Brave Heart

Sometimes this little fellow feels so small compared to the big garden around him. Sometimes he wonders if he can be brave enough to go out into the garden and join the other gnomelings in playing chase and learning about how the garden around them works. Sometimes he's just a wee bit scared about everything that he cannot control. It's just in that moment that his little dragon friend arrives! Just in time! With his dragon friend by his side he feels so brave. He feels so big. He feels so warm and fuzzy and ready to challenge any other gnomeling to have more fun than he. With his dragon friend, he can handle anything the garden throws his way, and can accomplish anything he sets his brave heart to. He may think that it's his little dragon friend that gives him this kind of special courage, but I'll let you in on a little secret. Dragon spirits are not friends with just anygnome. They're friends with the bravest of souls. It takes an extra special brave heart to have dragon friends like this!

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!

PERSONAL GNOTE:
This gnome's story was inspired by the song "They Long to Be (Close to You)" by the Carpenters.

Sunset Harvester

Sometimes there simply aren't enough beautiful words to describe how deep one's soul really is, and gno doubt this lady is such an example. Perhaps that's why she has been given such a big job to do. She is the one and only sunset harvester. A what? Let me explain. Everygnome has seen a few sunsets in their lives, but they always remember only those who are particularly brilliant in color. A perfect sunset is filled with such beauty that there simply aren't enough beautiful words to describe how deep the colors are. Does that sound a little familiar? Ah ha! Gnow I am sure you understand why it takes such a special soul like her to have such a special job like this. She reaches deep into her soul and paints her feelings into the sky, and oh the brilliance! Oh the feelings! Oh how lovely! Oh how... like I said, there are simply not enough beautiful words, but that's OK. Sometimes the words are gnot gneeded. Just the energy is. And that brings us to the gnext part of her job. She harvests the energy in her sunsets and uses it to connect with the garden around her. She loves to travel the entire garden, gno doubt bringing a depth of color and soul where ever she goes. She may leave one corner of the garden to explore another, but that corner will gnever be the same. That corner has gnow been touched with a beauty that can not be described. It can only be felt.

It's Spring!

Are you ready for spring? If you're anything like this little soul, I'm sure you're bouncing off of walls and can't wait for the weather to finally decide to be nice and STAY nice. If you asked her, I'm sure she'd say that it feels like more than one season since she has felt warm and cozy. It's spring time! What does a gnome have to do to get some sunny days around here? Gno doubt she gneeds a change - a change in seasons and a change in her life. She feels like she gneeds to go someplace where she can get plenty of sunshine and love to help her grow right along side her plants. Perhaps you know a little corner in the garden where she could stretch her wings and flutter about? And since we're on the topic, can I join too?

Shimmery

Chances are you have gnever heard of a mer-gnome before. Indeed they're so rare that I'm gnot surprised, but I assure you that makes them all the more special. They're the magic fairies of the sea! Meet Shimmery. She's more than just somegnome who loves animals and loves to have adventures. Come to think of it, she pretty much loves everything! On top of that, she's a little mer-gnome who has a big job to do. Have you ever seen how the water sparkles in such a way that you can't help but stop to gnotice the magic? That's her doing! It's this little lady's job to put the glitter in the water to make it sparkle just right. If you ask me, I would say she's quite good at it. There have been times when I've seen sparkly reflections on the water that have left me in awe. Gno doubt the garden, uh... I mean the sea... is a much prettier, not to mention sparkly, place with her in it!

Grams' Love

Once upon a garden there lived the most amazing gnome you could ever have known. Though she was an elder gnome, you gnever would have known. She was always so stylish! Whether it be the way she dressed or even the way she carried herself, gno doubt the air around her was filled with such Grace. Well, Grace and the smell of wonderfully freshly baked cupcakes! She was THE best baker in the whole garden! Those lucky enough to have known her were always filled with tasty treats when they visited, and left feeling filled with so much love that they were sure to stay warm and fuzzy all season long. Her loved ones may have been the luckiest souls in the Gnomish community. They were a close Gnomish family, and that pretty much says it all. Gnothing compares to the love of a Gnomish Grams, and I assure you the entire garden is having a terrible time missing her. As such a very important part of so many lives, the garden will gnever be the same without her. Hmmm... wait... what's that? Is that the smell of freshly baked cupcakes? My tummy is filling with that same old warm and fuzzy feeling... Why of course it is! Gno doubt Gram's love will continue to grow in the gnests of the gnext generations and the generations to come. I tell you, there is gnothing more magical than Grams' love.

Changed Bee

Sometimes it may seem that everything around you is going down a path you did gnot choose, and you start to wonder if you are strong enough to handle the tough tasks the garden has handed you. Believe it or gnot, there was once a time when this lady wondered those same things, but that didn't stop her from taking control of her life making the changes she deserved! And look at her gnow! Wow! What a changed bee she is! Gno doubt she has an extra sparkle in her eye and a little skip in her walk. And the best part? The changes are gnot only gnoticeable on the surface, but also much deeper. She is gnow taking care of the one gnome who deserves it the most - herself. Nothing is more powerful! With a love like that, there is gnothing that can get in her way gnow! Watch out, garden! This changed bee is here to stay!
