Here it is, y'all! My Saints cooler that I did for an order this week! I slaved over this baby and two other coolers, but it was so worth it. My other two were Texans themed, so i'm going to save that post for Sunday because I'm going to the game!! *AHHH* I hope y'all like it!

From Texas with Love

Recently I got an email from a Melissa in California who requested a personalized Texas flag canvas! The best part? She lives in Cali! It was a present for her Dad! I thought it was so awesome that someone who is now in California still wanted to be connected to their Texas roots!

Then of course I have to post something about the TEXANS because they clinched the AFC South Division Title for the second year in a row!!! I made my mom go with me to get the t-shirts as soon as they hit stores. They already sold out on line. I really wish I could go to the game against Minnesota this Sunday, but my old high school's football is playing in the District 5A State Championship for the first time EVER in Dallas on Saturday night!!

santa came early to our house!

Like I mentioned above, my old high school is going to state!! When I heard Lamar won the playoff game, my mom and I went over to my friend Audrey's house (she's one of my close family friends and a varsity cheerleader!) and decorated their doorway with lots of goodies!! When I was at Lamar, I was her older brother's football buddy when I was a cheerleader! So we joked that now I'm just her cheer buddy. I'm so excited for her and for the team!! Love you Audrey!

LAMAR IS GOING TO STATE!

Audrey and me!

in the spirit of this weekend's events I thought I would post a little throwback to senior year!

once a redskin, always a redskin! go lamar!

Lots of red white and blue this week, LOVE IT! Good luck at STATE, Lamar! Go Skins!

ps. I'll be posting some coolers soon! Get excited!

Texas Zeta Initiation

A few weeks ago was Zeta Initiation! Two of my friends asked me to paint their crowns for their littles. It was so much fun! I love their colors, and I was so excited to help them out!

I had painted this canvas for Rachel (for her little) earlier this semester, so she wanted her little's crown to have the same sort of theme on it.

I literally love these colors together so much that I wanted to keep this one! Thank you Rachel!!

I did both of the crowns above and the bulletin board! 

Hope y'all like the stuff! Thank you Rachel and Caroline for giving me the opportunity to paint for y'all!

Just a note

Hey everyone! So today I wanted to note on one thing specifically. Please do not send requests for me to paint works like prints or canvases on Pinterest or Etsy done by other artists. It is unfair to them, and it puts me in a very awkward position. Though I do love the pictures people have previously sent, they should be created by the original artist! It can be very discouraging to have your work copied, so instead of asking me to do it, I would love to support their creations by telling you this: If you see something you like on Pinterest that you just have to have, follow the link to the blog or site it comes from and talk to the artist there. It's the right thing to do! You can send me pictures as an example of a verse or color scheme, but I do not want to copy someone else's work. Thank you!

Theta LOVE!

This post is specifically dedicated to one of my roomies: MEGAN!

birthday girl!

Today is her birthday, and I am SO sad I am not with her! She is a Theta with me, and I bought her lots of Theta goodies from my favorite greek store Melissa's Custom Gifts on the Drag. It's such a cute place!! I also decided to paint this canvas for our apartment:

a funky paisley theta canvas for my apartment

All of the apartment is back home for Thanksgiving, and she is on her way back to her native homeland in Alaska. Okay, Minnesota. We joke that she should just say she is from Canada because no one here actually knows where Minnesota is whenever she tells them that's where she is from. Anyway! We kicked off her birthday weekend with SAE jungle! Then on Saturday I got her some Austin Cake Balls -pumpkin flavored was a must for Megan- from A Christmas Affair. Then Saturday David came up to ATX (YAY!) and we all hung out together! Have an awesome birthday Megan!!

Ps. I made her a few presents for birthday weekend! One was a baby blue monogrammed canvas.

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!
