Little skaters
The girls love Saturday skating lessons.
Carpe diem! Finally got a moment to take a doll photo. Been a tough week, another bad one to come.
I am a huge fan of ice skating and skating outfits for dolls. I have a bunch of them. I once set up a skating diorama for Barbie and Skipper, but I took the easy way out for Betsy and printed a background on 2 normal pieces of printer paper and glued them together. I imported a photo into Microsoft Publisher and split it into 2 sheets, printed, and glued them on the seam. I printed about the bottom 1/3 as the ice so I could curve it under Betsy's feet. Turned out pretty good! Now my dolls can have ice time whenever they want it. Makes me want to go skating. :)
