Gnight Gnight Gnomie

This little gnomie has had a very long day and is so sleepy! It's time to wash up, put on her favorite polka-dotted jammies and head to bed. But wait! Where is her lovie? She absolutely CAN NOT sleep without her beloved lovie. Oh, there he is... as soft and cuddly as he ever was. I'm sure there's no convincing her that anything is softer than her lovie, and by the look of comfort in her eyes it's obvious that there isn't anything she cherishes more. There is nothing better than watching a little gnomeling fall asleep with the look of security and love in her drooping eyes. Gnight gnight, little gnomie. Sweet dreams.

The BFG

I'm certain you've heard all about the BFG, the Big Friendly Gnome. I know what you're about to say. "Isn't it the Big Friendly Giant?" The answer to that, my friend, is Gno, chances are it is was simply translated incorrectly from the Gnomish texts. He may be much smaller than you imagined after reading the book, but I assure you that size is only a matter of perspective and this warm fuzzy soul is as big as big can get. He has a heart that is bigger than any other soul in Gnomish History! Why else would they write such a beloved story about him? As you well know, the BFG has a fantastic whimsical hobby of catching dreams, keeping them safe in bottles, and then mixing them together to create the perfect custom dream for a special young soul. Look what he's caught now! With a little bitty hop, he can't help but be excited about this one. It's the perfect finale to the dream he was concocting for a certain someone special. In jars, he already has a dream about an adventure, one about the ocean and one with guitar music. And gnow, if he's gnot mistaken, he's captured a dream about a brown-eyed girl to laugh and frolic with! Oh this is going to be a great combination! With another little skip, and a hop, he rushes off to mix to mix them all together. Gnight time can't come soon enough... He's so excited to blow this dream into an unsuspecting, but very lucky, sleepy soul tonight!

PERSONAL GNOTE:
With a great deal of respect, this guy was obviously inspired by the wonderful character created by Roald Dahl.

Just Me and Gramma

Me and Gramma have adventures like you would gnot believe! I know with every ounce of my body that there is gnothing Gramma wouldn't do for me. We have so much fun and WOW what an imagination we have! She knows all about Gnomish magic because she grew up in a wee village where the gnomes roam free! She is the smartest gnome in all the garden! She knows lots of stuff like how to love the beauty of flowers, sunrises and sunsets. Oh! And BOOKS!!! It's her job to read the books and my job to listen, but one season soon I'll be big enough to read to her! My loved ones call me Hunter because I love to hunt out adventures. Gramma is my adventure buddy! We build things, play with farm animals, bake tasty treats, plant flowers (I bring her flowers all the time because I like her smile), even have sleepovers with movies, popcorn and the works! If there is an adventure we haven't had, gno doubt we'll do it before the season is through! My Gramma says I'm the light of her life, which makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I tell her I love her all the time and I can see that it melts her heart so I know she feels the same. My Gramma's greatest love is me and my greatest love is her. We are so lucky!

Keeper of the Moon Dust

Everygnome in the garden has a very important job to do, but one might argue that gnone of them are as rewarding as this little soul's job. He has been entrusted with the garden's supply of moon dust! Oh what a big responsibility for somegnome as small as he. Since there gnever seems to be enough supply of moon dust, only the most special of all special occasions warrant its use. This little fellow flutters from here to there, looking for just the perfect opportunity to sprinkle a pinch or two of the precious sparkling dust. Oh he has found it! Look at how excited he is to go tell the Gnomish Elders! He rushes back to call together the Gnomish committee. Today's the day to make a dream come true - He just KNOWS it! Honestly I'm gnot sure why he bothers to get the Elders together, because they always approve of his choice. Today he has found the perfect baby, one with a heart as big as big can be and a soul that is twice again even bigger. This little baby has so much potential, gno wonder he deserves to have moon dust sprinkled in his hair! As the little Keeper goes to take a pinch of dust from his bottle (this is the best part of his job), he slips and oops! The entire bottle pours onto the baby. That's far more than the usual dose! Oh well, at least he knows it went to a good cause! Imagine the magic in store for that lucky gnewborn!

Protector of the Tiny Treasures

It’s her responsibility to protect those items that are most beloved by one paricularly deserving soul. In this case, though the deserving child may look small to you and me and her beloved treasures may seem unimportant to the common passerby, only children with the biggest of souls, kindest of hearts and the greatest of potentials are assigned special protectors such as this one. And just what are this child’s tiny treasures of great importance? Why they’re her dummy and her blanket of course! When the sweet child has so much potential to fill, it’s assuring to know that there is a gnome who protects her treasures, making sure they’re always close by when gneeded. That way, the child is sure to grow into the confidence and self assurance of which she is fully capable and deserving. Like a Bird, she will spread her wings and fly!

Tiny Angel

Some may say this tiny soul got her wings much too soon but that hasn’t stopped her from having as much fun as she possibly can. When she used to glide down the tallest slide in the playground, you can be sure she now slides down every rainbow in the sky she can find. Her loved ones remember how her eyes twinkled when she laughed. Now she twinkles in the night sky, just as bright as before. She was always so proud of herself for running faster and faster, fastest of all! Now she flutters across the sky faster than before. Sometimes she misses her loved ones and swoops down to see them. Though she wishes she could give them one of her trademarked big squeezes, she can’t help but smile at the look of confusion they get after she buzzes by them. With a tiny giggle, she does it again. She’s so fast that they can’t see her! With another giggle, she swoops down once more. There’s what she was looking for! A smile! Oh that feels good. Now off to go play some more. She sure does love her new set of wings!

