Paint Party Friday: Week 20 Check-In

Welcome to Week 20 (!!!) of Paint Party Friday.  As the summer rolls on we continue to take it easy, but we are still making time for painting. We are thrilled that you are too!

Last week we savored the flavors of summer by asking about your favorite warm weather eats.  It seems that most of us enjoy the freshness the season has to offer, and lots of us love to grill!  This week, we're wondering what sorts of beverages accompany your yummy summer fare?  We want to know - How do you quench your summertime thirst?

Please make sure to use your post URL address versus your blog address as there are many late visitors who get confused as to which post is for PPF when they arrive (after Friday) at your website. If you are unfamiliar with Mr. Linky, an explanation of how this tool works can be found on Week 1 and Week 2 check-ins.

Help yourself to a margarita, enjoy the wonderful paintings of this week's players and have fun at the party!

Paint Party Friday: Week 19 Check-In

Welcome to Paint Party Friday (Week 19)!  We are so happy to see how many of you are continuing to paint even with summertime distractions and vacations.  Speaking of vacations, last week we enjoyed learning about how you like to spend your holidays!  There are many different ways we have fun, but it seems that most of us agree - we could definitely use more free time!

For our "easy breezy" summer poll think week, we're wondering:  What is your favorite summertime food?

Paint Party Friday: Week 18 Check-In

Welcome to Week 18 of Paint Party Friday!  We hope you are enjoying an easy breezy summer...

We've found that one of the best ways to re-charge our creative batteries (other than eating many delicious flavors of ice cream) is to take a holiday! For this week's poll question (assuming you aren't already away on holiday...), we're curious... Where is your favorite vacation destination?

Paint Party Friday: Week 17 Check-In

Welcome to Week 17 of Paint Party Friday! (Where has the time gone?!?)  We hope you are finding some time to enjoy all of the fun and simple pleasures that summer has to offer... And we also hope you are finding some time to paint!

In last week's poll we learned that you have many different ways of celebrating - all of them sound great to us (well, except for the catching up on chores! hee hee).  This week we have a "cool" easy, breezy summer question for you...  We want to know:  What is your favourite ice cream?

We also wanted to mention that one of our fellow partyers, Geri Centonze, is launching an online directory for blogging artists!  You can read more about it here.

Paint Party Friday: Week 16 Check-In

To all our fellow Paint Party Friday players who live in Canada or the United States - Happy Canada Day! Happy Independence Day!!

Welcome to Week 16 of Paint Party Friday! The sun is shining, the weather is warm (in the North anyway) and it is a holiday weekend for many of us. Last week we talked about the Seasons and our painting productivity. For most, the season is irrelevant to you. And for those who find one season more productive, the majority favour summer and winter (evenly). Spring wasn't chosen by anyone as their most productive season.

One thing that many of you mentioned in the comments  was that the summer, while inspiring, was so busy with other activities that it made it a challenge to paint as often as you'd like. We are with you on that. We also find that it is often more challenging to be at the computer when it is so beautiful outside. Do you find that? Summer deserves to be easy breezy - it is far too short here!

We've decided to make the summer weeks of Paint Paint Friday a little lighter, a little silly and a little easier. We will be here every week for you to check-in. The posts may be shorter. The polls may be more frivolous and not the least bit painting oriented. Mr. Linky will always be here. We will try to visit everyone and see your painting efforts but it may be at a little slower pace. An easy breezy summer.  To celebrate the "easy breezy" carefree summer days, Kristin is kicking off CareFREE Fridays! - FREE collage paper downloads every Friday during the summer! (Please be sure to stop by her blog to check it out!)

 

With that in mind and the holiday weekend at hand, we wonder how you celebrate your nation's birthday?
