Link Up for Liam

During September, I donated two canvases to a dinner/auction that a community put on in honor of Liam. Liam Webb is a carefree and happy 3 year old boy. Liam's parents, Christian and Carli, were given the news on April 11, 2013 that their little boy was suffering from a malignant brain tumor. A member of the Webb family's community reached out to me and asked me if I would donate any canvases for the auction. There is a Facebook page where you can receive updates on this little fighter, and I believe you can make a donation through the page as well. Here's the link to the Facebook page:

I sure hope whoever bought these canvases loves them! I was asked to do an A&M and UT one, and I was honored to be asked to donate. What an incredible community for coming together to support each other.

Paddles and my awesome fam!

I am so behind on posting these!! We did our paddle reveal a few weeks back, and I am just now getting these bad boys on here. Our initiation was pretty early this year, so we did our paddles for our littles after initiation! 

grace's paddle!

gotta have some glitter

paisley, lilly roses, chevron, polo font

These were the Theta paddles I did!

grace janie me...and one of the guys from KISS

 My little Grace is AWESOME! and my big Janie is the best. Okay I may be biased, but it's true! This past weekend was Fiji 80s, and we all ran into each other so naturally we had to take a picture! I don't think my face can actually handle a smile that big. So much happiness!

my big!

just the cutest!

 I also got to paint a paddle at Melissa's (the store I have an internship with) and I am so happy I got the opportunity to do so! The order was for a Texas Alpha Xi Delta, and she had drawn out exactly what she wanted. I always find it interesting to see what other sororities do for their paddles! Some are heavy with tradition while others are more crafty. I love it!! Here's the one I painted for work:

I am SO excited about the next paddle I am doing for a camp friend! Her name is Tatum, and she is an Alpha Xi Delta at Texas State!! I'm doing the Lilly pattern, so get ready, y'all!

Hard Work

The canvas below was painted for a friend I have known since middle school, and when she told me what quote she wanted I fell in LOVE with it. I had actually never heard it before, which is surprising because I have a bit of an obsession with quotes...I may or may not have 2 full quote books and be working on a third. I thought it would be an appropriate post for the start of school! I also snuck in a fishing trophy that my older brother won this summer because I thought he would appreciate this quote , too! He keeps telling me I need to paint him something for the Houston Texans..so we 'll see what happens in the next few weeks.  

Hope you like it Bridgett! 

Back to School Festivities

Rush is finally over and classes have officially started at UT...yay school! In honor of school kicking off and summer ending (tear) I'll post some of the TEXAS canvases (finally)!!! It kinda funny because some of the canvases I made were for girls going through rush, and I ended up meeting a few of them! Some even ended up being Thetas, YAY!  Hope you like the pictures, I put some from rush up, too.

Ps. If you're looking to give a gift to someone who just went though rush, you should check out Melissa's Custom Gifts on the Drag (Guadalupe) right across from Dobie Mall. There is free validated parking if you park there!! If you have a Facebook, go like the page! They are doing a Jon Hart giveaway, so don't miss out.
Here's a link to the site!

Boot Scootin' Boogie

Howdy, y'all!

So for whatever reason I have been painting tons of A&M stuff lately! It's been fun, but hopefully I'll have some more longhorn stuff soon- I feel like a traitor. Seriously my roommates have called me out on it already. I have a great group of friends who are there right now going though rush and stuff. Anyway, in my last post I talked about the cowboy boots I painted for Dani, so here they are. I did some maroon and white detailing with a hint or turquoise!

Hope you like them Dani! 

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!!

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!
