Gig 'em

Last week I delivered my first A&M cooler! I also got to send an A&M themed canvas to Amanda for a gift! There was a whole lot of maroon going on around here. It was really fun to decorate those two items! Let's take a look at what I created this time:

Hope y'all like them!

10,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOO WOO WOO

B KRAFTY HAS HIT 10,000 VIEWS!

I am so so so excited to be able to post about the new marker in my blog's little lifetime. I haven't had a chance to post anything for a while because I have been away at camp, but when I got on today to check my blog's stats, it had hit over 10,000 views!! What a surprise. This summer has been so amazing. I couldn't ask for better friends and family! They have all been so supportive of my little business and encouraged me to keep painting and posting about it. So many friends have asked me for orders of graduation gifts, so here they are!

From Texas to Hawaii

Just a quick post to show you some more graduation canvases I made this month. It was been jam packed with these orders, and I couldn't be happier. I just got back from Hawaii and am a counselor at camp now. Going to be a great month! 

Just Bringing Art

A few weeks back a great friend of mine named Tory had me paint two canvases for her best friends' graduation gifts. It turns out that one of the girls loved her canvas (YAY!) so much that she wanted me to paint one for her boyfriend. He is in a band called Just Bringing Art, and she thought it would be cool if I painted their logo on a canvas. She's such a good girlfriend! I hope he loved it.

8000 Views and Summertime News

Summer has been off to a good start so far. I went to Heart o' the Hills for my counselor orientation, got to see my big brother graduate from Texas Tech, saw so much family that I hadn't seen in way too long!, painted big orders of graduation gifts--and still have more coming! (Kat that's you!), hung out with my best friends, gone country dancing one night, been on about 5 flights, finished an online class, and just had a blast during every second of it. It's been pretty busy over here, but that's the fun part!

TECH GRADUATION!

 Some of my awesome fellow counselors at the Heart! We got a night off, so we were pretty happy!

My parents (and family in the background) all excited to be at graduation

I had an order for one of my close family friends. She and her mom have been in the process of redoing her room, and asked me if I could make a few canvases with her monogram and one with her favorite Bible verse, Jeremiah 29:11. It's funny because the color scheme she picked is the one my mom and I used to redo my room this past year! Here's what they turned out like:

After I finished those, I had another order from her older brother! He asked me to make this canvas for a friend's birthday. I love making stuff for guys because they are so funny when they describe what they want, and then they are COMPLETELY amazed when you finish it. It was so rewarding seeing how impressed he was with it! Thanks, bud!! I hope the gift is a hit!

Thanks so much you guys for supporting me. It's hard to believe I have 8,000 views! My brother keeps telling me I need to look into getting sponsored, but I don't know the first thing about that. If anyone has any details on that, let me know. I think that'd be so fun! 

Graduation Time!

This month has been jam-packed with graduation gifts, and I am loving it. It's been a lot of hard work, but it is also really exciting to make canvases with themes for different universities all over! A sweet girl from my old high school ordered about 15 canvases for her friends as graduation gifts, and they turned out pretty nicely if I do say so myself!! There are some Texas flags, the state of Texas, monograms, chevron prints, and just simple canvases with their names on them. I put them on my Facebook page, but I haven't uploaded any on my blog, yet. I hope y'all love them!! 

May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

This one goes out to all you dog lovers out there! My brother gave me our dog Johnny for my 13th birthday, and he is my favorite thing on the planet! Here's a canvas I did for a friend's birthday! (I snuck in a few pictures of Johnny, too. I couldn't resist.)

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.
