Here she is! My first Dotee Doll. Isn't she just too cute?! I had a blast making her, trying out the beading and sequins. I wanted her to look like she was wearing a fab beaded hat! I will had a bit of blush to her cheeks before I mail it out. Just to add a bit of color. And her lashes look a bit Tammy Fayeish but still cute for the first time out. So on to the Wonderful World of Dotee Dolls, wondering what a Dotee Doll is? Well here is the creator of this sweet craze...Dot @ Dot's Life and Art! Once you get to Dot's blog, you must read up on how she came about making the Dotee Doll. And how many people it has touched in the process.
I joined a online swap site and found Dot's blog that way. Seeing all her creations really inspired me to step out of my normal crafting realm and try something really different! This wonderful little gem is for a swap called...Valentine Dotee Doll Swap. The doll had to have a least one heart on her. As you can see I have done more than one heart! Hearts Galore is her name.
In each swap you have a partner whom you send out to, then you have one you receive from. Each of those are completely different people. Who you send to is not who you receive from. Tricky I know...but thank goodness the computer does the picking!
The person I received from is a wonderful woman by the name of (her online name) Emerald Touch, Charly (her real name). She made this fab Valentine Dotee Doll for me! Isn't she precious, and because she read my profile she knew I collected Crowns and Tiaras. So, Emerald Touch, Charly, added one accordingly.
With much love,

Hi Robyn
Many thanks for visiting my blog today and for your lovely comments!And for mentioning me on your blog too (you are a sweetheart).
I ADORE your Dotee dolls. And the lips on your first one made me smile (she is very beautiful).
Hearts Galore Dotee is so beautiful. Love her heart shaped body. Would love to do a one on one swap with you if you are interested!
Hugs (of the Dotee doll kind)

I meant to say that the Valentines doll Charly made is fantastic - what a clever, clever idea!!
I'm still laughing. No really, out loud. I clicked on the link and was laughing harder. Oh my God, they're adorable! I have to go back and read, but just wanted you to know how much I enjoy this one. And honey, I still can't access your email. If you communicate with Der K tell him I miss him and will write as soon as my wacky CA friend get's her S*** together.
I'm going to make a doll. I want to be in the loop. Tell me how. And hearts. Oh-My-God...I sign everything with a heart.

Hi Robyn,
Your husband Jim and I have something in common. We're both in love with the same woman!
You are fantastic. Your comments at my Blog inspire me to work hard. I am delighted that both you and Jim are enjoying my site, and I can't wait for you to read my new book (when it is done of course).
Thanks again to both you and Jim for your support.
And Robyn, read William Shatner's book. If you don't like it, I'll buy your copy from you. You have the same sense of humor as me, so I know you'll love it. Hey, a money back guarantee on someone else's book. How did that happen?
Chat soon and often,
Brian (soon to be famous)

robyn,
Hi! It's me--still sitting here looking at your lampshades! It seems everyday I get some time to go to the post office we have a huge blizzard and the roads become un-drivable for the next week.
I promise I haven't forgotten about you! I have, however, misplaced your address. Could you send it to me again? zbug1@msn.com.
Come on by and enter my giveaway too if you'd like.
Your little hearts are adorable by the way !
Hey Brian, You're killin' me.
Robyn, I'm trying to type this with a kitty on my wrist. Not easy. I think I've typed this sentence 5 or 6 times and am still having trouble.
Ohno has almost doubled in size in the past few days. I think the dunk in the fish tank did something. How or why? Who knows, but he's bigger. He's no longer a baby, he's a real kitty! I look at him and think "What in the hell happened!" Apparently, something.
Honey, Dek wrote (what a sweetie). I can't access your emails. I'll try again tonight, but for some reason I'm having problems. We're so close, yet so far!!!
Love you sweetie ~ we'll chat as soon as you get your a** over to my blog.
XO Suzanne :)
Hi Robyn,
I love the dotee doll. It is very cute. I think you would have a lot in common with one of my dear friends and probably would enjoy her site and links on her site. Check out www.splendiddesign.blogspot.com. There is a link to her on my page. Jeanetta is a very talented artist and she does many crafts. I think you would very much enjoy ideas from her blog.
These are cute. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Aren't those dotee dolls wonderful! I have yet to make one myself (am I behind the times or what! lol) but am addicted to the shining personality of Dot herself (much like anyone who may cross her path). What a fun blog you have here Robyn! I'm delighted you are joining us for the pink artists project. Welcome! :) Please be sure to have the square to me by March 1. I can't wait to see what you create. Truly I'm honored to be working with each and everyone of you on this, OUR project. xo, Monica
