Big Two-Year Blogiversary Giveaway!!!

November 29th marked the two year anniversary of my first blog post on The Pen Addict, and to celebrate that milestone I wanted to have one of my best giveaways ever.  JetPens.com has been a huge part of this blog since its early days, and thanks to them, I am able to give away these great prizes to three lucky readers.

(1) Grand Prize Winner will take home a Zebra Sharbo X multi pen.  You can choose your barrel type from any of the ST3, LT3, or F-Line Lady body components, plus you will be able to select two ink cartridges and one pencil cartridge.

(2) First Prize winners will each take home a $25 JetPens gift certificate.

These are some great prizes, so I am going to require a little more than the standard leave a comment rules.  Here is what you need to do:

1. Come up with a wish list of items from JetPens.com with a total value in the $25-30 range.  Post your wish list in the comments section (links not required), and the reason why you chose what you did, as well as what you plan on using the items for.

2. The comments section will be open for entries from now until Sunday, December 6th at 11:59 EST.  At that time, I will select my three favorite comments, choosing one entry for the Grand Prize, and two entries for the First Prize.

3. The winners will be posted no later than Tuesday, December 8th.  Each of the winners will have one week to get in touch with me to claim their prize.

Pretty simple, right?  Now get going!  Feel free to email me directly with any questions.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Quick programming note:  Posting will be relatively light over the next several days during the Thanksgiving holiday.  I hope to get a Ink Links post up for the weekend, but other than that, it will be the early part of next week before any new reviews are posted.

Have a great Thanksgiving!
