Elmo Craft

Tickle me again!  *shudder*... it was cute the first time, but after the 9,000,000th it was enough to drive any mommy over the edge (the girls never tire of it though!).  I think I can finally look at Elmo again without having giggle flashbacks.  "Sonja" obviously has stronger nerves than I, as she is the one who requested this craft for her son who "would just LOVE to do Elmo".  Here you go Sonja...
