Here is what Nola got for Christmas! Nola knew she wanted to put more fitness into her routine. Nola got a skating outfit! She skated as a child and a new skating rink opened in the area!
Here is Nola in her skating outfit. She got it as a Christmas gift from a friend.
Her outfit includes a jacket with a scarf and mittens with kitten faces.
American Girl Winter Skating outfit was just the right size for Nola! She wears the head band as a scarf.
This is my Isabela doll. She is a hybrid of the Disney store body with the Jakks head. In combining the two dolls there are some differences. First, the Jakks doll doesn't have the side glancing eyes. That is why I chose that head. The Disney doll is articulated and why I decided on that body. There isn't too much difference between the two dolls as far as complexion goes, but the bodies are a little different. The Hasbro doll is smaller. It is harder to put the Hasbro dress on the Disney body. Both bodies are larger than Barbie dolls. The body, head, hands, and feet are larger also.
One of the challenges with a doll that is not Barbie size is finding clothes and shoes. Sometimes it's a matter of trying on everything you have to find some outfits and sometimes you have to buy things that will give them a look. I purchased this sweater on Etsy and the skirt is Barbie. The shoes are Ken doll deck sneakers.
Founded in 1995 by Percy Newsum,
Integrity Toys is a family-owned business based in Chesapeake City, Maryland. With the absolute lack of diversity in the doll industry at the time, Percy’s dream was to build a company that would display a balance, showing respect and appreciation to all cultures. His innovation in the industry did not only help children develop self-love but also fostered respect and understanding for all ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds.
In 2000, with the exceptional collaboration of Integrity Toys very first Creative Director and Designer “Jason Wu” along with the design team, Integrity Toys welcomed its first “collectible” collection and its Fashion Royalty concept.

I want to apologize for not posting much in the past month but I had some family issues that I had to address. I was only able to post a few pictures on FB. My blog needs more attention than that. I hope to do that now.
