Okay…BILBO is a very busy gnome here in Alberta. He has been up to lots and lots. He got to meet the kids when they got home…and the photo shoot was enormous! There were over 250 photos to sort through. I had to laugh at a lot of them. Here’s a taste of what he’s been doin’…

001

Saturday started out busy. We decided to do some bedroom cleaning out for spring and that turned into a total makeover. Bilbo supervised the prep for the painting of the first room…he got kicked out for being too bossy. And then it was ON!

053

He took his wounded ego out to the living room. He pouted until he grew bored and decided to explore his more feminine side…Yes…he is wearing a dress…and not a real pretty one I might add.

056

In spite of his fashion faux pas…somehow he managed to wheel a couple of fairies into having a photo shoot with him…he thinks he might hit a magazine cover one day and wants this in his portfolio to show how versatile he is.

047

While on the photo shoot, he fell in love with Barbie…and they thought they would ride into the sunset together…076

But sadly, they had a falling out, and Barbie got kicked to the curb not long after…

077

Bilbo did make sure she was okay…after all he’s never seen a “lady” laying on the side of the road kicking and screaming...078

He then drove off…headed for his next modeling session….079

He seems to think he’s pretty hot stuff…now he’s doing a car ad… he said sex sells…so here he is posing on the hood of a car... 080

Oh Bilbo….You are SO full of yourself!

Okay…that’s it for today…got to get back to work here…lots to do! Want to have a turn with Bilbo? Just head back to the top of the post, check out the rules again…and leave me a comment letting me know you want him. He will be catching a flight out of here this week! I will have one of my “assistants” make the draw on Wednesday evening.

A big hug goes out to the girls here who did a great job taking photos of Bilbo…helped him with his wardrobe changes…and shared their stuff with him…There is more…just had to shorten this a bit…there’s always tomorrow!!! hahaha.

Until tomorrow…hugs, smiles and a special little wink to my two biggest fans! (and you know who you are)

It almost looks like Bilbo car jacked Barbie!

Better watch out for him.

Lona said...

I knew he was getting the big head with all of that world travel and now he thinks he is the worlds handsomest playboy. Men! LOL!

I think Bilbo needs to see the east coast of Canada now and the Atlantic Ocean. So send him on over to my garden.

Helen said...

I used to have a Bilbo or sorts ... I called him my 'lawn elf' and he was REAL. He was short, bald and had point ears, was forever tan and helped me keep my Orlando lawn looking good! I miss him.

I need Bilbo here to help me with my planting. My doggie says it's too hot for her, and spends her days on the couch snoozing. I'll get the guest room ready.

How the heck are we gonna deflate the ego of Bilbo after he's had a fling with Barbie and the fairies. Will this little gnome ever come back down to the garden after drivin' around your place. He needs to hop over to the Ponderosa and get a taste of farm livin'. Heeehehehe!

God bless and have a marvelous Monday from the hills and hollers of Missouri!!!

La Petite Gallery said...

This is a wild post.. LOL. yvonne

Gweny said...

LOL, This is hilarious. Ask Bilbo If he'd like to come on down an visit Texas for a spell. We'd love to have him. Sounds like he had a wonderful visit at your place Tootsie:)

I'm afraid Bilbo would freeze his ceramic tookus off here. Looks like he had a lot of fun in Alberta though...esp. the pink Corvette.

Christine in Alaska

Darla said...

Jessica said...

Best regards,
J.C.

I guess Barbie isn't used to being turned down :) Looks like he had quite the adventure, he's been almost completely around the world by now. He visited me a year ago, can't believe it was that long ago.

Bangchik and Kakdah said...

Hi, Tootsie. Bilbao is sure having a great time being pampered by all you beautiful ladies. Soon, he'll be singing, "To all the girls I've loved before"!

Sassy said...

Well shoot...I am too late...always a day late and a dollar short...that seems to be my middle name.....I would have loved a chance with BILBO.....

Sue Swift said...

Say hello to Bilbo for me - I was just checking where he'd got to since he left me here in Milan. Odd - he was such a meek little chap when he was here with me. It seems he has a side to his personality that we never discovered. Anyway, give him a big hug from me, and I look forward to seeing where he ends up next.

Matron said...

Well, it is Spring after all and a young gnomes thoughts turn to other things! I've already hosted Bilbo in London, but wait to see who is going to have him next! He sure is a well travelled chap!
