As if it isn’t exciting enough, the 3rd Annual Mosby Christmas Cube Contest had two new twists from previous years. But first, let’s review all of the participants before we get to the winners.  Above is one of the highlights of Tina Reese’s cube: a 3D Christmas tree!

And elsewhere in her cube, she had to clarify an important point.

Designer Julie Giljum went with a round ornament theme with special guest appearance by the ICART polar bear.

David Cluff turned everyone in the office into Santa Claus for the mural above.

A fine detail of Ken Ware’s cube was decorated bottles of merry.

Darrell McClanahan (with the help of his two daughters) went Feliz Navidad, complete with chips & salsa and a blender for non-alcoholic margaritas. Pay attention to that Christmas tree pinata hanging above – it makes a spectacular return appearance.

The first new twist to the 3rd Annual Mosby Christmas Cube Contest was a tie for 3rd place.

Noel Jacob’s cube (2 photos above) was decked out as the North Pole.  She was the 2010 1st place winner, and this year she shares the 3rd place win with…

…Kelly Rooney and her Peppermint Gingerbread House theme, shown in the 2 photos above.

In 2nd place is Michelle Bridgewater (above and below) with her BridgeH2O Candy Cane Palace.

And finally, the 1st place winner is…

Tracy Bax with Snowman Resort!

Tracy was the 3rd Place winner in 2009, proving that working at your craft will always produce winning results.

And here are our 4 big winners, with gift cards to treat themselves over the holidays. From left to right, we have Kelly Rooney, Noel Jacobs, Michelle Bridgewater & Tracy Bax.

Ahhh yes, the Christmas tree pinata… The second new twist is we had a Christmas Cube Contest After party where  contestants were blindfolded and spun around as the pinata lowered, and here’s the action packed result:

Look at the group of adults rushing at the candy like 5-year olds. We love it! Thank you to everyone who took part in this event we love so much. And from everyone at Mosby Building Arts, we wish you all Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

The Mosby Building Arts office is in preparations for the 1st Annual Christmas Cube Decorating Contest.  Final judging for the three top prizes takes place on Monday, December 21st, so many of the cubes are in-progress, waiting until the big day to pull out the show stoppers.

We share with you now the 3 cubes that are gloriously done.

Candy Cane Condo

The stockings hung by the chimney with care are for the judges!

Each window cleverly depicts what is actually on the other side of the cubicle wall.

Holiday Clothing Cube

Where holiday clothing gag gifts go for a little sympathy and lovin’.

Yes, that’s a Farrah Fawcett beauty center head up on the shelf.

Happy Holly Days

Overhead storage space was sacrificed for a Christmas village!

These are the 3 contestants who are done with their cubes.  We have more contestants to showcase with photos and video AND announcing the winners!  Stay tuned.
