  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • ELIGIBILITY: This bad boy ships to the US only.

    I NEED SKILLS in being able to be “level”. No, i’m not talking mentally, although sometimes, that’s up for debate…But level as in being able to draw a straight line, cut in a straight line, and recently, tile in a straight line…really puts a bummer in my “i want to be a superwoman” efforts
