having the send by date on Oct. 28th is a bit late, don't you think? Especially if senders are late or if packages arrive later than expected. It would be nice to enjoy our dotees before Halloween. Plus I doubt anybody needs 2 months to make their dotee... Just an idea!

Also, is it an international swap? the send date might need to be moved up if so.

What are the requirements? Does the face have to be crotched or can it have button eyes or similar?? Does it have to have a tail or hanger? I know these are simple questions but I want to make sure.

What is the requirement about the ratings?

Justmeth81 06/17/2008 #

Thought of one more ~ What is the size requirements? How big or small do they need to be??

TerryF 06/18/2008 #

From my experience, Dotee dolls are small enough to hold in your hand (4-6"), plus have a tail and a hanger.

Faces can usually be made any way you like - I have seen them made from with painted clay or fabric or buttons, charms, embroidered on felt or other fabric, painted directly on the body fabric, beaded, stamped, etc., so crocheted should also qualify.

Hope this helps. However, having said all of the above, it is happydollmaker's swap, so she may have different requirements.

I'm back! I had to opt out since I had too many swaps I wanted to be in at the same time and had reached my maximum of 5 swaps. Sort of a pain but at least I found my way back to rejoin:)

I need to drop out of the swap and don't see a button or place to do this since Swap-bot has changed format!!!! Could somebody please help me?

I see you have a lot signed up for your swap. I hope you don't mind but because of the expense of postage and everything else for that matter I decided to do a Halloween Dotee also just for the USA and Canada. Also, the true Dotee from an Australian lady call Dot made up this precious dotee dolls with a specific look, size, face etc. They have since evolved into some really neat and cute ones, with all kinds of faces. Hope she doesn't mind us still calling them Dotees'.

Is this international?

musicisbliss13 07/ 6/2008 #

what exactly IS a dotee..?

Santa 07/ 7/2008 #

I'd also like to drop out of this swap because we don't know about the details. Anyone knows about the coordinator? I also want to know if this is international otherwise I won't be able to participate.

I am pretty sure this one is international, but the host has not logged ins ince June 16, and is just one 1 rating away from being partially suspended.

ladydy5 07/13/2008 #

I tell ya, check out my USA and Canada - Halloween Dotee, if you still want to do one and feel apprehensive about this one.

ladydy5 07/13/2008 #

musicisbliss13, check Google, plenty of websites about her.

OT- To drop from any swap , use the "Drop from swap." on the right side of the screen at the top. It is a sentence that highlights when you skim over it and is located in a box the states "Swap member options". Hope this helps.

The host has been partially suspended.

I just signed on to swap-bot and would love to swap a Halloween Dotee with a partner. I host a lot of swaps on the HGTV board and am currently hosting a Dotee Doll swap over there. I emailed Dot to get permission before I started my swap and she gave me full approval.

Is this swap still a go since the hostess has been suspended?

quiltaholic 07/30/2008 #

I posted the above post before I went to my verification email. I just verified it and would like to join this swap. I understand it as sending 1 doll to one swapper, my partner. If I am incorrect, please correct me.

I'm dropping this. The host hasn't logged in for over a month and is particially suspended. Too risky for me.

Over on my profile page it shows that I am not in any current swaps and I have a sad face. Did I not get accepted in this swap?

quiltaholic 08/ 2/2008 #

I see the hostess is particially suspended..

I think I picked the wrong swap to join for my first try.

Please remove my name from this swap.

For those questions about Dotee dolls just google Dotee Dolls, there's many websites about them. I am having a USA - Canada only Halloween Dotee if there is someone who would like to join.
