doodle by andre: gnomes of christmas past
HO, HO, HO and all kinds of other holiday cheer from me and Andre Jordan and the Anti-Defamation League of Garden Gnomes (of which he is honorary chairman, I believe). Don’t forget to be kind to them and all the garden’s creatures. And one more thing:
Don’t forget to say a proper thank you to the garden itself. Peace! 
I chuckled at your gnome cartoon! I must admit, I do love garden gnomes, even if some of them do look a little creepy. Also, I “pinned” your picture of Jack in his little bed to my Pinterest page as well as some of your tips. Hope this is okay! May you have a wonderful and blessed 2012. I’m looking forward to your blog as well as listening to you on-line on Robin Hood.
This did make me laugh but also think somewhat seriously and gratefully about how much the garden enriches our lives year-round, including the Christmas season.
I hope the Holidays bring you calm and peace (if not a period of dormancy) as well as the soaring joy you wished us, your readers.
A good time to thank you for all the years past, gnome or no gnome, of fun, advice and yummy recipes! Enjoy the holidays and wishing you a peaceful year ahead!
Thank you!, Margaret, for sharing all year through. You’re a blessing…and an inspiration…and a wonderful source of information. Merry Christmas! and best wishes for all good things in the New Year.
Merry Christmas and many “happy hours” in 2012… Thank you for your wonderful, full of enjoyment and educational blogs.
Thank you for posting your blogs during this past year. They have been informative and inspirational.
Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2012!
Still working on my garden gnomenclature!
Thank-you for making me laugh during the last leg of Christmas prep! Have a very Happy Holiday Margaret!
The cartoon of the gnome on his back made me snort. So funny…and I, too, am bored shitless! Spring, where are you??? Merry Christmas!!
Thanks for the giggle!
I love Andre’s drawings so much, and was thinking that they should be published in a daily flip calendar, so every day you can see a new one (it is that time on year and I need to find another!) I know he has tons of drawings, and some are in a book, but just a garden calendar one would be nice. Please pass on this idea to him :) I would definitely purchase one!
Thanks, Sarah — I agree! We do have postcards, but no calendar yet.
Glad to share a laugh, Val. He is so funny.
I didn’t know that Gnomes cursed. I’m actually a Gargoyle person myself.
