How do I put an if clause into a bit of code to basically say, if it exists then do this

I have some objects which I want delete and then recreate, however if the user has already deleted the object and it no longer exists then it gives me an error.

Code:
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Donut1").Delete
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Donut2").Delete
 
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeDonut, 42, 1836, 20, 18).Select
Selection.ShapeRange.Name = "Donut1"
    Selection.Name = "Donut1"
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeDonut, 65, 1836, 20, 18).Select
Selection.ShapeRange.Name = "Donut2"
    Selection.Name = "Donut2"
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Try this

Code:
On Error Resume Next
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Donut1").Delete
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Donut2").Delete
On Error GoTo 0

Thanks,

Knew it was On Error something, but didn't know where each bit had to go. Works a treat
