Use of all: All smiles

Hi

I am aware that these are idiomatic expressions, but I am not sure how many of these are natural. Could you please help me? How do you find these sentences?

  1. She was all smiles when she saw her result.
  2. Uncle Bob was all frowns when his team lost the match.
  3. My mother is all praises for our new tenants.

Thanks,

Tom
