Happy holidays, TMP! We have a fun giveaway for you to enter brought to you by aspenglass!
Jim has been a member here for many years and we all love his Ti-pens.
I have a Ti-pen in my purse made by Jim that I’ve had for over 10 years! You can check out more about Jim and his pens at www.thetipen.com.
Jim has made a generous donation to our community of 13 Ti-pens, one for every year we’ve been gathering to talk about glass. Not only that, but for every pen he’s donating he’s also donating $10! What a guy. Give it up for Jim!! 
We've designed this game so glassblowers are the ones entering as you are the ones who will use the pens. Here is how to enter!
To win one of the lucky 13 Ti-pens:
- Take a photo of your torch with a holiday greeting written next to it. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa - whatever floats your boat!
- Post your photo in this thread.
- All the entries will be given a number and randomized to pick 13 winners.
- Entries must be in no later than midnight on Monday the 16th.
- 13 winners will be chosen and announced on Tuesday the 17th.
Thank you, Jim, for the awesome game and support of TMP! You rock!!
