Clear eyes. Full hearts.

Before I start, I'm doing this on my phone so the pictures won't be up until I get back to my laptop! Alright, it's no surprise that I am in love with my state. I just can't help it. I mean, Texas is a really awesome place to be! Luckily I'm not alone in this, and I got some orders from some of my fellow proud Texans. 

If you've never seen the show (or even the movie) Friday Night Lights, you're missing out. Whether you're into football or not, although after this show you will love football..trust me, you need to watch it. I promise you that you will fall in love with Coach Taylor, his awesome wife Tammy, the stories and relationships, and last but DEFINITELY not least, Tim Riggins. His famous line "Texas Forever" has inspired probably like thousands of hashtags, facebook albums, and tshirts...and it also inspired this canvas!

Before school started my dad surprised me and took my to the Dillon Panther field house. It's right outside of Austin! I almost passed out when I realized where we were. Anyway, here's a picture of the field house! I wanted to go on the field but the gate was locked and they had barbed wire around the face so I decided I better not test my luck. Hope y'all enjoy the pictures! Clear eyes. Full hearts. Can't lose.

The Eyes of Texas are upon yOU..

So last week was simply WILD. We initially had our big/little paddles due for Theta on Thursday, so everyone was stressing about getting them done and making them look perfect! Luckily our new member director changed the due date for that to this Thursday!! (I'll upload my paddle I made for Grace as soon as the sees it!) The big thing for underclassmen do for Texas/OU weekend -especially freshmen- is cooler painting. I think I might have slept for 8 hours total last week slaving over these babies, but here is what all that hard work amounted to!

 

 The OU game is our biggest event of the football season, and the boys ask dates to go with them. It's really a fun experience because you have the game AND the state fair! Since we didn't exactly do too well in the game, most of us went to the fair. It was AWESOME! Everything was packed, and I ran into literally so many people that there was no way it couldn't be fun.

 ^ My honorary little sisters Chloe and Paige! They are the sweetest girls I know. We went on some rides together at the fair!

 ^One of my favorite people in Theta!! I'm going to miss her next year!!

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!
