Is anyone else as excited as my kids are for the new Ghostbusters movie?? I am making them wait til it comes to DVD~lol. There is no way my 5 yr old will sit still for an entire movie in a theater! But, to keep them (him) occupied, I came up with a SUPER EASY pattern for a little ghostie pal, and his universal NO! So, set aside an hour or two, and follow me for the free pattern~ |
