For Christmas I received Grima and Saruman Lego men from a good friend who knows well of my fangirlish tendencies! So now little Grima is my muse, and I swear, he works. Occasionally Saruman has to whack him with his staff, because otherwise Grima wouldn't be so bitter... and that means less angst, which makes Enca an unhappy writer.

I am keeping all of the pictures (save maybe Nazgul and Orcs and the like). I have found that those pages fit very nicely in Polaroid-sized photo pages.

Oh, I keep all the photos too
Just because they are so wonderfully clear, and also because I guess I could use them for some LOTR related craft project... if I suddenly became creative

but I do think that I will consider purchasing Eowyn's sword when it finally comes out

I'm with you all the way there! Theoden's sword is out but *sigh* I'm really awaiting Eowyn's.

Happiness! I finally got my LOTR calenders. I had to go through the official store but I have them - the desk and the wall. And I must say... it was well worth the wait.

That's a really good idea. I'm saving many of them but I had no clue what I was going to do with them all

The Tolkien 50th Anniversary Calendar is wonderful - it features illustrations by the Professor himself.

Today I moved from Old Man Willow to his vision of Rivendell.

Last year, I had the RotK calendar. Which was nice. But I much prefer this one.

Fittingly, it sits above my monitor as I browse the Downs.

I finally found an online image of the RotK puzzle I have - and have put together. Here it is: RotK 1000-piece round puzzle

Now I have found what is said to be a limited edition trilogy puzzle set (3 puzzles), including that one and one each for FotR and TTT. It's in a round metal box, very classy, making it look like a great collectible. !t was offered by a book club to which a friend belongs; she told me about it and ordered it for me. I found a picture of the box here: Trilogy puzzle

Seen the round puzzle before. Think for myself I would like the TTT one best...'cause it features my Sam.

er....round one? I meant the FOTR one....

Where do you people live that you are able to find such wonderful things!?! If it is not UK based then can you give me some shop names so I can try to find the websites?

I have this calendar. I love Tolkien's style of artwork and I like how it marks the publication dates of Tolkien's books. I'll be keeping it when 2005 is over--to me it's a collectible.
