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?


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. 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.


Hope you are enjoying the heat. Have fun at Paint Party Friday! (We have an easy breeze and/or air conditioning here!)

    My entry this week wasn't strictly just painting. Actually it was mostly drawing with some paint added for color.... I'll try and actually paint something this week though, promise!

    Happy Paint Party Friday to all. Tomatoes, cucumbers on grilled bread. Awesome, just awesome. Have a wonderful day tomorrow and the pears up there look good enough to eat.:))

    Happy Friday! For me I love all the fresh fruit expecially strawberries and melons. Melons of any kind are fabulous. Of course it is hard to be barbeque ribs with grilled pineapple.

    I really missed PPF last week while we were on vacation! Am glad to be back and part of the community again this week. My favourite summer foods are rocket salads with grilled halloumi or feta cheese. Since turning vegetarian in January the BBQ doesn't really appeal any more!

    awwww! I miss you guys! I've got my head spinning with all the garden duties and when the corn is in you drop everything... same with beans.

    I look forward to joining in again very soon!

    I'm still on my diet and have now lost a total of 15 lbs. This poll would have to be about food wouldn't it?!!! Thank you kristen and Eva for all your hard work putting this party together...on my way to view all the fantastic art! :-)

    I love a cold salad...any kind with tuna or chicken in the center, with a peanut butter shake (extra crunchy) for dessert. It's the perfect summertime lunch for me!

    Happy PPF!! :)

    Hi Everyone!

    I felt adrift last week by not checking in! As far as food goes I confess I love pretty much all food. Except mebbe Haggis. This summer I have barely lifted a finger ( and my son is beginning to feel abandoned ) but for some reason I can't get enough SPICY food. The hotter the better. And cooked by someone else.

    it's so cold on the west coast it's not even funny. I'm in California for the weekend and today it's supposed to get to 68 degrees.

    Kristin and Eva, would you consider changing this so that people with their own url's can sign here with them? This thing asks me for my google account OR my wordpress account. or... but not name/url which would let me put in my blog address, http://mimitabby.com. Curiously, today I can't see your linky thing, maybe it's because I'm using my travel computer which has a linux system.. so today I am NOT in your line up. but that link is here: http://www.mimitabby.com/blog/touring-with-crows
