nice find ! :D

[Undrallio]

Wow, my mother will love this one! Awesome find!

[shaynon]

This will be great if we do get these!! Abby will love these along with your mom Undrallio! :D

[pbchicknz]

Aww, Shaynon & Undrallio, you all are so sweet to think of gifts for your mom & Abby. I was being selfish, they sound nice for me, lol. :D I hope they come. Since they're from the main company, a real company too, than it's promising. But then again the Sculpey clay never came, and it was from a real company too. I'm still disappointed about that one.

[Goob]

You selfish punk, pb! :P I signed my little sis up for these as well. In fact, I'm going to post this on the front page of HIF now!

[Kristie]

Aww, Goob! I think you just called me selfish! :D Should I hang my head in shame because I sent away for them for myself? I could be a good grandma and say they are for my darling 9 qne 12 year old granddaughters but they would be lethal in their hands. OH! I know! I sent away for them for my 28 yr. old son! Yeah! That's it! Whew! I thought I was selfish there for a minute.

LoL

[shaynon]

no one is selfish lol :laughup: because you all know the minute abby gets these, i like the good sister i am, will take them and play with them!! :P

I know what your saying about them coming from a real company PB. Lets cross our fingers they come! If they don't i'm going to have a very unhappy 8 year old who is probablly gonna go off on me about it!! :wacko:

[shaynon]

by the way....we are all allowed to be selfish! I said lol. Freebies make ppl do bad things sometimes! :laughup: ;)

Dang! I just tried the link again and got the 404 error. Is anyone else getting that? Did it die ALREADY???

Was it something I said? :P <whispering> Maybe they read my last post!

[pbchicknz]

LOL, I'm sorry that I caused a ruckus with this one, hee hee. Yup, I'm selfish, very selfish sometimes. But sometimes it's ok to be just a little. I know the truth, "sister" and "mom" are code for yourselves too ;) ha ha. I've got a sis that I've had to share things with forever, so I will probably end up sharing too, but... :whining: I dont wanna!! :crybaby:
Oh, and Shaynon, when you 'borrow' them from Abby, tell her that you are being a responsible and caring big sister by "testing them" to make sure they work properly, lol!



BTW I :wub: artsy crafty freebies. So companies out there that are secretly lurking :ninja: to see what our customer feedback is, here us now, we've all got 'family' that likes kewl crafty stuff. Get on that riight away. :emot-dance:

[Undrallio]

Well dang...this one died. I couldn't find any info about the offer on the main site, if someone does I'll move it back outta the graveyard.

[Kristie]

Not to worry here. It takes A LOT to offend me. I'm good pickins'. :D I always worry about hurting someone's feelings with my sense of humor.

Not offend here at all.

Yep! This one went fast! I could not believe it when I checked back here later and saw it was gone! Poof! I came on here pronto and posted that I couldn't get the site up anymore.

I'm glad some of you got some use out of it! Goes to show you......click fast! :P I feel bad for those that didn't get there quick enough! :(

[shaynon]

huGs to u all!! :wub:

[pbchicknz]

There is a note about this one over on the front page, comments section. Attaching it here too just in case.
Looks like the offer is null. Shame on Pentel, not only for backing out of a promise, and false advertising, but also for getting our hopes up. Cheapskates. :thumbdown: I will boycott, and only buy stuff from their competitors. :ranting: Not even a simple little pencil will be bought with their name on it. Take that Pentel! :grr:
Okay, off my venting soapbox now.. lol

Quick edit: BTW the HIF community is so magnificent here, that that's the first time I've ever had to look up the angry smilies. Glad to have a use for them.

[pbchicknz]

exactly undra, and while someone's at it, take the insert inside, and mail it next-day air to a fellow favorite Hiffer! :rolleyes: Hurry, offer ends on the 30th. Pentel, what a crock of &*$#. lol Who would even order that mag ? Dentists? schools?? Ive never heard of it.. ever.

[Kristie]

They suck!!! Has anyone heard of this happening before? I know I've gone to sites where they've posted something to the effect of due to free web site...yada, yada, yada, but this!! Shouldn't they have had something on the page where our info was typed in at? I sure don't remember seeing anything like that.

Well, they're off my Christmas list! :angry: That's some back peddling!

Rookies! They should have known we are out here! :D

[Kristie]

Is there any way we can digitally T.P. their web site? :P

[Goob]

Yeah, unfortunately, this happens from time to time. I had Xerox contact me last week asking to take an offer down and then this happened this week. It's a pain, no doubt, but I guess they have a right time limit who gets the freebies and who doesn't.

That doesn't mean I have to like their decision though! :)
