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... :)

Posted by: Heather at March 30, 2009 12:26 PMWow, Bethany, I love your work!
Posted by: Fed Up at March 30, 2009 12:28 PMShe'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! :)
Posted by: Kel at March 30, 2009 12:39 PMThat's great, Bethany! You're such an inspiration.
Posted by: Lauren at March 30, 2009 12:55 PMGood thing you didn't paint Pepsi.
Posted by: Cranky Catholic at March 30, 2009 12:56 PMBethany, congrats!
Posted by: Jasper at March 30, 2009 12:59 PMAnd a sweet face to match all that talent. Congrats.
Posted by: Maria at March 30, 2009 1:04 PMBethany!
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.
Posted by: Bethany at March 30, 2009 1:32 PMCool 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.
Posted by: Rachael at March 30, 2009 2:27 PMWow, 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.
Posted by: LizFromNebraska at March 30, 2009 2:28 PMAnd congratulations by the way :)
Posted by: Rachael at March 30, 2009 2:28 PMCongrats Bethany. You are ridiculously talented and I am envious.
Posted by: Oliver at March 30, 2009 3:15 PMBethany, you look very pretty too!
Posted by: Heather at March 30, 2009 5:05 PMLiz: 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!)
Posted by: angel at March 30, 2009 5:08 PMOh, yay! You're very talented! Congratulations.
Posted by: Vannah at March 30, 2009 5:13 PMBethany,
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.

Posted by: kbhvac at March 30, 2009 6:49 PMWoah- that's a painting?
Can I stand close to you, Bethany and get some talent by osmosis?
Posted by: Jacque at March 30, 2009 7:14 PMYou have quite a gift, Bethany! Your family must be so proud!
(And what a lovely sentiment by yllas :)
