Paint Party Friday: Week 24 Check In

Welcome to Week 24 of Paint Party Friday!  Summer is almost over (in the northern part of the Northern Hemisphere anyway) and it is so great that everyone is still painting and new players are joining in - fabulous!! A few people asked in the comments last week about getting listed in the "Paint Players" section on the left hand side. If you are not there and would like to be, please feel free to email us at paintpartyfriday (at) gmail (dot) com (you know what we mean... one must be careful about email addresses with those nasty spambots on the web) and we will add you to the list.

Last week we enjoyed learning more about your favorite flowers - some had favourites but most of us love them all particularly wildflowers in the summer. They definitely bring us all lots of joy (and provide wonderful inspiration for some of our paintings too)!  We've been having so much fun with our easy breezy summer posts, but as the days are getting shorter we are wondering what is still left undone on your summer fun to-do list?

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.

Have a fabulous time at the party and we hope you get out there and cross some fun to-dos off your list!

Paint Party Friday: Week 23 Check In

Welcome to Week 23 of Paint Party Friday! We were thrilled to see new players arrive at the party last week (Welcome!) and to have all of you continue to paint and participate even during these busy summer months! You are awesome!

Last week's easy, breezy poll was about birds and if there was a favourite, it was hummingbirds and owls but most of us love to see all birds. We also learned about other kinds of birds we don't normally see, Rosie even posted a link in the comments so the non-New Zealanders could hear a tui sing! This week our poll asks about another common yet inspiring aspect of summer... We wonder, what is your favourite flower?

There are many late visitors during the busy summer months and it gets confusing if you link with your blog url instead of your PPF post url as to which post is for PPF. To encourage people to visit your PPF post, please make sure to use your post URL address versus your blog address. Thanks!

Have a fun time at the party!

Paint Party Friday: Week 22 Check In

Welcome to Week 22 of Paint Party Friday!! (Week 22! Should we stop counting yet?) We are so happy to have each, and all, of you painting and visiting and joining in the fun here over this easy breezy summer!

We hope those of you in the UK and Northwest are finally getting some sun. But rain or shine, one thing we've heard a lot this summer are the songs of summer birds. We suspect those of you in the Southern Hemisphere may have winter birds visiting you? We've been seeing birds appear as inspiration in your (and our) paintings and we wonder... what is your favourite bird?

Have a great time at the party!! (Both Kristin and Eva are away this weekend so our visits won't be timely but we hope to see your painting efforts when we can.)

Paint Party Friday: Week 21 Check In

Welcome to week 21 of Paint Party Friday!  We hope fun, relaxation (and some painting), are top priorities on your summertime to-do list!  For our friends in winter - we hope these posts add a little sunshine to your days!

Last week we discovered that nothing can quench a summer sized thirst like good ol' water... Although quite a few of us definitely enjoy a cool refreshing cocktail now and then!  This week we're wondering what you do to keep busy in the summer...  What is your favorite summertime activity? (Other than painting, of course!)
