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!

Fightin' Aggies

This week I had a few orders from friends at Texas A&M! I was inspired by a black and white canvas I saw on Pinterest with a bunch of cute things about A&M written on it. My friend Sarah is moving into her new apartment and has a color scheme of turquoise and coral (which I LOVE), and so she told me to do anything I wanted as long as I used those colors in them. So I just went with it! The picture above has all three of Sarah's pieces, but it also has one I made for myself! My roommate Payton liked the one I made for Sarah so much that I decided to make an Austin/UT version for our apartment. It turned out great!

I Instagrammed the first canvas for Sarah and one of my old camp friends Emily said she would love on in maroon, so this is what I made for her:

My mom was a big fan of this one, seeing whereas she is an Aggie herself. Emily is so awesome, and I was insanely excited when she asked me to make her one! I'm really happy that she likes it! I'm on an A&M streak right now. I even have some beautiful cowboy boots for Dani coming up in a minute. 

Here's a close up of Sarah's canvas!

Thanks and HOOK EM...sorry, I had to.

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.