Gno Time to Waste

If this little fella isn’t busy getting dirty in the sand pit, then most likely you can find him soaking wet in the splash pool. Whatever it is he’s doing, he knows how to have fun. He loves playing with cars and trucks because they make gnometastic VROOM sounds. And trains! Don’t forget the trains! CHOO CHOO! It’s quite apparent that his life is full of imagination and energy. How fun! Quite a social little fella, he loves to meet friends and visit other gnomes in the community. He seems to have so much fun having adventures that he makes it look easy, but if he does gneed a moment to take a tiny rest, then he is ready to give his Mummy a big hug and kiss. He does this often as it’s just the perfect thing to refill his energy so he can go outside and play some more. Perhaps this time he’ll have an adventure with his big sister, his best friend and most favoritest gnomette in the whole garden! There are so many adventures left to be had… there’s gno time to waste!

Strawberry Patch

What sort of garden do you grow? Is it filled with bright joyful flowers that make the eyes pop? Or perhaps scented herbs that make the gnose twitch in delight? Is your garden full of birds that sing to you as you smile? There are so many types of gardens out there, I'm sure it's hard to decide which one to grow. As long as your corner of the garden helps to bring smiles to others' faces and helps to make the garden a prettier place, well then I am sure you're doing something right. As for me? I have chosen to grow a strawberry patch - one that is generously sweet and always looking for a way to bring a smile to another's face. Even if a happy tear or two is shed, we will consider our efforts a success. My little strawberry patch will always be ready with a gnice word or two as everygnome could use a good compliment to brighten their day. We will always be ready for a good snuggle or squeeze, even for those from afar. Yes, I have decided that my little corner of the garden will be filled with a strawberry patch sweeter than all others. What have you decided you will grow?

Berry Sweet

In my little strawberry patch, there lives two tiny berries. Though they are still so young and gnot quite ripe, I assure you they are as sweet as can be. While one is constantly looking for gnice ways to make the gnomes around her smile, the other one prides herself in being able to make them laugh. One knows the rules of the garden - to treat other gnomes the way she'd like to be treated. The other simply goes along with whatever makes her loved ones happy. Both are filled with great big hugs and warm fuzzy thoughts and lots and lots of affection. If they're this sweet gnow, imagine how wonderfully delightful they will be as they get bigger. Gnever before has the garden known such berry sweet souls as these two, and I'm proud to say they're in my corner of the garden!

In memory of the children lost during the Newton, Connecticut shooting. My heart goes out to those who were affected by such an act of sadness.

Holiday Wonder

Awww... Look how this tiny one's eyes are wide with wonder! He just woke up from what he felt was surely the longest little gnap ever. After his cozy little slumber, you might think it would take him awhile to open his eyes, but as he lazily trotted towards the Christmas tree, he had gno choice but to stop and stare in wide-eyed wonder. Oh My Gnomes! It seems everywhere he looked he saw gnothing but sparkles and tinsel. Even the air seemed crisp with yummy smells of holiday cheer. Could it be his imagination, or does it really seem that even the gnuzzles from his family seem filled with more love than before. Saint GNick sure does have a way with magic, doesn't he? Gno doubt this is all his fault. What a glorious sight it is. Gno, I'm gnot talking about the piles of presents under the tree or even the stockings stuffed with goodies. I'm talking about the twinkle in a gnomeling's wide eyes. Magic.

Special Day

There once was a little gnomeling who was adored by all those who knew him. He was a big ball of energy and always seemed to be bouncing here or running there, constantly putting smiles on his loved ones faces. He loved just about everything. If it was warm and fuzzy like a blanket or soft animal, it loved it. If it was something that was fast and made zoom zoom sounds like a snail, he loved it. If it was an activity that was outside and in the sun (or rain) like helping in garden, he loved it. Even today, the gnomeling loves it all, but his absolutely mostest favoritest thing of all is his trains! Choo Choo! I love when he snuggles up to me to watch the trains go by. And the smile on his face when he plays with them? Oh, gnothing can be better. And today, on your special day, I look at this loveable soul and see how big he seems to be. Today is a special day. May you know how much you are loved.

What treasures will we find? Snuggle close to me, my love, and we're sure to find something grand!

Train Crossings

Spend one moment with this little fella and you will have gno doubt what makes him all giddy with excitement inside. Trains. Plain and simple, he likes trains. I'm gnot really sure what started it all, but once he gets going there simply isn't any way to stop him. He'll tell you about the routes the trains take, and when they are scheduled to pass by here or stop over there. He can tell you about the big trains carrying massive objects or even the tiny trains carrying a child's imagination. He even looks forward to hearing the trains toot their friendly hellos any time they pass over a train crossing. Fast short trains and slow long trains, he loves them all. And after seeing how his enthusiasm seems endless, it's impossible gnot to smile. If only we all were as passionate as he.

Gneed For Speed

From the moment this little fella learned to balance on his very first slug as a young gnomeling, he was hooked. He caught the bug - the Gneed for Speed bug. So he searched for ways to go faster and faster. The sensation of movement as he leaned to round a corner was exhilarating! He wanted, gno wait, he GNEEDED more speed so when he was big enough he traded his slug in for something faster - a CBR1000RR snail with a 1000 cubic mm shell. If you asked him, there really is gnothing better than the feeling of becoming "one" with the snail. The little speedster loves feeling the fresh open air all around gnomeself, as he takes in the surrounding aroma of the elements... well let's just say there is gnothing like snail riding!
