Time’s Running Out to Send in the Gnomes

I can’t believe our EPIC cross country road trip for our Send in the Gnomes fundraiser for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is less than 3 weeks away. We are so. freakin. excited. Your support has been A-Mazing! We’re already trying to figure out how to cram all of our gnomes in our luggage {you can see all the gnomes that have been sent in HERE}. It’s like a master’s version of Tetris!

I’m not sure if I mentioned this before but we will not only be touring St. Jude, the gardens and presenting a check, but we are also scheduled to make an arts and craft project and read some books with some of the children being treated there as well. It’s going to be an awesome, amazing and crazy 5 day journey and we will be blogging about it the whole way.

Thank you SO MUCH for all your support. To date we have collected 376 gnomes and although our initial goal of 1,000 gnomes is a little out of reach at this point, we would be thrilled to round that up to 400 before we leave.

So if you have you been procrastinating sending in your gnomes, there’s still time, but you have to act quickly!

Here are some adorable gnomes and gnome supplies still available:

1. I’m not sure how we overlooked these before, but these Gnome Hats with Full Beard would sure come in handy.

2. Here are a few of our favorite Gnomes-
Support Our Troops Gnome Garden Outdoor Statue
Signing Girl Gnome
Sleeping Gnome with Frog
Gnome Bird Feeder

3. These 3-inch Garden Gnome Figurines would be a blast to hand out to kids while on our road trip to St. Jude {and to the kids there as well}.

4. We have 2 pairs of gnome socks but we still need 2 more. There are four of us travelling on this trip and it would be cool if we could all wear a pair.

5. Oh Gnome You Don’t Board Game. This would be fun to donate to a family being treated at St. Jude.

6. Find Your Way Gnome Board Game. Another fun game!

7. Woodland Gnome Party Supplies – Who knows, we might have a reason to celebrate!

Woodland Gnome Pull-String Pinata
Woodland Gnome Lunch Napkins
Woodland Gnome Cone Hats
Woodland Gnome Dinner Plates
Woodland Gnome Empty Favor Boxes

8. A Garden Gnome Flag would be fun to hang from the Gnomemobile on our road trip.

9. Here are a few more garden gnome statues –

Gnome Sleeping Beneath Mushroom Statue
On Strike Sleeping Gnome Outdoor Statue
Fishing Gnome
Tree Gnome

10. And last but not least, we would love to receive some 38- inch Gnome Balloons!
