An Adorable (Magnetic) Accomplishment!

And an alliteration to boot...
My mom visits this site called One Pretty Thing, a dailky round up of pretty things found online in various and sundry categories. The other day she found this adorable tutorial for magnetic dress up dolls on One Pearl Button. A-DORABLE!

My immediate thought was "I want that for Allison" followed almost immediatly by "What a great church/car/airplane toy!" As luck would have it I happen to need airplane toys, and have nothing but time on my hands in the evenings now that all of my worldly possessions are on a 53 foot semi headed for Syracuse.

I followed her directions pretty close and heres how they turned out...



Love it, love it, love it. And hey look... thats one thing marked off my "Wanna Do" list. Maybe someday I really will conquer it. Maybe.

Those are adorable! The perfect gift for my niece's birthday next month.

A couple of questions:
1 - are they super small, or is the size just right?
2 - Was it expensive to print out each page in color?

if you print preview the little Betsy McCall pages in Internet explorer you can choose shrink to fit the page. That makes them the perfect size. Expensive to print... I don't know... I used my mom's printer. But it was just 10 sheets on the color printer, standard mode. I thought they printed well enough to not require photo mode printing.

I hope I answered your size question... the tin I have them in is a gift card tin...
