Gnome-Napped!!

Ok - so here at the factory, sometimes you have to rob from Peter to pay Paul when you are short handed.  I feel that my department gets picked on the most ... maybe it's not true... in fact it probably isn't true but I have a right to my feelings. :)

So, on those days that I may be missing my sample hand or my labor coster, I have brought up my garden gnome to make me feel that I am not short handed (and it just makes you smile)...I would place him in the sample department cutting fabric or at a sewing machine.  He has sat a computer to make some markers (all of the sizes of each given pattern piece in a group are arranged into a marker, that is printed. The marker is then laid on top of the layers of fabric and cut...see pic below) but now he has been gnome-napped!

The gnome-napper left a ransom note on my key board while I was out of my office...sneaky.   The ransom - 1 dozen donuts...are these regular glazed donuts? Chocolate covered? with sprinkles?  So many choices, I may just up my ante and bring a dozen and half of Prasek's pig in the blankets...that should suffice. Right?

Only time will tell after I make the drop this week.  I will keep you informed.

P.S. if you haven't seen Gnome-o and Juliet - you should.
