Since its an even 4 holdouts, how about just paring them off 2 and 2?
Aloha,
:tiki:

Tiki Royale that is brilliant! You must have been a math major. I vote for pairing off the tardy check-ins and proceeding with the festivities.

DC

I hope this starts soon as the Post Office is already getting busy...

Aloha,

I just wanted to let everyone know that you all have been matched and have your secret trader's address in your TC mailboxes.

Thanks again for everyone who wanted to trade. We've had a great time the last two swaps and I love to see what everyone gets.

Just remember..

1. Ship as soon as possible
2. When you ship your mug, PM me so I can check you off.
3. When you receive your mug, let your trader know.
4. Post some pictures when they arrive (if you want)
5. Just have FUN!

As before, I will keep you posted as to who's packages have shipped.

So, The Holiday Tiki Mug Trade-Off 2008 has begun!

Happy Holidays!!

Special thanks to Bongo Bungalow. I especially liked the extra effort you put in the packaging. I think I am going to frame it and put it up in the bar. This has really been a lot of fun.

Got mine today!!!!!!! Catmomma hooked me up!!!!! :drink:

Been trying to get a Fu Manchu for quite a while. The swizzles are great. Haven't had any luck finding any good ones locally. The glass elephant survived the trip. Thanks so much!!!!!!

(and I'm reusing the packing material to send mine out tomorrow!!! :lol: )

When's the next major gift giving holiday????? :lol:

glad to hear everything arrived in good shape. I was worried about the little elephant's trunk! :)

I saw GO TIKI's post & it looked exactly the same as what I received. Then I saw it was from Closettiki & that's who I got mine from as well, so that explained why. Thanks so much!!! Here it is:

Well, :o I came home today to a very nice package. :D But when I opened it the first thing I picked out was all shattered. But the rest of the contents was in great shape. :D :D So I can say now that I have a piece of art by Matt Reese.

Thanks Matt and Happy Holidays to everyone.

I'll send you out another of the one that shattered. You New Yorkers need your fixes from out west. Sorry about that.

I got excellent loot from Coco Joe including a Tiki Ti coconut drink bowl and match book! Man, I have to go there next time I'm in LA. Mahalo Joe and Happy Holidays to all!

I got a great big box of tiki goodness from MauiTiki yesterday!

I really love the Trader Vics ceramic mug. I have never seen that before and it made me laugh as I spun it around to see what all those dirty little islanders are doing on there, lol. Awesome!

The mugs swaps truly ROCK. I enjoy it so much every time.
Thank you MauiTiki for the great surprises.

Man oh man! I must have been a good boy this year! 8ft grew my name again! LOL

I've been looking for another Al Harrington (Harrington being my last name and all).
Thanks alot! Hope to get you again! LOL

Sent a package on a loooonnnggggg journey today. I hope it arrives in time for Christmas!

The mister and I were on vacation last week and came home to an awesomely wrapped package of goodies from LeLeLiz.

Thanx for all the goodies.
