  6. I've been kept in suspense by EVA on her blog & so it is great that the challenge has been revealed. And good to be introduced to Kristin (just visited her lovely blog). My energy levels vary but I'll try my very best to join in with this challenge as often as I can. Great button by the way! I shall display the button & start to spread the word...

  7. The button is on my blog and I am looking forward to this. I have been picking up my brushes instead of sitting down to sew. I only wish I had time to do it all....but I don't, so at least for now, I'll paint.

  8. I grabbed a button, although I'm not sure whether I can be here every Friday. And my painting... olala!

  9. Yay!!! Thanks for grabbing the buttons & spreading the word :)

    @ ger chouinard - Can't wait to see what you come up with! Eva and I need the challenge too and we're so excited to have friends join us!

    @ Kat - I'm so happy to 'meet' you... Eva & I really did build the suspense, didn't we?!? ha! I'm glad you're going to play along when you can :)

    @ Marianne - It will be so fun to see what you create! (You always have such wonderful ideas - love your burlap tutorial... such great possibilities!)

    @ Carola - I'll look forward to your creations whenever you can visit... they don't have to be finished (works in progress are great too!)

    Thanks Again (Eva and I are really getting excited for this)!

  10. Hi Kristin, I guess I didn't realize I needed to have a button to play along too. I left a comment on March 2 that I would like to be included in paint party Friday. Please add me to your group as I've posted a button on my blog.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I've grabbed the button and want to join in. This sounds like fun. I want to be added to the group please and hope to be able to join in on most Fridays.

  12. Hi Rhonda!

    Sorry about that - I'll most definitely add your link to the sidebar!

    You're welcome to play along button or not. You don't have to have the button to play along... But it's nice if you want to spread the word (and we definitely appreciate it)!

    Eva and I want to keep this as fun as possible and include as many people as we can, so we're trying to keep the "rules" to a minimum!

    Thanks for adding the button - we look forward to "partying" with you!
