BINGO After Party! 2020 Annual Catalog

This year’s BINGO (catalog launch) party, knocked me off my chair!! This was also the first time we used Zoom for our event, and it was worth it.

We ended up with 19 attendees!! Y’all that’s 3 more than I had last year’s and I am truly blessed.  After the year I have had, I didn’t think I would get 6 let alone such a large number.

As always, I have a Ladybug BINGO group, where we play games for 2 weeks, ahead of party date.  We played games to earn door prize tickets, uploaded product videos, and just had fun conversing.  Plus, they always get the first look at my BOGO list.  Don't worry they didn’t get it all, there is plenty for July Sale.

What did they get in their goodie bags this year?
·         They received the stamp set Tasteful Touches, with the option to buy the coordinating dies at the discount price.
·         Share of the In Good Tastes Wood Elements.
·         2 Ink Spots with the colors Night of Navy and Smoky Slate.
·         Plus all the supplies to make 4 cards.
·         2 BINGO cards, plus a Sweet treat (they have the option to buy extra cards)


I was able to have a total of 7 prize packages, plus the final blackout game.  Each prize package contains a Stamp Set, and then 1-2 additional items. The grand prize contained the new Stampin’ Emboss and Cut Machine, plus other items with a product value of $120+.  However, when I announced that, I did not realize that it would be delayed. The winner had the option to wait on this item, including the accessories or choose something else.  Below are pictures of the other 7 prizes.

         

         

         


 Then we had prize patrol, sort of.  I used all of my retired products such as DSP, cardstock, embellishments and my Paper Pumpkin Ink Spots for prizes.  I then drew names from the door prize tickets they had earned during the two weeks. Using Random.org of course, as there were a lot of door prize tickets given out.  Here are some pictures of what I bagged up for them to choose from.  I put numbers on the packages and posted the night before for them to make “wish lists” of what they wanted when their name was called.  And EVERYONE earned a few door prizes, no one ever leaves without a little something.


Now onto to the cards we create this year.  And I have to say I was scared at first with this set.  And literally a couple nights before I had to mail out goodie boxes I came up with the ideas.  What do you think of them?

Here are a few comments from the attendees, as we were not doing short videos we forgot potty beaks, as the party goes on for 4 hours:

 Deborah Mitchem - Lovely to spend time with such caring and generous people! It’s great to put names with faces. Fantastic prizes and door prizes-I really like the way you posted the choices ahead of time so we could build a wish list-that saved a lot of time!
I am already planning the next BINGO, as I enjoy giving away prizes, the fellowship and just plain old fun we have.

Lori Fox Manicho - It was SO MUCH FUN Denise! THANK YOU! You are the BOMB!
I think I will get extra cards next time and yes more potty breaks and quite honestly the time flew by I didn’t even realize what time it was! Wonderful to put names with faces and voices and marvelous to meet everyone!

Again I want to say a big THANK YOU to everyone that signed up, as always it gets better each year.

May 2020 Thank You Card - Wildly Grateful

Here is the card I made for my May 2020 customers.  I wanted this card to be bright and cheery, with all the mess going around these days.  Let's remember that cards can brighten anyone's day!

They received these earlier in the month, and I wanted to wait until every one received before posting.

I used the new Lovely You stamp set to create a simple, but colorful card.

Bermuda Bay - 4 1/4 x 11, score @ 5 1/2
Granny Apple Green - 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
