That's where the PITH Mistress gets to overwrite the random drawing a little bit and re-draw for someone! (Oh, the power's starting to go to my head!) Same thing if I get my dad or he gets me. [:D]

OK, I posted an updated list that's who all is signed up as of 7 pm EST. I have to go out and drink some wine for a few people- Travis asked so nicely I have to at least have one for him and do some contributing to the delinquency (don't anyone tell his mom or Fangar). But I'll try to post the matches ASAP!

James, how do end up seeing everything that's important?
 
Officer Fangar... it's really just grape juice!

I really appreciate everyone's thanks and support in doing this. I had fun doing it, even though it does take some time and effort. And I can't wait to see the pens that everyone makes for each other. I can't quite take a breather yet, since I also signed up for PITH- I wouldn't want to disappoint boomalia. I'll probably have the pen made in a few days, but then it'll sit in my shop unassembled, where I always get hung up, for several weeks... No, I'll try not to do it that way this time... I think the PITH Mistress shouldn't turn out to be a deadbeat, that'd be pretty sad.

Don't know if this link will take you to his member page, but if it doesn't, I found it under members and then doing a search by that member name:

Were you starting to think I was just messing with your head? [:D]

Not having participated in a PITH before, I have a question:

Are there any traditions about posting/not posting pictures before or after sending them off?

In the Last PITH the sender usually waited until the pen was received before posting a picture for all to see. You might want to ask the person you are sending a pen to if they would like a preview because in my case I opted for the preview and the pen was even better than the picture.

So Angela,

Can we count on you running the PITH from now on? I mean if you want to insist on being called the PITH Mistress then you need to keep the office that goes along with the title? [}:)]

I guess I may have to continue... I don't think I can bear to part with the title!
 
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...

Bud Duffy and Blind_Squirrel
 
Send your PITH photos to me and I'll post them. Include the MEMBER NAME of the maker and the recipient and a brief description of the pen if you like.

Please have your photo cropped to no more than 600 px in the largest dimension and no more than 250K file size.

Once I get a few photos uploaded, I'll post the link to the album.
 
BUTCHER...calling BUTCHER...come in BUTCHER. Lynn and I are having problems getting in tought with you buddie. She needs your address to send you a pen and I need to send you my address. I tried using the email link but perhaps your address is out of date in your profile?
 
More photo info...

Please submit only one photo. Nicely cropped & properly sized is MUCH apreciated.

I've had a couple of special requests... both identical actually, to post a photo but not reveal the maker and recipient until after the swap is done. Folks, I try to devote as much of my time as possible to the site, but there are limits. I don't really have the time to go back and edit what would be a couple hundred photo descriptions, so please submit your photos when you are ready for me to post the maker and recipient info.

THANKS! I appreciate your understanding.
 
I would recommend that anyone who is not getting a response from the person is supposed to make them a pen post it here. Maybe the pens for those people should be held until there is a positive response from them.
 
No response from Johnathan as of yet, I guess he's on the road making music, If anyone knows his address e-mail it to me. Thanks
 
Been contacted by Johnathan and everythings good, he's just been very busy, now it's time for me to get to turning. Thanks Peter and BTW I recived your package today
