Description:

First there was Flat Stanley, then the Roaming Gnome--Now Virtual Vacationing Dotees!

Make a Dotee doll of yourself and send him/her to your partner who will then take him/her on a tour of their hometown, or, if they happen to be going on vacation--even better--take him/her along and take pictures in interesting places, with interesting people.

No huge photography session necessary, 2-3 pictures will suffice

I discovered Inkjet Fabric sheets at Wal-Mart, JoAnns etc, and you can print a photo of your own face to sew onto the dotee if you like.

They don't have to be photographic, just self-portrait-like.

1 dotee doll, one partner.

The pictures can be posted in Flickr, etc, or sent by e-mail, or the post back to the real you.

The rating will come from the dotee, and just additional fun from the pictures. Communicate with your partners about the "vacation" and when the pics will be coming back either electronically or by the mail.

Newbie swappers with full profiles are welcome if they write me first. No no sends, and a rating of 4.8+ required.

Google Dotee Dolls if you don't know what they are. They are simple and easy to make and lightweight to mail.

Write me with any questions.

If my partner gets it to me before the deadline, their dotee can go to camp.

Since we are making self-portraits, we can start making it and be ready to mail as soon as you get your partner on May 3rd!

will we get our dotees back?

TraySeeH 04/22/2008 #

We are just sending the photos back not the dotee is this correct?

We are just sending the pictures back. You'll keep the dotee of your sending partner--unless you make some private arrangement to get them back. At this point, there are only 5 of us, so if we all want to get our dotees back, I can edit the swap details, but it must be unanimous! post here or PM me if you want yours back with the pics.

I think that it would be neat to send the Dotees back after their virtual vacation. I hope that my 'partner' arrives to me before June 10th - because I have a very special trip planned (if not the 'virtual' trip will have to wait until the 1st of July). =)

I have only heard votes on returning the dotees from a couple of people and tomorrow I assign partners, so if you have an opinion, let me know soon!
