I'll take you in my backpack

6/5/10 My t-shirt collection continues to expand. Today I was able to score to beautiful numbers. The first is a classy panda t shirt that says "these animals are good tree climbers" on the front and on the back. The other one has a pretty bow and some other graphics and on the back it says "starts a revolution because of the shine..." I know, fantastic! I'm just doing my part to fit in over here!

One of these bad boys is bound for one of you blog readers...but that will just have to be a fun surprise! I expect pictures in your t shirts (to those who I have already sent them and to those who will receive them!) It's hard but so...
