Congratulations to the winners! As you see from above, I still need mailing addresses from 5 of you. Packages will probably go out to the U.S. winners first, simply because I can stuff them into a mailbox at any time. I do need to pick up some more bubble wrap and envelopes, so I can’t send them all out right away, but they will go out sometime within the coming week.
If you didn’t win, don’t give up hope. For the 7 of you who entered, but did not win, you get a second chance. Because I drew for the scissors in decreasing order based on the number of votes for each one, there are still 4 pairs up for grabs. Pair D, which is metallic red, silver and blue; two pairs of H, which are the lovely and lively orange and yellow pairs; and one pair of I, which is the creamy pink pair.
So… Angela, Barbara, Cathy (in PA), Cathy MK, Myrna, Rafaella and Stitch, listen up. You have until Sunday to comment on this post or email me with your entries for the remaining pairs of scissors. That’s 4 pairs in total and you can enter for any combination of them. Just comment or send me an email with which ones you would like to enter for. I will pull names again Sunday evening, so please get your entries in by Sunday morning (Eastern time; GMT -5 hrs).
And, just for the record, the choosing was done by a completely impartial party – a friend at work was kind enough to draw names for me. I tried to be as fair as possible, working from the most popular pairs downwards. I will have Terry draw them on Sunday.
So, to recap: 5 of you need to send your mailing address ASAP to jenna at magees dot net; and 7 of you need to respond to me with your picks from the remaining scissors by Sunday.
Congratulations to the winners and good luck to those in the running for the final pairs! I hope that you had fun! 🙂
I won, I won! *jumps up and down*
Do I need to give a speech now? 😉
“First of all I’d like to thank Jenna for her overwhelming kindness, secondly I’d like to thank Jenna for her overwhelming kindness and thirdly I’d like to thank Jenna for her overwhelming kindness. *bows to audience and leaves the stage* “
Yeah!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can not wait to get them!! I will be patient though!! lol! Thank you Jenna for being such a kind and generous person!!!
Jump high till i hit the ceiling…nah…can’t do that as too short. I am so happy…smiling from ear to ear. Thank you… Thank you… Thank you…Thank you…Thank you.
Squeee! Hooray, scissors 🙂 Thanks Jenna, you’ve made my day… and what Outi said about the overwhelming kindness, too!
I didn’t go into the draw, but I have to echo the above sentiments … you’re a very generous kind soul to organise this – you have made some lovely ladies very happy! 😀
I’ll get some pretty scissors! *Jumping up and down* Thank you for being so generous and kind! Thank you!
This was a wonderfully kind & generous way to make a lot of people happy (I’m thinking now of your previous post about work and being unable to make everyone happy all the time).
Me thinks”H” (please, please) or “I” would do very nicely.
This is so much fun Jenna, thank you.
And a huge congrats to all the winners.…… 🙂

I just wrote I was about sending also an email, then I realized there is no mail box here, so I just hope you keep on reading the comments! :-))
Thank you so much Jenna. What a generous and kind thing to do for everyone.
Thanks jenna! What fun. Enjoy CATS, too.
Yay! yay! (bouncy)
Thank you so much – both for the incredibly generous and wonderful thought but also for taking the trouble and shipping them. You are an absolute wonderful person!
I’m so sorry I don’t get to meet you at CATS, but hopefully I’ll get to meet you someday soon!
Thank you so much Jenna. I am really excited!! Now I can’t wait to touch them!! Thank you , thank you! (I have been out of touch due to another telephone cable theft).
