happy birthday lee!

Yesterday was my roommate's birthday. She is a nurse and had to work all day (8am-10pm). Yuck, right? Needless to say, we didn't get to celebrate so Kensey and I, being the bakers that we are, made her birthday cupcakes! They turned out so cute and she was so happy that she ate two when she got home! Happy Birthday Lee Louise! 

Precious little Lizzy got kind of tired in the midst of all the baking and decided to take a nap...what she does best! How sweet is she?!

hotty toddy weekend

I had a pretty busy weekend... Brittany's friend Hilary was visiting, so Friday night after having a girl's dinner we went to the piano bar downtown. Saturday we grilled out with the guys. It was good to have some downtime after such a hectic week. I painted this Hotty Toddy canvas for Hil while she was here. We had so much fun and I absolutely cannot wait until she comes back!


She and Brittany met during Brittany's freshman year at Ole Miss, so they both share a common love for the Rebels. I thought it turned out pretty cute! 

All I can say is John was amazing. AMAZING. And that's how that was... There are no other words. I think the comment was made..."Oh my gosh. What I would give to be his guitar!"


It snowed Friday. Classes were cancelled... although I'm not sure why because there was hardly any ice and the snow definitely didn't stick to the ground. I wish they would have saved our off day for tomorrow being that I only have one class on Fridays and it is the one where I get to draw a naked girl and Monday is a pretty long day for me complete with waking up early and no time for lunch. Yuck. There is a small hope for some more wintery weather tonight so, maybe I'll get an extra long weekend... and lunch tomorrow!


Since the whole point of my blog is supposedly to display some of my hand painted canvases I'll post a few more for your viewing pleasure! Being the huge Alabama fan that I am, here is a Roll Tide Roll one that I did for a friend. I've also started doing these fun canvases for birthdays that the party attendees can sign as a souvenir for the birthday boy/girl! 

Happy Heart Day! How cute did this turn out?!

Here are a few products of my painting frenzy! 

So, Kensey had this grand idea to get John Mayer tickets. I don't know why we didn't just order them when they went on sale, but we didn't. So, this grand idea hits her Sunday night...and John Mayer is playing Tuesday. For whatever reason there were some sidestage tickets available for regular price and with a slight twist of my arm (it didn't take much) we had tickets. Being that my power bill was a whopping $230 this month I am broke and once we ordered them I went into a frantic money fit because I HAVE NONE! But then again, who does? (Kensey, apparently... she didn't fret one bit.) Anyway, in order to pay my bills and fund my trip to see the fabulous John, we painted. And painted. And painted. I painted 8 canvases in a period of about 5 hours, more than I usually paint in a month. Needless to say, John Mayer, HERE WE COME! Yay! Now. What to wear???

Hi all! I'm so excited about my new blogging adventure. I'm going to post some pictures of some of the more recent and most favorite canvases I've painted. Hopefully you'll see something you like, and if that is the case, shoot me an e-mail (bethany1287@yahoo.com) and we'll work out an order!
