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!

Baylor Bears

Before I left for Austin I made one of my camp friends a canvas with Baylor colors and her monogram on it, and since today is her first day of classes i thought it would be a perfect time to post it! We always instagram pictures of crafts and stuff, so it was cool getting to make her something, too. Good luck on your freshman year Meghan I know you're going to have a blast!!

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! 

Morgan's birthday!

A few weeks ago it was my awesome roommate Morgan's birthday!! I totally meant to post this then, but we were having so much fun with Texas Round Up, The Hunger Games premiere, and Theta Pancake Party!! I made her a cross to hang up in our room, and she loved it!

Me and Morgan!

Psalms 71:14

As y'all know, some of my favorite colors are turquoise, light blue, and white...but I absolutely LOVE gold. Especially when paired together! This week I painted a canvas for my friend Allyson, and I got to use all of those colors together!

Hope y'all like it!

Spring Break = LOVE

I cannot stress to you how amazing my Spring Break was! The week before I had 4 midterms/exams in just TWO days, and I was over my head in notes, printed google docs, study guides, and notecards. I think I was one more soy chai latte from calling it quits, but during my study breaks I painted to help me relax...take a look at what I did!

Not the final product, but I made a Texas Tech double T for  Anna! My dad was so proud.

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!

3000!!

Oh my word....within a month b.krafty has gotten 1000 views (it's over 3000 now!!!)! That's incredible. I can't believe it. Thank you everyone for encouraging me to start this and to make it what is has turned in to! Today my parents came up to visit me, and they took some of the canvases I made back home so they could be delivered! I had so many in my dorm it was AWESOME. In fact, I think I had some that I hadn't even posted on here, yet.

I thought this picture was perfect for the occasion! I made it for my dorm room. It's one of my favorite quotes!

Love, Bethany

2500!!

WOW! I am speechless. We already reached 2500 views! Seriously guys, when I first started posting I never thought anyone outside my immediate family would want to look at my blog, but this is unreal! Thank you SO much for giving me motivation to keep going with the thing that makes me feel the most connected to the Lord and what makes my heart sing. This weekend is going to  be filled with fun designs: zebra print, crayon art, and some more sorority canvases! I can hardly wait. I thought this canvas is perfect for the occasion:

Love y'all!

Sorority Love

It's been a while since I made any sorority artwork, so I was SO excited when my friend Hannah asked me to make her this adorable Alpha Delta Pi canvas! In case you can't tell from the photo, the letters are  covered in glitter..(which I LOVE)! My roommate is also an ADPi, and she wants me to make her one, too! I'll make sure to upload that one when I finish, too. I like to make each canvas have an element that are unique, so I added some dark blue detail to the crown! Love you Hannah! thanks for letting me make you this...I adore it.

I also made this Chi Omega canvas just for fun! I just love their colors together..especially the gold glitter. If you want it, let me know! 

BIble Verses

Last week one of my best friends Erika Fernandez asked me to make her a little something for her dorm room with one of her favorite Bible Verses, James 1:5-6. I was a little nervous at first because it's a longer verse, but it's a great one! I used jewel tones, metallics like silver and gold to make it really pop, and even glitter! Here's what the final product looks like:

She set me a picture of it hanging on her wall yesterday, and it looks GREAT! If anyone wants one let me know!!

2012!

HAPPY 2012 EVERYBODY!

Better eat some black eyed peas and celery. Hop on one foot and all that jazz because today is the first day of a new year! 2011brought a lot of surprises, so I can only imagine what 2012 has in store. After going by Christina Williams Designs yesterday, I have two more projects!  By the way...you should go check out her Facebook page! It's awesome. Here's the canvas that I finished today: 

More to come! Happy New Year, y'all!
