I've changed the sign-up date and made the send-by date Cheryl's birthday so this can really be a celebration of her life.

I would like to host my last dotee doll swap in memory of our beloved friend, @CherylLaVon She loved these little dolls. This is for experienced swappers who may or may not be new to making art dolls.

You tube link on how-to make

Make her a face; embroidered with floss, press mold clay, needle felted. Just please... no marker/drawn on faces.

She'll need a stuffed cloth body.

She'll need some sort of hanger so she can be hung up & displayed like an ornament.

She'll need a tail. Usually it's a beaded one, a few inches in length.

Dotee body should be 2-6" in length.

Please name your doll and make (optional) birth certificate.

Sender's choice. You do not have to look at your partner's profile for likes/dislikes as you are left to your own creativity, but feel free to do so.

One doll to one partner.

Dotee themes include but are not limited to: seasonal/holiday, beach, domestic Goddess, haunted, mini me, stripes, polka dots, flapper, baby, animal, pajamas, apron, Native American/nationality, color themes, with a heart, quilted, hat, tea time, garden, goth, couch potato, fairy, cupcake, gypsy, pirate, mommy & baby, button, celestial, mermaid, belly dancer, lady of the night, favorite character.

Beginners welcome! No Newbies. No recent/unexplained no-sends. Thoughtful, reliable swappers who have the courtesy and time to follow thru only! No exceptions! I reserve the right to ban

Please be kind and include your swapbot username and the name of the swap so you can easily be rated properly. Non raters will be listed as such.

Flakers will be listed in the forums as such & unwelcome in future swaps. When I get flakers & swaplifters in my swaps it makes me mad because these are my friends. Flakers, no accounts and the like are not. Don't flake on my friends!

Please PM your partner if you are sending late. It's called common courtesy. I look forward to having you be a part of my swaps. If you have been flaked/not received and need an angel, please go rate your partner a 1- no send then come to me. I will no longer angel swaps that aren't rated appropriately in a timely manner. Thanks for your understanding.

Important points...

Come join the fun! Be a swap friend! Let's remember Cheryl! The idea is to have fun here! Do not criticize someone's work unless they specifically ask you for your opinion. This is for fun, only! HAVE FUN! Remember the life of Cheryl. She brought so much joy, humor & friendship to us! Thanks!
