It all started when I was a kid. My mom would buy a big grocery bag FULL of treats and prizes. We'd all invite a friend over, and we'd play Bingo all day long! Nothing was more fun than winning and picking out of the prizebag, only you couldn't look. You had to reach in and take what you got...although if you didn't like what you got you could always trade it with a friend.
When the boys were old enough, I started doing it with them. Colin LOVED it. After he fell ill, it was really one of the only things he could do with the other kids and actually enjoy it. I was always the Bingo Caller...I cheated so many times to make Colin win! I would just peek to see what number he needed for a bingo, and call it. He was always the luckiest kid playing bingo, and yet no one ever caught on. He always had the biggest prize pile. It was one of the only things he could excel at, and I was going to make sure he did.
So I decided that I want to play a game once a month or so here at the blog! It might be a bit silly, but that's what I like about it. We all have a silly side because that's what makes life fun!
So, the game is pretty simple. I have this big, red box with something inside. The object inside is the mystery.....It's a bit like 20 questions. Here's how it works:
?????????????????
1. In the comments section below this post, ask me a question about the object that can be answered with "YES", "NO", "MAYBE", or "SOMETIMES".
2. Each person can only ask one question per day! Be creative with your questions!
3. I'll read your questions and answer them in the post as they come. Once we have 20questions, everyone can take a stab at guessing what the object is by posting their answer once again in the comments section. If someone gets it right (and is the first to post it), they are the WINNER! (Don't post your guess until AFTER we have 20asked questions!)
4. The object in the box is not the PRIZE. The PRIZES for this round will be a little mixed bag of goodies to honor my excitement for the Fall season soon to come. They consist of:
3 Fall Cookie-Cutters (an apple, ghost, and cat). I collect cookie cutters and just love these. They also have a fun recipe attached to them:
2 pretty cloth napkins, because you know how I love napkin origami!
4 Fall Yankee candle votives. Fall scents are the best!
These cute recipe cards...handwritten recipes are the best. I still love looking at old recipe cards Grandmothers or Great Aunts wrote in their own handwriting:
And also this kitchen towel with these embroidered ducks. Not really fitting with the Fall theme, but I think it's cute:
5.The object in the box can be anything...Sam actually picked it this round. It can be small or it might fill up the whole box. The box is 18"L x 12"W x 6" deep.
6. The winner will have 2 days to email me their info/if that doesn't happen I will randomly pick another winner.
7. Knowing me, I probably forgot something, so feel free to ask any questions! Most of all, I hope YOU enjoying playing this game as much as I enjoy hosting it! Man I have fun doing stuff like this...I'm easily excited, can you tell?
PS-The mystery object is not an item from "Red Envelope" as the box shows! Oh, and don't forget to tell your friends to take a guess too! Remember, don't start guessing until after I post the first 20 questions!
What are you waiting for....start asking questions!!
