It feels like it's time for another mug swap and since SandraDee said the last one was her last one, I thought I'd throw the idea out there. Theoretically names would be swapped by October 15th with packages to ship by October 31st. IF enough people are interested I'll post the standard rules and get it started. *It looks like enough people are interested so let's get started! Here we go kids, back by popular demand we are swapping again! Please submit names by October 15. You will receive your trader's name by October 20 You need to send your swap NO LATER THAN October 30 The timeframe is tight, but I hope that works in my favor sinced it's my first! "THE RULES, AS BEFORE (thanks SandraDee): IF YOU HAVE NEVER SWAPPED BEFORE : Please pm me your address You need at least 10 posts on this forum to swap. If we don't even know who you are than how is anyone going to send anything to you? Take some time to join in the discussions and swap next time if you are that new of a member IF YOU HAVE SWAPPED BEFORE: Please do NOT pm me your address unless you have moved in the past few months (I will be getting all info from SandraDee) General Rules: Swaps are secret so once you get a name you do not tell everyone who you got Never post on here that you have sent your box--if everyone follows this rule I can update the thread with who can expect packages on a daily basis--if you post you sent then it may not be that big of a surprise Enter as many times as you like Send what you would like to get. As in no broken/damaged items or Harvey's bucket mugs.

With it being my first swap to organize I thought that might be a plus. I'd only have to wrangle a dozen or two, and see if I'd want to continue with it :wink:

BB Bongo Bungalow Member Indiana Joined: Aug 20, 2007 Posts: 1295	BB Bongo Bungalow Posted posted on Tue, Oct 9, 2012 2:33 AM Don't know that I've missed a swap, so count me in! Also don't know why anyone would think more time would make it less work- close it on the 15th and we'll mail 'em before our Day of the Dead parties! This note to new swappers is usually added: This is a tiki mug swap. You send one tiki mug; you receive one tiki mug. You are not required to send more than one mug, you are not required to include other related tiki/bar/retro related items, but many do just to add to the fun.

I've corrected that now. I also changed the title and have updated the list of swappers to this point! SandraDee and Dusty Cajaun you've both commented but haven't thrown your hats in the ring, are you in? (c'mon, say "yes") And thanks SD I got the spreadsheet!

I thought the same thing, even though the terra cotta warriors are Chinese, when I saw a shelf of the Benihana mugs at a local Japanese supermarket.
