I have been helping James(fireangels) get his feet wet running this event. It is now time for me to take a back seat and let him field any future questions/concerns. Please direct any communications to him at this point. If there is something that becomes time sensitive and you cannot reach him, I will still be available to help. If James can't get you an answer, I'm sure he will ask me for help but give him the chance to resolve it please. Thanks to all who joined the event and I can't wait to see some pens.

Thanks for guiding James to the light Landon!!! Glad you can take a breather and eat some of that Elk you have in the freezer!!! Let me know if you guys need a volunteer to make an extra pen or two.

My sender has contacted me, and I've been in contact with the guy that I'm sending to. Oddly enough, the pressure on me has just risen...

Here's a teaser for Jerry (Seer)

Jerry, so far, it's looks like you're going to have an early Christmas:biggrin: Thanks to James and, Landon for giving me this opportunity to spread some joy (I hope)

I have met both

Oddly enough I'm getting from a guy that I have been dealing with for several years. I'm sending to a young man who is only a couple of years older than my eldest grand son. The pen I'm sending is made and has been put up in show your pens....Now all you need to do is guess which it is. HINT: it is not one of these - they are just a few of the "mistakes" I've made. BTW the fourth one up from the bottom is a $12.00 Gitano, to give you an idea of the competition we face. It is a darned nice and very well made pen.

PITH is ready to go. Just going to give it a few days to finish curing before sending it on it's way.

There are shots of it in the 2011 Holiday PITH photo gallery :tongue::biggrin:

If everyone could use the photo gallery for finished pen photos and put teasers in this thread it would be appreciated. It would help keep the gallery cleaner so you do not need to sort through things to view the pens. Just a reminder to not post finished pens until your partner has received it as well. TY all.

Sorry, I was going off the earlier post from fireangels to put teasers in the gallery.

It doesn't look like I have the ability to delete or move mine but if the admins want to that works for me.

I did not realize he posted that, no worries. The original rules stated to put teasers in this thread, not a big deal I am sure either way will be fine. I did not mean to sound like the mean old teacher from school. :eek: Have fun with it but if everyone could be sure their pen has been received before posting finished pics that would be great.

Don't mean to sound wierd but since this is a HOLIDAY PITH shouldn't the pens be sent more towards the holidays?

End date to be received by is DEC 21st. Is that close enough to be considered toward the holidays. Nothing wrong with "early" gifts either I don't think.:wink:

Shipping Tomorrow

No mail pickup today so my Holiday Pith Pen and Blank will ship on the morrow. A small hint - the Component Set used was not purchased from one of the BIG sellers.
