SAD NEWS

A couple days ago,  "Dot", the original "Dotee" doll artist left a message that she has closed her blog.  In fact I read and viewed the last beautifully pictured art of her blog; at the end of these entries, this wonderful artist abruptly stated an end to her blog and BAM!  gone!  I am bereath and inconsolable, Dot. Your art was just so beautiful to view and I'm sorry that I didn't always say so.  That's the thing about living, sometimes you don't know how much you'll miss someone, until they leave.  Okay Dot...I am just trying to say it here on my blog (cuz I can't locate your email addy) how much I appreciate you sharing a big chunk of yourself and life.  You are beautiful and so is your art!  God bless you as you continue your journey.  YOU and your ART ROCK! 

If by some miracle, you actually read this humble blog, please email me as it would give me great pleasure to coninue communicating with you!  Until we meet again...big hugz

People, if you've never seen this woman's work, you've really missed something so special... Many of us have made these friendly little dolls, but no one puts as much beauty and soul into then as Dot does!
