We were gonna give some prizes for farthest traveled card,
funny, pretty, weird etc... and some former King of Heap prizes.

Instead, this year every entry wins. Porta-Billy's for all entries.

Might take a bit to get to them all, but if you entered, you won !!!

Thanks to all who entered, look for our annual Holiday and 4-20 Contests.

 

[collegerower]

Wow! I am so excited to get something just for entering! Thanks so much

 

[RichRas]

Thanks for the contest Tom and Pammy! I had fun watching, I'm bummed that you didn't get my entry in time (sent onthe 14th I think), I'll have to send it in extra early next time! I t least have my trusty black walnut to get me through it...

 

[jeffp]

congratulations to the grand prize winner - the necklace looks very awesome and i believe
i won that! figured a pie recipe post card was out of left field enough for you guys.
thanks pam and tom for the fun contest.

 

[Purple-Days]

Congrats, Jeff, hope you can find someone special to give this to. It's a beautiful item.

The second prize winner was a just random drawing out of a pillowcase.

Key Lime is one of my favorites.

Sorry, to hear that RichRas. Pammy says post cards travel slow... I try to give early warning for that reason. And these machine address readers seem to be a bit of a waste of taxpayer money...

 

[kraken]

Awesome! this was such a cool contest!

 

[RichRas]

All good Tom, I really did enjoy it! You guys are the best.

 

[Pappy]

Great contest Tom & Pam... Congrats to winners!

 

[thedeserttortoise]

Congratulations to all.... what a great assortment of cool cards.

 

[AgentofChaos]

Thanks to both of you! Fun contest and congrats to the winner!

 

[Lo]

Congrats to the winners!! Lovely postcards too!

Great contest

 

[oldfart]

That sure was alot of screws. I think my guess was 466 only off by a thousand. Cool contest Tom and Pammy

 

[hereatlast]

Congrats to the winners.

Awesome contest Tom and Pammy, very cool result

 

[Nycdeisel]

very cool that you guys do these things, congratulations to ALL!
Now I feel bad that I didnt enter

 

[Purple-Days]

Oops, our internal postal person mis-placed 3 post cards. They were here before the deadline and will get the Porta-Billy stash boxes like all the others. Fortunately for me none were better guesses or I woulda been on the hook for two Grand Prizes. 379, 463 and 1050. I'll post pics of the cards later.

 

[collegerower]

I think one of those was mine! I was pretty vaked when I filled out the form so I dont quite remember....


I hope mine made it at least...

 

[Purple-Days]

CollegeRower, Our contest format is: you know your own number (and can't tell ),
and know your picture card , we don't tell who enters, or wins.
If any choose to, that's up to them.

This goes back to the first contest, I thought about privacy and how to have fun at the same time.

And nobody has to admit they were way, way . . . off , or be made fun of. .

I like the format and will stick with it. Every 4-20 and Holiday Season.

Happy 2011, the year the Jetson's was set in...

 

[collegerower]

Tom,

I completely understand your format, and I think its pretty darn perfect. You guys seem to think about things before you do them and I thank you for that.

I will keep my eye on the mail, and cross my fingers.

 

[hereatlast]

Haha great contest again, can't wait to take a look at the Porta-Billy's!


Oh no, we certainly haven't lived up to Jetson expectations.

 

[Flyer]

great job, great cards, awesome PD folks. happy new year. congrats to the winners.

 

[clayton]

Congratulations to the winner

I can't believe how off i was lol

 

[Biggkatt714]

Thanks for awesome contest Tom and Pammy!

 

[Purple-Days]

Hey all, thanks for the responses, The Purple-Days Team enjoys the fun. And giving something back at the holiday.

I hadn't planned on giving Porta-Billys to all, or I would have tried to find time to make them ahead. It was a last minute thing, so I appreciate everyone's patience, as I have tried to find time to work them into the schedule.

The Post Office is closed Monday, so after today's postal cutoff seemed a good time to start a side project.

Mostly Alder (some nice, some a little plain) with some Black Walnut ( I think a couple are figured) and a few Figured Maple to the rear.

More pics to come as they move along.
