hang10tiki tell Janelle aka SewTiki it's about time she joined in. Welcome SewTiki.
Gosh it's been 10 years or more since I found the hobbiest mugs on EBay.

POCKETIKI yippy I'm so happy. Dan will really enjoy the mug. Since I did such a good write up can I get a job writing for Pocketiki. You know we are waiting for the next issue to appear. I've copied you instructions and I'm sending you hugs and kisses back. We look forward to your return to TC. OH! you are already back by posting here. Good.

TikiHula I'm relieved that the painting is turning out. When I started I was shocked I hadn't noticed how many colors there were in the picture. I'm almost done, see below. Call when you can.

RVICTOR (: your brain my hands.

RVICTOR is that the Tiki Bob with the pin head and skewed eyes? Nope I haven't done one like that. I would need your ideas.

LoriLovesTiki Dan and I are not computer savvy. That gives me nightmares of being back in school.

I made the second one just in case you wanted a way to have them stand closer to each other. It's funny that you are a right and left handed couple. Your drawing and instructions are perfect and you've made it all easier for me to do. Time to work.

====================================================

It's Christmas time. This year I sent Dan out to shop.

First I caught him gazing at palm trees hoping his present will be a trip to Hawaii.

When he finally started to shop he got this cart and said when it's full I'm done!

==================================================

I tried to finish the MadDogMike Swap painting today but I didn't get it done. Close though.

I drew in the next part.

I started with the foliage.

Painted the torch and plants.

Hopefully I will finish the Tiki and Touchups tomorrow.

================================================

Last Sunday I took Dan and a tiki roadtrip. We started first with brunch at Claim Jumpers. The food is outstanding. For an additional $2.99 you get all the drinks including refils that you want. Champagne too! That's the only alcohol I like so I have a glass and it's fun.

We next went next door to the Antique Trove, Roseville. I told Dan I knew the best booth in the 25,000 sq. foot store. We went right there and found not only tikis for him a Kouroc tray for me!

Time to check out.

Then it was on to Midway Antiques where Dan found this tiki.

Bach home Dan put the little tikis on this top shelf and

was so happy to find he had one other royal drum playing minahunie to make a set of three with his "finds".

============================================

Thank you for the visit. Cheers, Wendy
