I never quite caught-on, but I now collect vintage bingo cards so that I can make seasonal ornaments and lamp shade decorations.
This coming weekend we will be traveling across the state to visit my MIL in a rehabilitation center and to celebrate her 70th birthday. On top of all her ongoing health issues, she suffered a stroke a few weeks ago. She also has a pretty serious surgery looming on the horizon once she's been given clearance.
I can't help but think of her when I play with my bingo cards.Easter image from Miss Rhea's Sweet & Shabby Roses
Happy soon-to-be birthday, Nana.We love you very much.

ReplyDeletePS this is a very interesting post, I have never heard of bingo card decorations/ crafting. I am going to investigate further.
I used to be able to find these bingo cards all the time and now no where...I love what you have done and the crepe paper...many prayers to your MIL. Enjoy your trip and mark those flea markets down. Smiles...Renee

ReplyDeleteI have several old cards, and have never made anything with them. LOVE the Halloween ones!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a nice visit with your MIL, and that her surgery goes well.
How is it you can take almost anything and find a charming use for it?
ReplyDeleteSafe travels for this weekend...Tell sweet Nana that your blog friends wish her the best during her surgery and recovery period. I know that she really wants to be home like my Aunt Sarah!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of my Aunt, she loves to play bingo...In fact, while at her retirement community, she is one of the dynamite players. She told me yesterday that she was feeling better, so she had them wheel her down to the activity room after her therapy to play. She won all kinds of goodies! I may just have to start looking for my own bingo cards to make into all kinds of lovely things like you do. Thanks for the inspiration!
Many prayers are going up for Nana!
