GOOD MONDAY MORNING.... IT'S WEEK SEVEN OF CHALLENGE VIII !!!

HELLLLLOOOOO CHALLENGERS, and welcome to the SEVENTH Monday for Challenge VIII !  Yes, that's a mighty, magnificent, marvellous SEVEN this morning as we enter deep into the heart of this wonderful painting challenge.

I very much hope you've all had a terrific weekend.  And I also hope that you've all had the chance to look through the wonderful third theme round entries for the 'Musician' round which posted towards the end of yesterday.  Every one a winner, I think, and some really fun, imaginative and wonderful entries there.

But with another theme round ending, we're back to the excitement of the Challenge and the painted wonders that our worthy Challengers are creating.  

We've some terrific starting entries out of the blocks this morning, with some fantastic armoured entries and some beautiful Napoleonics.  And, the Monday crowd being the wonderful people that they are, I have a sneaking suspicion there will be more to come.  

So, stay tuned beloved Challengers, honoured guests, and welcome readers as we embark on WEEK SEVEN......WOOOHOOOOOOO !!!
