WE WON! Who wants to go to Fiji? :)

[LitGeek]

Or a PP x Hunter collab?

Ooh yes please!

I haven't totally sorted it out yet, but I am leaning toward just putting everybody onto a numbered list in the order of this thread. I haven't counted yet, but I am guessing we are going to have somewhere between 40-50 people. Then we can just put 1-50 into the hat, pull a number and find the corresponding name on the list. I am going to have Amir from our operations team pull the number since Blaire's name is going to be on that list.

It would be really fun to do it live, but we might just film it all with a cell phone since almost everyone will be off on Monday after Christmas, including Katja (our photographer).

Btw, there will also be a pretty cool announcement at the same time. This whole CPAA raffle gave me an idea this week that I think people here are going to love!!!

This is going to be fun!

Christmas keeps getting better and better.

This is really exciting!

Hope for the winner that his or her visit does not coincident with Joerg Gellner visiting Fiji, because she/he will go home without any Justin Hunter pearls

 

[Purranha]

a field trip to Fiji for all interested Pearl enthusiasts?

I like this suggestion! IN!!!

 

[jshepherd]

Okay, so I also have a question ... also mentioned by someone else ... would it be possible for the winner to pay for extra guests to go along?

Hi Cathy,

I am sure that would be fine. I can't see why not.

Is your name in the hat???

 

[CathyKeshi]

Hi Jeremy ... Thanks and YES I HOPE Please see First Page of this thread, post #12, second paragraph: Agreed to all conditions and please put my name in that hat !

With huge hugs and thanks to Jeremy and Hisano!

 

[jshepherd]

Ah! Yes, I saw that! I almost put you on the list twice

Someone suggested we use real names, so we are going to print, cut, put in the hat and shake, and then Amir is going to pull out a name with his eyes closed for the big reveal!

So far we are at 43 entries! If I am missing someone please, please let me know.

 

[Pearl Dreams]

Jeremy, I see Mayopup on that list twice...

 

[jshepherd]

Thank you! One is deleted from the main list.

42 entries!

 

[Purranha]

Red is in twice, and pkinnew is listed as pinkinnew (though we all know who's who so it's ok)

 

[Purranha]

I feel bad for picking out the double entries - sorry Red!
Members here have sharp eyes!

 

[jshepherd]

Ha! Now we have 41 entries! Odds are getting better

 

[Red]

I feel bad for picking out the double entries - sorry Red!
Members here have sharp eyes!

As long as I'm still in once.

 

[CathyKeshi]

Once is fine; I'm so glad to be in the hat at all! AND we have Jeremy's mysterious announcement to look forward to as well!!!

 

[JerseyPearl]

Just out of curiosity, how long before the "drawing" can folks drop their name into the hat?

 

[Frost Me]

I would love to join in and I promise to obey all the rules! Please place me on the list! Hope I am not too late!

 

[jshepherd]

Just out of curiosity, how long before the "drawing" can folks drop their name into the hat?

We are doing it on Monday, so I'd say Sunday!

Got you on the list, Frost Me!

 

[Cees]
