Paint Party Friday: Week 42 Check-In


Welcome to Week 42 of Paint Party Friday!  As the year winds down to a close and we enter 2012, we hope you are all enjoying the holidays.  It is so wonderful to see that so many of you are continuing to find time for painting even with all of the hustle and bustle of the season!

Last week we discovered that most of us looove cookies (and we even had a couple of delicious sounding recipes and tips shared)!  We were surprised to discover that some of us don't eat cookies!  (What?!?  Ha ha!)  This week, we're wondering how you're planning for a fresh new year?  Are you making resolutions?



Please make sure to use your post URL address NOT your blog home page 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.


All our best wishes for a wonderful, happy, healthy, exciting, cheerful, prosperous, productive, creative, paint-filled New Year!!!

xoxo
Kristin   and  EVA

  5. hello,
    i have never been prone to resolutions. but i have loved walking through the year with a word as my companion. I am amazed by how one word can enlighten on every aspect of life!

    at this time I am considering how making choices that bring energy over depleting energy would be awesome.

    Happy New year to you all!

  6. I don't do resolutions either; however, this past week I had a great idea combining my passion with my passion. This blog post will illustrate what I am doing. I have decided that I can use my art to educate people about some of the endangered small wild cats around the world.

  15. I am always surprised to see how many people have already posted so early on Friday! Must be all the East Coast early risers! I have really enjoyed the last few weeks since I joined Paint Party Friday. Thank you again to our hosts! It is so much fun to see what everyone is creating, even though it takes me almost a week to get through all the posts to visit everyone. Happy New Year everyone and Happy PPF!

  24. I like the term goals rather than resolutions, seems more positive. May we all achieve the goals we set :)
