Our staff celebrated Bethie’s birthday at Painting with a Twist.
Evangeline, Mom, Sabrina and Susan.
KMac, Michelle, Mom, Sherry and Jenn.
Diane, Mom, Kimberly and Linda.
Just call her Baby Hawk.
This is the original canvas that we were painting from.
This was not painting by numbers, people!
Evangeline was contemplating all the art with our instructor.
Breakfast treats, coffee, and juice.
Jenn and Sabrina drying the first layer of paint.
Michelle and I are swaying to Friends are Friends Forever.
We’re renaming ourselves Living Paints Ministries.
We were that fabulous.
yay! what a neat idea…
Beth!
Happy Birthday, darlin. You are sooooo loved!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BETH!!
I love the painting party! What a great idea…looks like you had a blast!
Cannot wait to see you in St. Louis!
Blessings in abundace! Sister Lynn
Looks like great fun!! Happy Birthday Beth! You are so loved and appreciated!
It looks like you all had fun. Yay! Happy Birthday Beth and many happy returns of the day.
What an incredibly fun and unique way to spend your birthday with sweet friends.
Happy Happy Birthday Beth!! What a fun day 🙂
Thanks for sharing your joy!
Okay BEST Birthday idea EVER!! Happy Birthday darling Miss Beth. You mean so stinkin much to me I can. not. even. tell. you! 🙂
I think I noticed a certain glow about Beth. Didn’t y’all? I nearly dragged my daughter to the L’oreal counter today, but she assured me it wouldn’t work on my “dracula-esque” skin tone.
Great idea for a fun celebration day! Did I see Hawk in pearls? Well done. You looked lovely. Apron and all. Or was that a bib?
Haha!
The “Little Couple” (TLC) went to a place near downtown…Perot and Picasso for their 2nd wedding anniversary. That is too cool.
I DID THE SAME THING FOR MY MOTHER ON MOTHER’S DAY AND IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!! YOUR PAINTINGS WERE FABULOUS!!!
How FUN!!! I have never heard of anything like that…and now I want to do it! Errr, plus my company last weekend asked if my bare walls were intentional. hee hee *blush*
Sunflowers are also my favoritest thing in the whole wide world. Must quote from Calendar Girls “I don’t think there’s anything on this planet that more trumpets life than the sunflower…Not because it looks like the sun but because it follows the sun. During the course of the day, the head tracks the journey of the sun across the sky.”
May you follow the Son throughout the course of your life Sonflowers!
Kathryn, I have a thing for bare walls too.
Kate,
If you ever come to visit me, you’ll see I have white walls, that are not filled with stuff either.
I love Sunflowers, and for the first time, planted some in my garden, thanks to a friend.
Love,
Yolanda
Love that!
I would be that company who asked about the bare walls.
My only regret in life is that I don’t have more wall space upon which to hang things 🙂
Melana
Haaa haaa haaa Melana, I did not name names…you told on yourself. I wasn’t trying to out you; however, you did decorate one little wall in my entryway…and it is quite lovely, I think of you when I come home…you ROCK Moose Mama!
With the exception of one hallway,(our family ‘Hall of Fame’!)we have bare walls,too!
That is soooooooo cool. I didn’t know that about the sunflowers!
: )
Happy Birthday, Beth! 🙂
Much love, Sharon
Happy birthday, siesta mama! You are loved!
ahhh, I have been continually checking to see how you all celebrated! I didn’t imagine this. They are all beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
Happy birthday! You look very tan. =0)
that’s awesome! Y’all are talented!
thanks for sharing 🙂
Wow… Everyone of you did a fabulous job on your paintings. I would love to do that with my friends.
Happy Birthday Beth!!!
Much love to you and your family.
See you next weekend in St. Louis 🙂
Oops! I noticed on my post before that I forgot to wish you a
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Looks like a fun place to go. Wish we had something like that around here.
Ok so I would like to know how to apply the tanner? Is it easy or hard? Does it take long to dry? How does one know if it will look good or her?
Happy Birthday Siesta Mama!!!!
Is there anything you gals at LPM aren’t good at??! Those paintings are fabulous! What fun!
Happy day after Birthday, Ms. Beth!
Love and prayers to all!
Kelli
I’m Impressed!! Ya’ll are all very good artists!! If there is such a thing as stick-figure flowers… that would be my artistic skill level.
Looks like you had a wonderful birthday with a fun group of women! Happy Birthday!
How fun!! I have a friend who is trying to talk me into starting one of those shops where people come to paint and socialize. (She also wants me to open a chicken salad-only restaurant -not because I can cook, but because she ate at one!)
Happy Birthday Beth a day late! I did think of you often yesterday it looks like you were well celebrated, as you should be!! God Bless and I pray many more!! Thanks Amanda for sharing you are an angel.
So reminds me of ” Mona Lisa Smile” 🙂
love it:)
Ang, I TOTALLY thought of that when I saw the collection of pictures.
Angie, you are so right on! 🙂
Happy Birthday!
I joined Twitter yesterday and noticed you joined, too!
Happy birthday, Beth! What a neat way to spend your birthday! Creativity poured out of all of you – what beautiful pictures you all painted! And, spending your special day with those you love and value. Awesome! Many blessings on this next new year of your life! May God continue to be huge in your life and through your life. He loves you soooo much 🙂
Blessings and love,
Patti
Bravo Beth!!!! Well done LPM – I love to paint. Inc fact one of my first paintings was of a photo of the landscape Amanda took in Wyoming! I’ve painted a few since! I love the pics, especially the one where hawk and amanda look very spiritual with their hands in the air!!! Praise GOD for paints and the very colors that still blow my mind!
