Colorful Ghost Garland
Nothing haunts us like the things we don't say.

The other day, H asked me if there were funny ghosts or if ghosts had to be spooky. I told her that ghosts came in all types, just like people. She wanted to see a picture of a funny ghost so we scrolled around Pinterest for awhile until we came upon a cross-stitch of the Pac-Man ghosts, and she decided that they looked like they "might be funny".
So this Colorful 'funny' Ghost Garland was inspired by my 'funny girl', made just in time for Day 2 of 80s Week: 80s Toys and Games! I decided to add some new ghosts to the squad and I let H pick out the names. Meet: Ghost-Ghost (white), Greeny (you guessed it), Peachy (mmmhmm), Puddle (dark blue), Flower (magenta), Star (black), and last but not least... Ryan (royal blue)!
Happy Haunting!!
