    I'm good at baking, knitting and crocheting, and writing long research papers.  But I haven't done the last one in about 3.5 years so I might be terrible at it now, haha.

    Crochet. I'm fast and produce very clean, even work. I made a huge snowflake blanket one year for a friend. It was 59 separate pieces whip stitched together and 50" x 60" and it took me less than 60 days.

    I wish I could cook and bake well though. It would probably be more handy around here. ;)

    I'm a quick learner when it comes to hands on creative/crafty stuff. I can watch someone do something once and then I usually got it. I also make kick ass cookies. And I'm pretty knowledgeable with beer. I can make anyone a beer drinker. You just haven't had the right one :D

    Sewing...I actually went to school for theatrical costuming, so I kind of had to have sewing skill. I'm actually really sad right now because not only is my sewing machine broken, but I just had to put all my fabric in storage to make room for the baby. I need a bigger house. I also cross stitch pretty well, though slowly.

    DH likes to brag about my amazing ability to close potato chip bags in a way that they don't need a clip but won't go stale. So there's that.

    I'm good at hosting holidays and family/friends. I really enjoy planning, organizing and cooking for an event.

    I'm good at helping people see the big picture and not stress about the little things.

    ETA: Also, I'm really good at interviewing. I get any job I've interviewed for. A boss once told me I was the best interviewee he had ever met. I like interviewing so much more than actually working ;)

    Customer service and dealing with grouchy people. My coworkers at the hardware store where I worked hated me because I got this customer to talk who had been dubbed Silent Sam for years, lol.

    Ditto PP, interviewing. Also gotten every job I've interviewed for.

    Winning arguments (but only in person, I hate online bickering). Not such a good trait in a marriage.

    Well, I think I am pretty good at planning trips and vacations.  We went to Disneyworld in 2012 and I loved planning every minute of it.  Loved it.  We went as a group of 10 and one sister thanked me over and over again for planning the trip because they ran into almost no lines and another sister said it was the best trip she ever went on.

    I also believe I am a good cook.  I genuinely enjoy it.  I also enjoy creating new recipes and improving on older ones.

    I'm good at copying other people's crafts and such. I love public speaking, acting, performing and just being on stage in front of people. I'm also pretty good at organizing groups and events.

    I'm good at transcription, editing papers/articles, and teaching. I'm also good at playing piano and singing. I'm getting better at time management.

    I love learning so much about all of you, great post!

    I'm great at:
    sharing (blogging, welcoming new families to the school, talking to strangers)
    mediation
    public speaking
    teaching others (not in a school setting, more of a one-on-one mentor-type relationship) - I always got high grades on those school assignments where you have to write instructions on how to make a PB&J sandwich and stuff like that. I'm very detailed!
    meal planning, budgeting, and saving money in every day life
    research
    estimating the size of things (I can hang photos and hooks without measuring and I can tell you if a piece of furniture will fit just by it's measurements and knowing how big our home is) encouraging people in difficult situations
    relating to people who've just moved to town or just had babies - I love to share my life
    cooking & baking
    parallel parking
    empathizing with others
    driving on long road trips - I never have to pee!  :)