Happy Birthday B to the e to the TH Moore!
you rock Bible Study to the very core!
Happy, Happy Birthday, Beth!
Are you all artists because all those paintings are absolutely wonderful! I hope you all hang them proudly in your homes.
Happy Birthday Beth! You have been such a blessing to my life, I truly hope you have a wonderful birthday!
Look like ya’ll had a blast! I’d love to give that a try. We don’t have anything quite like that here, we just have ceramics you can paint. That’s fun too but to do an actually painting – wow.
And birthday blessings to you Mama Beth ;o)
Love ya’
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BETH!
Looks like y’all had fun!
What a blessing to be in such beloved company!
And . . .your paintings were all beautiful!
🙂
Wow! What a unique birthday party! It looks as if the birhtday girl and her sweet friends had a FUN time. Beth you are loved not only in Houston but throughout Siestaville. God bless you, dear one. May you have many many more birthdays to come.
Happy Birthday Beth! Thanks for sharing your special day with us. I thank God for you and your commitment to helping us grow closer to our King. I pray you have many, many, more birthdays and God’s favor the rest of your beautiful life. This is my first time on your blog but not with your Bible Studies! Thanks for being so real.
I’m glad you’re my sister in Christ. Love you,
Renee
Happy Birthday, Beth!
It looks like your birthday was a blast! You look GREAT! Love you! Joan
On this beautiful day that the Lord has made I wish you love and happiness. Happy birthday Beth–God is smiling down at you!!!
Happy birthday, Beth!! I have been so blessed by your life and I thank God for you!! I just read your last post about laughter, and I must admit it did make me laugh–esp. your last comment! 🙂 Have a wonderful birthday week! I love you, Siesta Mama! 😀
Oh my… I can’t even draw a stick figure that looks normal like everyone else’s. I cannot imagine trying to draw and paint flowers. Yikes! It’d be a scary look!
Happy Birthday, Beth! So glad that you got to celebrate it in such a fun way with dear friends!
Was this supposed to be your birthday theme of the moment: “A voice said, “Shout!” I asked, “What should I shout?” “Shout that people are like the grass. Their beauty fades as quickly as the flowers in a field… The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever” (Isa 40:6,8)?
SURELY the point wasn’t about Beth’s beauty fading, for she only gets more beautiful each year! But I do totally LOVE the “the word of our God stands forever” part that tags along behind it!
Soooo love you guys!
Thank you for sharing glimpses of your fun day together! Enjoyed seeing how each picture had it’s own personality! The cake looked yummy AND darling…what kind was it?
It was almond flavored cake and amaretto icing. So yummy!
Did you make that yourself? Impressive!
My mouth is watering at the thought! Almond cake and amaretto icing sounds like a perfect summer desert.
Amanda, I cracked up over your “we are the world” hand motions. Ya’ll are funny folks.
BETH HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUNSHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you had a good one. I have a quick share. I am almost done with SLI and love it so much I bought it for my sister in law and went searching for a Spanish version for my mother!Yes for my mother. I was so excited when I found a copy in Spanish! I bought it home to her only to realize she couldn’t have the full experience because she wouldn’t have the questions. Then I remembered my son told me about google translator. By golly!!! Beth I was able to copy your entire message for each week and google interpreted the entire message. I was doubly excited because now my mom can fully experience Beth Moore in Spanish! Now if I can only get my nineteen year old to read it and then my 16 year old…..hmmm need some ideas and prayers. Thanks Siestas.
Angie, WOW! I am so blessed to serve your mom and in Spanish!! So glad you hung in there with it. Security is God’s love in any language.
would love to know what message for each week you are talking about that you printed on google translator. i would just like to print something like that in english. ! is it the message from life today? i like to see it on paper, highlight and underline instead of just listening. thanks.

Happy Birthday!!! May God bless you!!
Looks like lots of fun and yes, those are beautiful paintings! My insecurities over lack of artistic abilities would have flared up in such an environment. That realization came to me by looking at your pics! aughhhhh, got.to.get.over.it!!!
Happy happy birthday Bethie! 🙂
Happy Birthday, Beth! Hope your cake was yummy! 🙂
How fun!
Happy Birthday, Beth!
Thanks Amanda for making a memory for your mom. I promise…she will cherish it more than you know.
Happy birthday Beth! Looks like fun…you are all talented artists! =)
Happy Birthday, Beth.
May God bless you in all the ways you have blessed us.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!!! You look like you had so much fun.
Have fun next weekend. Blessing to you.
Much love,
Sue
I am so incredibly impressed with the talent at Living Paint Ministries!!!
Happy Blessed Birthday, Beth! You have blessed so many of us out here!
🙂
Happy Birthday! What a fun way to spend the day with your favourite people. I love it!
Beloved Beth!
May this coming year be a celebration of God’s Love for you! May you celebrate His gift to you – the day He set aside to make you! May today bring you a new awareness of God’s love and concern for you, and may you have special expectiations of the good things He has planned just for you!
Much love to you, You are more special than you will ever know, to your extended family of God!
Sorry I’m a day late!
OK, 1st – Happy Birthday; 2nd – Great idea; 3rd – Paintings are fabulous, however how is it that you all have such amazing talent. I would definitely have to do paint-by-number. But this does give me a great idea for a back-yard Bible club (Rock the Block).
