The Cougar is their mascot and the first thing I ever did for T-Mobile.

An outdoor area with deer and a stream, its a long wall with lots more,just don't have pictures.

They even have a jail, I also did a Out house but don't have pictures of that either.

I'm so bad about bringing a camera with me!

The wait is over, Snowbear is here!!!!A while back I was lucky enough to win blog candy from Meri at Imagi Meris Creations At that time I got a chance to select an image from Meri. You see she was going to create a custom sculpted art piece for me. I choose a sweet little Snowbear!!!

           

I was so excited to get my package. When I opened the very carefully wrapped package this was the first thing I saw.When our eyes met It was Love at first sight!!!

I had been watching the progress on Meri's blog and seeing how Snowbear was coming along. She was kind enough to do separate tutorials on how to make a sculpture. If you'd like to make your own check out Meri's blog here imagimeris 

Meri is so talented in so many mediums .It was such a treat to meet her and see her beautiful work.

Snowbear is sitting on a bright Red sled and has the most darling evergreen wreath that she had shipped in all the way from Europe!

A darling blue cap sits upon his head. 

See how happy Snowbear is in his new Home!!!!
