My T-shirt

I figured it would be helpful to have an explanation of the things depicted on my T-shirt.

Starting on the back...
My name appears at the top in my favorite color, green! Below I am illustrated as a green person surrounded by other people, my family. At the top are my mom and dad, on the sides are my brothers and my sisters-in-law, and on the bottom is my sister. I chose to put my family on the back side of my shirt because they've always "got my back."

To the sleeves...
On one sleeve is a cross showing my faith. I am a cradle Catholic and went to Catholic elementary school, so religion is a pretty big part of my life. Underneath the cross is my birth date. 

On the other sleeve is the number 21. I chose this number because it is my boyfriend's football and baseball number, and I love watching him play!

To the front...
On the front are numerous drawings of things and activities I enjoy and are important to me. On my left side, I drew a heart. Inside it are the initials of my boyfriend and I. Jordan is a huge part of my life, so I had to include him! (He helped me come up with a lot of the other stuff to put on here!) On my right side is an orange ribbon. Orange is the "color" for leukemia, and because my sister had this type of cancer, I hold this cause very close to my heart. In my anatomically correct stomach (because I am a bio major!) is ice cream, my favorite thing to eat. Also included on the front are activities I enjoy including fishing, tennis, baseball, football, cheering for my high school, music, and my love for the Cyclones! On my right side is a ruler marking 4 feet 11 1/2 inches, my height! Being short is usually the first thing people notice about me, and I am always hearing tons of "short jokes" (especially from Brady!).

At first staring at this blank white T-shirt was intimidating. I'm not really much of an artsy person, but after I started, doing this project was actually pretty fun!
