"Clean-The-Prize-Shelf" sounds polite, but we'll call it what it is:
The Losers Drawing!
I promised that after we had awarded all the contest prizes and took stock of what was left, that we'd have another drawing for everyone who came up empty handed in the Donation Drawing.
We end up with spare prizes for a variety of reasons - winners decline them, or they arrive too late to be assigned to a contest, or the vendor sent extras which were not anticipated. Regardless of why they're "spares" we're thrilled to have them and grateful to the donators because we get to have a little after-party party and poke fun at the losers! I'll remove the 42 winners from the first drawing and run another draw at random.org. The post below this one will contain the official list of prizes and results.
To save me some time, I'm going to do this in no-frills mode. I'm just going to list below what's in the pot, and do the drawing sometime later today. No photos, no estimated values, no descriptions, no nuttin! (I'm not being lazy, I'm just trying to make this as quick and efficient as possible!) There are also some shipping restrictions, and I'll note those below.
The Prizes!
1. Alumilite 16oz Casting Kit * Water clear kit, same as awarded for some contest prizes
2.-6. Satellite City CA Glue Kit * 5 to award, same as this one
7. Pen Stand, Std. Logo, same as this one
Craig Lapiana sent us a nice selection of kits, but they arrived after prizes had been assigned to contests. So I've bundled them into 4 packages that you'll enjoy making!
8. ChefWareKits.com Pkg A -nutcracker, bottle opener, pepper grinder w/ blank, pen blanks sampler.
9. ChefWareKits.com Pkg B - bottle stopper sampler, pizza cutter, pen blanks sampler
10. ChefWareKits.com Pkg C - wood chisel kit, pizza cutter 2/blank
11. ChefWareKits.com Pkg D - bottle stopper sampler, pizza cutter w/blank
12., 13. Pen World 1 year subscription - not a leftover, just sweetening the losers pot!
14., 15. Pen Collectors of America 1 year membership - another pot sweetener (nice quarterly magazine!)
16. Box of Assorted Blanks from [profile]edohmann[/profile] - lots of nice Texas woods
17. Box of Assorted Blanks from [profile]SteveG[/profile] - a nice variety pack
18. Box of Cedar Blanks from [profile]SDB777[/profile] - crosscut and straight grained
19. Box of (Your Choice) Blanks from [profile]jeff[/profile] - acrylic, wood, or a mix, your choice from my personal stash
20., 21. Hat & Goodie Box - In 2006 I had two prototype hats made. Those designs were never produced, so these are each one-of-a-kind. I'll also put in the box a thumb square, IAP pen light, IAP car magnets, and an IAP patch.
22. Easy Wood Tools Easy Pen Pro - Provided by Easy Wood Tools, but this is a CSUSA Exclusive
* NOTE: Due to shipping restrictions on this item, winners outside the continental US will instead receive a $25 gift certificate to any IAP Vendor
