This is more of a work in progress, but I wanted to post and share with the other Craftsters, since it was inspired by this challenge. I am so amazed by some of the entries so far, so just know that my vote will be going elsewhere!  

However, I was at a yard sale a few weeks ago, and scored these two awesome games for a QUARTER each. Yes!



I absolutely loved the vintage bingo game, especially the awesome box top, which I plan to use as wall art. The Mr. T card game is too precious to cut up or glue at this point, so it's going to stay a game.



I thought the bingo cards had such a cool look that I wanted to incorporate into my living space in an unconventional way. I went shopping for a lamp and shade at a local antique shop. Stripped the shade and dusted off the old lamp. The bingo cards are simply taped on here in rows until I get the final configuration. (Wanting to see what they'll look like side-by-side instead of overlapped.) But I'm super happy with the red and blue rows, so that element is definitely staying.



Thoughts? Anyone know how I could easily adjust the inner wire on the lampshade so that the top and bottom rings are the same circumference? (As is, the bottom is wider, meaning I have to overlap the cards.) Wire cutters, or bend the wire in on the bottom ring? It's pretty thick.

Do you regularly partake in the guilty pleasure that is ABC's The Bachelor?

TV swaps are popular on Craftster, however, I'm definitely a reality TV girl. In fact, check out this awesome Bachelor-inspired rose. When I told tracethekat I was Bachelor obsessed, she made me this awesome little memento to tide me over between seasons!



This had me wondering... if there's enough interest, I'd love to organize a low-pressure, Bachelor / Bachelorette Mini Swap (3 points) inspired by the show. It would be the perfect way to combine two of my loves, crafting and Bachelor blogging. Any takers?

Here are my two first quilts I ever made. The "crazy" quilt was a baby shower gift I made from charm packs purchased on eBay. The big blocks quilt was made from Amy Butler and some other fun fabrics!
