Closed For Entries - We Have A Winner!
************************************************

It's finally here! What you've all been waiting for!

Little Alchemy the Meerkat is getting ready to go to his final forever home.

Check out the three phases of super goodies that goes home with little Alchemy when he travels to his new home.

Niftyknits was so super kind as to post them but had to do them in three seperate phases as there was so much.

Her first post had an interactive map showing all the places Alchemy visited and showing what happened to little Treasure along the way.

The second post shows where Alchemy bravely steps in and heads out for poor lost Treasure and the goodies he picked up along the way.

And the final post shows Alchemy and the fabulous haul that comes with him.

Alchemy Meerkat Waves Good-Bye

It's the end of our visit with little Alchemy, he's actually almost on his way home to England by now to see his Mom right before the drawing to find his new permanent home. but we thought we would share a few photos from his last day here.

We decided to take a quick trip down the strip so little Alchemy could see some of the sights here in Las Vegas before he leaves.


The beautiful Bellagio fountains.

Paris? Are we in Paris? No?

Are you sure this isn't New York? I see lots of taxis here and there's that green lady!

We stopped sight seeing as Alchemy wanted to learn how to play a little poker.

Off to a really rough start.

*sigh* I'll take four cards please.

Woohoo! Does this mean I win?!

After that fantastic hand Alchemy decided he'd had enough of the fast paced life of Vegas and went out to the garden to smell the flowers.

Can you see me in here?

Ahhh, this is much better.

Alchemy sitting at the airport watching the planes take off and land wondering about his upcoming trip and what adventures lie before him now.

Very excited to see where I'm headed now and wondering if Studio Cherie will make me something wonderful for my next journey.

Look at this great pin I got!

And this little paper mache house too! I think this means I'm going home soon...yay!

And just look at all the great stuff that is coming with me too!

I already miss this little guy and his fun little antics. Keep your eye out here for news of his final leg of his journey and news of a fabulous giveaway soon. You can also keep tabs on him on his Facebook page.

I Did A Bad Thing...Taught A Meerkat How To Gamble

The further adventures of Alchemy the Meerkat on his tour of Vegas before he heads out to StudioCherie in Spokane Washington before his final leg before the grand giveaway to be announced both on the etteam blog and on the Meerkats Facebook Fan Page.

So after the excitement of actually seeing Elvis right on the strip had worn off I took little Alchemy out to play on the roulette wheel.

What do you mean I'm not a little ball?

A guy could get pretty dizzy sitting in this merry go round and I really want to know where the cotton candy is!.

Oooh, this looks just like grass! Blackjack eh? This looks complicated for a Meerkat. Where's the poker tables?

Well this hand doesn't look very promising...


Yeah yeah, I'll take four thank you very much.

Woohoo! Things are definitely looking up! Baby needs a new pair o' shoes!

*Stay tuned for even further Meerkat adventures!*

Meerkat Adventures!

Have you been following all the adventures of the traveling Meerkats?
Wait, what do you mean you've never heard of the Meerkats!?
They've even got their own Facebook Fan page!

It all started rather innocently...sorta.

The fabulous Niftyknits makes these oh so wonderfully adorable Meerkats and got it into her head to send not one but two of them out into the world to be hosted by many of her Etteam, (Etsy treasury makers) team mates all over the world in which said host would make something for the little Meerkat to take along in his/her journey.
At the end of the exciting journey the aforementioned fabulous Niftyknits would then hold a giveaway to decide where each of the little Meerkats, and said goodies, would get to go live.

The first little Meerkat Etta had quite an adventure which you can read all about right here. She has already gone to her fabulous new home.

The second little Meerkat vanished along the way to her next host. I'm really hoping that little Treasure is laying about on a beach somewhere sunning himself or maybe on the plane they got to watch the movie Madagascar and it gave him ideas, hmmm.

Niftyknits sent a third Meerkat out into the world and Alchemy is on his way here next, yay!

Right now little Alchemy is wrapping up his goodbyes at Waterroses' place.

I'm pretty excited about taking Alchemy out into the big wide world known as Las Vegas. Here's hoping we don't get into too much trouble along the way.

Stay tuned for some "exciting" snapshots.
