I went to Hobby Lobby with my aunt over the weekend to get out of the house for a little while. We had a blast walking every single isle and daydreaming about how we want to decorate things!
While we were there I walked across a massive gnome display! I knew my lovely TCS folks would apprecite this one

For my birthday a couple of weeks ago, I told DH I wanted a garden statue I'd found at a local farm store. It's a giant ant (about a foot tall) pulling a gnome by the ankles. The gnome has a horrified look on his wee face; I assume the ant is taking him home to feed all the baby ants. I absolutely love it.

Did he get it for you? It's sounds pretty neat!

He did, indeed. It's sitting in my living room until spring is officially here.

Glad you guys enjoyed it!!
I seriously stood in the middle of the store to take pictuers specifically with TCS in mind


(I don't know what those pictures are soo tiny! For some reason everytime I send a picture from my cell phone to my computer it automatically makes them tinsy. Not sure how to fix it!)

Gonna see if I can post a pic of that gnome-eating ant; sorry the gnome's face isn't clearer. Notice the ant has a big smile on his face.
