I'm not sure what happened to ITAM 2012. I mean, there was
ITAM 2010, and
ITAM 2011 was featured not once, but
twice here on MY&E.
But this year? This July? Nothing. Nada. Zilch. International T-Shirt Appreciation Month was not publicly celebrated. I thought maybe I was in error, maybe ITAM was actually August? But no. No. ITAM is held each year in
July.
Regardless of the late date, I feel the need to share.
ESPECIALLY after seeing Jacquie yesterday. I simply
must. But I'm saving that best part until
last.
2012 has been kind to our family in terms of new T shirts.
 |
| First we have the Breakers All Star 2012 T shirt |
 |
| With all team members featured proudly on the back. See my girl over there in the far left 8U team? |
 |
| And going back to early November, this past year's Dia de los Muertos shirt, created by one of the school's 7th grade students. Love that event. |
 |
| Ooh, and back a little farther. Just after last year's ITAM, I got a hold of this beauty. Love my Ben. |
 |
| This is a very recent addition, belonging to my youngest. It's a PLAN fundraiser T shirt, supporting their campaign to fight gender inequality and promote girls rights worldwide. |
 |
| Because, well, because she is a girl. And so is her sister, and her other sister, and her mom, and her cousin, etc., etc., etc. |
 |
| Speaking of girl power.... How about those 8U Breakers, making it all the way to 'States'?! Held in beautiful Lancaster, CA. Coolest thing about this T shirt? It glows in the dark. |
 |
| Go girl! |
 |
| Oh, plus it has every girl from all 141 teams who participated listed on the back. |
All awesome indeed. But are you ready? Ready for the finale? For the favorite of all favorites, which technically isn't a T shirt, but which will, precisely because it's not a T shirt but instead a source of warmth and comfort, be worn much, much more often??
Brace yourself......
Ready???
 |
| Whoot. whoot!! A Dutch Tavern hoodie of my very own! |
 |
| I can hardly believe my good fortune. My girls totally enjoyed the happy dance that ensued when Jacquie bestowed it upon me. And I'm clearly still elated. Thanks, Jacq! |
Until next year..........

Awesome! Jacquie texted me last night, "Beth literally jumped for joy when she got her sweatshirt." I love it!
And yeah, I know what you mean about the lameness of the ITAM organizers this year. I emailed them, asking what was up, but got no response. They were probably too busy getting loaded or something. I'm *sure* they'll be back in business next year.
Love!
Ellie
OMG, I love you. Rocking the Dutch hoodie, so happy to bring you such joy!
