Oh, Betty!

I'm so excited about this week's theme at The Butterfly Effect. It was chosen by one of the participants, Andrea, and it's all about paper dolls! :) 

When I think of paper dolls first thing I remember is my collection of paper dolls when I was little. It was all the rage when I was growing up and I remember buying magazines that had paper dolls at the back to cut out.

And then one of my friends that was a bit older than me, decided to stop collecting them and gave half of the collection to me and the other half to another friend of ours. I was ecstactic! All those paper dolls! :))

Sadly I have none to show because I threw them away when I outgrew them. But my favorite was Betty Boop so I decided to draw her.
.Now I need to make some paper dresses for her. :)

P.S. We have snow today. I don't mind it but I wish it would stop snowing. It just keeps going. It won't stop.

Your Betty Boop looks lovely!!!! When I was a teen, I was a bit obsessed with her. I had all kinds of goodies with her image on it. I still have this rare alarm clock with her on it and also a light-up Christmas tree ornament!

Paper dolls - ah takes me back to when kids could have fun with something that wasn't plugged in and made explosive noises all over the place!! Your Betty is so sweet!

I envy you the snow. The weather here has been strangely mild for this time of year and I don't like it one little bit especially as we had snow from October last year!!

Cute drawing of Betty!! I came across some of my Barbie paper dolls in a yard sale box this summer - I couldn't bear to throw them away.

Btw, thank you so fairy much for participating in my last seasonal blog hop. I hope you'll come join the Winter Blog Hop fun, too.
