Survivor Guidelines ~ Kathy

Kathy wrote..survivors are taken by Thurs at 7pm est. we will play till we get down to how ever many are spoken for....many of you know how its run.. you'll sign up for how ever many names you wish there are 19 survivors.. you send me 1 crafty item per name plus a dollar for postage to mail the winning pkg...
crafty item: stained tags, wool, rusty pins etc.. scrapbook items for altering.. some examples.. we can get more ideas on this
hope we have enough to run this its always been a favorite!! you dont have to watch the show to play we'll let you know if your still on or voted off! 
 let kathy know you want in on the game rustyolethangs@yahoo.com
send a small gift item of craft supplies for around 5.00 value and 1.00 for postage. to kathy ..she will email you her address and the name of the survivor assigned you. If your survivor wins at the end of the season's shows..you will win all the goodies sent in by us all. You don't even have to watch the show..she will let us know when our guy( or gal) is voted out. 

Bingo guidelines ~ Judy

Watch each month or two for a bingo game at the Keeping Room! Judy Reynolds is the contact person and will announce in advance of a bingo game coming to the forum. You sign up for it by letting her know you want to play...she will send you a large list of words that you will choose 20 words from or what ever amount she says...Keep a copy of these for yourself and a copy to email her... along with your name, address and email addy. ( in case you win the prize!) She will ask you send a specified type of gift and maybe a small monetary offering to help cover postage.  she then will announce when it is time to play bingo!!  Watch her...she is tricky!..sometimes she sneaks in the middle of the night to announce a word or three..or hides them in another topic space....but usually they will be under the Bingo topic!  have fun!!m BTW..the first to bingo will get all the goodies mailed in!
