Guess what came in the mail today?
Oh just a few gnomes for our Send in the Gnomes Fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Hospital. We have officially hit the 10% mark. Yep, over 100 gnomes have been sent in so far. Yee- Haw!
Some of the gnomes were sent in without messages. They are “gnome-less.” {Oh man I crack myself up sometimes. So many gnome jokes, so little time.} So please take a look if you sent one in so we can give you credit and let everyone know where they came from. You can see all of the gnomes that were sent in HERE.
In case you were worried about security, Mr. Pants-half-down has been doing a great job of keeping all the gnomes in line.
Which has been great because we have a lot of super jocks in the hood these days.
However there have been a few shenanigans going on though.
For instance, Travelocity Gnome {who incidentally believes he’s Santa} totally has the corner market on the fairy garden.
I’m not sure where First Time Away From Home Gnome was headed, but by the look on his face, Mavisland wasn’t it.
I think these guys are holding out for higher wages. We pay in produce around these parts. They’ll learn soon enough.
And these 3 were caught trying to escape. Note to self: research gnome traps.
Thanks everyone for your support! I am having a blast.

I have also set up a Send in the Gnome Wish list on Amazon.com as some of you had suggested. Thanks for all your suggestions!
And last but not least, as gnomes arrive they will be cataloged, photographed and placed on the Send in the Gnomes – Where Did They All Come From page.

When my Golden Retriever (Baxter) was a puppy like Lucy, he would have EATEN all the gnomes in the yard. He ate stuff until he as about 2 1/2 yrs old. Including all my pots, plastic or clay, didn’t matter. He also ate all of the solar lights.
