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?


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. Please make sure to use your post URL address versus your blog URL 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.


Have a great time at the party!

    Vacation! I just love having time off and being able to govern my own time. I love the beach, I love the mountains although here in Texas we say hill county around where I live. But mostly I just love being able to be able to find time to do creative things! Happy PPF!

    I like the poll. Mostly though, you'll find me at home. Hello everyone. I hope you all have a great weekend. Diana, I stopped by your blog and excellent portrait of our son Cole. Time goes by fast. Enjoy. Thanks Kristin and Eva as always!

    I like the idea of visiting big cities (eg Paris, New York City, Rome), I guess to see the famous sights.

    my favorite destination is Italy. My favorite time to go is in the Autumn though since I can't stand the heat of summer.
