A Forever Peanuts Fan & My Favorite “Quick-Sew-To-Go” Dress Pattern

Hi All! Are any of you fans of Charlie Brown and the whole Peanuts gang? I am! Ever since I was a little girl, I've grown up loving Peanuts. I've read all the comics, and I've spent countless hours in front of the tv watching any and every Peanuts cartoon and movie special. I was…
