A Good Deed Opportunity

As I mentioned recently, a local elementary school burned to the ground. The amazing Dina James, and Skyla Dawn Cameron along with the rest of the  Evil League of Evil Writers have put together a terrific auction to raise money for basic necessities for the the kids and teachers to get them through the year.

What have I donated to the auction? These things:
Chapthulhu, the Lip Balm Buddy of Evil: click here

All hail to the elder god of evil and his gloriously cozy lip balm carapace!  This lip balm buddy was designed and hand-knit by Devon Monk, who thinks everyone should have a little evil in their pocket.  Chapthulhu’s terrifying tentacled head tips back to conveniently expose the contents of its stomach, while Chapthulhu’s spine is fitted with a handy loop to make this uniquely portable evil suitable for key chains, backpacks, or anywhere else the madness of dry lips may cry out for relief. (chapstick not included)

Cheshire Book Cat: click here

“Oh, you can’t help that,’ said the cat. ‘We’re all mad here.”
–Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

This Cheshire Book Cat was hand-knit by Devon Monk and is filled with glass pebbles. Why? Well, it makes him the perfect weight to hold open books, secure maps against strong breezes, or clunk a fellow-adventurer across the noggin if the need should arrive. Do you know what this grinning feline has in common with a raven or a writing desk?  No? Well, perhaps if you have him for your own, you shall someday tell me.
