do have a good eye for color but I don't think that is a talent. Oh! I can juggle! I forgot that. Yep, I can juggle!

I can too! And my DD is the only other one in the family who can do it. But when she does it, she wiggles her ears, crosses her eyes, and wiggles the tip of her nose up and down.

It may get stuck that way one day!

I can hop on a pogo stick AND play the violin at the same time! Never said it sounds good though, a little bumpy! My on,y real talent is playing the violin which I've been doing since 4th grade. I now teach the stringed instruments to kids in 4th and 5th grade.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think a sexy hot bod is actually considered to an attribute. Your talent would be the activities you preformed with your sexy hot bod. (You dirty girl, you. LOL )



I guess if you consider creativity a talent, that would be mine. (sewing, florals, crafts, etc.)

Most people say that I have a special way with animals. All animals seem to like me. Otherwise, I ride horses and I can sing and play the piano. Occasionally I can tell when something is going to happen before it actually does. It used to freak me out when I was a kid, but not so much anymore. My mom used to do that as well.

I can wiggle my ears and I can put my foot behind my head.

My talent would be that as a left hander I can write cursive backwards with ease. For example, Judi, I would spelled iduJ. I start from the right and write to the left. If you put it to a mirror you would see the reflection of the word spelled correctly. So for all you left handers out there, if you didn't already know this, try it.

I play words like a violinist plays a violin. I have a gift of gab a love of words. My talent is being able to talk. I can convince, sell, etc anything to almost anyone. I have sincere passion for most subjects so it's easy most of the time.

I can write backwards cursive with my left hand while writing forward with my right hand cursive at the same time. I start in the middle and go to the left with left hand and right with right hand.

I can wiggle my ears and have been doing it since I was a child. When I was in my mid-20's I had plastic surgery on my ears to pin them back and wondered if I would lose the "talent" after surgery but everything still works.

My favorite talent is frosting cupcakes. I can do it really fast and they look so professional or some people have even said that they don't even look real.

I can twitch my left breast, I guess it's flexing my left pec, touch my nose with my tongue and wiggle my ears and nose. Read a book a day and I know how to bind books and crochet. I can paint and wallpaper and upholster.
I can write foreward and backwards at the same time . I didn't know I was so talented. What I can't do is type without looking at the keys.

That reminds me of another "talent" I have, though it's been awhile since I've done it. I can tie a knot in a cherry stem while in my mouth, using my tongue. I think it was your reference to alcohol that reminded me. (LOL)

How cool! I can wiggle the sides of my nose. Like if you flared your nostrils and then wiggle them. My dad and my youngest daughter can do it too, but its so funny to watch other people try..lol

My main talent is writing. I have always been an excellent essay writer in high school and college..even now. My daughter was really struggling with her grades this past year because she had been sick so much. The only way she could pass was to get an excellent grade on her essay assignments. Well.. I wrote them for her using her ideas and teachers loved them!

My talents are I can sing. I love singing, while we are riding somewhere we all sing right along. The boys are constantly trying to get me to go to Nashville and sing "for someone important". LOL They are convinced I would make it big. I wouldn't because I would have a heart attack just trying to get in front of people to sing.

I can also draw murals. However, I can't draw on paper. But give me a wall and I can go to town. My brain must be very confused.
