If you have received your PITH pen, please use the contact option here to let me know. I just need one quick sentence saying "angboy received her pen from jssmith" Thanks!

Ones with a line through them are matches where the pen has been received.







PITH 2006 Photo Album

I erased some important info so here it is:

November 30th is the date that everyone is supposed to have their pen to their recipient!

OK, a few updates, that I'm also going to put at the end of where the thread is now, so hopefully everyone will see it.

First, just a little guidance for people wondering what to do next. Now that the matches are made, I'd suggest contacting both the person you're making a pen for and the person who's making a pen for you (hopefully if I say for each person to do both, then at least in one direction it should happen!). You'll obviously need the mailing address for the place/person your pen is going to. You can e-mail the person by finding their name in the members section, and using the contact button.

Second, you can decide between yourself and the other person (whether you're on the giving or receiving end) about posting a picture here before the recipient gets the pen. Most of us tend to post pix of our pen, but if you post one, then it won't be a surprise to the recipient. My personal preference and recommendation would be to send the pen to the recipient and then either one of you can post a picture. Shouldn't they get to see it first, before everyone on the board gets a look at it? :)

Third, please do make sure that one of you has taken or takes a picture. Jeff's going to set up a special PITH album, so we'll want to see pix of everyone's pens!

Fourth, Jeff had mentioned that one set of people would receive his mug o' blanks, and the lucky winners are:

drumroll please...

We have 122 participants!!!!

- your PITH Mistress (I think I may have to insist on being addressed that way from now on- it has an interesting ring to it!

Anyway, here's how it works- if you want to participate, you'll make a pen for a randomly selected member and a randomly selected member will be making a pen for you. I'm going to close out people signing up on Oct. 20th, so you have clsoe to 2 weeks to decide if you want to participate. You'll be asked to get your pen to your recipient by the end of Nov, so you'll have a little over a month to make it.

Please don't sign up if you aren't going to follow through and make a pen for someone. I've only participated once before and I got my pen (thanks Chris!), but I know that inevitably a few people disappear without sending their pen (and then I may get blamed) so please don't do that to one of your fellow forum members, or me!

I'm in. I'll send you an email. And, just so you know, it will be all your fault if someone defaults.[:D] Then you have to make a pen to make up for it.[}:)]
 
Angela,

Count me in for the PITH. I have participated for the last two years and it is great fun. I have also sent an email as requested.

Tony

OK, no one else can sign up. The list is closed! I have to protect myself b/c of gerryr's rule that I didn't know about! [:D][:D]

OK, just kidding, I'm sure gerryr will split making those extra pens with me! [}:)][}:)]
 
Angela, after the PITH finishes, please draw one of the matched pairs at random and I'll send both members one of my Mug-O-Blanks packages. That's a dozen blanks and an IAP coffee mug. (Both members must complete the swap!)

I appreciate your participation in this, and many thanks to Angela for running it!
 
I'm in also. Thanks Angela for doing this.

I see no reason to do just one a year. Let's do one every four months...Those who want to participate can and the othes don't have to. I see it as a great way to build a collection of other penturner's pens. Its cheaper than buying one...all it costs is a kit and a blank and a little time. If one thinks sending a titanium gold baron and receiving a 10K slimline seems unfair then maybe one should not participate in this swap. We all know the rules and if we choose to participate then we should do so with the right attitude. Although, I would not be against setting some kind of standards, but they are not needed. Just give the rules and lets play ball. Just my thoughts.
Do a good turn daily!
Don

I think the only suggestion last time was that you try something you hadn't tried before.
another thing is that nobody should feel nervous about not being able to live up to someones standards.
most if not all recipients treat the pen(s) they get as a great addition to their collection.
( at least I think Don did.:-) )

just my 2 cents.

No, no, no, Angela make more Lola clones. After all <s>Blaize</s> is only the 'little' sister and size does matter.[:I][:o)]
