OK Boys and Girls
Here it is YOUR CONTEST
The one and only contest you don't have to
Worry about Derek giving you trouble.

That is cause I am in charge here.

Time to go and get into your Dad's (or Mom's) tools
Pick out a favorite blank and pen kit.
And run over to Grandpa and say "PLEASE"

There is an old saying
"If Mom says 'NO"......Go and ask GrandMa!"
That works here also Kids.

Remind them how good you have been all year and
that you will clean your room next week.
Explain to them How jealous all the other kids
are of you having them for gramdparents/parents.
Tell them how great they will feel once they see
you final creation.

AND IF NONE OF THAT WORKS
BRIBE THEM!!
Tell them you will share your winings.

SO.....Get to work kids.....You have 14 days and counting.

:bananen_smilies022: HELLO BOYS & GIRLS :bananen_smilies022:
Just a little note to remind you that you have nine days left.
:eek:
Grab Dad's hand and drag him away from the TV.
Make some brownies for Grandpa and you to share in the shop.
Get a big glass of milk for each of you.
:biggrin:
Now explain to the fellows that you know their little secret and need to be taught more about pens.
By making a pen and entering it, you have a chance at fame and fortune in the IAP.
Thats right kids......you can be known as a force within this world to make things better.
Your name could be the future of the IAP. Old men could stare in wonder.
You might just be the one.
:eek: But that won't happen if you don't get to work. :eek:

Angelina gets too cold to go into the shop right now, and the youngest is chomping to go out as soon as I get home from work. So I may have one entering depending on how much I have to help her vs how much she actually does.

Scott (to the top) B



Hey Scott,
Do you think I should tell them that some of your blanks will be in the prize box they will recieve, if they are in the top three places?

Maybe I should post a picture.
Maybe tomorrow.

OK Kids......here it is. The final warning about this contest.

You have 1 more day!
25+ hours!
1,500+ minutes

Depending on your time zone.

So, put the video games down.
Stop with the texting.
Step away from the TV and Computer.

Go and raid the blank collection....find a pen kit.
Get some rope and tie an adult in the chair to watch you.
OK.....give them a cell phone to dial 911 in case they need to.

Make yourself a pen and show the world what you like!

Good luck everyone.
