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!

    Hi guys,

    Summer isn't ending, you're just letting Australians borrow it for a while. ;)

    Happy PPF!

    I am still hoping to get away for a day or two with hubby. Although in two wks we will be driving our son to London to drop him off for UNI sad and exciting. This signifies the end of Summer for us although we are hoping for an indian Summer so we can get away for a little break before it gets too cold ;0) Dxx

    Well, I for one am glad to see the darker evenings and looking forward to autumn if only because I know what to expect of the weather (emigrating to a place with actual seasons is top of my wish list!)

    By the way, I just tried to visit Diane's blog and a warning came up that it has been compromised by joselle2008.blogspot.com which has been known to distribute malware and warning not to continue visiting the site. I'm not sure how to warn Diane about this?

    I always make a goal list for my summer and attempt to get to as many things on my list as I can. This year I don't think I got to anything on my list but did a lot of things not on it. It was a summer to remember full of grandchildren and family. I have loved spending Fridays with all of you.
    Blessing!

    I so want to do so much more this summer, it went by way too fast. I voted for a carnival ride as I have'nt done that but I'd really like to go canoeing the most!!!!

    You know, I gotta say I just love all the creative and fun logos created for Paint Party Friday. I never know what it will be till I get there! Road trip for me...although even though I am supposed to take a road trip this week, I am wondering if the hurricane will slow me down...

    What a great banner. Love that car. Please excuse my double entry up there. I was in a hurry because I have to leave very soon. I don't know how to take it off, the number 40 that is is. Have a great weekend.

    It has been a tough summer for me. First house guests for 6 weeks, then health issues of a loved one. I am trying to get as much sun as possible because here the winter is long and dark.

    Happy ppf everyone...in south Florida, we welcome winters...it is our best time of year...sunny and cool...with me, I do not do so well in the Florida heat...so I like the cooler weather...but, I have always dreamed of living up north to see the change of seasons and snow yearly...my husband is from Ohio and he says I am nuts!

    I can "smell" Fall in the morning! Light fog and then HOT, and then cooling down at night!
    I do enjoy the change of seasons, especially the colors changing!

    Mmmmkay. So I said I'm ready for fall and that is pretty true but not totally true. I wish I could be at the beach a little longer but hurricane Irena had other plans. I wish I could enjoy more rest and relaxation with my kids nestled around me. SCREEEEECCHHHH. Sorry that last one was pure fantasy. I love them but they need to go back to school. I want my house back. And my mojo. Mama needs her peace and quiet. LOL!

    Two weeks from tomorrow my parents arrive for a visit in Germany! And we have so many unfinished projects in our apartment...we're installing laminate as I write this, and then to refresh some paint and fix some rough spots in the kitchen! Don't think I can get it all done, but I'm trying!
