    While taking a stroll in a nearby park my Sim came across this Mech Gnome, along with his graceful friend the lovely pink flamingo, welcoming visitors to the park.
    Alitoni, Welcome, I have your entry posted, thank-you! You added a Mech Gnome to the garden! ~big smile~

    My Sims are gaga for plants (and gnomes)!!! One of my goals in every game is to collect one of every type of gnome. My garden is one of a two fold path, you can contemplate which path you want to take in the the trellis bench and take in the Isla Paradiso views.

    Birds of Paradise are my favorite plant in game so they are featured rather prominently in every garden I make.

    I sort of made a game out of it. there are six gnomes and a flamingo, which gnomes can you see?

    Here is my entry.

    It´s magical garden. The garden path goes past a small lake with waterfall. A dirt path leads up the hill. This garden is rules by a flamingo and 8 gnomes.

    Your garden path is indeed magical Illusie, thank-you for sharing it with us. I'll get it entered in a few minutes.

    (pssst: Pegasas' vampire gnomes do not stand a chance up against all the bright and cheery goodness I am seeing in these entries)

    This is the entrance to a small beach side park I made. The gazebo overlooks the sea.

    Hi Kgaff,

    Welcome and thank-you for your beautiful entry...

    But, you might want to make a small adjust, to bring your entry into accordance with the Rules:, Page 1, Item 4 "Buildings, of any kind, should be obscure."

    pegasas1993 - Oh my word! An epic battle between vampire gnomes and pink flamingos, how awesome. I love the disclaimer stating that no gnomes or flamingos were hurt in the process. Rofl

    trishaanne1987 - Such a pretty landscape and an excellent use of the curved bridge. Nicely done cfe there.

    aviamoldavia - Small and formal with a cute fountain as the focal point. If only I had a coin to toss in...

    Alitoni - The sign, genius! If I were strolling along this path, I wonder which direction I would choose...

    Aunza - Yes, it is a real commercial from the early (mid?) 90's. I remember it from when I was a kid and that's the only reason I know who Fabio is. *dies giggling*

    jnscoey - You won't mind if I take a short nap on the bench, will you? It looks to be perfect for a quiet rest.

    Frn0731 - A snowy path! Love the uniqueness of that as well as the secret meeting of the gnomes.

    illusie - I can just imagine happy little fantasy creatures coming out to play each morning at the path you designed.

    Kgaff - I love that you have a hidden curve right up front in your picture. It makes my mind think of all the possibilities I could encounter if I took the turn.

    ** I think I got everyone. If you were missed, it was unintentional.

    @illusie, your entry is simply adorable! :mrgreen: What a combination of everything. LOVE IT!!!

    @klb685, thank you! I'm glad that you like their tiny battle and the fact of neither of them being hurt :mrgreen:

    I had a quick few mins to check on here and see lots of new entries, I LOVE all these gardens! Soooooo much pretty. :shock: I just want to jump into these gardens, I've had like 2 or 3 days of actual warmth this spring, it's rather sad... it even snowed today. :cry:

    Also I saw a few comments on my picture and although I am far too tired & lazy with not enough time to say thanks individually I am glad my bridge is liked. This was the first bridge I built, made a slanted roof in the house too for the first time. Was having fun learning to CFE finally. :mrgreen:

    And I just want to say to illusie, I absolutely adore your avatar! It's so beautiful. :D

    Includes 4 gnomes and 2 flamingos. ;)

    I SPY...
    I spy with my little eye a garden gnome that is sinking nearby.
    The 2 flamingos squawked and cried,
    but the gnome king took action and ran to his side.
    "I'll save you," he called, just let me think...
    Do I know how to swim, or will I too just sink?




    Thanks for your wonderful hospitality and generosity, Aunza. :)

    PS - The shots already posted are all so wonderful and diverse! Great creativity....Go Flamingos...LOL

    Thank-you for entering your garden path, I almost missed the gnome which was very discretely placed to watch all those coming and going.
    Also, thank-you for all the comments. I try really hard to not write books when hosting, so I really appreciate those of you that comment on the entries.

    I agree! I agree! Wish I did not have to judge.


    @Pegasas - WAIT! WAIT! I changed my mind; seeing all those little ladies slain upon the path, with their petticoats showing, some of them even have their little faces planted in the earth, I am disturbed! I know they are not fairies but, but, but, do you think we could have the vampire gnomes dance in the moonlight with the flamingos, maybe even give each other spongehuggies?! ~laughing~

    @Trishaanne - Thank-you also for being supportive. ~warm smile~
