Alas, my dear friends and readers – you may rejoice. The promo onslaught is nearly over. But there is one more sneak peek I need to tease you with because you are in for a treat. Reader and fellow sister-in-RA Pat blew me away when she got in touch a week ago. Full disclosure: I did not know Pat at all, we had not previously been in touch, but she e-mailed me with an amazing donation to #cRAftingForCharity. This generous fellow fan is a gifted crafter as well. I’ll let her speak her own words:
I used to make and sell dolls on eBay. Although it has been years since then, I did make a 12 inch John Thornton/Richard Armitage doll for myself that I would like to donate to this cause. He is Ken/Barbie sized but is a highly articulated action figure wearing John Thornton’s iconic black suit and top hat. He comes with a pocket watch and chain, a book (not Aristotle or Plato but Robin Hood. I thought that was funny), a John Thornton “Look Back At Me” bracelet (human sized) and a Thorin tote.Let me know if there is any interest.
Any interest? Pat – you had me at 12 inch!!! But the images she sent of her multi-chaRActer donation would have convinced anyone that this package had to go into the auction. Here is a sneak peek:
Come back tomorrow for more details on this fabulous package of Thorin and Thornton. And massive thanks to Pat for donating this ultimate fangirling set!

It’s the “12 inch” thing…… Oh, his clothes are all removable, not glued to the body. No sense in having a doll if you can’t take his clothes off! (I used to complain that I had been kicked out of Toys ‘R Us because the staff caught me taking the clothes off of the GI Joe action figures. Not really true – I’d buy the dolls first and THEN take off their clothes.)

I used to take the clothes off of my brother’s super-heroes dolls too. Penguin had a cute little belly-button on his big fat belly 😀
