Hey, our very own Bethany was spotlighted in her town’s newspaper yesterday!
Go here to read the impressive article about our dear moderator. I’ll bet you didn’t know she is not only a talented artist but also a quilter, seamstress, chef, mom, and wife!
Congrats, Bethany, for getting a little well-deserved recognition…

I think that people will look at that and think that’s a step too far…. I find it really abhorrent to see the sort of campaign that’s been raised now on a really sensitive issue.
I’m concerned to see young kids involved in a debate like this.
There was a good point made in some of the commentary that I saw, that these young people are at an age that they haven’t actually lived long in the life to experience the competing issues that adults have to confront in their lifetime.

Yay!! Sweet Bethany is extremely talented!!
Bethany, congratulations:]
Wow, Bethany, I love your work!
She’s a keeper! Do you hear me Mr. Bethany? Ha, ha.
Bethany, have Mr. Bethany read Proverbs 31 aloud to you tomorrow, March 31.
I think the Lord was describing you in that Proverb. Be blessed.
Yay Bethany! You are amazing!
That’s great, Bethany! You’re such an inspiration.
Good thing you didn’t paint Pepsi.
Bethany, congrats!
And a sweet face to match all that talent. Congrats.
Bethany!
You are so amazingly talented!!!
BETHANY ROXX!
(But then we all KNEW that!)
Congrats to you, Bethany, for nurturing and developing all the wonderful gifts God has blessed you with!
Jill was so unbelievably sweet to post this here today…I didn’t even ask – she just offered after seeing it, because that is the kind of person Jill is.
Thank you, Jill.
The kitchen mural in the newspaper…I actually began painting that one when I was 1 month pregnant in 2007…then after I miscarried, I was depressed and for several months didn’t have the motivation to finish it. I forced myself to finish it about 1 year later, because I didn’t want to give up on it… I’m glad I did because now this mural has made it to the paper!
Thanks all, for the kind words!! I really appreciate you guys.
Cool beans Bethany!
May you always beautify life with your talent given to you by God. But brought to the surface by a loving husband.
I tried to e-mail you some Lunch Break Suggestions, Bethany and the e-mail was returned with the message that your e-mail is temporarily over quota.
Wow, that soda fountain mural is so lifelike. Before I read the caption, I thought it was a mural for a Soda fountain at a cafe or something.
And congratulations by the way
Congrats Bethany. You are ridiculously talented and I am envious.
Bethany, you look very pretty too!
Liz: at first I thought Bethany was IN a room with a soda fountain! That’s how realistic it appears!
me too Oliver! (no wonder she’s so good at those emoticons!)
Oh, yay! You’re very talented! Congratulations.
Bethany,
A persons gift will make a way for them.
A person skilled in her work will stand before kings and rulers.
Keep honing the gift.
Work at it with all your heart.

You have quite a gift, Bethany! Your family must be so proud!
