Be strong and courageous

Hey everyone! I hope your week went smoothly. Mine is definitely a lot better now that I finished all of my tests and projects.  Even though it was pretty rough, I had some pretty neat things happened! After my sport management test on Monday my professor told me after reading my resume (we had to turn in our resumes for an assignment), she was so intrigued with my blog that she looked it up! We talked a little about the possibilities I have with my bkrafty business! It was so so awesome. She was so encouraging. It honestly made my day! Thank you, Dr. Sparvero! It really reminded me to keep my head up and embrace the possibilities I have with my business in the future.

deuteronomy 31:6 canvas

This canvas in particular has a great message! This verse is a great reminder that God will be with you in every one of your battles. I painted it for my friend Rona, who is a new Theta this year! Thank you so much!
Have a great weekend y'all!

Goodbye school, hello SUMMER

It feels so great to be home. I have barely been here 3 days and I have already been working on/finished around 7 canvases! Most of them are graduation gifts! For the time being, I'll show y'all what's been going on! OH, I almost forgot...IT'S SUMMER!!!!!!!!! :)

My mom and I stopped at Hopdoddy for lunch. It was the most delicious burger of my life, AND they make their own gluten free buns...I was in heaven. That's the best gluten free bread I have tasted yet! Oh right- mom wanted to see the Kendra Scott store, so we went! I got her some white Elle earrings, and she bought me a turquoise pair as a congratulations on finishing the school year!

 

 REUNITED! We were so so so excited to watch SVU that we decided to rock the bun. I love these two so stinkin' much!

Here's a verse I did for Allyson, the sweet lady who is always the the front desk of Hardin. She has been so helpful all school year- through meningitis, gluten and lactose allergies, and supporting my little business. She always wants to see my stuff when I make new things! It makes me so happy. 

This is a set of 3 12x12 canvases I did for my friend Emily. My room looked like Ke$ha stormed through it afterwards, but I was really happy with the way they turned out. To be honest, they look way better in person because it's hard to see the glitter on each individual canvas in the picture. Natural lighting makes them look great! Thanks so much Emily! I was more than happy to use these as a study break for finals.

Lilly LOVE!

One of my best friends named Lily goes to Stephen F. Austin and is a Delta Zeta! She wanted to do a little something special for her big, so she asked me to make a canvas with 1 Corinthians 13:13 on it. I thought since it's for her big I would do a canvas inspired by the Lilly Pulitzer Delta Zeta print! I'm SO happy with the way it turned out! I can't wait for you to give it to her, Lily!!!

Here's a few pictures of the canvas before I did the Bible verse.

Here's the final product!! This verse is so beautiful. It's such a sweet message! Lilly Pulitzer has the cutest prints. I can't wait to try some of her other ones! Love y'all!

Happy Birthday to ME!

Hello wonderful readers! Yesterday I celebrated my birthday back home with my family and my wonderful friend Erika (her name is probably in every other post by now!) A bunch of her friends at SHSU ordered canvas from me, and this is us in mid delivery process)

I absolutely LOVE her. It was the best present to see her on my birthday!

 It was such an awesome weekend with so many great things happening. First off, on Friday night, the sweetest girl Emily Puig texted me and told me she got into UT! Then about 15 minutes later, I ran into her! It was definitely a God thing. I was so happy to see her, and we got a picture to savor the moment...it's not the best quality, but oh well!

Then my family went a beautiful wedding for Andrew and Bridie Chaudior! I snapped a few pictures throughout the night and wanted to share them with you!

Sunday was my birthday, and it was a very busy day! I had breakfast/brunch with Erika, my mom, and my grandma (aka Mamaw) at La Madeline...which was absolutely delicious. I flew back to ATX later that afternoon and had a birthday dinner with some friends!

Look at that beautiful longhorn!

TURQUOISE

Oh and check out this creation while you're at it! I am absolutely obsessed with turquoise, so I had a hard time giving this one away! I'm actually redoing my room at home with a turquoise, gold/yellow, and tan theme.

Proverbs 3:5 for Hannah!

God's Love

Yesterday I finished this zebra print and hot pink canvas for Taylor, another friend of Erika's. This verse is definitely one of my favorites. I remember I wrote it down after my dad was diagnosed with skin cancer, and it really helped give me peace.

 

This canvas is for my suite mate, Dani! She saw the one I made for Priscilla and liked it, so I made her one with similar designs. I love the colors and how the letting turned out!
