Monster T-Shirts

Those of you who have followed Wonderful Wonderblog for awhile know that I used to post my Halloween T-shirts. I didn't get any new ones this year, but I found a couple of old ones in the attic. 

Hmmm....they must have shrunk while they were in storage. Oh well, they're still nice to look at.
