Hello friends. Yes we did go away on a fabulous trip. Some of your photos were very close to what we did while in the South Pacific. I will share the photos as I put them into order and select the best to share. Once those are up I will begin to post the IN PROGRESS photos of the Sacramento Crawl mug from stage one until they are all finished and boxed. Hopefully they will all be done before Tiki Oasis which is my goal. I also will do a project for their art show.

I am so delighted with all of these messages and photos that I have copied them into my Photoshopped saved file. I've done that before starting to catch up on all the bills and other chores. Priorities that are joyful come first. You are all dear friends.

Thank you to...

lunavideogames, Polynesian Paddie told me about the mug coming to your gathering. I really do look forward to the photos.

TikiAno we love your photos.

hang10tiki I never see a sea turtle without thinking of you.

bamalamalu I was so happy that the octopus mug was doable. I had to use all my brain cells to get it done. Thank you.

LoriLovesTiki I am looking forward to having IDoVooDoo come pick up his Offering and Space Ship Hula Girl. I'll take lots of photos.

hang10tiki Yes LoriLovesTiki yard photos!!!

IDoVoodoo make sure it's the one with the kidney stone. They make jewelry out of those so you'll get more money for me. When are you coming?

hang10tiki Thank you so much. I tried to get photoshopped pictures that you, TikiAno and Lunavideogames did but they wanted to stick to just my art. Bummer you guys just rock our world with all the fun photos. They did leave your name in there even though they left out the pictures. We were thrilled with the article but I did miss having a photo of my right hand man Dan in there. He got cut too!

LoriLovesTiki thank you so much. I took the magazine on our trip and MADE a few tourists look at it. I think they thought I was a bit nuts. Coconuts for sure.

TikiAno we did find tikis but not in our price range. It's better to find them on the mainland.

Tyber Tiki I love these photos. Thank you so very much. I do make my mugs overly thick. A chip can be repaired but a hairline is forever. I want these to be around after Dan and I have left the planet.

Holler Waller it's so cool to see the two styles together. One girl is happy and one is NOT!

You guys just rock. My thread got 75,000 views while you were posting. You kept the fun going. I almost didn't post until this month was over because I wanted to see what you had us doing next. So I guess I'll have to plan another break soon just so you can share some more of your creativity. THANK YOU ALL.

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

Let's do a contest. I will ship a Hana Hou (Hawaiian Airlines) magazine with the article on Tiki Art Shark to the winner.

We were lucky to have this to read on our way home.

So how many photos did I take of our vacation that lasted 22 days and was in the South Pacific? You have until Midnight tonight to respond because tomorrow I will start posting photos of our adventour.

Cheers, Wendy
