    Oh, this would come in so handy, so I NEED SKILLS! And I wish I had a sense of direction. I’m okay with a map, but get me turned around in a subdivision, and you might as well give me up for dead. ;-)

    I wish I was somehow musically inclined. My husband can play anything you hand him and I can barely keep a beat when I tap my foot.

    I Need Skills!

    Oh wow, this is kinda funny but this weekend I found myself cutting the grass around the borders or my flowers beds (by the cool rocks, that the edger couldn’t get to) with scissors! yes, I looked like that obsessive weirdo, scissors in hand, on my knees, cutting grass. Yikes. So, how timely that this giveaway came up, wouldn’t it be great to win.. and no more trimming grass with scissors!! :)

    I NEED SKILLS! And my much-wished-for skill would be to sing in front of others or to be better at playing the piano and guitar.

    This looks like a great tool. My husband keeps mentioning something similar, so maybe he’ll find one or the other as a Father’s Day gift. Thanks for the idea guys!

    …and boy could I ever use some dancing skills. I grew up on the mission field, and I wasn’t allowed to dance (I know, so silly!). I think that I missed out on that all important time when you gain that ability to dance, and now I have absolutely no rhythm. Doesn’t stop me from trying though! LOL
