Steps on How To do the Bingo Card

Thank you Jessi for saving my fanny! When I saw how she did her card I had to ask and this is what she told me..I tried it and it works! Thank you so much Jessi!!

Step 1: Right click on the Bingo Card and click "Save Picture As".
Step 2: Type in the name you want to give it and Click Save
Step 3: Go to your Start Menu and open up your Paint program. All windows software has this program. It's usually listed under Accessories.
Step 4: After Paint is opened, look in the top left hand corner for "File". Click this.
Step 5: Choose "Open". A window should pop up for you to choose a picture to edit. Find the Bingo card file and select it.
Step 6: Once your Bingo card shows up, look in the lefthand toolbar for an "A". This is your text tool. Click the "A" and then mouse over to where your first Bingo square is.
Step 7: Click and drag inside the box to make a square (about the same size as the little box). Once you let go, a flashing cursor should appear. Just type in your choice for that box.
Step 8: Click anywhere in the picture when you're finished typing.

Repeat steps 7 and 8 all the way through your Bingo card. When you're finished, go back up to the lefthand corner and click "File". Click "Save". Your Bingo card should now be saved with your answers. :-)

Tea Bingo Details!

Are we ready for the Tea Bingo? Here's how it will work:
You will need to email your 'bingo card' words to k1t2mary@gmail.com by Wednesday, Sept 18th. I will start calling words on the 19th. You MUST email your bingo card words to be a part of this contest and this contest is open to ALL Tea Party Guests.
Here is where you can find the Bingo Card. You can print one out to write your words in the boxes. When you send your bingo card words to me the order listed DOES matter, just as it does in bingo!
Each day, I will post 3 Tea Party words and you mark them on your 'card' if you have those words.
When you get Bingo, you will need to post to the blog or email them to me to win.
First person to get Bingo wins! (I will let you know which direction the Bingo will go once I have everyone's filled out Bingo card words).
YOU will be responsible for emailing me or putting a comment on that day's words called to let me know you have a bingo. I will then confirm it against the 'card' you emailed me to verify. Simple, right? :) If you have any questions post them here and I will try to explain further.

Lets have some fun....

Are You Ready For Bingo?

So how's everyone doing on getting their tea packages together? I know I'm almost done with mine: I just need to knit/crochet my item (once I figure that part out..lol) Thanks to all of you who have offered suggestions and ideas in the chat group, I know I'm not the only one wondering :)

Okay...on to our next game. I've decided to do a Tea Bingo! In the next couple of days I will get our game board, list of words and other details up so we'll be able to get started. I wanted to give everyone a heads up so you can watch for it...

Now if you'll excuse me I do believe I smell some of Devon's freshly baked goodies....Sip on and mingle!

A Plug for our Sponsors

Our sponsors (see the bar on the left) each donated a set of stitch markers, but they each also have some for your shopping pleasure, should you desire your own or some for your pal. On the top, a sampling from Alabama Fibers. Those happen to belong to me, but again, you can buy your own. (I wasn't clever enough to photo the donated set before shipping...)

Next, are Surviving's, which are also a contest prize. My photo does neither set justice, so please visit our sponsors and support those who have supported us already.

It also seems like a good time to remind you of our colors of tea theme. Have fun with it, and there are some really colorful teas out there, so go wild! Just remember to honor your pal's preferences, and definitely, allergies or restrictions. When in doubt, ask! Are you about ready to ship? Time is winding down, so make those last purchases and get set to send your party to your pal.

We Have a Winner....

Tricotine is our lucky winner for the Tea Scavenger hunt. Thanks so much to all those who participated and for taking the time to look up the answers!

Be on the look out for a little something in the mail for your prize Tricotine!!!

How goes your tea party experience? Hope everyone is enjoying themselves.

Just a reminder:

• Don't forget your ship date is on or before October 1st.

Fellow tea party guests, I'm sorry for the delay in letting you know who won the scavenger contest, but my tank top was calling me and it needed to be finished. I appreciate your patients and I will get the winner up here tomorrow!

Thanks again for all those who played!
