First PIF for September :)

[Sadiq]

This is my first PIF on FPGeeks as well...myself & my wife are offering two PIF's.
PIF is open to everyone interested, newbies & seasoned collectors alike - even those wanting to gift another person...everyone's welcome!
I'll cover standard mail worldwide (if the winners would like anything faster, it's for their cost)
Please reply to this thread saying why you'd like either one of these PIF's or both.

Winners will be chosen per item on 19 September 2014, my wife's birthday.
Winners will be randomly chosen with my wife drawing a name out of a hat :) she's old school like that...

1. Dip Pen
Our first item is suited to someone who'd like to try a dip pen & nibs, but haven't thought of or gotten down to purchasing one .
The nibs attached vary from slightly flexible to stiff, also included are 2 italic calligraphy nibs.
(see pics below)

Pen & nibs:

[Crazyorange]

Thank you so much. Very generous PIF. Please enter me. :)

[RayCornett]

I would love to enter both if permitted. Great pif!

[obiwan]

Please enter me for #2 - always up for trying some ink. Thanks for the generous offer and Happy (impending) Birthday!

[Sadiq]

RayC - everyone's welcome to enter :)

obiwan - thanx! The ink I find especially magical is the Yellow...the colour is light so it's almost as if the words show a few seconds after, as the ink dries.

[rdcalhoon]

I'd like to enter both PIFs. I've been thinking about trying a dip pen. I have been getting into pairing inks, and need way to look at inks that doesn't require filling and washing pens. I have tried a number of Diamine inks, but none of the samples you offer. The inks are all interesting, but I think the Delamere Green is the one I am drawn to the most.

[Al_S]

Nice PIFs. I'd love to try out the dip pen, so please enter me in that one. Thanks!

[Sadiq]

2 more weeks to go :)

No restrictions...even if anyone would like to gift one of these to a newbie, you're welcome to enter.

[writingrav]

I would like to enter both. I think you need the first to appreciate the second!

[tinysnail]

I'd like to enter the first! Never tried a dip pen so this could be real fun :)

[Sadiq]

One more week till the draw :)

[jadehawk]

[Sadiq]

Kurt S's addres received & item posted.

Still waiting on obiwan's address...don't even have an answer to a PM I sent?

[Sadiq]

It's been 5 days so far & still no word from obiwan.

What would be a fair amount of time till a redraw is in order?

[Silverbreeze]

I would think 14 would be more than fair

A full seven days would be agreeable to everyone I think

I just like giving more time

[Sadiq]

The reason I asked was that I've seen a previous PIF that had a redraw in a few days after not being claimed.

Would 10days be reasonable?

[Silverbreeze]

I believe that would be fair

[Sadiq]

Ok then :)...if I don't get a response by Monday 29.09.14 at 3:30pm - we'll have us a redraw.

obiwan, you have 5 more days to claim you ink samples.

Sorry to all for the drama. I was thinking that private messages were transferred to an email account that I check regularly, but was mistaken. I've gone in and changed the setting so this will happen (I think).

No drama, just wondering if you were MIA :) I got your PM, will post latest by Monday.
