To a gnome, there are few things luckier than butterflies, especially the tiny fluttery sort. It is said that if a butterfly kisses you then you will have a life time of success at whatever you want to do. And so it is not uncommon to see the wee folk lounging about in the butterfly fields hoping for a quick little peck. But look what's happening now! All the butterflies are gathering around one tiny little gnomeling! Her parents are so thrilled with her arrival (they've waited such a long while), and like any parent, they want her future filled with love and adventure (two great measures of success) so they brought her here to see... perhaps one butterfly might get close enough? By the looks of it, that is no problem. The wee gnomeling squeals with delight at the fluttering chaos around her. Surely it's a sign that this baby has a bright future ahead of her! It's obvious she's loved by all, and that's a good start.

Colorful Clutz
Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear. Look at what has happened to the garden! It is this little gnome's job to touch up all the colors in the garden to ensure they are their brightest for the upcoming summer season. Most of the colors need very little touch-up, but she still needs to make sure that the grass is as green as green can be, the skies are the bluest you've ever seen, and the flowers are so red that they'd make anygnome proud. But look at what has happened! The clumsy little clutz has spilled all her paint! Now you can't tell one flower apart from the next... they all look like rainbows! What a mess! What a perfectly beautiful mess!

Pokey and Her Gnew Pet
Meet little Pokey. For as long as she can remember, she has begged her parents to get a pet, and not just any pet, mind you. She's not interested in owning an ant because everygnome has an ant - how boring. Those who don't have ants, usually have a flea - yuck. Oh, no siree, Pokey wants a gnometastic pet and she knows just the right kind... a snail! Well no wonder her parents are hesitant! Everygnome knows how wild a snail can be. Sure they look cute and cuddly when they're squirmy little babies, but eventually they grow up to be big, ugly, energetic bouncing creatures that do nothing but eat all your food and smell bad until they finally croak. No wait, that's a tadpole. Hmmm... now where was I? Oh right, a snail? Uh... Umm... sure why not?

Guardian of the Strawberry Patch
It's no secret that strawberries are delicious, but the ones that are grown by gnomes are particularly sweet and juicy. So it should come as no surprise that the town council voted unanimously the strawberry patch needs to be protected. Not just anygnome can qualify for such an important job. We need a master of the mind, a master of disguise, a master of all things green... who better to protect the patch than a master gardener?! Now that the strawberries are safe, the gnome colony has no worries about having enough berries for their upcoming strawberry festival. It's one of the best events of the year!

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.

Live Laugh Love
Everygnome has heard the community rules before and even the little gnomelings know not to break them. Rule #1: Live well. Rule #2: Laugh often. Rule #3: Love much. Every now and then there is a disagreement on which rule is the most important and when this happens the leaders in the community conduct a survey. Without fail the results are always the same. Half the community thinks it's most important to LIVE life. Half the community thinks it's more crucial to LAUGH. And finally, the other half believe that there is nothing more important than LOVE. Wait, wha huh? Silly gnomes. They have never been very good at voting!
