Please Call Gnome

There are a lot reasons to love the WestJet community. One of my favourite reasons is because of the communities creativity—just like this picture I got in the mail and it's perfect for Winglet Wednesday.

We regularly see thousands of people interested in entering our Look it up! contest. But it is my pleasure to regularly receive several "snail mail" entries each month. I rarely get mail at home, but every day at work I get a couple letters from entrants. Usually, they just contain the pertinent contest info, but once in awhile, I get something extra.

Last month, I got an envelope that felt a little thicker than usual from Viv Demers and it included the picture above. She makes these interesting gnomes and playfully took a great picture of one while on a WestJet flight (following the great tradition of taking gnomes with you on traveling adventures).

Have you got any pictures of yourself with a gnome that you may or may not have liberated from someone's front lawn? Please upload them to our photo contest or you can email them to me (rhett@upmagazine.com) and I'll add them to this post.
