I certainly am, just came in from the shed to cool down a bit (34C here today).

I have my pen almost turned, bit more finessing and then finishing and off it goes.

Bruce, I was involved in a pen swap with a Canadian partner, who sent his parcel sea mail. It has yet to arrive. To his credit he sent another one airmail, so in the end it cost him more than double, so perhaps airmail isn't so expensive after all, it would also save a lot of stress.

I must admit mail to and from Canada is a lot more expensive than to and from the US, it is also considerably slower. As I have a Canadian partner, I am getting in early this time

Larry,

Thanks for doing this (and for reminding me to sign up!)

I don't know which emotion is strongest: The delight of expecting a pen from Steven (SkipRat) or the pressure of making one for him!!!!

This is the correct link to post piccies (as you refer to them) of the pens being swapped. Have a great time sawdust partners.

My package is ready to go for NewLondon88 - hope he enjoys its! Off to the post office tomorrow to send it on it's way.

Cool! Yours went out two days ago. It would have been three days ago, but when I
went to the post office and they weighed the package, I choked.

So I split it up into two boxes.

Epimenio's pen and goodies are on their way, just got back from the post office.

Christmas in March whooo hoo!!!!

I have not been able to post due to no internet.

My pens went to Kenny on the 15th February, so far have not heard if they have arrived.

My package for salty72 headed out a few days ago.
