It's out with the garden gnomes and in with the gargoyles. What's on your 2006 calendar?

Do not have one. I saw a severe weather one that I liked and a "gardens of the world" or something like that... both at Sam's Club, when I went back they had neither of them. I probably won't even buy one this year.

I have gargoyles indoors and out. I would love to build a building with lots of gargoyles tucked here and there.

Ehh, we'll see what's on sale soon, but for now it's the usual squished faeries and odd olde words. Great stuff.

Classic Cats by the Library of Congress. I didn't have a wall calendar last year - it was a 365 days Coca-cola version.

Oh, yeah: the classic gnomes. Bootiful. I still have the ancient old books and calendars of these from when i was a kid :-)

And those poor Ohio Gnomes:
Fall.
Winter.
More Winter.

Thanks for the awesome gnome action, shane. (My best friend gets a squashed fairy calendar every year, btw.)

Thanks for the awesome gnome action...

You're welcome! Thanks for noticing.

I've been thinking of sculpting something ... irreverent concerning gnomes. Maybe some gnome action or, um... some gnome on gnome action.

Think there's a market? ;-)

Piglets! Given to me by Diva Despina, bless her caring little porcine heart.

I got a Dali calander, and a Zen calander. Had a hard time deciding which one to have at the lab (previously had a "Beer!..." one at the lab - I like the period iconography but no-one else 'got' it).

So it's Zen at the lab and Salvator Dali in the bedroom.

I have a choice between a really, really ugly dog one and the free Scenic America one from Red my mechanic. When I first looked at the scenic america one I thought, oh wait, there are only 12 months and there are 50 states! Whatever will they do? Do you think the states that didn't qualify for scenic status got upset?

I have la Virgen de Guadalupe in the kitchen and cowboy boots in the bathroom.

Choose the ugly dogs, mgl!
