A shirt as cute as you make it

A shirt as cute as you make it
I know there's not really a shortage of big bro/sis shirts or birthday number shirts out there, so it shouldn't be hard to track down at least one that I love. But alas, I'm picky.

So when given the option of creating my very own thanks to the folks at Simply Colors, I couldn't refuse. Along with a plethora of cool shirts, they've got hoodies, polos (pictured), even dresses, all made in a soft, sturdy 100% cotton that you can customize with the text and font of your choice.

For an extra few bucks, you can get Glow-in-the-Dark printing, which is especially great for Halloween. You do realize it's less than 2 months away and counting, right? Just checking. -Kristen
