Living Paints Ministries

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.

    That looks like so much fun and everyone did such a good job. Happy Birthday, Beth.
    I’d also like to know what tanner you use. I have tried a couple and I end up ‘patchy’……Patchy Pat is not a good nick name!

    Happy Birthday, Beth! What a fun way to spend your day! I’ve never heard of this and it’s such a great idea! BUT, I don’t think I have enough ‘artistic’ ability to paint the canvas in the first step!! Just kidding-that I could do, not the flowers…!

    How stinking fun is that??? Looks like the birthday was a happy one ๐Ÿ™‚ YAY!!

    Loved the upside down sunflowers shot…such a cute picture. I’m betting there was a LOT of laughter going on!!

    Tan looks good. Hair looks good. Amanda looks GREAT! Cake…adorable. Recognize the shirt from Deeper Still.

    Looks like a blast! See you next week in St. Louis. So looking forward to it and so needing a break. Between my shoulder injury and kidney stones and stripping a sun porch by myself I need that break!!!!!

    Happy Birthday!

    What a fantabulous idea! I’ve heard of painting pottery, but this was a first! And I must add that Beth looks very tan in all the pics ;).

    Now, I must come to grips with the fact that my eldest daughter turns 18 tomorrow, and get on with the planning of her surprise party. No painting though…but lots of purple silly string and water balloons!

    Tina says:

    How much fun! I didn’t know there was a place like that…a grown-up painting party instead of the little kid art places. Everyone’s paintings looked FAB! Looks like your BDAY was even more FAB! And I have to say the tan looks FAB too! In fact, my sweet hubby is going to CVS right now to get LOREAL self tan for my oldest’s feet for her Sr. picture tomorrow because that sweet thing has the whitest feet in the world! What a sweet hubby I have. He even took her to get her nails and toes done today. He’s the best girl daddy in the whole world:)
    Anyway, got off topic…So glad you had a GREAT bday and thanks Amanda for sharing the pics!

    Big Fat Mama says:

    Did you know you could all paint so well?

    It looks like the spray tan was a success too – you looked glowing…although that was probably from being surrounded by wonderful friends and not the spray tan. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I’m on chapter four of So Long Insecurities. Thanks for being so honest, Beth! It’s really touching my heart.

    Happy Birthday Siesta Mama!

    This is exactly how I celebrated my birthday last summer. Great fun!!! In New Orleans it is called Corks ‘N Canvas. Great way to celebrate a birthday – with great friends, laughter, creativity and paint brushes. I highly recommend it.

    My birthday is tomorrow (#30 – gasp!). Just wrapped up the last day of my 20’s by finishing “Jesus the One and Only.” What a great way to end the decade!

    You truly might be the funnest (and hardest working) group of women I know. I have fun vicariously through your blog and pics all the time. So glad you all got a little down time for Beth’s birthday.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETH!!

    With much love and gratefulness,

    Happy Happy Birthday Siesta Mama!

    If I could do a cartwheel I would so you will just have to settle with a soulful electric slide, in honor of your birthday. You are a wonderful mentor to me and I pray that the rest of this year holds delightful suprises from the One who is the lover of your soul. You look fabulous in your new tan, and the hair highlights are beautiful.
    Oh and James Robison is so correct, when he says you take beautiful pictures(reference the cover of SLI). Be blessed this week as you celebrate your special day.

    Much love,
    Celeste

      I love that!!!!!! Praise GOD for a child’s eaarnest desire to hear the WORD!! My favorite movie as a child was the 10 commandments (still can’t stay up to watch it, but..) that is a deep desire you witnessed. It will not go uncultivated. Blessings be on you both!

    Happy Birthday, Beth!
    What a beautiful way to celebrate your birthday and the paintings are wonderful. I enjoy painting also.

    I painted a picture of my sister and gave it to her on Christmas, which surprised her. Hope you have a blessed day in the Lord.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Praying you will be blessed with many more to come, Thanks for sharing your Birthday and your Life with me you have been a great blessing and wonderful Teacher, I don’t think I would be as close to God if it wasn’t for you teaching me how because I didn’t know where or how to start. I would pick up my Bible and just be blank I really didn’t know what to do, I MADE IT HARD! I didn’t look at him as my friend I hope this doesn’t sound awful on my part I’m just being honest….But I am soooo thankful for wonderful God fearing People like you! Thanks just doesn’t seem to be enough!

    I know you don’t know me but I feel close to you as well as others may feel, so with all my siesta love, Happy Birthday!
