Mike, I'm not sure how you came and went and we never saw each other! Jeez Louise. Bummed but hope you come back West for a visit.

I was able to see Wendy & Dan, cy, and Jon a bit- well, not enough time with any of them, of course. cy and I swapped pieces on Saturday at his booth at Tiki Oasis. Man, if you haven't had the opportunity to see his work in person, it's truly breathtaking. I love stalking his carving thread but really dig seeing all of the creativity and amazing carving skills in person.

I have yet to finalize the best location for his Art Swap piece in the home bar (Oasis schwag not yet unpacked), so I'll post the photos that Jon graciously took. I'll post a photo of the groovy Frog Island Tikis t-shirt, too!

This greeted a number of visitors to cy's booth:

Here are cy and I posing post-Swap (I'm wearing one of Wendy's Hula Tramp Stamp necklaces):

Jon, thanks for snapping the photos. Mike, thanks for another great Swap, even though you avoided us Swappers at Oasis... :wink: (just kidding)!!
