As I like swap-bot Bingo and I have found lots of stuff in my home I have never used and obviously never will, I thought of this Bingo. :)

I am going to list 50 items. Some of them are souvenirs got as presents (and I don't care about souvenirs), some are things I have bought for swaps and not used them, some are used books (already bought as such) that we have doubles (I'm giving away the better-looking copy), some are stash items that I have more than needed (for example, I have ten colors of small flower-shaped sequins - I had to buy full packs but have used only some), and some will be handmade by me, that is extra stash turned into something. :) Everything listed as handmade is handmade by me.

Everyone who wants to take part, will choose 20 items and PM me her list no later than June 26 (or until I have listed first words). Starting with June 27th, I will pull out of "hat" five words each day for a week, then by two until three persons have got bingo. It is everyone's own responsibility (and fun) to check her own words and exclaim "bingo" in this thread when all her words have been called.

  • The winner will get all 20 items in her list.
  • The second place winner will get all items in her list except the ones taken by winner.
  • The third place winner will get all items in her list except the ones taken by two first places.

As there is a theoretical possibility that 2nd and 3rd will get nothing, I promise to try to make it to at least 10 for 2nd and at least 5 for 3rd place.

Not everything handmade I'm promised is ready at this point, and some I don't even intend to make until I know the winner and can look at her profile, so if you list lots of handmade items, you may need to be a little patient.

Here's the list:

I am going to answer all PMs so that you know I have received them (sometimes PMs get lost).

If you have my e-mail address, feel free to send your list by e-mail - I just didn't want to have my (still spam-free) address in open internet.

YarnAddict 06/21/2008

pahasiga 06/22/2008

Send me a PM with twenty items of the list above - so that I knew what to send you if you win - and then wait for June 27th. :)

TrayLite 06/22/2008

hoppyloo 06/22/2008

thefruid 06/22/2008

Wow! Pm'ing you now :)

pahasiga 06/22/2008

Well, TrayLite, I will not be able to quarantee I pick exactly your words... ;)

I have answered all PMs I have received by now. In two cases, there were less items than 20 - please review and resend your lists! :) (Good thing to catch it early, I think...)

paulavelosa 06/24/2008

hello all players! I sent my list to Pahasiga, now what words are mines? You'll send me them?

LisseasLuxuries 06/24/2008

pahasiga - What an awesome idea...you are so cool!!! Please count me in!!! I'll PM you my list shortly...

pahasiga 06/24/2008

Paulavelosa - your words are these same that you just sent me. I will be calling these same words, like "wooden embellishments" (I will skip explanations and links) and everyone who had "wooden embellishments" in their lists can mark it somehow to remember it has been called. I don't know how other people did it in their swap-bot bingo game (that currently has got as far as round #14), I just had my words next to computer and stroke words as they were called.

paulavelosa 06/25/2008

ok! got it!!!! This will be fun! (usually I don“t come this part of swap-bot, that's why I never played this game).

pahasiga 06/26/2008

Less than 24 hours until first words! I guess I'll draw them around 9 or 10 AM by GMT+02:00 - is it 27th then everywhere already?
