B I N G O time!

Our family is a huge ~Bingo playing family ~ when we all get together. 
With Easter approaching, I thought I needed to complete a project
I expected to do about 2 years ago. {procrastinator here}

I have this "prize chest" that I got at Hobby Lobby ~ with the intention of decorating it. 
Not sure if they still have it in stock. 
This is how we've been using it ~ boring.

I painted it black and Mod Podged it with a Bingo theme!
(tried taking pictures of it painted just black ~ having major camera problems here}


 The Bingo cards and game images are from Tim Holtz Distressables Elements CD


The Clown Face is from The Graphics Fairy ~ I like this clown face



Inside ~ with all the prizes

 filled with prizes for all


back side of the prize chest ~ the kids will love ~ PRIZES!

I don't spend much on the prizes, no more than $1.00/each - but when the winner
reaches into the "prize chest" they think they've hit the lottery because they're a
WINNER!


We all have such great time playing Bingo together ~
the kids have a saying when they get Bingo ~ Bingo-Bango-Bongo!!!! 
 And, there's a funky Bingo Dance too!


Soon this wheel will be spinning like crazy!
 It's fun having and making these memories of our family time together, all I can say is, BINGO!

(I got this Bingo game from Wal-Mart it was cheap like $11.00 - I'm sure they still sell them!)

  1. I love that! Where did you find the bingo wheel. My bunco group just played bingo last month instead of Bunco.....my friend and I bought prized for 5.00 each and wrapped them and then you got to pick what you wanted...you also got to steal....it was great! What a fun family memory you are creating.

  2. Hi there. Just followed you here from a comment you left on Pandora's Box. Love your box transformation. I'm always looking at how objects can be improved with a bit of imagination.
