DIY skateboards


DSC02846, originally uploaded by Our Little One.

i bought these skate boards at a yardsale last year and held on to them to give to the girls for xmas. this last year, i saved everything i got at yard sales and thrift stores to give to the girls for xmas. i ended up finding the girls some cool stuff. these boards cost a few bucks each. then i took the girls to micheals and said they could each pick out their favorite scrapbook paper for something i was making them for xmas, but didn't tell them what it was. halle picked a paper with cupcakes on it and kiki picked one with peace signs. then i cut up a hello kitty activity book i had already and modge podge it on the boards and viola...custom made skateboards! they were so happy. especially cuz james is a really great skateboarder, so they know if they practice they can get good too. and james got a board for xmas this year too....the girls have used them a lot, mostly for sitting on and riding down hills, but they are getting better at skating on them too. i have used halle's board a lot too, its actually really fun, never tried it before, but maybe us girls will get good at it this year.
