@Sally- Good plan, its always really stressfull when you've gotten over excited and signed up for too many swaps!
@Gnomes- Dotees are nearly always hand sewn items- and the great thing about them is that they dont have to be perfect AT ALL, they are totally beginner friendly! So I hope you reconsider
No other takers this year? ^__^
****This swap is now closed and partners have been posted****
Christmas Dotee Swap! YAY! ^__^
Dotee Dolls are usually about 3-7 inches tall, they have a loop at the top so they can be hung up (in this case- on the christmas tree!), and they usually have a beaded tail.
If you’ve not heard of Dotees before, here are some good resources to find out more information and for inspiration too!

My package from Sandy arrived today! She sent me, a lovely silhouette/doily hand mirror, a drop style necklace, the chain is very short so it looks like a dainty little choker when worn, also cute little pouch! I love the combination on black fabric and white lace, looks awesome! I also got some black dangly earrings which I will be wearing all the time, so my style! And a couple of hair clips made from embroidered buttons- Thanks for a great swap Sandy!

Oh I also got some stash- the fabric that is laid out in the below pictures is from sandy and in the second picture you can see she sent me woodland stickers and some lovely beads and embellishments, all of a woodland kind of theme ^__^ LOVE.

What did she make you Suzy?
That'd be great Monika
I'll PM you now!
Hey Folks-
Would anyone be able to send me some USA Halloween candy?
We don't have candy corn here, but i'd love to get a bag of that to share with friends for a horror movie night (I heard M&M's do Candy Corn flavoured ones at halloween!?) and any US halloween classic candies. I'd be more than happy to trade for the equivilent weight in English sweets (hallween or non halloween themed).
The swapper would have to be able to send out by the end of this week max so it arrives in time!
^__^
Oh yay, I'm glad it arrived safely, I was getting worried as packages don't normall take longer than a week- even to Oz. Glad you liked everything- I was really proud of the Dino pendant! Cant wait to receive yours and see what everyone else made
Just checking in with Sandy- I sent mine out over a week ago so should be with her now...any news Sandy?
I'll sign up as a Vet again!
