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

    I wish I could draw or paint somewhat realistically. I am very creative but cannot draw or paint to save my life. I’m going to try getting into abstract art though for cheap artwork in my apartment.

    I NEED SKILLS! I wish I was a little better at cooking. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not horrible, but I only know how to make a handful of things well and tend to stick to those things. I can’t improvise when I cook and I need a recipe to look off of.

    I need skills something serious! And I wish I could draw! Things would be so much easier if I could just draw what I was trying to say (like the way I wanted the molding above the beadboard to look like or the way I wanted the plants and shrubs to be positioned) and those listening could understand more clearly! Uh hum.. (my wonderfully handy husband :))
