And the winners are....!

I promised a golf putter to the winner of a drawing of those who read my blog, on an earlier post. It was not a bribe, of course (that's a lie...it WAS a bribe!...and an experiment!). It was just a little fun, and, as promised, here are the winners...

There was just going to be ONE winner, but all the excitement of Christmas and the upcoming New Year got to me, and I had to do a little more than I promised!

The winners are, in no particular order: Matt Gayle, Devy Blackwelder, Melody Byrd, and Joni Arter. Sorry, Gena, your name didn't win my little lottery, but since you're my favorite daughter, you get one anyway, as does Jeff, my favorite son! People who responded more than once got their names entered more than once and had a better chance of winning. I heard more than once from Matt, Joni and Devy. Congratulations, and thanks for 'checking in' and reading my blog. This blogging thing is a lot of fun, and I'm so grateful for Gena's having gotten me into it back in July! I haven't had this much fun since the hogs ate my little sister!!!!

Here's what I need from the winners: (1). Your preference of a printed name (upper and lower case is necessary if your name is long, like Frederick Schlegelmilch, or something like that). The space I have to work with is 3/4" tall and 2 1/4" long. (2). You could send me a signature, done with a clean, fine line (not a felt-tip pen), in black ink. You would need to send it to me at CustomPutt, Inc., 3126 S. Boulevard, Ste. 258, Edmond, OK 73013. Or, you could write it out, enlarge it, and then scan it and email it to me at gshoemake@cox.net. My cell phone number is (405)-229-9649. You may want to call and make sure I have received it. (3). All putters are right-handed only. The total club length is a standard 35" from top of the grip to where the putter rests on the ground. If you are ordering this club for a short person, consider whether the club needs to be made a little shorter than 35". If you are ordering for a really tall person, consider if you would like the total club length to be a little longer, say 36 or 37". (4). If you live in OKC, you can come pick up the club when I have it ready, sometime shortly after the holidays. If you live away from OKC and can't come by for it, give me your UPS shipping address and I will send it to you.

Each club comes with a genuine, soft leather putter cover, made for my putter, with a velcro strap and black, acrylic fur interior, to protect the personalized area.

I'm working on my web site, and now that we're up and running again with our golf club business, and have all our supplies, phone number, fax line, and everything else it takes to get off the ground, we'll be doing this again next fall, and will have the contest a little earlier so the putters that we give away can be ready for delivery/shipment well before Christmas. By then we may revive some of the other custom-personalized gift items we offered previously (back before we could no longer get our components manufactured in the U.S.)--- French leaded crystal items, gold-plated desk items, and some brand new gift items -- all unique! Nothing like them anywhere else in Edmond, OK, or the rest of the known universe! Stay tuned! I'll stay in touch, so you be sure to stay in touch also!

Thanks for all of your nice comments since last July when I started blogging. I'm getting acquainted with so many sweet, wonderful people! ...many of whom I never knew before! I love reading all of your blogs, and looking over your shoulders into the lives of you and your families. This is great fun!

Merry Christmas! May God continue to bless all our lives and keep us faithful to Him!
