Pikey's Dog yours went out Saturday.

Hopefully Sandy won't mess up deliveries too badly. Be careful East Coasters!

To the person who receives my mug swap:
I forgot the hang tags that go along with two of the items. They were both hand made by me for the swap. Hope you like them!

Are Tiki Central members not the most generous people on earth? Look what Dustycajun sent me:
Two mugs I don't have- Trader Sam's and one from Luau Hut. Also included were some cool matchbooks and swizzles. My tiki mug runneth over with joy! Thanks Dusty!

Glad you liked it Ukutiki!
I think it's actually a Sqrewed up Squll, that's why I had to make good with the other stuff
I loved that corkscrew/bottle opener set, but saw that you collect corkscrews, so I'm hoping it'll be more enjoyed by you!

I got mine and it's amazing! The mugs are perfect and the Frankenberry was an "off da hook" addition! I'll add a pic later (as I'm at work right now).
I'm not sure which TC handle sent me this thoughtful and awesome package. All I can say is thanks LJ! This is better than what my wife gets me for Christmakah.

I'm happy you like it, Slacks Ferret. I saw an old thread where you wanted some Frankenberry cereal so I sent you a box. Due to it being on the forbidden list I had to take the rum out of the box, which I was bummed about. I will drink it tonight for you.
It was my first time shipping anything so if nothing broke I'm happy.

I got this awesome headhunter mug and necklace from Hale Tiki along with a couple dozen heavy duty stirrers.
Thanks so much!

Welcome!
I glad you like it.
The enameling took longer than I thought it would.
I've been wanting to do it for awhile, and I always liked the headhunter mug.

I received my swap a little while ago but I haven't been able to get in front of a real computer until now.
My swap was a doozy! I guess it is safe to say that one of my big motivations for joining these swaps is to get the chance to swap with Wendy Cevola. Her and Dan's mugs are my favorite from new mug makers. I was so happy when I saw the return address. Wendy and Dan sent me this wonderful mug with an equally beautiful letter to accompany it. I love it! My 30th B-day is coming up and I plan to bring it out to Denver's only tiki bar: Adrift! Thank you so much Wendy and Dan!
Here is a snap shot before trick or treating last night
And my daughter volunteered to hold it for a close up. Please excuse the fingers in the way. She loves the color.

Hey Gabbahey, I love the photos and I've stolen them for my files. Your daughters fingers are precious. Thank you so much for your kind comments. You made this super fun for us, Wendy
