Thankful

Happy Sunday Everyone!

I posted this on my Instagram account this week, but I know I need to share it on my blog as well. Two canvases of mine have been featured this week on the popular page of Pinterest and Daily Bible Verse on Instagram, both with Deuteronomy 31:6, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them. For the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you or forsake you." I love this verse because it gives me strength to draw out any fear by having faith in God. It is a reminder that He is with you in all that you do. I think I am going to work on painting some more versions of Deuteronomy 31:6 since these two were so popular. Who knows, maybe I will have a giveaway soon! Any thoughts? XO

Bible Verse of the Day

Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Good morning, blogging word! Here's a little inspiration for today! I made this canvas this past week for Temi, a super sweet girl who has recruited tons of Arkansas orders for me. Temi, you are awesome! I can't wait to finish your last canvas and send them your way!

How Great Thou Art

Happy Sunday, y'all! So today I'm sharing one of my latest canvases I did for Kathryn, another girl at UT! She ordered it from me for Mothers Day, and I thought that was so sweet. I don't think it's a secret that I LOVE this print, and I am always down to paint it. After I posted it on my Instagram account, one of my good friends from high school texted me saying that she made the picture the background on her phone. I was so honored! That sounds a little cheesy, but it really did make me smile (thank you Veronica!)

This weekend I went to see my friend Kaitlin, and her mom was so excited to learn about my painting hobby. Kaitlin has a dresser that she wants painted in a fun, colorful design, so I'm going to paint it for her! Watch out y'all. New product line coming through. Seriously though, I am going to have WAY too much fun with this.

That's all for now, but keep checking my ETSY page (link on the right side of the page) and my Instagram account (link in top righthand of page) for more canvases, coolers, and other fun things. Thank you everyone for your continued love and support!

Geaux Tigers

Hey y'all!

I recently painted two coolers for LSU spring break! I've been getting more cooler orders lately, and I love it! Here are some pictures of the coolers: 

Cooler #2: For Stacee

I painted a Houston Texans one this week, and I'm working on another LSU/Saints one right now so look back soon for more pictures!

Clear eyes. Full hearts.

Before I start, I'm doing this on my phone so the pictures won't be up until I get back to my laptop! Alright, it's no surprise that I am in love with my state. I just can't help it. I mean, Texas is a really awesome place to be! Luckily I'm not alone in this, and I got some orders from some of my fellow proud Texans. 

If you've never seen the show (or even the movie) Friday Night Lights, you're missing out. Whether you're into football or not, although after this show you will love football..trust me, you need to watch it. I promise you that you will fall in love with Coach Taylor, his awesome wife Tammy, the stories and relationships, and last but DEFINITELY not least, Tim Riggins. His famous line "Texas Forever" has inspired probably like thousands of hashtags, facebook albums, and tshirts...and it also inspired this canvas!

Before school started my dad surprised me and took my to the Dillon Panther field house. It's right outside of Austin! I almost passed out when I realized where we were. Anyway, here's a picture of the field house! I wanted to go on the field but the gate was locked and they had barbed wire around the face so I decided I better not test my luck. Hope y'all enjoy the pictures! Clear eyes. Full hearts. Can't lose.

Follow me on Pinterest!

You can now follow me on Pinterest directly from my blog! Click on the Pinterest logo in the right column and start pinning! I have a board called "bkrafty" that most of my canvases are on.

Just recently a Pinterest page called "Sorority Please" started pinning my canvases onto their craft board , and then there were hundred of repins! Then I got a notification that Ole Miss Panhellenic repinned a canvas, too. I couldn't believe it. How cool is that?! So many of my canvases were pinned from my blog and from my ETSY page as well. The most popular one was the pink Audrey Hepburn quote! Have you seen my canvases anywhere else on Pinterest? Let me know so I can thank the people for pinning them! 

Business Cards!

My brother is AWESOME, and he got me business cards for Christmas! I got to help out a little with the designs, but they were made by Unleaded Communications in Houston. I am absolutely obsessed with them, and I gave my first one out yesterday to my roommate Payton! It feels so cool having them; it makes me feel excited about the possibilities ahead. Wanna take a look at their masterpiece? Here it is!

Speaking of things ahead, I am donating some canvases to a philanthropy event at Grand Valley State University. It's a fundraiser for the Gilda's Club in Grand Rapids, MI! A Phi Sigma Sigma member named Rosemary sent me the SWEETEST message, and I can't wait to send some canvases her way to support the event! Grand Valley State has 8 sororities, so I am going to try to make one for each! They are:

Phi Sigma Sigma

Sigma Kappa

Alpha Omnicron Pi

Alpha Sigma Alpha

Alpha Sigma Tau

Delta Zeta

Gamma Phi Beta

Phi Mu

Look back soon for more pictures, but I have a lot to catch y'all up on!

XOXO
