No, PM staff member Shanda Stiles isn’t going to the dog track or to the mall (see signs in background). She’s just setting out signs directing our guests to Danbury Lodge for the videotaping. Thanks, Shanda! PM staffers, Stephanie Cole, Debbie Todd, Shanda Stiles, Jan Hart, and Janet Valentine, are all smiles as our marathon videotaping weekend begins.
Laurie’s hubby, Bill, joined us that weekend . . . and sure made her smile.
Beloved family members Stacie Barron (Laurie’s niece), Cyndi Fields (Laurie’s sister-in-law) and Stephanie Cole (Laurie’s daughter-in-law) enjoyed a glorious reunion at the videotaping.
What a gorgeous set God gave us at Danbury Lodge!
The perfect way to start each video shoot: Door prizes presented by Debbie and Janet!
Debbie Todd doing “double” duty standing in for Laurie as the camera crew prepares for the shoot. Laurie with two of the most instrumental women God used in preparing and producing the Beauty By The Book video project: Lolly Henry (Video Perspectives) and Pam Henderson (PM staffer)
(l-r) Precious Priority friends Sheila Lalumandier, Shonda Hector, Jean Marlowe, Christy Simmons, and Cyndi Fields prior to a shoot. Everyone’s ready for (yes) another shoot.

Shoot after shoot, these women were amazing! Even after 7 wardrobe changes!

Our California girlfriends, Karen Stevens, Teresa Holderby, and Sandy Schmid, blessed our socks off by traveling so far to join us.

(l-r) Robin Cook, Brenda Ross, Sheila Lalumandier, and Sandy Schmid are all smiles for our final shoot.

Susan Gruetzmacher, who took all of these photos (except, of course, this one), and Denise Marshall rejoice with Laurie as our marathon videotaping weekend concludes.

Surprise! Carol Wroten was our birthday girl that weekend so we celebrated her sweet self. What a Godsend she is!

Here’s a great picture of Carol Wroten and her beautiful daughter, Ashley Naylor. Ashley was our Danbury Lodge hostess with the mostest for the weekend.

The face of one of the biggest blessings you’ll ever meet: Lolly Henry.

And here’s Lolly’s husband, Steve (in the plaid shirt) the director of the videotaping with some of his fantastic crew members.

Tech crew members make sure the lighting is just right.

This camera traveled on its own track – which made for some very cool shots!

Vanessa and Dan Byerly from Generations Team Room in League City spoiled us rotten all weekend with one delicious dining experience after another.

Shonda Hector and Christy Simmons enjoying good food and sweet fellowship.

Great friends, yummy food, and the best fellowship ever. Wish you could have been there with us.

Debbie Todd and her creative crew decked out our dinner tables with lots of TLC. Biblically beautiful table settings – perfect!

Rachel Montemayor and our entire group enjoyed fine dining by candlelight one memorable evening.

Leading us in worship that weekend was Refuge (a gifted group of young women from Houston Baptist University ). (l-r) Mon’Sher Spencer, Megan Yarrington, Rebeca Pineda, Sarah Taylor, and their manager, Clay Carnes.

Now here’s a group of biblically beautiful young women. Loved ‘em, loved ‘em, loved ‘em!

PM staff pic, and we’re still smiling as the weekend concludes. Praise you, Lord, big time!

Our Video Perspectives crew is smiling, too. Hallelujah!

Assan, our lighting expert, strikes his Marlon Brando pose and concludes our weekend with laughter.

We praise the Lord for the beautiful way He led, reigned, and provided for everything
we needed for the Beauty by The Book videotaping.

“Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask of think,
according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in
Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.”
