Well.... In getting today's post ready, we just read the comments from last week. Our sincere apologies about the Mr. Linky issues. Please email us if you ever notice this happen again! The email link is on the right.  It's paintpartyfriday at gmail dot com. (you know what we mean - written this way to avoid spambots...) The blog used to send comments to us but then stopped a while ago and so we aren't always aware of problems. "Operator errors" and technology fails do occur unfortunately! Sorry! (It may also be Blogspot issues as our stored labels have disappeared - very odd.)
 
Welcome to Week 16 of Year 9 here at PPF!
 
We allocated a "number" to the comments and let random.org chose a post that way... Sorry you couldn't all visit each other easily last week (drat!!)  This week's painting spotlight highlights Nature Footstep. Monica painted a exploding volcano this week to share with us.
