Why don't we have a contest next year for this years mug. That way people would have a year to get a great shot. Like one skydiving, or on the great wall of China.

I attempted this type of activity in 2012 and 2013. The response was underwhelming. I think people just don't really think about taking their IAP mug with them when they travel to get the great shots.

Here is a link to the 2012 announcement.

http://www.penturners.org/forum/f170/creative-mug-shots-93106/

At the conclusion of that BASH I made an announcement that the contest would repeat in 2013 and I encouraged members to get a great shot sometime in the coming year. It just didn't work out. We got some fantastic Photoshopped entries, but no "on location" photos.

The "loot" arrived in today's mail. The stein looks great (sandstone) and I really like the blue mug. The t-shirt and ball cap will be worn with pride, as will the pins. The best was a short note thanking me for my support.

Thank you Jeff for giving me a place to hang out when I'm not working or turning. This group has taught me more than I would have ever thought possible, has provided access to all kinds of material I would not have been able to obtain on my own and is the warmest, friendliest group of people around (most of the time). The little contribution I made has been repaid too many times to mention.

I can drink coffee again!!!! And be well dressed at our Alamo Chapter meeting next week!
Got my "big" mug today, along with a T=shirt, hats and pin. One of the hats will go into our meeting raffle. Your Thank You note was real class.
What great service!
Thanks Jeff for all you do for us. Thank your "shipping dept." for all of us.

My mug showed up today and has already been christened with it's first cup of coffee.

If you haven't ordered yours yet, it's not too late...

Heading downstairs to pack 17 boxes. Except for one to Canada and one to Australia, you should all have your goodies by the weekend.

There has been a couple day lull in shipping while I attended to other Bash tasks (like getting the boatload of Donation Drawing prizes queued up for posting). I expect to get everything ordered through tonight shipped on Friday.

If you ordered a mug more than a week ago and it has not shown up, send me a PM and I'll track it down.

IAP T-SHRT PAYS OFF!

A couple of weeks ago I wore my new IAP t-shirt to the gym. One of the members asked me what IAP was which I explained. He then asked if he could see my pens so last week I took in my case to show him. He was very impressed, as were the other 3-4 people who gathered around. In the end, I got orders for 8 pens, 5 of them high end. I used to have a web site but took it down and only sell by word of mouth now. This gym is located in a medical complex and has quite a few doctors as members, doctors who have way too much money and like shiny things they can show their friends.
I've always been very low-keyed about my work, mostly because actively selling them was way too much work and my real enjoyment was making them, but if the customer comes to me, I am more than happy to make what they want.
All of this because of a lil' old t-shirt~
Thanks Jeff
Cheers
Bob
