Unforgettable Skating Memories of Jamie

I hope you all enjoy these photos of my daughter Jamie in some of her skating outfits. Those days are truly memorable as I made most of her costumes, drove her to lessons and competitions, and was probably the loudest cheering Mom in the stands. We had great times during the many many competitions all across Canada until her "career" ended because of "crooked" feet. Alas, when she was trying to do the axel, she landed on her knees too often and that was that. However, we look back with fondness and pride for all her accomplishments, both in skill and artistic endeavours. I am so proud of her!

Jamie's first experience on ice at the Ladner Ice Arena in 1979, age 3, with Daddy trying to keep up to her.















I made Jamie's first little skating outfit and she thought she was the queen of ice-skating at her first real lessons, age 5.














This was her costume for the Ice Carnival in 1984, age 7. I think it had something to do with New Orleans.















In 1985, at age 8, Jamie starred in "Give Our Regards to Broadway."
















Jamie was extremely proud to receive the Silver Medal in Pre-Juvenile Girls at age 9 plus the Junior Artistic Trophy!














Here she is posing before the Huntsville, Ontario, competition where she ended up 4th in Juvenile Girls, age 10.
















And finally, with her dance partner in Ontario, age 10.
