The Adventures of Dot and Mae

Hello, Dear Readers. Today Dot and Mae want to tell you about someone who lives in the big world (not the tiny doll world that they usually tell you about). There is a little girl who has a wonderful blog and this is what her profile says about her, “I have a house. I have a playground out in my backyard. I’m Marian Goates. I’m a first grade girl and I like to make crafts. I am six years old.”

Now doesn’t that just sound wonderful by itself? But wait, there’s more! She sells her lovely handmade items on her mom’s etsy site. She makes really cool stuff and you should go check it out! But first, Dot and Mae want to show you a really cool snow-globe necklace that Marian made - and it’s recycled - and you can buy a kit to make one for yourself! How great is that?

Here is a picture of the cute little snow-globe necklace! Dot and Mae wish they could wear it - they are going to look around and see if they can find something that would work for someone who is their size. Maybe the Ewok in the Medicine cabinet can help them figure something out. Marian also sells very cute, original design, SUPERSTAR t-shirts. Here is a picture of her wearing one!

Okay, so you know you want one! Here is the link to Marian’s blog called, I’m a craft artist. You can find out more about her - she’s getting ready to have a bone marrow transplant in March - and her sister is her bone marrow donor. Dot and Mae are in awe of how tough and brave and CREATIVE these girls are! Her blog also has more of her craft work (check out the adorable acorn babies nativity - Dot and Mae really loved that!) If you want to buy a kit to make your own snow-globe necklace go to Marian’s mom’s etsy store called the Purple Petunia. She has other things too that you will like! Go to these places and look at everything - Dot and Mae are going back right now.
